Chapter 81


    “Ha, ha,” David chuckled, “Isn’t that Ms. Sherilyn standing out in the crowd? You can spot her from a


    mile away, especially since she’s alone tonight. By the way, what’s she doing here all by herself at


    this hour?”


    “How should I know?” Gilbert raised an eyebrow, thinking he had no idea, either.


    Then, the pedestrian light across the street turned green, and Sherilyn dashed across. She whipped


    out her phone, unlocked a bike, and took off with a graceful push.


    Curious, David mused, “Where could she be heading thiste at night?”


    Having learned fromst time, he didn’t dare ask Gilbert if they should offer Sherilyn a lift.


    Two secondster, Gilbert spoke up, “David, follow her.”


    David blinked in surprise but quickly brightened up. “Yeah, sure thing.”


    With a press on the gas, they took off.


    David asked, “Mr. Gilbert, are we dropping Sherilyn off?”


    “No need.” To David’s surprise, Gilbert shook his head. “Don’t drive too fast. Just keep her in sight.”


    “Uh?” David was puzzled but didn’t question further. “Okay.”


    He was a seasoned driver, and tailing someone was a piece of cake. Keeping a safe distance, they


    followed Sherilyn to Twilight Trail, where Gilbert had picked her upst


    time.


    As a less promising part of the old town, this area had a few decent apartments. However, Sherilyn


    took a turn, changing her direction. The deeper they went, the more apparent the decay of the old


    town became.


    A frown crept unconsciously across Gilbert’s forehead, and even David couldn’t help but ask, “Mr.


    Gilbert, what’s Sherilyn doing here? She can’t possibly live here, can she? Maybe she’s visiting a


    friend, huh?”


    But who would visit a friend in the dead of night? Yet, the idea of Sherilyn living there didn’t seem


    right, either. After all, Gilbert might dislike her, even despise her, but he had never shortchanged


    her financially.


    Gilbert’s expression soured. “Keep following.”


    “Sure thing, Mr. Gilbert.” They drove on until the road got too narrow to continue.


    David had to stop, “Mr. Gilbert, can’t drive through here.”


    Gilbert’s face darkened as he stared down the narrow alleyway. “What’s down there?”


    1021


    “Um,” David swallowed, then revealed, “Mr. Gilbert, have you forgotten? It leads to Serenity.


    Street.”


    Serenity Street, one of Sunhaven’s characteristics, was a historic neighborhood in Sunhaven, home


    to the city’s lower echelons, a melting pot of all walks of life. It was known for itsplex and


    impoverishedmunity.


    Gilbert stepped out of the car and started walking. He was curious to see why Sherilyn. woulde


    there. However, with that slight dy, she was nowhere to be seen when he caught up.


    “Mr. Gilbert.” David stood behind him, suggesting, “Maybe Ms. Sherilyn lives here? Why don’t you


    give her a call?”

    Gilbert didn’t think calling her was an option.


    *Heh.‘ Gilbert scoffed derisively, doubting she would tell him.


    Sherilyn had left without a word, and thest time he picked her up, she only agreed to meet him at


    the entrance to Twilight Trail. He was almost sure she lived in this area!


    That was interesting. Gilbert thought, ‘Haven’t I provided her with a mansion? Why would Sherilyn


    choose to live in slums over a luxury residence? What is going through her mind? Is she out of her


    senses?”


    He didn’t care. But as Sylvia had said and as he had promised, Sherilyn was his responsibility!


    Turning around, he pulled out his phone and dialed a number.


    “Mr. Gilbert.” On the other end was Charles.


    “It’s me.” Gilbert ordered neatly, “Find out if Sherilyn lives on Serenity Street.”
