Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 96 "Hmm."Faced with his threat, Sherilyn simply smiled faintly.

With a calm and assured tone, she said, "No, you won't." "Sherilyn!" "Mr. Gilbert." Ignoring his rising fury about to erupt, Sherilyn continued clearly, "How much do you care about your family's reputation? Today, if you walk out of here, at most you'll be seen as a man jealous over a cabaret dancer, no big deal! But-" Her tone shifted, laced with a hint of mockery.

"If you turn the Neon Nights Bar upside down, I'll reveal my identity! To you, I might be nothing, but unfortunately, I still bear Mrs. Johnson's title." She laughed, continuing, "By then, the whole of Sunhaven will be buzzing-Gilbert's wife, a notorious dancer of the Neon Nights Bar!" Gilbert was taken aback, his handsface instantly wrapped in a chill, mixing complexly with anger.

"Ha." Sherilyn laughed again. "Mr. Gilbert, such an embarrassing matter, you wouldn't allow it to happen, would you?" The air turned deathly silent.

Gilbert had to admit, her words hit right at his weak spot! He couldn't risk the entire Johnson family's name, turning it into a laughing stock all over Sunhaven! "Fine, very well!" Gilbert narrowed his eyes, a cold sneer playing on his lips. "Sherilyn, you truly are an ungrateful creature! My family took you in, and now, you use my family's reputation to threaten me?" "I dare not." Sherilyn looked at his cold, stern face. "As long as you leavebe, nothing will happen. I'll soon... no longer be a Johnson, why bother?" Their eyes met and held, a silent standoff between them.

Knock, knock.

Someone gently tapped on the door.

"Who is it?" Gilbert growled irritably.

10:26 "Mr. Gilbert." Colin timidly poked half his head in, "I was wondering if you needed anything?" It was because they had been alone for quite stime. After Fred's affair, Colin was quite worried Sherilyn would be at a disadvantage. "Nothing! Get lost...

"Wait." Gilbert had just spoken when Sherilyn interrupted him.

"What are you doing?" Gilbert frowned, narrowing his eyes at her.

"Mr. Gilbert." In front of others, Sherilyn acted as if she didn't know him, "Have Colin fetch swine. You're the guest of honor tonight, Sherilyn... should toast to you." Gilbert was stunned. Even at this point, she remembered such a thing? She really treated him as her guest! If she wanted to degrade herself, why should he stop her? Gritting his teeth, he nodded, "Alright." "Colin." Sherilyn then turned to Colin by the door, "Would you mind arranging it?" "Ah, right away! I'm on it!" Colin hurried off and soon returned. Behind him, a waiter followed, carrying a tray with bottles and glasses. "Mr. Gilbert, everything is ready." Then, turning to Sherilyn, he signaled her.

Sherilyn moved forward, picked up the bottle, and filled the glasses. With both hands, she offered one to Gilbert.

"Mr. Gilbert, Sherilyn appreciates everything you've done for her. Here's to you. Mr. Gilbert, please-" Gilbert looked down, from Sherilyn to the glass in her hand.

Hmph.

With a slight smile, he took the glass, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath.

1972 Chianti... fine wine." "Indeed." After taking a shower that night, Wendy only wrapped a towel around herself before she knocked on Kenneth's room door.

Wendy did not cout of Kenneth's room again that night. 3 Early the next morning, the expressions on Christopher and Hannah's faces were very ugly, and they felt extremely embarrassed and awkward when they saw Kenneth walking down the stairs with Wendy. 5 When Kenneth realized that the couple might not be satisfied with him because of the relationship between Wendy and himself, he quickly said without any hesitation, "I have decided to invest eighty million dollars in the Wilson family to help you rebuild the Wilson Group. To prove my sincerity, I want to transfer ten million dollars to the Wilson Group today. I will pay the remaining seventy million dollars to the Wilson Group within a month! 5 As soon as he heard these words, everyone in the Wilson family was extremely excited. Christopher and Hannah no longer felt as embarrassed or uncomfortable as they did before, and they immediately treated Kenneth as their valuable guest. 5 Lady Wilson was naturally very excited at this time. Kenneth had just announced that he would be transferring ten million dollars to the Wilson Group immediately! Lady Wilson would not need to worry anymore since the Wilson Group would be able to commence its operations with Wendy as the director! 1 The Wilson family was so glad to have overcthis crisis, and they even felt like celebrating this joyous moment with a pair of firecrackers! 3 Kenneth accepted the compliments from the Wilson family with a smile on his face.

After that, he immediately asked his company's finance department to transfer ten million dollars over to the Wilson Group so that they could temporarily tide through their financial difficulties.

At the stime, Kenneth also personally transferred five million dollars to Wendy as her pocket money. 5 After all, he knew that Wendy had gone all out to serve him and make sure that he enjoyed himself thoroughly last night. Kenneth was really very satisfied with her performance as he was already in his fifties and he had not experienced this kind of excitement in a very long time. Wendy made him feel young and robust again. 6 So, after just one night, he could feel his love and affection for Wendy increasing greatly, and he even thought of keeping her as his mistress for a long time. 1 After transferring the money to the Wilson Group, Kenneth said to Lady Wilson and Wendy's parents at the dining table, "Lady Wilson, Christopher, and my family, I hope that you will agree to the gratuitous request that I am going to make now."

Lady Wilson was still trembling with excitement and she replied joyously, "Chairman Wilson, we are all family. Please do not speak to us so politely. Just tell us what you want. You are not only an elder of the Wilson family, but you are also our benefactor! The Wilson family will never dare to turn down any of your requests."

Kenneth glanced at Wendy before he said, "Since Wendy and I are also in agreement for this relationship that we share now, I believe that there is true love between the both of us regardless of the difference in our age. So, I hope that you will agree to let Wendy becmy lover. I promise that I will definitely help the Wilson family with all of my strength and I will never mistreat Wendy. I will love her and dote on he with all that I can!" 3

Even though Wendy was still somewhat resistant toward the old man, she had no resistance to his money at all. After receiving fivem million dollars from Kenneth as pocket money, she was naturally very happy to hear that Kenneth would like to keep her as his lover. As long as she held tightly onto Kenneth, she would not have to worry about anything in the future. She would have as much money and power as she wanted to! i Lady Wilson was also very excited when she heard Kenneth's words, and she agreed on the spot as she said, "Chairman Wilson, since both you and Wendy agree to this relationship, naturally, I will also raise my hands in favor of the both of you being together!" Christopher felt that it was somewhat difficult for him to accept this, but when he thought about the future of the Wilson family, he finally said, "Alright, then. The both of you can decide on this matter on your own. We have no opinion over this matter." However, Hannah was still a little dissatisfied and she said, "Chairman Wilson, I heard that you already have a family. Wendy is not even married yet. If word about your relationship spread out to the public, how is Wendy going to get married to anyone in the future?" 5 Kenneth replied immediately, "Don't worry. When the tis right, I will definitely make Wendy my wife!" The whole family was very excited when they heard this.

He was going to marry Wendy?! i Wouldn't the Wilson family be part of the public-listed group, then? This was simply amazing! To show his sincerity, Kenneth also said, "I believe that all of you know that I have a lot of businesses in Eastcliff, and I am also the chairman of the Eastcliff Chamber of Commerce. I will definitely try to help the Wilson family in every way that I can, and I will make sure that the Wilson family becomes the top and most powerful family in Aurous Hill!" The Wilson family was overjoyed by this! Ashburn Wendy began crying in front of her grandmother, her parents, and her brother, as she hugged Kenneth's waist.
