True Love Waits novel Chapter 1024

That shut Sexton up. Carlos' words did make sense.

Sheffield and Evelyn came from families of equal social status. He was competitive and smart, and she was attractive and brilliant. They made quite a couple.

Carlos left the building and got into his car. Debbie asked anxiously, "How did it go?"

"Are you done shopping?" he asked instead.

"Yes. I wanted to come upstairs to look for you, but I was afraid to interrupt." She and Carlos had left the manor together. While Carlos met with Sexton, she had gone shopping to keep herself busy in the meantime.

As Debbie stared at him, still waiting for an answer, Carlos finally replied, "What do you think? You asked me to handle it. How could I face you if I didn't do well?" He snorted.

Debbie had been extremely anxious ever since she had found out that Sheffield was being sued, especially after realizing that he had acted in defiance for Evelyn's sake.

Carlos couldn't bear to see her gloomy face all day. She had finally felt relieved after he agreed to help Sheffield make the problem go away.

Debbie's eyes brightened. "Sexton agreed to drop the lawsuit?"

"Yes."

She was thrilled! She grabbed his hand and urged, "Call Evelyn! Tell her the good news."

"No way!" Carlos refused arrogantly.

"Fine. I'll tell her myself." Debbie was just glad that the matter had been settled.

After a few minutes, Carlos said thoughtfully, "Sexton is the type of man who holds onto his grudges. It's true that he promised to withdraw the lawsuit, but I'm not sure whether he plans to leave Sheffield alone. He might deal with the brat in some other way."

"Oh! What should we do?"

"'We?' We are not gonna do anything. It's Sheffield's problem. What do I care? I am not the one Sexton hates."

Debbie rolled her eyes and snapped, "All right, let's play it by the ear. If Sheffield needs your help, we can talk about it then."

"No! There will be no more talking." Carlos didn't want anything to do with Sheffield after this. He had only helped him this time to make Debbie happy.

"Fine, then I'll help him!"

Carlos was enraged. He didn't understand why Sheffield was so important to his wife. First, Evelyn had fallen in love with that man and had fought against her own father to be with him, and now, his wife was threatening him to help Sheffield. Carlos couldn't fathom why she was so protective of him. Two of the most important women in Carlos' life were on Sheffield's side now. At this point, Carlos really wanted to kill the guy. Well, before he did that, he needed to make sure that the news of his death wouldn't break his wife and daughter's hearts. He was frustrated to no end.

On his way back home after the meeting with Sexton, Peterson received a call from Tobias. "Mr. Tang, I've sent an interview video to your phone."

Peterson hung up and played the video in which Sheffield was answering the press' questions.

It had aired only a few moments ago.

The first few questions were about his work as the CEO. Sheffield answered them promptly, considering the overall interests of the group and made sure not to offend anyone in the process.

The later questions were about his personal life. One of the reporters asked, "Mr. Tang, you are now a hot topic on the Internet and have a lot of fans who care about you. Would you mind if I asked a few questions outside your work?"

"Please, go ahead," Sheffield agreed.

"All right. Mr. Tang, do you have a girlfriend?"

"I do, and we love each other a lot," he said with a gentle smile.
