Chapter 105

In that brief moment when their eyes met, Sherilyn could swear she saw in Gilbert the same fury one might expect from a husband discovering his wife's infidelity. "PM! Look what you've done!"

With a mere gesture from Gilbert, the cops burst into action. But after a thorough search, they came up empty.

"No one here?"

"Just her?"

"How can this be?"

Gilbert couldn't believe it. Veins throbbed at his temples as his blood pressure surged, but after checking himself, he found no one else!

"Where are they?"

He spun around to Sherilyn. "Where's the guy you were meeting, huh?"

"What guy?" Sherilyn scoffed. "Mr. Gilbert, please, don't make baseless accusations!"

"Sherilyn!" Gilbert shouted as he suddenly grabbed her waist.

"Ah!"

Sherilyn was startled, stumbling back onto the sofa. Gilbert loomed over her, still not letting go.

"Speak up, who were you here to see?"

"I..." Sherilyn paled, her eyelashes fluttering. "I don't know what you're talking about."

Gilbert's eyes darkened with a fierce glint. "Alright, I'll ask you straight. Have you slept with another man?"

What? Sherilyn was dumbfounded. She never expected him to ask such a question.

"Does it matter to you?" she retorted instinctively.

"I'm asking the questions here!" Gilbert snapped, running out of patience. "Answer me! Yes or no?"

His voice was loud and menacing, as if her affirmative would lead him to tear her apart. It was utterly ridiculous! Sherilyn, ever so stubborn, replied defiantly, "None. Of. Your. Business."

Gilbert froze, then suddenly released her and stood up. His towering figure cast a long shadow over Sherilyn.
