Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

CHAPTER 181

Slipping the card into Sherilyn’s hand, he urged, “Here, this is for you. Take it!” Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

At the moment, the crowd waiting in line watched the exchange as if it were breaking news, their eyes glued to the scene.

Visibly annoyed, Sherilyn said, “I told you I don’t want it. Please leave. Stop bothering me here.”

“Sherilyn…” The man’s expression froze, realizing that Sherilyn was upset.

With no other choice, he grasped Sherilyn’s hand, attempting to forcefully give her the card, “Just take it, it’s yours!”

“I don’t want it!” Sherilyn tried to pull her arm away, but she couldn’t break free.. Out of desperation, Sherilyn warned, “Let go of me now, or I’ll scream for help!” Without waiting for a response, she yelled at the top of her lungs, “Help!”

But to the onlookers, it was clear the man meant no harm. He was only trying to give her money.

Growing more frustrated, Sherilyn exclaimed, “Can’t you please leave me alone? I don’t want your money!”

“Sherilyn…”

Meanwhile, Gilbert was sitting in his sleek Bentley, having just finished a social engagement, heading back to Golden Oak Manor when he drove past the entrance of TeeMall.

He spotted Sherilyn in the crowd, being harassed by a man! Surrounded by so many people, yet no one intervened!

Gilbert instructed, “David, stop the car!”

“Uh?” David braked as Gilbert rushed out. “Mr. Gilbert, where are you going?”

“Sherilyn’s in trouble!” As his words faded, he was already sprinting toward

her.

“Ah?” David was momentarily stunned before he noticed Sherilyn. He smiled

knowingly. “Well, Mr. Gilbert’s got quite the eye now.”

Previously, Gilbert claimed he could always spot Sherilyn in a crowd. It seemed Gilbert had become that person himself.

“Let her go!” Gilbert forcefully grabbed the man’s arm, pushing him away effortlessly.

Upon closer inspection, Gilbert recognized him. It wasn’t the first time this man had bothered Sherilyn and last time, he had also intervened!

Immediately, Gilbert’s hostility skyrocketed, his gaze piercing. “Who the hell are you?”

That look was terrifying. If it weren’t illegal, the man might already be on his way to the afterlife!

“I…” The man swallowed nervously, his eyes darting toward Sherilyn in fear.

“Just go!” Sherilyn was exasperated. What good would looking at her do? He should hurry up and leave!

“Oh, okay!” The man nodded, finally realizing the urgency, and turned to run.

“Thinking of running?” Gilbert wasn’t about to let him off. He took a step forward, ready to chase.

“Don’t chase him!” In a panic, Sherilyn grabbed Gilbert’s hand.

“Sherilyn!” Gilbert was stunned, his temper flaring. “Are you defending him?”

Sherilyn held onto him, fearing he would pursue the man if she let go.

She was shocked by Gilbert’s misunderstanding. “Nonsense. I’m not defending him!”

That made sense. Sherilyn had been struggling.

She glanced at the enraged Gilbert. “For someone like him, would you break the law?”

To her, both men were undesirable! Yet, Gilbert was still an outsider. The person Sherilyn despised was this middle–aged man! This man was the root of her misery!

If Gilbert had acted in broad daylight, he would have to bear legal

consequences!

Upon hearing that, Gilbert’s mood brightened. Was Sherilyn concerned for him? Instantly, he felt better.

Looking down, he noticed Sherilyn holding his hand, his lips curving into a smile. “Ahem…”
