"Yes. Since she couldn't control herself, I thought I should teach her a lesson."

"Yes, if she does that again, just tell me and I'll set her right."

“That's my baby. What did you have in mind?" Sheffield asked curiously.

“I don't know. Hadn't thought that far ahead. I'm not that mean. Maybe

I'll stick her hands together with some super glue, and then prick her fingertips with needles, just like in the historical dramas." Evelyn never thought she was a kind-hearted girl, but after she said those words, she realized that she could be pretty evil too.

Sheffield laughed.

“Listen to you! No wonder I love you!" He touched her head affectionately.

"You have to be mean to the people who hurt you! Or your enemies will think that you're weak and they'll bully you more."

"Uh huh," she agreed. Gillian was a good example. If Evelyn had let the woman know how cruel she was at the start, Gillian wouldn't have gone off on her. Maybe she'd even still be employed.

They drove straight to the Hilton manor. They thought Evelyn would be able to get a decent night's sleep and Sheffield would take Gwyn out to have some fun.

Later that day, the media was all abuzz about the divorce of Sterling and Kaylee. Sterling had paid off the media. They blamed it all on

Kaylee. Said that she was the reason they were splitting up. She had affairs with several men at the same time, and there were photos of different men going in and out of her hotel room.

A lot of media outlets reposted the news online, and opinion pieces did a hatchet job on the poor woman. Sterling was just a victim with an unfaithful wife.

It was a huge scandal involving the Thompson family, and reporters slammed the Theo Group's phone lines. They wanted to talk to Peterson and find out whether it was true.

Of course, Peterson knew what was going on between Sterling and Kaylee.

He'd known for a long time. He also knew who was in the wrong. But he didn't say anything to the press, nor did he give an explanation to the public.

Peterson just didn't care about Sterling.

The next day after the wedding, Sheffield and Evelyn embarked on their honeymoon. The newlyweds’ first stop was Paris.

After they spent a wonderful evening gazing at the city skyline from the top of the Eiffel Tower, Sheffield took Evelyn to ride on a merry-go-round at the famous Carousel of the Eiffel Tower just around the corner.

As the brightly painted wooden horses spun to the cheerful music playing in the background, Evelyn shot a sideways glance at Sheffield, who had been smiling at her the whole time.

“Why did you bring me here?

Gwyn isn't here," she asked.

“I want to take you for a ride," he said frankly.

This idea took form inside his head when he took Gwyn out on a merry-go-round for the very first time. The fact that it ended up happening so soon was merely coincidental.

“I am not getting up on that!" Evelyn refused bluntly.
