True Love Waits

Chapter 1041 Defending His Love

"I believe you when you say Mr. Tang has never treated his employees this way. But that's because no one has ever provoked him like Gillian has provoked me." Evelyn stared coldly at the two sisters, giving off an intimidating aura.

Lea remained silent for a while. Evelyn was right. Considering Evelyn's status and taking into account the fact that Gillian had started it, Lea made an effort to smoothen the situation over. "You're right. It's Gillian's fault. I'll make sure she doesn't repeat this."

With a lukewarm attitude, Sheffield said to Gillian, "Don't show your face to either of us again. I don't want you anywhere near me or my girlfriend." Every time Gillian was involved, Evelyn would flare up. He didn't want her to be unhappy, and the best solution was to get Gillian out of their lives.

Sheffield's words hit Gillian hard. She didn't care what Evelyn said, but Sheffield's warning hurt her. She asked, "How could you do this to me, Sheffield?"

He held Evelyn's hand and asked in confusion, "Why can't I do this to you? What do I care?"

Embarrassed, Gillian bit her lower lip and argued, "I...I'm your father's sister-in-law; I'm your aunt! You should respect me!" But she didn't want to be his aunt. She wanted to be his wife. Sheffield burst into laughter and Evelyn scoffed at her pathetic attempt. He countered sarcastically, "I don't even accept your sister as my stepmother. You think I give a damn about you?"

The two women were embarrassed by his words, and Lea's face froze. She held the irritated Gillian's hand and said, "Sheffield, it's not right to say such things. We're your family now. Gillian and I just wanted to say hi. We didn't mean for all this to happen. Evelyn, don't fire Gillian. She loves this job and works hard too. I don't think ZL Group would want to lose an honest employee. Am I right?"

Evelyn wasn't convinced. "We do cherish talented people. But I won't allow someone so unethical to work for me."

Clasping Gillian's hand tightly, Lea continued with a forced smile, "Evelyn, don't forget that we're Sheffield's family. If I were you, I wouldn't go against the Tang family before I married into the family." Evelyn understood that Lea was implying that if she was smart enough, she wouldn't make enemies with the sisters before she married Sheffield.

'Is this woman threatening me?' She smirked at their audacity. A cold aura emanated from Evelyn. "If I don't get to marry Sheffield because of Gillian..." She shifted her sharp gaze to Gillian and continued coldly, "...I will make sure that she never gets married either."
