Chapter 220 "Wait, you guys..." "That's right." Edgar stepped before Sherilyn, shielding her. "Sherilyn is my girlfriend. She has every right to be here today. As for you lot..." His gaze swept over Darlene and her crew. "I suggest you leave. Now. Anyone who slanders my girlfriend isn't welchere." Sherilyn was Edgar's girlfriend? The revelation was like a bombshell, leaving everyone except Gilbert utterly shocked.
"Well, are you going to leave or not?" Edgar didn't care what they thought. "If you don't leave now, I'll have to get security to kick you out!" When the host himself had spoken, what choice did they have? Sticking around and causing a scene would only make things worse.
"Fine, we're going!" Darlene bit her lip in humiliation, glaring at Sherilyn venomously before storming out. Her clique was fuming.

Irritated, Darlene snapped back, "Shut up, will you? Let's go!" She wasn't paying attention and stumbled over something, or rather, someone.
"Caroline?" Darlene's face paled as she quickly apologized, "Oh my god, I'm so sorry! Are you okay?" Caroline replied, "I'm..." "What do you think?" Before Caroline could respond, looking like the Grim Reaper with his dark scowl, Gilbert glared at Darlene.
Darlene nearly lost her soul from the fright.
"Gilbert..." Caroline tugged at his sleeve, whispering, "I'm fine. It wasn't that bad." She gestured to Darlene with her eyes, signaling her to get a move on.
"Uh!" Darlene shivered and was about to bolt.
"Stop right there!" Out of nowhere, Gilbert's command stopped her dead in her tracks. "You're not going anywhere!" Yates patted Gilbert on the shoulder, trying to calm him down. “Con, man. Caroline said she was fine. It was just a mistake. Let's not make a big deal out of it." Gilbert grunted, obviously not ready to let it go. He hadn't fully vented his anger yet! Caroline saw it all and couldn't help but roll her eyes at Sherilyn, thinking, 'Gilbert isn't doing this for me, using it as an excuse to flex his muscles.' As expected, Gilbert turned to Darlene. “Didn't you hear Edgar earlier? You owe Sherilyn an apology. Are you deaf?" Darlene was stunned, mouth agape.
"Now!" Gilbert stamped his foot, and it felt like the floor shook! "I apologize!" Darlene swallowed hard, her attitude toward Sherilyn suddenly humble. "Sherilyn, I'm sorry for the nonsense I spouted earlier. Please don't take it to heart."
"Uh..." Sherilyn was awkward. She'd never seen Darlene so subservient, which made her uhcòmfortable. “It's okay." "Mr. Gilbert!" Darlene sounded like she just got a pardon. "Can I go now?" "Scram." Gilbert knitted his brows together, waving her off impatiently.

Sherilyn watched the whole scene, thinking, 'Mr. Gilbert sure hasa m temper all because Caroline got stepped on."
It seemed she was inadvertently benefiting from Caroline's Caroline'smisfortune. But she didn't need it.
"So," Derek, who had been quiet till, finally spoke up, looking at Gilbert with an Chapter 220 uneasy expression. "Since when did Sherilyn becEdgar's girl?" Was Gilbert over Sherilyn, not looking to rekindle anything with her?
