Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 960

Since he returned to the Harrison family fold, aside from taking over various business matters, Gilbert also found himself embroiled in a silent struggle with his siblings, not daring to let his guard down for a moment.

Lately, he'd received news that One was abroad, whereabouts unknown...

Soon, the Harrison Group's board meeting was set to convene.

At this board meeting, Naylor would announce his official 'retirement', placing Gilbert on the throne as his successor to take full control of the Harrison Group.

One's disappearance at this juncture couldn't be a coincidence.

Gilbert reminisced, "Do you remember what kind of person One is, Sherilyn?"

"..." Sherilyn nodded silently, lost in thought.

Yes, she did.

In the past, Gilbert had multiple brushes with danger—knife wounds and car accidents—all orchestrated by One!

The worst incident had left him with a head injury, unconscious for several days!

"But..."

Sherilyn's voice was dry, her brow furrowed in concern. "What does this have to do with me?"

"Sherilyn..."

Gilbert gave a wry smile, "We may be divorced, we may be separated... and you may not want to be with me."

"But in the eyes of the Harrison family, you and Jenna... are my loved ones, the closest people I have in this world!"

Sherilyn was momentarily at a loss for words, her mind in turmoil.

"This is just your speculation."

For her to just move in with him because of something that hadn't happened yet? Wasn't that a bit absurd?

"It is my speculation, yes."

Gilbert didn't deny it. "But it's better to be safe than sorry. Naylor's six sons and three daughters, One being the eldest, has been in the Harrison family the longest, with the deepest connections and the most cunning of them all! Sherilyn, I can't let you and Jenna take any risks..."

His reasoning was sound.

Sherilyn understood, but she couldn't just nod in agreement.

If she agreed, and moved in with him, what would that make them?

"Hello?"

With a soft smile, she answered, "Hey, Jenna."

"Mommy, are you off work yet?"

"I'm off work, sweetie. I'll be home soon. Ready for your bath?"

"Yes, please! Mommy, Sophia and I are taking a walk. We'll wait for you downstairs and go up together!"

"Sounds good."

On the other end, Sophia could be heard chatting with Jenna.

"Are you done? Say bye to mommy."

"Oh... uh... wow..."

"Jenna!"

"Sophia!"
