"Why should I? I'm an adult, and I want to marry Sheffield." ‘What's the matter with Dad today? I thought he was fine with Sheffield. Did something happen?’ she thought to herself.

“Humph! We have rules in this family! So Sheffield has taught you defiance. Last chance: it's either him or me! Choose wisely."

‘What? What's wrong with him?' Evelyn was speechless. Her dad was becoming more and more unreasonable. She took a deep breath and calmly answered, “Dad, we've been separated for two years. I don't want to waste any more time. I'm going to marry him no matter what!"

“And if I disown you, what then? Do you want it that bad?" he asked.

*Disown me?’ Evelyn was stunned.

“Dad, you... Are you serious?"

“Have you known me to make jokes like that? I don't object to your marriage with Sheffield, but you are no longer my daughter!"

Meanwhile, in the Thompson family's house

Sheffield struck the desk in front of Peterson with his palm and asked with a frown, “You didn't have a problem before, did you? Why are you doing this? Why now, when she accepted my proposal?"

Peterson's heart skipped a beat, but he managed to keep calm on the surface. He looked at Sheffield's hand and felt pain for him.

"Why am I doing this? You two aren't meant for each other. If you insist on marrying her, you have to give up Theo Group!" he threatened.

“Theo Group? Think I care? Let me make it clear to you, Peterson. Ten

Theo Groups are not as important as Evelyn is to me."

Peterson felt rather angry; he couldn't believe his son didn't give a damn about their family business. He slapped him on the shoulder and shouted, "How dare you! How dare you say my name!"

“So what? Whatever. Don't bother with the bride price. I have money.

I'LL support Evelyn myself." Then he turned and left the study.

Bang! Sheffield slammed the door shut with all his might. Peterson shuddered again. His son was so arrogant that he might have to re-think his plan. He wondered if he should let Carlos know.

On the first floor

Sheffield strode to the door with a long face. There were quite a few people sitting in the living room. They had just finished dinner.

Spotting Sheffield, Kaylee smiled, "Hey, Sheffield, you Leaving?"

Sheffield squinted at the people in the Living room. Suddenly an idea occurred to him. Since he was having a hard time because of what happened just now, he wouldn't leave these guys in a good mood. With an evil smile on his face, he decided to start with Kaylee and said, "Hey,

Kaylee. I know something you don't. Your husband's mistress is from the

Todd family."

The woman he was talking about was Dollie. Now she was a mistress of

Sheffield's brother.
