“Actually, Dad, he is a good man," Evelyn said firmly.

Carlos squinted at her.

“I know a good man when I see one, Evelyn. I don't need you to put in a good word for him."

Evelyn knew it was hard to reach a consensus with her father when it came to matters concerning Sheffield. She decided to end the discussion.

“I'm going to bed.”

“Okay, good night."

“Good night."

The next day, Sexton took action. Sheffield received a letter from

Sexton's Lawyer. Peterson got wind of it too.

In the CEO Office of Theo Group

Sheffield went through the letter. Sexton had demanded a public apology to Roscoe, and five million in compensation. Sheffield smirked at the demands and asked, “Mr. Sheffield, is Fitzgerald Group about to go bankrupt?"

The way Sheffield addressed him bugged Peterson. He gave his son a hard look.

"Fitzgerald Group? Bankrupt? You're pulling my leg. It's valued at more than 5@ billion, ranked among the top 300 companies in the country."

Hilton Group was first among those 300, of course. Theo Group used to be the second. But bad business decisions over the past two years had booted them out of the top 30.

"So if Fitzgerald Group is doing well, that means Sexton's just greedy!" Sheffield crumpled the Lawyer's letter into a ball and then threw it over the desk and into the waste basket.

At this time, Tobias called.

"Mr. Sheffield, Sexton's Lawyer wants to have a talk with you.”

“A Little busy now. Can't he talk to our legal department?" Sheffield hung up the phone after that.

Tobias was confused. Sheffield was being sued, and he had no Lawyer. He refused offers of representation. So who else should the lawyer talk with?

Peterson wasn't happy about how Sheffield was handling things. He announced harshly, “I think you're making a mistake."

And he knew it all was because of Evelyn. ‘Women are really trouble.‘

“I don't make mistakes," Sheffield disagreed in an arrogant tone, raising his eyebrows disapprovingly.

Peterson felt helpless. Sheffield had always been a hothead.

"I wouldn't blow him off. He has a lot of connections where it counts. He could make things difficult for Theo Group.“

“So what?" Sheffield retorted as he scribbled something on a file. But, shortly after, something occurred to him. He looked at the man on the sofa and asked, "Are you afraid of him?"
