In that moment, Sherilyn suddenly pushed Rebecca. "You gotta run!"
"What?" Rebecca was taken aback but quickly caught on.
Shaking her head, she said, "No, I won't leave... It was my fault."
"Go, now!" Sherilyn implored, her brow furrowed with urgency. "I'll stay!"
If it weren't for her, Rebecca wouldn't have been dragged into this mess. She couldn't just abandon her friend, the one who stood up for her, when trouble hit!
That's not how you treat friends.
"No way, I'm not leaving!"
But Rebecca stood her ground. Caroline had hurt her leg, and things were complicated. How could she just let her friend take the blame for her?
Meanwhile, the assistant carefully helped a barely conscious Caroline onto a stretcher and then pointed accusingly in Sherilyn and Rebecca's direction.
"Grab them! Don't let them get away!"
...
As soon as Gilbert wrapped up his meeting, Charles informed him, "Mr. Gilbert, your phone's been ringing off the hook. It's Ms. Bennett's assistant."
Something wrong?
Gilbert frowned slightly.
Even though his brother was now awake, he was still in recovery, so Caroline's assistant still preferred to call him for emergencies.
Picking up his phone, Gilbert called back.
"Mr. Johnson!"
On the other end, the assistant was frantic. "Caroline's been injured on set! Something fell and hurt her leg!"
What? Gilbert's eyes flashed with anger. "How could you let this happen? Can't you do your job? If not, get lost!"
"Mr. Johnson."
The assistant braced for the scolding, then carefully said, "It was intentional, we were... caught off guard."
This was serious?
"Who?" Gilbert's eyes narrowed, a cold light flashing through them. Was someone really that bold?
"Sherilyn, Rebecca."
Hmm? Gilbert paused, thinking he'd misheard, a smirk unknowingly forming. "Who? Say that again."
"Sherilyn, Rebecca."
