Sheffield burst into laughter and Evelyn scoffed at her pathetic attempt. He countered sarcastically, "I don't even accept your sister as my stepmother. You think I give a damn about you?"

The two women were embarrassed by his words, and Lea's face froze. She held the irritated Gillian's hand and said, “Sheffield, it's not right to say such things. We're your family now. Gillian and I just wanted to say hi. We didn‘t mean for all this to happen. Evelyn, don't fire

Gillian. She loves this job and works hard too. I don't think Hilton

Group would want to Lose an honest employee. Am I right?"

Evelyn wasn't convinced.

"We do cherish talented people. But I won't allow someone so unethical to work for me."

Clasping Gillian's hand tightly, Lea continued with a forced smile,

“Evelyn, don't forget that we're Sheffield's family. If I were you, I wouldn't go against the Thompson family before I married into the family."

Evelyn understood that Lea was implying that if she was smart enough, she wouldn't make enemies with the sisters before she married

Sheffield.

‘Is this woman threatening me?' She smirked at their audacity. A cold aura emanated from Evelyn.

“If I don't get to marry Sheffield because of Gillian.. She shifted her sharp gaze to Gillian and continued coldly, "...I will make sure that she never gets married either."

Sheffield let go of Evelyn's hand and applauded with all his heart, ignoring the color draining from the sisters’ faces

He used to think that Evelyn was just an aloof woman, but he just realized that she was a badass CEO. She spoke her mind and stood by her words, no matter who the opposition was. She was not afraid of threats, and didn't think twice about throwing threats right back at whoever dared to cross her. She had enough money and more than capable bodyguards. And well, she had Carlos. No one could touch her. Evelyn could bring anyone to their knees if she so wished.

She cast a cold glance at Sheffield, who was still applauding and laughing. She had to deal with these two women because of him. And here he was, having fun watching the show! "Sheffield! Tell me what you really think about this," she demanded.

He pulled her into his arms and kissed her on the lips as the two women watched scornfully.

“What I really think? Isn't that obvious?"

“Answer me. You have too many flies around you. I'm tired of dealing with them." First it was Dollie, and now Gillian.

“Whom are you calling a fly?" Gillian asked angrily.

Turning to her, Evelyn said, “I'm talking about you, Gillian. You are the one following Sheffield around like a fly. What? You have a problem with me? Then quit the job and leave."

Gillian was going nuts.

“Shut up! Don't you dare threaten me! I have never seen such an arrogant woman in my life! You are an eyesore!" She rushed forward and raised her hand to slap Evelyn.

Sheffield stepped in to grab her wrist and shoved her down

Lea exclaimed in shock and attempted to catch Gillian. But he was strong, and she had to watch her sister fall to the ground.

Ignoring the embarrassed and hurt look on Gillian's face, Sheffield stood in front of Evelyn. He said in a cold tone, “Now you are just asking for it, Gillian. How dare you raise your hand against my woman?
