Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 629



"

Gilbert paused, realizing the truth in his brother's words.

"But, big bro."

Gilbert gestured towards the neighboring house, "Don't forget, Rebecca is married!"

"Married? Ha."

Francis scoffed, "Her husband might as well not exist."

It wasn't like him to covet another man's wife, but Eddy was such a disaster that Francis couldn't help but feel drawn to Rebecca. After all, meddling in someone else's marriage wasn't exactly honorable.

Francis said, "Once the Christmas rolls around and Rebecca has her surgery to fix her eyesight, we'll handle her divorce from Eddy."

Gilbert realized his brother had everything planned out. Yet, he couldn't help but ask in a low voice, pointing next door, "Big bro, are you sure Rebecca is on board with this?"

"Huh?" Francis looked puzzled, "Why wouldn't she be?"

Getting away from Eddy, a notorious cheater and abuser, and reconnecting with her son James - wasn't that the best outcome for her?

...

Leaving the Southern District Sanatorium, Gilbert headed to his office.

On his way, he noticed no one seemed to be following him, which was odd considering Naylor's relentless nature.

At the office, after checking his schedule, which wasn't too packed, he figured he could make time to pick up Sherilyn from the set.

As expected, he wrapped up his work before five.

Grabbing his car keys and jacket, Gilbert was about to leave when his phone rang - an international number flashed on the screen. Raising an eyebrow, he answered, "Hello? Who's this?"

"Good day, is this Mr. Gilbert Johnson? This is the Swiss Embassy calling."

Switzerland? Caroline was in Switzerland!

"This is he," Gilbert's voice tensed instantly. "What's happened?"

"A Ms. Caroline mentioned you. She's run into some trouble here and sought our help. She provided your number."

Gilbert's concern deepened, "What kind of trouble?"

"She's been robbed at her residence

here, resulting in financial loss and

her passport is also missing. Additionally, she seems distressed."

"Alright, I understand."

Gilbert's voice grew colder, "Can I speak with her, please?"

"One moment..."

The line stayed open, and after a brief wait, Caroline's anxious voice came through.

"Gilbert!" She sounded frantic.

"Caroline," Gilbert tried to soothe her, "You're safe now, there's no need to worry."

"Yeah, I know."

"Good," Gilbert continued, "Can you tell me, do you know who broke into your place?"

"It was someone from Sunhaven!"

Caroline was certain, "I was sleeping in the bedroom when I heard noises. Before leaving, he had a message for you." "What message?"Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

"He said... 'Mr. Gilbert Johnson of the Johnson family, quite the hider, aren't you?""

Caroline's voice trembled as she relayed the message, "Gilbert, do they know?"

Gilbert's gaze darkened - it was the Harrison family!

Unable to get to him, they targeted someone close to him instead?

The Harrisons were ruthless,

capable of turning on their own without a second thought. And now, Caroline was caught in the crossfire because of him.

"Caroline, I'll come to Switzerland as soon as possible to bring you back. Until then, seek help from the embassy and the police for anything." "Okay!"

After hanging up, Gilbert glanced at the time and rushed to his car, heading to the set.

On the way, he called Francis.

"Big bro, it's me..."
