Sheffield sat in front of Savannah and Dollie. Looking at the admiration in her sister's eyes, Savannah was sure of one thing.
It certainly looked like Evelyn and Dollie loved the same guy—Sheffield.
Dollie figured she'd get busted for her little lie about Sheffield being her boyfriend. But he was her ticket back to a rich life, so for her and her father's sake, she kept it up.
But Sheffield wasn't having any. He didn't want to talk to her at all. And he also wanted to destroy her. So letting Savannah talk to him was Dollie's best option. She was sure if Sheffield truly liked Evelyn, he would let the Xiang family go since Savannah, Evelyn's best friend, was a member of the family.
Sheffield didn't summon a waitress to get any drinks. The young doctor wanted to get straight to the point. "If I were you, Savannah, I wouldn't get involved. The Xiang family is a mess."
However, he was not Savannah.
She was soft-hearted. True, the Xiang family was super mean to her, and Sidell wasn't a good father, but she was still too kind to blow him off. Him or the Xiang family.
Before she could say anything to him, she was embarrassed by his words. "Mr. Tang, Sidell is my dad. I can't just watch you do this without saying anything."
Sheffield looked at her, expressionless. "I get it. But there's a saying: evil actions bring revenge. Heard that before?"
The man in front of her was different from the one she had met at Evelyn's birthday party. Last night, he was bubbly and cheerful, but the guy sitting opposite her was a stranger, cold and distant.
"I know my dad hurt you and you won't forgive him. That's why I brought Dollie along, so she could apologize on behalf of the family." She would do anything to make Sheffield drop the lawsuit.
Sheffield curled his lips, revealing a mocking smile. "Apologize? Do you think I'd actually accept their apology? Will an apology bring my mom back to life?"
"No, it's not like that..."
"Too little, too late, my dear! Don't waste my time!" His mom died
ip with Sheffield. She drove a wedge between us. And you are still protecting her! You're such a useless, ungrateful brat! So you lost the use of your legs. Big deal. You don't help me, I'll take your eyes and hands too!" Dollie said to her in a cold voice. She might not be able to stand up to Evelyn or Sheffield, but dealing with a disabled person was a piece of cake.
Savannah was aware Dollie was threatening her. Her disability made her easy to bully, so Dollie took advantage of that. But she had no choice. After all, Dollie was her sister. She had to go ask Evelyn for help.
Finally, she moved her lips and said, "I'll do it..."
It took her a long time to call Evelyn. She forced a smile and asked, "Hi, Evelyn, you busy now?"
"Yeah, a little. Why don't we meet around five o'clock?" Those two hadn't been able to talk to each other in a while. Savannah had been abroad, and Evelyn was eager to get together so they could catch up.
"Okay, then. I'll let you get back to it. See you later."
"Okay, bye!"
Sheffield had spent the whole day at the research lab. He knew Evelyn had no time to spare today, so he decided to burn the midnight oil in the lab.
When he went to get a glass of water, he saw several missed calls and tons of text messages, one of which read, "It's Matthew Huo."
'Matthew? My future brother-in-law!'
