"No, it's not Like that, Dad. That other woman, he doesn't care about her the same way he does me." Evelyn thought it was a good time to explain everything to Carlos.

“Humph!" Carlos snorted and for the first time he scolded Evelyn in a harsh tone.

“Since when did you become so stupid? That woman is pregnant. It's his kid! Did he even tell you about it?"

‘Dollie is pregnant?’ Evelyn looked at Carlos in stunned disbelief.

“That's impossible!"

Carlos slammed his palm on the table and yelled, "I've already seen the pregnancy test. What more proof do you need?"

“There must be some mistake." She trusted Sheffield. There was no way that he would have sex with Dollie.

“What mistake? Do you know why he's with you? I heard him say his research team was short of money and he needed some cash. And he told

Dollie he was using you." And it wasn't like Carlos had gone out of his way to find out. He was playing a few rounds of golf, and had retired to the locker room. Sheffield and Joshua were in there, and the young doctor was explaining to his friend that the research fund was nearly gone.

As for using Evelyn, that was what Dollie told him. She swore Sheffield told her personally that he was only using Carlos’ daughter.

“He's not broke. He bought me valuable jewelry once. I offered him money, and he turned me down. Over a hundred million! He turned it down, Dad!" Dollie had also told Evelyn straight up Sheffield was only using her, but she didn't believe it.

Carlos was furious.

"That's only because he wanted more! Can't you see?

He is not as simple as he pretends to be. I have investigated him. His parents were pretty well-off, had some business connections. Then they died in a car accident. But they weren't his real family. The man who died in that accident was Beric Thompson. He had a kid, but it wasn't him. You've been together so long. Did he ever tell you who he really was?"

Carlos, for all his resources, couldn't find out who Sheffield was. He could only get so far in the background check, and there were some pieces of information that he couldn't get at. And if Carlos couldn't figure it out, then the young doctor must be hiding something. At least, that was what the elder thought.

It was dangerous for Evelyn to stay with someone Like him. He would rather Let Evelyn marry a poor boy with an obvious background, or a stubborn man Like Calvert. At least he knew who they were. He could also dig up what he didn't know about them.

But Sheffield was different. His family background was fake. Even

Carlos couldn't find out anything about him, because he had hidden his identity too well.

Evelyn stood there in shock. It was true. There was more to Sheffield than met the eye. She'd seen that. Fighter, doctor, race car driver.

What else was he hiding from her? After a long while, she answered timidly, “He said his mother was a doctor of neurology. She was framed and imprisoned for dealing in counterfeit drugs. She died when he was young." As for his father, Sheffield never talked much about him, and she didn't ask him either.

Carlos sneered, "Are you sure he was telling the truth? Did you look into it? You just took his word for it? God, you're naive! If you asked him outright, he'd make up another story to make you feel better. He'll just Lie to you. What's the point?"

Evelyn was struck speechless

It was dead silent in the living room. After a long while, Terilynn, who stood on the steps, finally spoke.

"Dad! It's Late and Evelyn has been working all day. Why don't you sleep on it?”

Carlos heaved a sigh and stood up from the chair. He pulled Evelyn into his arms and consoled her lovingly, "There, there, it's not too late.
