Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 909

Pushing him away, Sherilyn bolted out the door.

"Sherilyn!"

"Gilbert!"

Gilbert immediately went after her, but Caroline called him back.

He turned around to see Caroline's cheeks flushed and swollen. Sherilyn's slap had really packed a punch. Tears welled up in Caroline's eyes as she choked out, "It wasn't me! It really wasn't! Don't you believe me?"

"..." Gilbert took a deep breath, noncommittal, "All I can say is I hope it wasn't you."

"Gilbert!"

He turned and walked away, not looking back.

Bodyguards blocked her path; Sherilyn couldn't get far.

"Ms. Gomez, please wait."

"Sherilyn!"

Gilbert quickly caught up, "Don't be upset! There are still details we need to figure out... Saul and Caroline have conflicting stories, and we can't be sure Saul isn't lying, right?" "Really?"

Sherilyn looked at him, a hint of a smile on her lips, "Then tell me, why would Saul frame her?"

"That's something we need to investigate..."

"No need."

Sherilyn took a shallow breath, shaking her head, her gaze drifting away.
