“Evelyn, please. Let's talk this out! Evelyn?" Liam cried, trying to catch up to Evelyn.
As she walked out of the room, Liam tried to negotiate.
“Evelyn, the contract is about to be signed. Why would you withdraw the capital at the Last moment?"
"Evelyn!" Sterling dashed out in fury.
Evelyn continued to walk away without turning back. When Felix realized that Sterling's hostility was aimed at Evelyn, he immediately came in between them and said, "Mr. Sterling, please stay away from"
“Save it! Stop right there, woman! Who do you think you are to make any decision for Hilton Group? Don't forget that the real boss of Hilton
Group is Carlos! You are just a woman. You know nothing about business!
You decide not to work with me just because of personal reasons? How ignorant are you? Do you know how many people will lose their jobs because of this?"
Evelyn stopped and Looked coldly at the man behind her.
"Yes, Carlos is the real boss of Hilton Group. But you are forgetting that he is my father. Whom do you think my father will listen to-you, a nobody, or his daughter?"
Sterling's face turned red in embarrassment and anger. He yelled at her, “You're going too far! You took advantage of your family status to bully Dollie, and now, you are bullying the Thompson family. You really are birds of a feather-you and Sheffield!"
As if Sheffield looking down upon him wasn't enough, now even his wife was undermining him. He couldn't hold his anger in anymore.
Evelyn, on the other hand, was rather calm.
"Yes, I am bullying you. So what? If you are a capable man, you should establish your own company.
Defeat Hilton Group and Theo Group, and then take turns to bully me and
Sheffield. But the question is—are you capable of that? Business is a world of power, Mr. Sterling. If you don't do well, then you will be bullied by those who are in power."
“Fuck! How dare you! A mere woman! How dare you lecture me!" Driven by his reflex, Sterling raised his hand in an attempt to slap her. But
Felix was ready. He grabbed Sterling's wrist tightly and kept him in place.
"Argh!" he cried in pain.
"Let me go!" Under Felix's more violent threat, Sterling had no other choice but to beg for mercy.
Without another word, Evelyn walked away from the scene.
Around 11 p.m., Sheffield returned to the Hilton family manor.
He slowly pushed open the door to Evelyn's bedroom. She had already taken her bath and was wearing a lace nightgown. She was leaning against the headboard, reading a book.
Gwyn was sleeping with Debbie that night, so Evelyn was alone in the room.
Even though she heard the door, Evelyn didn't take her eyes off the book. The smile on Sheffield's face froze. He knew that he was a dead man. His wife was angry.
