Chapter 977 Take A Bet
"What''s your n?" Joshua propped up his chin with his hand.
Sheffield opened a bottle of red wine and poured it into a ss. "n? I''ve finished the research and
development."
"You know what I''m talking about already, don''t you?" Joshua narrowed his eyes at Sheffield. "It''s about
you and Evelyn. Are you just going to watch her get engaged?"
"What else can I do?" The doctor didn''t bother looking at him and drank a mouthful of wine. Even
though he had a smile on his face, his heart felt like someone had been torturing it without any way out.
He clearly knew how to mask emotions well.
"Hey, are you crazy?" Joshua''s face showed a hint of disbelief. "Did you confine yourself in theb for
so long that your brain turned into a dull matter? You''ve chased after Evelyn fiercely, and now she''s
getting engaged. How could you just sit back and watch her getting engaged?" Joshua could
understand how his father felt when the old man wasn''t satisfied with him.
Sheffield waved his hand and sipped in the wine again. "I won''t just sit back and watch her getting
engaged." He paused for a moment, and the corners of his lips curved up. "Don''t worry, I will go and
bless them." He walked over and sat down opposite Joshua.
Joshua stared at Sheffield for a long time. The boiling anger finally surged up in Joshua''s throat after
he was done with giving a speechless expression and red fiercely at Sheffield. "Do you really think
you are Evelyn''s toy boy? You don''t care at all?"
Sheffield was silently gazing at the wine for a moment before lifting his lips to form a nonchnt smile.
"It doesn''t matter. I''ll be d to be her toy boy."
Joshua''s face was red with anger. "You really want to piss me off!" He acted exactly the same as his
father did when the old man was angry with him.
"Fine, I''ll take the chance." Sheffield raised his eyebrows to gaze at a red-faced Joshua. With that, he
stood up and went to the study.
His actions were as if he had deliberately chosen this moment to throw tons of water over Joshua''s
boiling anger. "What are you going to do?"
"Bringing myptop to send an email to Evelyn''s dad."
"What email?" Joshua cast his confused eyes at Sheffield.
"I''m going to beg him to stop Evelyn''s marriage with another man!" Sheffield''s voice disappeared into
the study.
Joshua was not in the mood to y games anymore. He pressed his lips in a thin line and sent a
message to Terilynn. "Is Evelyn really going to get engaged to Calvert?"
Terilynn''s reply came in an instant. "How do you know?"
It seemed to be a fact. He was speechless for a moment after confirming the engagement.
Just as Joshua was about to send another message, Sheffield walked out of the study with hisptop.
He opened a folder and added an attachment to the email.
Joshua frowned and marched toward Sheffield to see what he was doing.
He fixed his eyes at the screen for a moment only to be covered with shock. "Oh my God! You''re simply
awesome! How did you get those videos and photos?"
Sheffield smiled and kept working on hisputer.
"But to be honest, Calvert is disgusting enough. How could he hug his nominal sister intimately like
that? And even kiss her affectionately? Doesn''t he care about the boundaries?"
Sheffield didn''t bother a reply as he simply typed in Carlos'' email address and clicked the send button.
He closed theptop and cast his confident gaze at Joshua. "I just want to take a bet."
Joshua stared at him for a long time, trying hard toprehend what he meant.
"I don''t believe Carlos Huo will insist on marrying his dear daughter to Calvert after seeing this email."
Realization dawned on Joshua''s face, and his eyes lit up in surprise. "So you are scheming against our
future father-inw?" Was Sheffield trying to force Carlos to get rid of Calvert?
"How can you call that scheming? I''m just being kind enough to let the Huo family know what Calvert
had done. Otherwise, Evelyn might suffer if she gets married to him."
"It sounds reasonable." Joshua sat back in satisfaction. "But aren''t you afraid that Carlos would ignore
the pictures you have sent formercial benefits?"
"No, he won''t." Sheffield was confident in this matter.
Joshua patted his friend on the shoulder. "Dude, don''t worry. I will support you whatever you do."
Sheffield stared at the nkptop screen for a moment. He really had no choice, and he loved Evelyn
so much and owed her a lot. Even if he couldn''t marry her, he still wouldn''t want her father to choose
that lecherous guy.
He thought of the dead innocent baby, and his face turned gloomy. Sheffield could never neglect its
existence.
Whether she needed him or not, he would still try his best to protect her for the rest of his life.
On the 20th day of the first lunar month, two pieces of news spread on the Inte at the same time in
Y City.
One of them was a matter that didn''t belong to the entertainment circle. "Evelyn Huo, the eldest
daughter of the CEO of the ZL Group, is engaged to Calvert Ji, the only son of the wealthy diamond
businessman."
Evelyn and Calvert''s engagement ceremony would begin at seven o''clock in the evening. The hotel
was first exposed to the public. The venue was luxurious, but only some of their family members were
invited to the ceremony.
The second piece of news was as hot as the first one. Still, many people kept on surfing the Inte,
and it slowly became breaking news that exploded shocking waves across the country. Everyone knew
the two instances were different, and none of them cared to put the two events together. They didn''t
know that the two main characters were already in love with each other.
The other one was news about medicine. "A bio-pharmaceuticalpany led by Sheffield Tang has
seeded in developing a new drug."
There were at least 20 million people in the world who had been suffering from Moss Syndrome. This
disease was terrible. The clinical symptoms were tinnitus, alopecia, intermittent mental disorders, renal
dysfunction, etc.
A new drug for the treatment of this disease—GT-6382—had passed the third clinical trial with sess
towing behind it. It had been developed by the joint efforts of Sheffield Tang, a doctor of the nephrology
department of Y City First General Hospital, and three graduate students of Y City Medical University.
The government had approved the production and testing of the new drug. They were already
monitoring the effects.
Sheffield''s name slowly became popr all across the world. The patients of Moss Syndrome were all
weeping with joy.
In theunch event, over a hundred media outlets were interviewing Sheffield. One of the reporters
gained his attention, and he cleared his throat before speaking. "Excuse me, Mr. Tang. Whichpany
will you choose to cooperate with for the first batch of the new drug?"
"ZL Group." Sheffield didn''t even pretend to think it over. On the morning of the first day of the Spring
Festival, he and Matthew didn''t just work in his study for a few hours for nothing. They had already
discussed the basic details of the coboration.
When the reporters heard the name "ZL Group" from Sheffield, they jumped in surprise. "Wow! It''s
really a strong ally!"
The crowd began to whisper to each other.
"Wow, Sheffield is such a promising young man. He won''t need to work anymore as money will roll in
every day! I really admire him!" "Exactly!
He will get a lot of awards in the medical field too."
After the production and sales of the new drug, Sheffield didn''t need to worry about money anymore.
Even if he just sat at home for the rest of his life and squandered money, he wouldn''t go broke.
Sheffield refused to answer any more questions and left.
Slowly, other achievements of Sheffield were also exposed. People across the city excitedly talked
about Sheffield Tang, the doctor of the nephrology department of Y City First General Hospital, and
spread his glories. He became the talk of the country in a matter of a few hours!
When Sheffield finally left the venue of theunch event, it was getting dark outside.
He nced at his watch. There was still an hour before her engagement ceremony. He had time to
take a shower and change clothes before attending the ceremony.
Sheffield sat back in his car and nced at the pink invitation card on the passenger seat. He took hold
of that small card and went through it again.
"Dear Mr. Tang, Mr. Calvert Ji and Miss Evelyn Huo will hold their engagement ceremony at 7 p.m., on
This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.
lunar January 20th, on the second floor of East City Hotel. Your presence is cordially requested."
When Sheffield left home that morning, Calvert had sent him the invitation card in person.
His face darkened after he read the contents, and he threw the invitation card back to the passenger
seat.
Calvert had put his own name ahead of Evelyn''s on the invitation card. If it was Sheffield in his ce,
he would have put Evelyn''s name in front of his. Was Calvert thinking of himself as a more important
person than Evelyn? ''Prince Ji? Humph! You''re just garbage in my eyes!'' He cursed the man in his
heart.
At around seven o''clock in the East City Hotel, people had already gathered.
Evelyn sat in the lounge, staring nkly at her phone.
She didn''t invite Sheffield to the engagement party because she thought there was no need. Evelyn
wasn''t happy at all. Why would she invite him to witness the moment that would make him even more
depressed? It would be like a p in his face. She couldn''t bear to see his expressions.
''Oh, I''m sorry, Sheffield.''
Evelyn''s lower lip quivered when she tried to control her tears. She wanted to talk to him, but she
seemed to have no idea what to do except saying sorry to Sheffield.
