Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 877

"Sherilyn..."

Gilbert's gaze landed on her face, his thin lips parting slightly as he wrestled with how to break the news to her.

"What's up?"

Sherilyn's smile faltered slightly, noticing the seriousness in his expression.

"Is something wrong?"

"Yeah."

Gilbert nodded, aware that this secret couldn't be kept hidden for long.

With a solemn expression, he lifted his phone and placed it in front of Sherilyn. "Take a look for yourself." Sherilyn glanced over.

In just a moment, upon seeing the trending topic, her body went rigid, and she snatched the phone from him. Her complexion turned pale, disbelief evident in her voice.

"How could this happen? I did exactly as he said..."

"Sherilyn?"

Her reaction made Gilbert furrow his brows, speculating, "Did you know about this beforehand?"

He recalled Sherilyn acting off these past few days. Could this be what was troubling her?

"Why?"

Sherilyn lifted her head, her face so pale it was nearly translucent. "Why would he do this?"

He had already taken the money!
