Chapter 985 Peterson''s Son


    The neers in Y City had only heard of Evelyn''s name and had never seen her before. When they


    saw her, they marveled at her beauty. Some young men even wanted to approach her. However, they


    were blocked by her bodyguard, Felix.


    It had been half an hour since Evelyn had entered the venue. She chatted with the host for a while


    before staying at a table near the window, so she could look out and enjoy the view. Her mind went


    from work to Gwyn and so many other things.


    "Hey! Evelyn!" She heard a familiar male voice.


    She turned around only to find Joshua standing a few meters away as he was blocked by Felix. He


    wore a white suit and was holding a ss of champagne in his hand.


    Evelyn nodded at Felix, who then stepped aside. Joshua walked up to her and sat down in front of her.


    "Evelyn, you have such a diligent bodyguard."


    Evelyn felt quite helpless as Felix was so protective. The Huo family had a lot of enemies who were


    always after them. It was better to be safe than sorry. "My father''s just worried about me," she said


    apologetically.


    Joshua nodded with an understanding smile. "I understand. By the way, I haven''t seen you much in the


    past two years that even Joshua had barely seen her. In fact, in the previous year, he hadn''t seen her


    at all.


    He''d already asked Terilynn about it, but she always responded with the same thing. "I can''t say


    anything. My father won''t let me."


    Evelyn smiled. "Nothing much."


    Although she was smiling, Joshua could tell that she didn''t want to talk about this. He immediately


    changed the topic and looked at her mysteriously. "Do you know who''s going to take over the Theo


    Group?"


    Evelyn shook her head honestly. She had heard a lot of rumors before. When she saw Joshua''s


    mysterious smile, she asked with astonishment, "Are you suggesting that Mr. Tang''s one-year-old son


    is going to take over the group?"


    It was rumored that Peterson was going to hand over the position to his youngest son, but everyone


    knew that he was just a baby. Peterson had held a grand partyst year for his son''s one-month


    celebration. Gwyn was about the same age.


    "Hahaha, that''s impossible!" Joshua was amused by her reaction.


    "All right!" If that was the case, then she really didn''t know who was going to take over the Theo Group.


    It was kind of mysterious.


    "Have I told you this before?" He had forgotten whether he had already told Evelyn about it or not.


    "What?"


    Joshua hadn''t mentioned Sheffield to Evelyn in a long time, and he figured he should watch for her


    reaction when he did mention him. "Sheffield..."


    As soon as the name left his mouth, he made sure to observe how Evelyn would react.


    Evelyn, however, was doing a good job hiding her emotions from him. Her face was unreadable which


    left him with nothing. He had no idea what was going on in her mind. After some hesitation, Joshua


    continued, "If Sheffield doesn''t seed in his endeavors as a doctor, he''ll have to go back to his family


    and take over his father''s business."


    ''What? His father''s business?'' Confused, Evelyn asked, "Didn''t his parents pass away already?"


    "His mother passed away, but his father... Well, in his eyes, his father is dead." ''Well, the story of


    Sheffield''s family is tooplicated. I should just let him tell Evelyn himself, '' Joshua thought to


    himself.


    As Evelyn tried to process the information, the host on the stage suddenly announced, "Now, let''s


    wee the new CEO of the Theo Group, Mr. Peterson Tang''s son—Mr. Sheffield Tang!"


    ''Mr. Peterson Tang''s son... Sheffield Tang? What the hell?''


    Evelyn turned to look towards the stage in utter shock.


    The crowd was pping and cheering, roaring in apuse. "Wow! He''s so handsome!"


    "It''s Sheffield Tang! The one who has developed a new drug for the treatment of the Moss Syndrome!"


    "He''s so handsome! I hope I can get married to him!"


    The spot light turned a color of light blue as a man in a crisp suit walked on stage.


    He was wearing a pair of leather shoes that clicked as he walked.


    After he walked onto the stage, the screaming only got louder. It was like he had his own fans!


    He wore a ck suit, a white shirt and paired it with a wine-colored tie. It''d been two years and he


    looked more mature like he was sure of himself and everything that he did.


    Evelyn found it difficult to breathe—like most of the women at the banquet hall. They were all going


    crazy over him.


    Sheffield''s bright, upturned eyes creased in the most charming way when he smiled. Charming enough


    to make every woman swoon over him. He waited until the cheers and screaming stopped before he


    spoke. "Good evening,dies and gentlemen. I''m Sheffield Tang and from now on, I''ll be leading the


    Theo Group. I''m honored to be chosen as the next CEO."


    After that, he stepped aside and stood beside his father, Peterson.


    When they went off the stage, Peterson took him to meet some businessmen.


    Evelyn looked at Joshua, still in shock. "You knew all this time?"


    Joshua turned to her. "What?" he asked.


    "You knew his father is Peterson?"


    "Yes... It''s not that I purposely lied to you. I promised him that I wouldn''t tell anyone. He told me that I


    could just pretend that I didn''t know. Didn''t you know about this, Evelyn?"


    Evelyn shook her head in resignation. She had always thought that Sheffield was an orphan whose


    parents had passed away.


    And Sheffield had never told her anything about his rtionship with the Tang family.


    Bitterness surged from the bottom of her heart at this thought.


    Upon hearing this, Joshua was rendered speechless. He figured it was better if he just didn''t say


    anything more.


    When Evelyn came back from thedies'' room, Joshua was nowhere to be found. She ran her eyes


    throughout the hall and couldn''t find Sheffield either. She saw Peterson talking to a bunch of


    businessmen, though. They looked like CEOs of otherpanies.


    Just as she was hesitating whether to leave or not, Peterson caught sight of her. "Miss Huo, you came!


    I was looking for you." Sheffield had been saying that he wanted to meet the representative of ZL


    Group. It was not until Peterson had his men look around that he knew that Evelyn had gone to the


    Peterson turned around and found that Sheffield, who had been standing beside him, had disappeared.


    Evelyn stood up and gave him a broad smile. She raised her ss and said, "Mr. Tang,


    congrattions!"


    She had met Peterson before. ZL Group and Theo Group were bothrgepanies, so it wasn''t


    entirely impossible for them to run into each other every now and then. Peterson was actually Gwyn''s


    grandfather. This thought made Evelyn have mixed feelings.


    She had to look Peterson up and down again. Today he was wearing a dark blue suit and a tie of the


    same color. His short hair was slightly grey. His face was a little wrinkled and whenever he wasn''t


    smiling, he always looked serious.


    Sheffield didn''t look like his father very much on the surface. But if one looked closely, they did have


    some slight resemnces. Perhaps, Sheffield looked more like his mother than he did his father.


    "Thank you, Miss Huo. I hope you''re having a wonderful night." Peterson was courteous to Evelyn.

    Right at this moment, a man''s voice interrupted them, "Uncle Peterson!"
