Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 351

Gilbert's patience was wearing thin. "Out with it!" he demanded.

Charles hesitated before finally speaking, "It's about that taxi... they've found it."

"And Sherilyn?" Gilbert pressed, his voice laced with urgency.

Shaking his head, Charles replied, "No word on her yet..."

Instantly, Gilbert's temper flared. "And you call this news?"

Charles hung his head in shame, unable to muster a defense.

However, Edgar Ferguson, overhearing the conversation, zeroed in on the critical piece of information. "Sherilyn's missing?!"

So, Gilbert was here looking for Sherilyn?

Observing their reactions, it was clear to Gilbert that Sherilyn wasn't here.

"Charles, let's go."

"Yes, Mr. Gilbert."

"Hold on!"

But how could Edgar let them just walk away? Grabbing Gilbert by the shoulder, he demanded, "Spill it. How did Sherilyn go missing?"

Seeing their frantic search and recalling the morning's altercation... He and Gilbert had come to blows!

Overcome with rage and disregarding any semblance of decorum, Edgar confronted Gilbert. "Did you lay a hand on Sherilyn? Did you hurt her?"

Gilbert paused, not denying it.

Though he hadn't physically harmed Sherilyn, he had to admit his behavior was hardly better.

"You!" Edgar's assumption seemed confirmed. "Asshole!"

In a fit of anger, Edgar grabbed Gilbert's collar, his fury palpable. "Are you even a man? How could you hurt Sherilyn?"

Suddenly, his fist flew towards Gilbert.

"Mr. Gilbert!"
