Chapter 369
In the heat of the moment, with hair pulling and face scratching, the women’s fight was chaotic and fierce, aiming for nothing less than destruction.
Sherilyn watched in horror, feeling an urge to jump in and help.
“What are you doing?” Gilbert quickly grabbed her, disapproving. “This is her private matter. Are you sure she wants you involved?*
That made Sherilyn hesitate.
“Let het go!” In that moment of hesitation, a man burst out from the crowd. He grabbed Rebecca by the arm and yanked her away. His handsome face was a mix of anger and scorn. “Rebecca, have you lost all sense of decency? A shrew!”
Rebecca froze, eyes bloodshot and hair a mess, glaring at the man like a specter. “Eddy! How long will you keep this up?”
Pointing at the woman nearby, Rebecca accused, “Switching partners again? This one’s old enough to be your mother!”
“Excuse me?” The woman retorted, not taking kindly to the remark. Taking advantage of Eddy holding Rebecca back, she slapped Rebecca across the face. “Old? A mother? This slap will teach you to watch your mouth!”
The slap was strong enough to turn Rebecca’s face aside.
Eddy frowned, about to intervene, but Rebecca broke free and lunged at the woman. “Didn’t get enough the first time?”
Rebecca grabbed the woman by the hair.
The woman screamed for help. “Ah… Eddy!”
“Rebecca!” Eddy hurriedly tried to pull her back. “Stop it!”
The woman smirked in triumph. “Don’t you dare hit me?”
She looked down on Rebecca with contempt. “Tsk, tsk. You might be young, but what good does that do? If you can’t keep a man, it’s all for nothing…”
At this point, Sherilyn couldn’t stand by any longer and moved to intervene.
“Wait!” Gilbert grabbed her again.
“Let go!” This time, Sherilyn was furious. “Don’t you see? They’re ganging up on Rebecca!”
“Ganging up?” Gilbert smirked knowingly, nodding toward the man. “His name’s Eddy.”
“Huh?” Sherilyn paused, confused. “You know him?”
“Sort of. Not personally.” Gilbert explained, “Had some dealings with the Jones family. This Eddy, he’s married.”

Chapter 369
Gilbert had even attended the wedding, but he never paid much attention to those he deemed unimportant. He couldn’t recall what Mrs. Jones looked like.
Sherilyn was stunned. Eddy was married? That meant Rebecca was…
Gilbert disdained, “Eddy’s personal life… let’s just say it’s not very commendable.”
Despite being married, Eddy never cared for his wife, indulging in affairs without discretion, a well–known fact in their circles.
Gilbert sighed softly, “Does your friend know Eddy’s married? If she does and still entangles herself with him, pardon my bluntness, but she’s asking for trouble.”
That was a lot for Sherilyn to process. But she couldn’t think about that at the moment. She had to deal with the situation at hand!
Looking around, she spotted a small flowerbed by the entrance of Soup Journey encircled by blue stones. Sherilyn walked over, picked up a stone, and headed for Rebecca.
“Sherilyn!” Gilbert was startled, vividly remembering when Sherilyn used a brick to defend herself against a thug, even landing in the police station for it!
Without a second thought, he followed her.
‘Boom‘! Arriving at the scene, Sherilyn raised her arm and struck the doorpost forcefully, shouting, “Stop it!”
The loud noise made everyone freeze and look her way.
Rebecca gasped, her eyes welling up even more. “Sherilyn…”

Eddy turned to Rebecca, “Your friend?”
