"Ah!"
Sherilyn clutched her head in agony, her emotions spiraling out of control.
The door burst open as Galen rushed in, both of them moving swiftly towards each other.
Galen: "What are you doing here?"
Edgar: "What did you say to Sherilyn? Why is she like this?"
"Sherilyn!"
Edgar sat down on the edge of the bed, wrapping Sherilyn in his arms, "It's me, Edgar! I told him to leave! He's gone, okay?"
"Aren't you leaving yet?" Galen's disdain for Gilbert was palpable. "My sister doesn't want to see you!"
Gilbert's lips were a thin line, his jaw clenched tight. He glanced at Sherilyn, then abruptly turned away.
The door to the room shut behind him, and Gilbert closed his eyes in resignation. Sherilyn truly does not even wish to see him anymore! But while she could choose to not see him, he couldn't just stand by and do nothing about her!
Gilbert looked at Edwin Morris, his brows furrowed, "Mr. Morris, I need to discuss something with you..."
"Go ahead."
"What if there's no surveillance evidence, but there are witnesses?"
"Witnesses?" Edwin Morris paused, puzzled. "Where would we get witnesses from?"
He had thoroughly understood the entire situation, and there hadn't been...
Gilbert tugged at his lip, "If I say there will be, then there definitely will be."
"This...?"
Edwin Morris was taken aback, then it dawned on him, "What are you suggesting?"
"Why so surprised?" Gilbert glanced at him sideways, "Mr. Morris, to have reached your position, you must have used some tactics."
Morris couldn't argue with that.
However, he was curious, "You really trust her that much? The altercation with Yuna might not have been entirely without mishap..."
"If she said it didn't happen, then it didn't!" Gilbert interrupted him, his temper flaring, "I'll handle this. If anything goes wrong, pretend you were uninformed and blame me."
"Don't rush things. If it doesn't work out, you could be obstructing justice. Trials are a hassle, but it doesn't mean you'll lose..."
"I can't wait." Gilbert was adamant. Sherilyn was already scared sick! Besides, he had personally promised Jenna that her mom would be home tomorrow... He couldn't break his word, couldn't disappoint his daughter!
Suddenly, the door to the room opened, and Edgar came out, his expression unreadable.
