BXBX NOVEL Chapter 977 Take A Bet
"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 the lab 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 glared 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 nonchalant smile. "It doesn't matter. I'll be glad 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 my laptop 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 play 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 his laptop. 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 w
ss 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 the launch event, it was getting dark outside.
He glanced 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 glanced 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 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 place, 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 blankly 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 slap 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.
