Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 877

“Sherilyn…”

Gilbert’s gaze landed on her face, his thin lips parting slightly as he wrestled with how to break the news to her.

“What’s up?”

Sherilyn’s smile faltered slightly, noticing the seriousness in his expression.

“Is something wrong?”

“Yeah.”

Gilbert nodded, aware that this secret couldn’t be kept hidden for long.

With a solemn expression, he lifted his phone and placed it in front of Sherilyn. “Take a look for yourself.”

Sherilyn glanced over.

In just a moment, upon seeing the trending topic, her body went rigid, and she snatched the phone from him.

Her complexion turned pale, disbelief evident in her voice.

“How could this happen? I did exactly as he said…”

"Sherilyn?"

Her reaction made Gilbert furrow his brows, speculating, “Did you know about this beforehand?”

He recalled Sherilyn acting off these past few days. Could this be what was troubling her?

“Why?”

Sherilyn lifted her head, her face so pale it was nearly translucent. “Why would he do this?”

He had already taken the money!

“I know!”

A sudden realization dawned on Sherilyn.

The person's goal wasn’t just extortion or money. That was just a side benefit. The real aim was to expose her!

But, “Why? Who could it be?”

Who would hate her this much?

Gilbert was confused. “Sherilyn, what are you talking about? What’s going on? Is this what’s been troubling you these days?”

Sherilyn lifted her gaze to him, remaining silent.

“Sherilyn!” Gilbert grew anxious. “At this point, are you still keeping things from me?”

Sherilyn’s expression was complex as she nodded. “Yes, it’s about this.”

He already knew, so there was nothing left to hide.

The issue wasn’t complex; she summed it up in a few words. “It’s like this…”

“You…” Gilbert was both angry and anxious. “Why didn’t you tell me?”

Sherilyn lowered her eyes, remaining silent.
