Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 396

"It's simple."

Sherilyn stared at her, her thoughts clear and decisive. "Rebecca's phone has a video of you tripping me... I want you to drop the charges! I want Rebecca safe and sound!"

"Alright." Caroline nodded almost without hesitation.

If that video went viral, her reputation would be ruined! In this era of the internet, celebrities couldn't afford any blemish on their record. Even with the Johnson family backing her, if she lost the affection of the general public, she was doomed to be blacklisted! That would be a fatal blow for her!

"But..." Caroline clenched her fists, her palms slick with sweat. "You have to give me her phone! I need to destroy it completely!"

"Deal." Sherilyn nodded. "Rebecca's phone was confiscated by the police. Once she's released, I'll hand it over to you myself!"

"Fine."

Caroline nodded. She wasn't worried about Sherilyn going back on her word. If she couldn't get the phone, she could always retract her promise... They both had leverage on each other.

...

At that moment, Francis had arrived but hadn't informed Gilbert in advance. Upon his arrival, he didn't head to the hospital room but to the doctor's office to inquire about Caroline's condition.

"It looked serious at first, a bloody mess, but it was just superficial wounds. Her bones are fine, just a minor fracture, no surgery needed."

Francis let out a sigh of relief. "Thank you."

"You're welcome."

But then the doctor added, "However, Mr. Johnson... The reason she passed out from the pain is related to her constitution. Since her miscarriage, she hasn't fully recovered."

The doctor was well aware of the Johnson family's status in Sunhaven and was slightly more attentive.

"Mr. Johnson, if you're planning on having children in the future, she'll need proper care and recovery."

Miscarriage?

Francis' eyebrows twitched, his handsome and refined face showing little emotion, merely nodding.
