NovelEnglishAmong the Tang family members, Sandra was the first to contact Evelyn to snitch on Sheffield. After talking to her casually for a while, Sandra said, "I heard that Sheffield attended a party recently. Did you know that he was accompanied by several women? Evelyn, I should remind you this—men always chase after other beautiful women. You should be more careful."
'Ah, so that's what this is about, ' Evelyn thought, rolling her eyes. "Thank you for your concern, Sandra. But I don't believe that Sheffield would betray me. He is not like other men."
"That's where you are wrong! Sheffield is faithless and unreliable, just like all other men. He used to hang around with a lot of pretty girls. Didn't you know?"
"I'm aware. But that was in the past. Let bygones be bygones," Evelyn said calmly.

Evelyn wasn't in the mood to hear Sandra trying to sow discord between her and Sheffield, so she interrupted, "I have something to deal with at work. We can talk when we meet next time." Ignoring Sandra's protests, she hung up the phone and blacklisted her number soon after.
That was just the beginning. One after the other, the Tang family members began to follow suit.
Two days later, Evelyn and Daphne, Pierson's wife, "ran into each other" near ZL Group, and Daphne invited Evelyn for coffee.
They went to a nearby cafe and chatted for a while. After a few minutes, Daphne slid slowly into talks about Sheffield. "I don't know how to tell you this, Evelyn, but I saw Sheffield at a dinner party with a young model. Did you hear about this?" she asked, faking concern.
'Here we go again…' Evelyn replied with a calm smile, "I did not. But it's pretty normal to have someone to keep him company when he goes for a social engagement."
Daphne observed her expression, but didn't find anything different. She was disappointed; she had thought that Evelyn would fly into a rage. "The model is hardly twenty-one years old, and she is delicate and good at acting coquettishly. Men like Sheffield are attracted to young women. Evelyn, you should keep an eye on him."
"Thank you, Daphne, but I know Sheffield all too well. He has no interest in such women." Sheffield was like a teenager himself.
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 Huo is the real boss of ZL 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?"

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 ZL 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. Tang. 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.
