Chapter 941 Chaos
"So what are you going to do now?" Joshua asked, wondering why it was so difficult for him to figure
out what Sheffield was thinking.
"First of all, I need to apologize to Evelyn!" That was Sheffield''s number-one priority right now.
Joshua, however, couldn''t understand why Sheffield would apologize to Evelyn. After all, she was the
one who stood him up. "I''m not kidding. Before you say anything to Evelyn, just hear her out first,"
Joshua insisted.
Sheffield smiled and reassured him, "Don''t worry. I''m not going to argue with her. I love her too much
for that. She said there was something wrong with the new productunch. I''m just driving her home
right now."
"You must be under some sort of magic spell to love her like this, Mr. Tang," Joshua added.
"Maybe! But I willingly subject myself to her spell."
"Yeah, yeah. Now you''re just showing off!" Joshua wanted to lighten the atmosphere, at least to make
Sheffield happier.
"You''re right, maybe just a little. But, hey Mr. Single, it''s not like you have anything better to do than to
listen to me brag about my love life!"
Joshua feigned annoyance. "Damn it! I''m single and I''m happy!"
"Fine. Go ahead enjoy your single life. I''m going to pick up my girl."
"Get outta here!"
Sheffield hung up the phone and pulled out the location of where the new productunch event was
taking ce. After securing his luggage, he drove straight to his next destination.
On the way, Sheffield wondered if he would be disappointed in Evelyn, especially after what had
happened today, if he had no idea of her previous pregnancy.
However, there were no ifs or buts about it.
Sheffield had no right to me Evelyn for what had happened today. After all, the pregnancy had put
Evelyn''s life at risk.
No matter what Evelyn had done, she was absolved of any kind of me or ountability, at least in
this case.
At ZL Group''s subsidiary
When Evelyn arrived at the venue and stood in front of everybody, all the reporters swarmed out of
their seats in excited unison.
N?velDrama.Org exclusive content.
At the end of the day, the person standing before them was Evelyn Huo, daughter of the CEO of ZL
Group and the most influential female executive in Y City.
All of a sudden, hyperactive cameras and shing lights aplenty gave the impression that this was all
very exciting.
Much to everyone''s surprise, as soon as Evelyn finished her speech, an angry mob barged into the
venue. Among them were almost a dozen well-built men, each with tattoos all over their bodies, who
rushed towards Evelyn aggressively. So much so that even Evelyn''s bodyguards couldn''t stop them.
Right behind the tattooed men were a group of angry women, carrying stic bags in one hand and
shouting like shrews, regardless of the media''s presence. "Are you the CEO of Trend Company?"
Trend Company was a subsidiary of the ZL Group. A real estatepany that belonged to Evelyn.
Wearing an unchanged expression, Evelyn nodded and answered, "Yes, I am."
"It''s her! Throw!"
Before Evelyn knew it, the women took out eggs from their bags and started throwing them at Evelyn.
"Blood-suckingpany! Give us our homes back!"
"You took our homes! You greedy, heartless bitch!"
"Evelyn Huo, we demand a public exnation from you today!"
Evelyn was taken by surprise by the time she noticed the eggs. As a result, one of the eggs hit her in
the forehead and the liquified egg yolk ran down her cheeks.
In the blink of an eye, the entire venue fell into chaos.
Tayson rushed to the stage and stood in front of Evelyn. "Stop!" he shouted at the crowd. "Call security!
Take these people out!"
Soon after, a group of security guards came in and caught the women who were about to throw more
eggs at Evelyn.
However, the security guards failed to contain the mountain-shaped tattooed men, who ran towards the
stage. "Don''t try to stop us. Evelyn Huo, you''vee from a ruthless and merciless n. You took our
homes and now we have nowhere to go. We want an exnation from you today!"
Eventually, more security guards came in and managed to contain the situation before things got out of
hand again.
Nadia took out a wet tissue, wiped Evelyn''s face clean with it and straightened her clothes.
Evelyn, however, wasn''t angry at all. While tidying herself, she ordered Nadia, "Please go and find out
what happened. Ask the general manager of Trend Company toe and see me now."
"Yes, Miss Huo." Nadia immediately started making phone calls.
Although the chaos had been contained, there was still public unrest at the venue. Evelyn stood in front
of the microphone again and said, "Everyone, please be quiet!"
Instantly, the ce fell silent. "I''m sorry, but we''re at theunch event of ourpany..."
Before Evelyn could finish, a disgruntled woman interrupted her. "So what? We wouldn''t have found
you if it weren''t for this event! People like you like to hide and enjoy yourselves, but what did we ever
do to deserve getting kicked out of our own houses like street rats? Why?"
"Yes, why?"
Amidst theirints, Evelyn responded in neither a humble nor a pushy tone. "I''ve asked my
assistant to investigate the matter. Please go to the 22nd floor and help yourselves with a cup of tea. I
promise to get back to you once I have more information on the matter."
"No, we''ll stay right here! We won''t leave and you can''t go anywhere either!"
"Yes! We have tried to reason with yourpany, but you just keep ignoring us! We are not leaving!"
Looking at the security guards, Evelyn said, "Let go of them. Everybody, please sit down. I''ll be here
waiting for news from the person in charge."
Her reaction and calmness astonished everyone.
The security guards released those they had detained earlier. The protestors had no intention of giving
up, but when they saw Evelyn standing on stage and showing no intention of leaving, they all sat down
one by one.
Theunch event was being broadcast live, and as such, the incident was viewed by almost everyone
online. The conflict had be a hot topic for discussion online. The words "ZL Group''s new product
million.
The number of searches online under Evelyn Huo, the trustworthy CEO of Trend Company soared
through the roof. As graceful as a queen, Evelyn showed neither anger nor embarrassment in the
difficult situation. Netizens were amazed by herposed disposition and elegance. She had be
their goddess.
The live broadcast was still on-going. As a matter of fact, Nadia was the one who had arranged for the
security guards to get the media journalists out of there. However, Evelyn stopped her. The viewers
had only seen the beginning of the story. If they were to stop the broadcast now, it would look like their
Evelyn wanted everybody to see the whole truth. And if herpany was in the wrong, she would set
things right and hold the person in charge responsible.
Five minutester, Nadia hurried inside with her phone in her hand. She briefly told Evelyn about what
had happened.
It turned out thatst year Trend Company had begun demolishing clusters of dpidated housings in
the city. When the people involved in the affair knew that it was rted to the ZL Group, they began
asking for exorbitant prices.
