Filled with jealousy, Sherilyn Gomez pushed her husband Gilbert Johnson’s beloved, who was pregnant at the time, down the stairs, resulting tragically in the loss of the baby.
The city buzzed with whispers about Sherilyn’s tyrannical and wicked nature. In retaliation for his lost love, Gilbert abandoned Sherilyn abroad, cutting off all contact and leaving her to survive on her own. Four years later, Sherilyn returned home. She and Gilbert shared a brief, reconciling smile and agreed to part ways as strangers from then on. When they met again, Sherilyn had become the top attraction in the dance halls, luring countless men who spent fortunes just for a chance to see her, yet they never succeeded. Gilbert grew restless. He confronted her and suggested, “Life’s hard, why not come back to me?” Sherilyn just smiled and coolly responded, “Mr. Johnson, looking for a date? Please take a number and wait in line. Thank you for your cooperation.”

“You’re really getting the hang of it.” Rebecca White said with a cheery smile, gently patting his chubby cheeks, “James, you’re so smart.
