"Hmm."Faced with his threat, Sherilyn simply smiled faintly.

With a calm and assured tone, she said, "No, you won't." "Sherilyn!"

"Mr. Gilbert."

Ignoring his rising fury about to erupt, Sherilyn continued clearly, "How much do you care about your family's reputation? Today, if you walk out of here, at most you'll be seen as a man jealous over a cabaret dancer, no big deal! But-"

Her tone shifted, laced with a hint of mockery.

"If you turn the Neon Nights Bar upside down, I'll reveal my identity! To you, I might be nothing, but unfortunately, I still bear Mrs. Johnson's title."

She laughed, continuing, "By then, the whole of Sunhaven will be buzzing-Gilbert's wife, a notorious dancer of the Neon Nights Bar!"

Gilbert was taken aback, his handsome face instantly wrapped in a chill, mixing complexly with anger.

"Ha."

Sherilyn laughed again. "Mr. Gilbert, such an embarrassing matter, you wouldn't allow it to happen, would you?"

The air turned deathly silent.

Gilbert had to admit, her words hit right at his weak spot! He couldn't risk the entire Johnson family's name, turning it into a laughing stock all over Sunhaven! "Fine, very well!"

Gilbert narrowed his eyes, a cold sneer playing on his lips. "Sherilyn, you truly are an ungrateful creature! My family took you in, and now, you use my family's reputation to threaten me?"

"I dare not." Sherilyn looked at his cold, stern face. "As long as you leave me be, nothing will happen. I'll soon... no longer be a Johnson, why bother?"

Their eyes met and held, a silent standoff between them.

Knock, knock.

Someone gently tapped on the door.

"Who is it?" Gilbert growled irritably.
