Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

After everything that had happened, the first person Sherilyn wanted to turn to was him!

"Sherilyn."

Edgar's gaze was intense. "From now on, just like today, no matter what happens, call me first. No matter what I'm doing, I'll be right there by your side."

Sherilyn was stunned.

Of course, she was moved. There was a warm, melting feeling in her chest... This feeling of being cherished felt absolutely amazing.

Before this, she could never have imagined that one day, someone would treat her with such solemnity.

As if, in his life, she was his number one...

Everything else was secondary.

"It's late, I should go. You should get some sleep. Goodnight."

Not wanting to disturb her further, Edgar waved and turned to leave.

"Goodnight."

Sherilyn murmured softly, gently closing the door. Soon after, her phone buzzed with a message from Edgar.

[Don't let the wound get wet, and remember to take your medicine.]

All of a sudden, Sherilyn got a lump in her throat and her eyes welled up with tears.

...

After seeing Sherilyn off, Gilbert turned to summon Charles.

"Mr. Gilbert, your orders?"

Gilbert's narrow eyes slightly narrowed. Those who knew him well understood that this expression meant he was in a bad mood.

"Deal with Vincent."

Charles was puzzled. "Mr. Gilbert, what exactly do you mean by 'deal with'? How far are we talking?"

He knew that Nexus Media Group had recently invested in Vincent's new film.

"Cancel his new project?"

Gilbert smirked sinisterly.

"Not just canceling the new project. I want... to ensure that the name 'Vincent' is never seen in this industry again!"

This was a total ban!

Charles shivered, replying, "Understood."

He had accompanied Gilbert tonight and had seen what had happened to Sherilyn.

Mr. Gilbert was, in a way, avenging Sherilyn?

But, wasn't this revenge a bit too harsh?

Harsh? Gilbert didn't think so. Vincent had dared to lay his hands on Sherilyn! Merely banning him, without breaking those hands, was already being polite!

Thinking about this, Gilbert couldn't help but feel a headache.

Was it not better to stay in the dance troupe?

Instead, she was expelled!

Just entering the entertainment industry and already being bullied. She was really making him worry...

No, Sherilyn would be better off returning to dance with the Lightning Dance Troupe.

However, the approach through Derek Brooks' mother that Edgar had tried was clearly a dead end.

So, what other ways were there?

Gilbert looked at Charles, asking, "Does Daphne have any weaknesses?"

"What?" Charles was taken aback, shaking his head. "Not sure... but everyone has weaknesses, no exceptions."

Gilbert narrowed his eyes. "In that case, have someone dig into Daphne, the more detailed, the better." ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

He refused to believe Daphne was that difficult to deal with. There had to be a way to get Sherilyn back into the Lightning Dance Troupe!

"Yes, Mr. Gilbert."

...

The next day, Sherilyn arrived at the set with a nervous heart.

After screwing up last night, she was unsure how to face Blake and Caleb Marshall.

"Sherilyn's here."

To her surprise, Blake greeted her as if nothing had happened.

"Quick, Mr. Marshall has some time now and wants to see you."

"Oh, okay."

Confused, Sherilyn followed him to meet Caleb.

"Sherilyn."

Unexpectedly, today, Caleb greeted her more warmly than ever before. "You're here. Good, take a seat and let's talk."
