Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 1017

"Here's the scoop..."

After exchanging money for information, the fan laid out the details to Sherilyn in a straightforward manner.

"Got it, thanks." Sherilyn waved her off. "You can leave now."

Once the conversation ended, Candida stepped forward to escort the fan out, leaving Sherilyn with a sudden clarity.

No wonder!

That night at the hotel, she had felt an odd, uncontrollable urge to embrace Gilbert...

And then, one thing led to another...

It was all because of a love potion!

According to the fan, Karol had been lurking outside the room all night, waiting for Gilbert to return, planning to seduce him...

So, it was clear.

Karol must have seen her enter the room with Gilbert the night before...

Her plan had failed.

After waiting all night and seeing Sherilyn leave, Karol sneaked in, probably to cover her tracks...

But she didn't expect Sherilyn to outsmart her!

Such audacity! To think she tried to deceive Gilbert! And even after her plan failed, she dared to lie to him again!

Sherilyn was almost impressed with Karol's guts!

Did she ever consider the consequences of her deceit?

In the end, Karol's downfall was a result of her own cunning, a trap of her own making.

What was she after?

To annoy her?

Sherilyn was baffled. Karol seemed genuinely infatuated with Gilbert!

...

At a little past eight, Sherilyn finished removing her makeup and left the dressing room, only to find Gilbert waiting for her.

Sherilyn was momentarily surprised. "You're here again?"

Wasn't he busy? Always running around, and yet he found time to come to her. Wasn't he tired?

"I didn't come specifically for you."

So, it was only that one time they were tricked?

Their supposed betrayal... was just a huge misunderstanding?

...

Looking into his eyes, Sherilyn remained silent.

How was she supposed to tell him that she was the one who spent that night with him...?

That night, he had been so utterly fooled.

Under the influence of the love potion and alcohol... he had believed Karol...

What would his reaction be if she told him now?

He had always been determined to have her, relentlessly pursuing her...

"Sherilyn..."

Seeing Sherilyn's stern face, silent and unresponsive, Gilbert grew anxious. "I know you hate hearing about Karol, and I never had the chance to explain..."

His adam's apple bobbed nervously. "I'm sorry, I owe you an apology, but, Sherilyn, it wasn't something I did on purpose..."

"Uh!"
