CHAPTER 182


    Sherilyn gasped in shock, quickly pulling her hand away.


    Gilbert stared at her, his smile widening.


    “Fine then.” Gilbert was pleased. “I wouldn’t bother getting into a fight over someone like that. By


    the way, who is he?”


    Sherilyn frowned, remaining silent.


    “You don’t have to say it. I already know,” Gilbert snorted, convinced Sherilyn must have caught the


    attention of some sleazebag while dancing at Neon Nights Bar. Thankfully, she had given up


    dancing there. It seemed a wise decision to have her join Daphne’s dance crew. But he had a


    problem at the


    moment.


    Narrowing his eyes, Gilbert studied Sherilyn. “What are you doing here sote at night?”


    Sherilyn was impatient. “None of your business. You can leave now.”


    That kind of attitude was something Gilbert had gotten used to.


    She was not going to talk, huh?


    Gilbert nced around, noting the line forming. He took out his phone, nodding toward someone in


    line. “Tell me, why are you guys queuing up here? I’ll pay you. How much do you want? Five


    thousand dors enough?”


    Of course, that was more than enough! Còntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    The chosen person beamed, grinning from ear to ear. “Well, you see…”


    “Hey! Gilbert, have you lost your mind?” Sherilyn was stunned. Was he crazy to pay five thousand


    dors to get someone to talk?


    But the guy didn’t care about their fight. He exined the limited release, smiling as he held his


    phone for payment. “Thanks. Here’s my PayPal.”


    “Hmm.” Gilbert didn’t even blink at the sum. To him, it was less than a drop in the bucket, hardly a


    reason for Sherilyn to make such a fuss.


    After paying, Gilbert grabbed Sherilyn by the arm.

    Sherilyn was annoyed. If it weren’t for Gilbert had just helped her out, she would have wanted to


    fight back. “What are you doing now?”


    “Come with me.” Gilbert’s eyes were half–lidded with disdain as he tapped her head lightly. “What


    were you thinking?”


    To think she was nning to queue all night for a toy. She was so thin. Did she think her body could


    handle it?


    Gilbert said, “Let’s go. Time to get you home to sleep.”


    “I’m not leaving.” Sherilyn couldn’t match his strength but tried to reason with him. “I have my


    reasons. Please, can you respect that?”


    She was determined to get that gift for Jenna!


    “Not leaving, huh?” Gilbert looked down at her, towering above.


    “Yes, not leaving.” Sherilyn nodded resolutely.


    “Fine!” The next moment, Gilbert bent down, scooped Sherilyn in his arms, and carried her away.


    “Wow!” The line erupted into chaos!


    No one expected such a spectacle in the middle of the night!


    But Sherilyn was terrified. “Gilbert! Put me down!”


    “I won’t listen. Why should I?” Gilbert retorted, ignoring her pleas. “You haven’t listened to a word


    I’ve said.”


    “You…” Sherilyn was livid, shaking with anger at his unreasonable behavior. She struggled in his


    arms. “Let me go. Let go!”


    “Stop squirming!” He was worried she might fall and get hurt.


    Finally, Gilbert relented and set her down. Sherilyn pushed him away and ran back, but it was too


    late. Many people were eyeing the limited–edition Minniel Mouse toy.


    Aside from their line, others were watching from the sidelines, waiting for someone to give up and


    leave the line! The moment Gilbert had carried Sherilyn away, the line moved forward, filling in her


    spot. And there was no ce left for her. She’d have to start from the end if she wanted to queue.


    But
