CHAPTER 181


    Slipping the card into Sherilyn’s hand, he urged, “Here, this is for you. Take it!”


    At the moment, the crowd waiting in line watched the exchange as if it were breaking news, their


    eyes glued to the scene.


    Visibly annoyed, Sherilyn said, “I told you I don’t want it. Please leave. Stop bothering me here.”


    “Sherilyn…” The man’s expression froze, realizing that Sherilyn was upset.


    With no other choice, he grasped Sherilyn’s hand, attempting to forcefully give her the card, “Just


    take it, it’s yours!”


    “I don’t want it!” Sherilyn tried to pull her arm away, but she couldn’t break free.. Out of desperation,


    Sherilyn warned, “Let go of me now, or I’ll scream for help!” Without waiting for a response, she


    yelled at the top of her lungs, “Help!”


    But to the onlookers, it was clear the man meant no harm. He was only trying to give her money.


    Growing more frustrated, Sherilyn eximed, “Can’t you please leave me alone? I don’t want your


    money!”


    “Sherilyn…”


    Meanwhile, Gilbert was sitting in his sleek Bentley, having just finished a social engagement,


    heading back to Golden Oak Manor when he drove past the entrance of TeeMall.


    He spotted Sherilyn in the crowd, being harassed by a man! Surrounded by so many people, yet no


    one intervened!


    Gilbert instructed, “David, stop the car!”


    “Uh?” David braked as Gilbert rushed out. “Mr. Gilbert, where are you going?”


    “Sherilyn’s in trouble!” As his words faded, he was already sprinting toward


    her.


    “Ah?” David was momentarily stunned before he noticed Sherilyn. He smiled

    knowingly. “Well, Mr. Gilbert’s got quite the eye now.”


    Previously, Gilbert imed he could always spot Sherilyn in a crowd. It seemed Gilbert had be


    that person himself.


    “Let her go!” Gilbert forcefully grabbed the man’s arm, pushing him away effortlessly.


    Upon closer inspection, Gilbert recognized him. It wasn’t the first time this man had bothered


    Sherilyn andst time, he had also intervened!


    Immediately, Gilbert’s hostility skyrocketed, his gaze piercing. “Who the hell are you?”


    That look was terrifying. If it weren’t illegal, the man might already be on his way to the afterlife!


    “I…” The man swallowed nervously, his eyes darting toward Sherilyn in fear.


    “Just go!” Sherilyn was exasperated. What good would looking at her do? He should hurry up and


    leave!


    “Oh, okay!” The man nodded, finally realizing the urgency, and turned to run.


    “Thinking of running?” Gilbert wasn’t about to let him off. He took a step forward, ready to chase.

    “Don’t chase him!” In a panic, Sherilyn grabbed Gilbert’s hand.


    “Sherilyn!” Gilbert was stunned, his temper ring. “Are you defending him?”


    Sherilyn held onto him, fearing he would pursue the man if she let go.


    She was shocked by Gilbert’s misunderstanding. “Nonsense. I’m not defending him!”


    That made sense. Sherilyn had been struggling.


    She nced at the enraged Gilbert. “For someone like him, would you break thew?”


    To her, both men were undesirable! Yet, Gilbert was still an outsider. The person Sherilyn despised


    was this middle–aged man! This man was the root of her misery!


    If Gilbert had acted in broad daylight, he would have to bear legal

    consequences!


    Upon hearing that, Gilbert’s mood brightened. Was Sherilyn concerned for him? Instantly, he felt


    better.


    Looking down, he noticed Sherilyn holding his hand, his lips curving into a smile. “Ahem…”
