Chapter 1089 Disowning Him As A Brother
Wearing a pair of grey crystal high heels, Evelyn got out of the car. Tobias explained anxiously, "Mrs. Tang, Mr. Sheffield Tang and Mr. Sterling Tang are still in the conference room. Everyone in the company knows what happened..."
Evelyn nodded. "Which floor?" She straightened her clothes and walked into the office building of Theo Group without missing a beat.
"The conference room is on the 37th floor. We had a shareholders' meeting this morning," Tobias said, catching up with her.
"I see."
Evelyn rocked a long black and white designer dress. The moment she appeared, she drew everyone's attention. The employees hadn't seen their CEO's wife since they got married. They all admired her sartorial style and noble demeanor.
Tobias led Evelyn into the CEO's private elevator, and it took her straight to the 37th floor.
At the entrance of the meeting room there were some senior executives, who were all at a loss as to what to say.
"Good morning, Mrs. Tang," they said, greeting Evelyn as soon as they saw her.
Evelyn nodded at them. As soon as she reached the door, she heard a thump, and a strangled cry from inside. It was Sterling.
On the way there, she dialed Sheffield's number. But he had handed his phone to Tobias, so she hadn't had a chance to talk to him yet.
Tobias knocked on the door to the conference room. "Mr. Sheffield Tang, your wife is here."
The noise level in the room dropped. Tobias continued to pound on the door. "Mr. Sheffield Tang, please open the door. Mrs. Tang is here!"
The door was still closed, but they could hear no noise coming from beyond it.
Evelyn knocked at the door herself and said quietly, "Hey, sweetie. It's me."
The door was opened as soon as she said that. It was Sheffield, with bruises on his face. When he saw Evelyn, he rolled his eyes at Tobias and asked resignedly, "Who called my wife?"
Evelyn was relieved to see Sheffield, to see that he was okay. She jumped in to help Tobias. "No one called me. I called you. I couldn't get ahold of you though, so I decided to drop by."
Ignoring everyone else, Sheffield intimately put his arms around Evelyn. With eyes full of affection, he asked in a soft voice, "I didn't have my phone on me during the meeting. Any
, and stuck it on his face.
After throwing the wrapper into the waste basket, Evelyn looked at him and shook her head helplessly. 'He's so handsome even with a band-aid!' she thought.
"What was that all about? Sighing and shaking your head like that?"
Evelyn pinched his uninjured cheek and said, "It means you're hopeless. And I'm hopelessly in love." Then she sat beside him and asked, "Does it hurt anywhere? I know your brother got banged up pretty bad."
"Yes, here!" The playful man gripped her hand and pulled it to his body.
When she realized what he was up to, her face blushed. "You're something else, you know that?" She drew her hand back and slapped him heavily on the shoulder.
He held her tightly in his arms. "I'm fine. Nothing happened to me. You trust me?"
"So, are you disowning him as a brother?"
"Yes, I can't let him off easily. He'll end up in jail." Then he told her what happened.
Some of the shareholders of the company reported to the board the kinds of illegal things Sterling had done. Sterling was furious and demanded to know if Sheffield was behind this. He got belligerent with his brother.
Sheffield didn't deny it. It was his job as CEO to see that these kinds of things were taken care of. So he revoked the man's shares, and was going to have him kicked out of the building.
This erupted in a huge fight, and Sterling raised his fists and his voice. He also brought up the past, and accused Sheffield of seducing and sleeping with his wife.
