Joshua replied with a smile. He and Sheffield were even closer than biological brothers.

If he betrayed their friendship, Sheffield wouldn't be happy. He wouldn't be happy, either.

“It's okay. I won't force you." Carlos calmly took out his phone and made it obvious he was dialing a number.

"Get rid of Sheffield. Make sure it looks Like Joshua did it."

Joshua wanted to remain calm, but he knew Carlos was ruthless and capable of doing exactly that.

For the next few minutes, he was on pins and needles. His mobile phone rang, interrupting his thoughts. Carlos didn't stop him from answering.

He was pretty sure he knew who was calling.

As soon as Joshua slid the answer key, Sheffield's voice came from the other end of the Line.

“Hey, you okay?

"Have you left yet?"

"Yeah. Your assistant said something happened to you. So I'm on my way downstairs!"

“No! Listen to me: go back to your apartment!" Joshua warned. He lowered his voice and tried to prevent Carlos overhearing. Beads of sweat formed on his forehead.

“It doesn't matter. He'll have to come out of his apartment sometime.

If not today, then tomorrow," Carlos said.

Upon hearing this, Joshua got angry. He hung up the phone and looked at

Carlos. He balled his fists.

"What the hell do you want, old man?"

“I want you to get engaged to Evelyn." Joshua was Sheffield's best friend. It had to be him.

"I'm done playing games with you. I won't do it. I'll let Sheffield know, while I'm at it. You might want to think twice about who you send to deal with him. Peace out." He stood up from his seat and was going to find Sheffield.

“What if I tell him that something has happened to you and Evelyn?"

“Isn't that underhanded? Even for you?" Joshua turned to face Carlos, with anger in his eyes.

Looking at a spot not far away, Carlos answered casually, "I'm willing to do whatever it takes. Whatever I have to, for Evelyn."

While walking towards the door, Joshua added, “You have my answer. I won't betray my best friend. Please excuse me, Mr. Carlos. Goodbye!"

However, before he could get out of the room, a bodyguard stepped in his way.

Too Late for him to say anything. The bodyguard took out a handkerchief and pressed it to Joshua's face. The young man struggled but was eventually overtaken by vertigo. At Last, he fell unconscious.
