Chapter 182
Sherilyn gasped in shock, quickly pulling her hand away.
Gilbert stared at her, his smile widening.
“Fine then.” Gilbert was pleased. “I wouldn’t bother getting into a fight over someone like that. By the way, who is he?”
Sherilyn frowned, remaining silent.
“You don’t have to say it. I already know,” Gilbert snorted, convinced Sherilyn must have caught the attention of some sleazebag while dancing at Neon Nights Bar. Thankfully, she had given up dancing there. It seemed a wise decision to have her join Daphne’s dance crew. But he had a problem at the
moment.
Narrowing his eyes, Gilbert studied Sherilyn. “What are you doing here so late at night?”
Sherilyn was impatient. “None of your business. You can leave now.”
That kind of attitude was something Gilbert had gotten used to.
She was not going to talk, huh?
Gilbert glanced around, noting the line forming. He took out his phone, nodding toward someone in line. “Tell me, why are you guys queuing up here? I’ll pay you. How much do you want? Five thousand dollars enough?”
Of course, that was more than enough!
The chosen person beamed, grinning from ear to ear. “Well, you see…”
“Hey! Gilbert, have you lost your mind?” Sherilyn was stunned. Was he crazy to pay five thousand dollars to get someone to talk?
But the guy didn’t care about their fight. He explained the limited release, smiling as he held his phone for payment. “Thanks. Here’s my PayPal.”
“Hmm.” Gilbert didn’t even blink at the sum. To him, it was less than a drop in the bucket, hardly a reason for Sherilyn to make such a fuss.
After paying, Gilbert grabbed Sherilyn by the arm.

Chapter 182
Sherilyn was annoyed. If it weren’t for Gilbert had just helped her out, she would have wanted to fight back. “What are you doing now?”
“Come with me.” Gilbert’s eyes were half–lidded with disdain as he tapped her head lightly. “What were you thinking?”
To think she was planning to queue all night for a toy. She was so thin. Did she think her body could handle it?
Gilbert said, “Let’s go. Time to get you home to sleep.”
“I’m not leaving.” Sherilyn couldn’t match his strength but tried to reason with him. “I have my reasons. Please, can you respect that?”
She was determined to get that gift for Jenna!
“Not leaving, huh?” Gilbert looked down at her, towering above.
“Yes, not leaving.” Sherilyn nodded resolutely.
“Fine!” The next moment, Gilbert bent down, scooped Sherilyn in his arms, and carried her away.
