Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 220

"Wait, you guys..."

"That's right." Edgar stepped before Sherilyn, shielding her. "Sherilyn is my girlfriend. She has every right to be here today. As for you lot..."

His gaze swept over Darlene and her crew. "I suggest you leave. Now. Anyone who slanders my girlfriend isn't welcome here."

Sherilyn was Edgar's girlfriend? The revelation was like a bombshell, leaving everyone except Gilbert utterly shocked.

"Well, are you going to leave or not?" Edgar didn't care what they thought. "If you don't leave now, I'll have to get security to kick you out!"

When the host himself had spoken, what choice did they have? Sticking around and causing a scene would only make things worse.

"Fine, we're going!" Darlene bit her lip in humiliation, glaring at Sherilyn venomously before storming out. Her clique was fuming.

"She's got some nerve, huh? She dumped Mr. Gilbert and snagged Mr. Ferguson!"

"Would Sylvia even look her way if she weren't capable?"

"Poor Mr. Ferguson..."

Irritated, Darlene snapped back, "Shut up, will you? Let's go!"

She wasn't paying attention and stumbled over something, or rather, someone.

"Caroline?" Darlene's face paled as she quickly apologized, "Oh my god, I'm so sorry! Are you okay?"

Caroline replied, "I'm..."

"What do you think?" Before Caroline could respond, looking like the Grim Reaper with his dark scowl, Gilbert glared at Darlene.

Darlene nearly lost her soul from the fright.

"Gilbert..." Caroline tugged at his sleeve, whispering, "I'm fine. It wasn't that bad."
