Chapter 1092 Life Is So Hard
The reporter commented, "It's pretty obvious they're very much in love." He was talking about Evelyn and Sheffield.
"Of course. I never regretted letting Evelyn marry him. After two years apart, he jumped at the chance to propose to her. He showered her with betrothal gifts, too—like shares of Theo Group. As soon as they set a wedding date, they popped down to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get their marriage certificates. He's done a good job, so far," Carlos stated.
"So that's how it was. No need to feel guilty, Mr. Huo. They're happy now, right?"
"Yes. I'll try my best to make it up to Sheffield. He's suffered a lot proving his love for Evelyn."
Both Carlos' interview and Sheffield's press conference went viral. Netizens finally had something to confirm their suspicions.
Naturally, the scandals about Calvert and Rowena resurfaced. That was where the public relations teams of Theo Group and ZL Group came in, minimizing media coverage of such things, and guiding public opinion. Gradually, people became excited about Sheffield and Evelyn getting married, and the bad old days were forgotten.
Many people appreciated Sheffield's profound love for Evelyn, and at the same time, they were glad that she hadn't married Calvert. She would have missed out on Sheffield if she had.
Other people brought up the old saying: "Although a man's love for a woman cannot be measured by money, it's still a way to see how much a man loves you." Anyone could tell how much Sheffield loved Evelyn. He bought her that expensive red diamond ring and used it to propose to her. He paid a high bride price to the Huo family. Not to mention the expensive wedding dress and the decorations.
"Princess Evelyn is so lucky to have two men who love her that much," a netizen commented.
"Mr. Tang and Mrs. Tang, please be happy forever."
Blessings were thrown this way and that on the message boards.
Tears welled up in Evelyn's eyes when she saw the two videos. She felt so lucky to have two men who loved her so much. It had caused a lot of trouble online, but she didn't have to worry about it. Her husband and her father took care of everything.
But she did feel responsible, so she reached out.
After thinking about it, she logged into her Weibo ac
e Joshua the same hell you put me through. Why are you letting him off the hook?"
"When did I say that? What are you playing at? Joshua isn't as accomplished or as rich as you are. He has a hard enough time on his own. Why should I make things more difficult for him?" Carlos said matter-of-factly.
"Joshua refused to help you when you were trying to stop me and Evelyn from getting together. Besides, you asked me who was more important: my best friend or my father-in-law. You asked me to stand with you, not against you." Sheffield wasn't trying to pit Carlos against Joshua. But the old man was being unfair. He kept meddling in Evelyn and his relationship, and caused no end of problems. But he just gave in easily to the idea of Joshua marrying his younger daughter.
Carlos feigned sadness. "That was my fault. I really was too hard on you. But I know what I did was wrong, and I don't want to do it again. That was a loyalty test. I wanted to figure out if you'd dump your friends and family for me. I guess now I know."
The rest of the family burst into laughter. Carlos always had an answer ready for Sheffield.
"Dad..." groaned the young man. 'Life is hard!' he yelled in his heart.
Carlos nodded, "Yes, Son? What can I do for ya?"
Sheffield was completely speechless.
Watching the two, Matthew flashed a thin smile. Finally, someone knew what it was like to be him. Carlos had another punching bag now.
After a short while, Sheffield and Matthew followed Carlos into the study.
