"If he's threatening you, he should know better than to mess with someone under Nine Harrison's protection."

Sherilyn's heart skipped a beat.

She understood what Gilbert was doing. He was not only solving her problem but also sending a warning to that person. If that person had any sense, they'd back off now. With that, it seemed the matter was resolved.

The tension that had been coiling in her mind relaxed instantly.

Sherilyn fluttered her eyelashes, pursed her lips, and after a moment, spoke softly, "...Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Gilbert nodded, his smile faint. "Don't mention it."

He looked down at her, his gaze so intense it seemed almost tangible.

Sherilyn felt a flutter of nerves and awkwardly turned her face away to avoid his gaze.

Gilbert's smile faltered for a moment. "I'll go check on Jenna."

As he stepped inside, Rebecca White rushed over to Sherilyn, phone in hand.

"Sherilyn, look!"

Thanks to Gilbert's post, public opinion had done a complete 180.
