True Love Waits

Chapter 1043 Causing A Ruckus

"I was really hurt by Sheffield. He not only refused to acknowledge me as his stepmother, but also said that he didn't care about Gillian. Peterson, I've been trying to develop a good relationship with Sheffield since he came back. But as you can see, he doesn't appreciate it, and he treats us like we are nothing to him. And he even hurt Gillian. I don't understand. She still has feelings for him. What's wrong with that? Tears spilled down Lea's cheeks again.

Peterson now had a clear picture of what had happened. Lea and Gillian had been embarrassed by Evelyn and Sheffield. So now, Lea was trying to snitch on them, hoping that Peterson would retaliate.

Pressing his eyebrows together, he answered, "I have told you this before. Sheffield is rebellious; he has always been. He doesn't listen to anyone. So, there's no point in being angry with him. And about Evelyn...well, she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. Just like her father, Carlos, she is bossy and domineering. No one in this city would dare to offend the Huo family. From now on, stay away from Sheffield and Evelyn. And tell Gillian not to interfere in their affairs. Everything will be fine if you just let them be."

Although Sheffield was rebellious, he had a quality that Peterson really admired-he was rather thick-skinned.

Peterson surmised that Evelyn must have agreed to go out with him because of his shameless persistence. Of course, it was obvious that Sheffield had a deep love for Evelyn. Otherwise, he would never have returned to take over Theo Group.

Peterson didn't care whom Sheffield liked as long as he came back and took over the company.

And since Sheffield was here now, taking care of business as the CEO, in return, Peterson was willing to help his son in all other aspects of his life.

If he crossed Sheffield, Peterson assumed that his enraged son would turn the fate of the Tang family upside down in minutes and leave Theo Group in a complete mess.

He had no other choice but to let his son have whatever he wanted so that he could live a happy life.

Lea stared at her husband in shock. She had stopped crying. She couldn't believe that he had just said that. What did he mean by that? Did he mean that it was all her and Gillian's fault? "Peterson, are you going to let Sheffield be this stubborn the whole time?"

"I know very well how stubborn he can be. In only the few weeks since he had taken over the company, the decline rate of Theo Group's market value has slowed down. Although it may not be too obvious at this point, it does not continue to fall. The share price is also improving. His ability and contribution to the quick growth are worth due credit. He knows what he is doing. He works hard every day. So you should stop trying to find faults with him." If Peterson were to be completely honest, he would have said that he didn't care whether Sheffield had insulted them both. As long as he continued to do wonders for the company, Sheffield could do whatever he wanted with his personal life.
