After all, Dale was a top celebrity. Whether they could get Dale into jail or not, her reputation would definitely be affected.
Gilbert had witnessed his family fall apart. He understood that everyone longed for the warmth of a family.
Haven’t Sherry endured all these years precisely to try and repair her family’s relationship?
If she impulsively made this decision, then her relationship with her family would truly be beyond repair.
He snatched Sherry’s phone, saying, “I know you’re angry, but calm down. We can get the Campbells to give you an explanation, and use this opportunity to mend things…”
“I don’t need it!” Sherry interrupted him directly. “Give me back my phone!”
“Listen to me. I’m doing this for your own good!” Impulsiveness is often followed by regret.
“I said, I don’t need it!” Sherry gritted her teeth, enunciating each word clearly. “From now on, I won’t care whether the Campbells live or die. I don’t want that trashy relationship. Even if the Campbells stood in front of me now, I wouldn’t crave their love anymore!”
Gilbert frowned, sensing something was wrong. It seemed Sherry really would be heartless towards her family. Would she do the same to him? He instinctively wanted to stop her. “Sherry, if you continue like this, you’ll have nothing left. No matter what, your family is your last refuge.”
“If all my storms come from this refuge, then I’d rather not have it!” Sherry glared fiercely at Gilbert. “That’s my business. You have no right to interfere!”
He has no right?
In the blink of an eye, Sherry snatched the phone back.
“Am I the one who has no right, or have you found someone more qualified?” Gilbert’s lips curled into a cold smile. “You’d rather ask Tyrone for help than me. You’re too close to your husband’s friend. How noble do you think you are by doing this?”
Sherry almost laughed out loud at this. “Even if I were lying on the ground dying, would you still compete with other men to show off your masculinity? You still remember Tyrone is your friend? He knew to call the police station to ask, and came to find me as soon as he knew I was released from prison. And what were you doing?”
He was…
He was waiting for Sherry to apologize and contact him first.
“I really didn’t expect anyone to target you. If you hadn’t had such a falling out with your family, and hadn’t gone after Wendy, then…”
So it was all her fault. Gilbert really managed to make her already fragile heart sink even further.

“Yeah, that’s right. It’s all my fault. I was so ungrateful! You, Wendy, and the Campbells are all top-notch good people. I’m the only bad person in this world. So can you get lost? I’m afraid I’ll bring shame upon you.”
Gilbert’s anger was also ignited. He clearly didn’t mean it that way. How could Sherry think of him like that?
But Sherry had already called the police.
Not only that, she also called Tyrone. “Mr. Davis, could you help me find security footage of Dale appearing in the suburbs? Video or pictures are both fine. I’ll pay you.”
Gilbert’s breath hitched, and even the surrounding air seemed to drop several degrees. “I’m still here. You’re calling another man for help? What am I to you? Am I even less than Tyrone?”
“At least he won’t try to smooth things over. I now understand why you were so against me trying to get you to reconcile with your mom. Because my family isn’t good. But your mom was still willing to reconcile, even if it’s just because you’re rich and powerful now.”
She’d actually experienced this kind of feigned warmth before.
She was ridiculed at her wedding.
They came to her wedding, but privately they said they wouldn’t help a company on the verge of bankruptcy, wouldn’t spend a single penny on her or the Bode family.
They pointed at her face and told her not to dream.
On the day Bode Group rose to prominence, Claire swaggered into their house, immediately demanding hundreds of millions of dollars to subsidize the Campbell family as if it were her due.
Sherry refused outright.
Claire went berserk in their house, hurling incredibly vulgar insults.
Claire called Sherry a money pit, saying she cost them so much money to raise her, and now that they were in trouble, she refused to help, calling her an ungrateful bastard.
