'I was nervous because you scared me, ' Evelyn thought. But she didn't want to risk being at the receiving end of Carlos' wrath, so she kept that part to herself. "It's just a minor issue. I'll come home to take care of Gwyn after I deal with this."
"No need for that. Do what you've got to do. Your mom and I want to spend more time with Gwyn." Carlos knew that Gwyn would eventually be taken away from him to the Tang family. So, while he still could, he wanted to spend more time with his granddaughter.
Despite his stubbornness, Evelyn knew that her father had accepted Sheffield. He wanted them to get along with each other.
He didn't hate Sheffield much now. Debbie had told her that it was Carlos who had taken care of the matter with Sexton. He had also told Debbie to ask her to remind Sheffield to be careful, because Sexton was likely to seek vengeance by mixing up personal affairs and business.
Evelyn was moved to tears when Debbie had told her. "Thank you, Dad," she said warmly.
Carlos flashed a smile, but his tone stubbornly showed a trace of annoyance. "Don't thank me yet. I'll give you six months. If that brat doesn't marry you by the end of this year, I swear I won't give him another chance!"
"Okay, Dad!" She had to work hard for her own happiness, so that her parents could stop worrying about her.
If Sheffield was still unwilling to yield, then she would have to change her strategy.
Debbie was standing next to Carlos with Gwyn in her arms. After he hung up, she asked anxiously, "How did you know that Evelyn was going to see Sheffield?"
"I know my daughter better than anyone," Carlos said with an unfathomable look on his face.
Debbie sighed. "Do you think it was Sheffield who had made that love declaration on the screen of Theo Group's building?" Even Miranda, who had moved to Germany, had heard about the public love declaration. So, of course, Debbie would know too.
"Who else could be so ostentatious?" Carlos scoffed.
Debbie disagreed, "How is it ostentatious? He is romantic and is an emotionally available man. It's a rare sight these days. You should learn from him. I had suffered so much because of y
will take it for three million!" the head haggled. Sheffield was a rising powerful man in Y City and the hottest topic of conversation these days. The head of the media company felt that it was worth it to pay three million for a piece of sensational news about him.
Yet Sheffield was frustrated. 'News about me is worth only three million?' That was not good enough for him. "It concerns Evelyn Huo as well. Five million. If you are not willing, I'll find someone else."
"Deal! Shall we talk face to face?"
"No need. I prefer to do the transaction online," Sheffield told him. There was a special transaction platform for the media and the informants to make such deals.
"Okay."
"Good. Have someone wait at the entrance of ZL Group's office to follow Evelyn's car. You'll see."
The head sent him a furious emoji. "Are you kidding me? She has bodyguards. What if Carlos Huo finds out someone is tailing his daughter? We will be done for!"
"Fine, then follow Sheffield Tang. Now!"
"Got it!"
After waiting for a few minutes, Sheffield started the car.
As soon as he left the parking lot, a low-key domestic car caught up with him from behind.
He grinned and thought, 'The man in charge is efficient. I like it.'
Sheffield knew that the journalist wouldn't be able to enter his community. So, he told the security guard at the gate in advance, "My friend's car is right behind mine. Let him in."
"Okay, Mr. Tang."
