Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Caroline glared at her, a smirk playing on her lips. "Move aside? For whom? For you? Do you think you're worthy?" *Smack!*

Caught off guard, Caroline covered her cheek, staring at Callie in disbelief. "Callie! You dare hit me?"

*Smack!*

Quick as a flash, Callie slapped Caroline's other cheek.

"So what if I hit you? Do you think your name is worth mentioning? A country bumpkin thinking she's a swan among ducks? Please!"

And with that, Callie spat right in Caroline's face. Not metaphorically, but literally, sending spit flying onto Caroline's face!

"Ah!!"

Caroline screamed, on the verge of madness. Callie's spit, perfectly aimed, hung from the tip of her nose!

It was an insult no one could bear!

"Caroline, dear!"

Her assistant was terrified. With the Johnson brothers acting as her guardians, Caroline had always had a smooth path in her career, always pampered and adored!

Who had ever dared to bully her like this?

Her assistant, hands trembling, fished out a tissue from her bag and clumsily tried to clean Caroline's face.

Meanwhile, glaring at Callie, she blurted out, "Who do you think you are? You're finished in this industry! Mr. Johnson won't let you off!" "Ha ha..."

Callie, arms crossed, burst into laughter. "Mr. Johnson? Which Mr. Johnson? Caroline, you might lack in many areas, but seducing men? Top-notch! To think you've got the Johnson brothers wrapped around your finger! Climbing up the ladder by flirting, you're a disgrace to women!"

"Callie!"

Caroline, fists clenched, could no longer contain her fury and lunged at Callie, knocking her to the ground!

"Caroline!"

But was Callie someone easy to handle?

The two tangled and fought, creating a chaotic scene.

"Stop it!"

Lauren, trying to break up the fight, yelled as she stepped forward.

"Come on, help me pull them apart!"

...

Downstairs.

Gilbert arrived earlier than expected. Thinking Sherilyn was busy, he didn't call her Instead, he got out of the car and entered the building, hoping to surprise her and see her at work.

But he hadn't expected to walk into a room where it seemed like a bunch of women were brawling.

On closer inspection, it mainly involved two women... Suddenly, Gilbert's heart skipped a beat.

The one pinned to the ground was Caroline!

"Caroline!"

Gilbert strode forward.

Being a man, he easily separated the women, leaving only Callie on top of Caroline.

Gilbert grabbed Callie's arm, his face dark with anger as he barked, "Let go! Now! Or don't blame me for not going easy on you!"

"?"

Callie looked up, a flicker of surprise in her eyes.

"Gilbert?"

Seeing his unresponsive, handsome face, she couldn't hide her disappointment. "You... you don't recognize me?"

"I don't care who you are!"

Gilbert didn't spare her another glance, helping Caroline up. her disheveled hair and the scratches on her face, he

His gaze turned fierce as he glared at Callie. "Did you do this?"

His look was so intimidating, even Callie felt a chill.

Gilbert's lips were pressed tightly together, his eyes piercing. "You're lucky you're a woman!"

Otherwise, he'd make sure to repay the favor tenfold, a hundredfold for how she treated Caroline! "This isn't over!"

With those words, he helped Caroline out of the room.

Sherilyn stood on the outskirts of the crowd, silently watching his tall

Then, a mocking voice rang out.
