The old man is giving the betrothal present out of his goodwill. And I have already decided to give the Hilton family another betrothal present from my side. Sandra, if you are uncomfortable with this decision, why don't you file a divorce and marry a rich man instead?

Maybe his family could give you better betrothal gifts."

The table was silent. Sheffield was always so blunt with all of them.

He didn't care about their feelings. Sandra's husband was sitting right next to her, and yet he had no qualms in asking her to get a divorce and marry someone else.

Sandra's face darkened with anger. She lost her appetite as she yelled,

“You are pushing it too far, Sheffield! Who do you think you are? Are you aiming to be the next boss of the Thompson family after Dad? Don't forget that he has other sons and daughters. You are not even qualified to be the head of this family!"

Sheffield scoffed in disgust, "Is that so? I hope you still remember that the main income of the Thompson family depends on Theo Group. Now that I have taken over the company, it is up to me to decide who gets how much from the profits. Since you are already married, you have no right to spend a penny earned by the Thompson family. Just as how after

I marry Evelyn, I won't let her spend a penny of the Hilton family. It is the duty of the husband to take care of his wife." Just like that

Sheffield cut off Sandra and her husband from the family money.

Sandra was about to explode. The money for her monthly expenses came from the Thompson family. Her salary could never cover her expenses.

“You bastard!" she yelled.

"Sandra!" Peterson, who had been silent all this while, interrupted her.

“Dad, he has gone too far! Did he even ask your opinion before cutting me off? This man is arrogant and Lawless!" Sandra was filled with so much anger and disgust that her face became distorted.

Peterson looked at Sheffield's calm face and finally said, “As you said, I will give you fifteen percent of the shares. But on one condition.”

The father and son duo looked at each other. This time, Sheffield did not say anything. He knew what Peterson was going to say.

The reason why many people in the city did not know his identity all these years was that his name had been deleted from the Thompson family's residence booklet after he was cut off by Peterson.

A faint smile appeared on Sheffield's lips and he stood from his seat.

“Let me think about it."

With those words, he turned around and walked towards the front door.

Peterson caught up with him.

"Sheffield!"

Sheffield turned around and showed the cigarette in his hand.

"I'm going out for a smoke. You want to join?"

“Okay." They walked out of the house together.
