Chapter 401 

Sherilyn smirked, things were unfolding just as she had anticipated. 

Luckily, she had a backup plan. 

Because of a prior agreement with Caroline, she hadn’t intended to use it. 

That morning, before she handed Rebecca’s phone over to Caroline, she had made a little ‘move‘. 

She made a backup of the video Caroline tripping her that Rebecca had recorded. 

So, why hadn’t Caroline noticed? 

Given the advancements in smartphones, any trace of uploads or transfers could be detected… 

It turned out that Sherilyn hadn’t uploaded or transferred the video; she’d used her own phone to record a copy and saved it on her personal cloud storage! 

Taking a deep breath, Sherilyn picked up her phone, opened the video, and placed it in front of Gilbert. 

“Could you take a look at this, please?” 

“What’s this?” Gilbert seemed disinterested at first, but as he glanced at the phone screen, his brows furrowed… Caroline had actually pushed Sherilyn! Was this the real story? 

Was Sherilyn hurt? Where was she injured? 

“You…” But before he could properly ask, Sherilyn cut him off. 

Putting away her phone, she said, “The Johnson Group owns Nexus Media Group, and I don’t need to spell out the consequences if this video goes public. All you need to do is let Rebecca go, and I promise, the video will be destroyed.” 

What? Gilbert was stunned. 

So, she wasn’t using this video to tell him about her grievances! 

Instead, she was using it to blackmail him into releasing Rebecca? 

No wonder she didn’t come to him, begging. It turns out she had this ace up her sleeve! 

Huh, pretty smart. 

“So, you used this video to make Caroline drop the charges yesterday?” 

“Yeah.” Sherilyn nodded, almost certain he had no choice of course, he had no choice. 

How could he possibly risk Caroline’s reputation and future?

Sherilyn’s lips curved into a smile, “As long as Rebecca is free, my word is good…” 

“On what grounds?!” 

Suddenly, Gilbert stepped closer, looming over her as if to take her into his embrace. 

The icy sharpness in his eyes revealed his displeasure at the moment! 

“Threatening me? Hmm?” 

Sherilyn opened her mouth, her expression stiffening, “It’s either Caroline’s reputation and future, or Rebecca going to jail for Caroline’s sake. Your call!” 

Deciding to be bold, she tilted her head up, fearlessly meeting his gaze. 

“I didn’t want to do this, but you care so much about Caroline, this was the only way, uh…”
