"So what are you going to do now?" Joshua asked, wondering why it was so difficult for him to figure out what Sheffield was thinking.
"First of all, I need to apologize to Evelyn!" That was Sheffield's number-one priority right now.
Joshua, however, couldn't understand why Sheffield would apologize to Evelyn. After all, she was the one who stood him up. "I'm not kidding. Before you say anything to Evelyn, just hear her out first," Joshua insisted.
Sheffield smiled and reassured him, "Don't worry. I'm not going to argue with her. I love her too much for that. She said there was something wrong with the new product launch. I'm just driving her home right now."
"You must be under some sort of magic spell to love her like this, Mr. Tang," Joshua added.
"Maybe! But I willingly subject myself to her spell."
"Yeah, yeah. Now you're just showing off!" Joshua wanted to lighten the atmosphere, at least to make Sheffield happier.
"You're right, maybe just a little. But, hey Mr. Single, it's not like you have anything better to do than to listen to me brag about my love life!"
Joshua feigned annoyance. "Damn it! I'm single and I'm happy!"
"Fine. Go ahead enjoy your single life. I'm going to pick up my girl."
"Get outta here!"
Sheffield hung up the phone and pulled out the location of where the new product launch event was taking place. After securing his luggage, he drove straight to his next destination.
On the way, Sheffield wondered if he would be disappointed in Evelyn, especially after what had happened today, if he had no idea of her previous pregnancy.
However, there were no ifs or buts about it.
Sheffield had no right to blame Evelyn for what had happened today. After all, the pregnancy had put Evelyn's life at risk.
No matter what Evelyn had done, she was absolved of any kind of blame or accountability, at least in this case.
At ZL Group's subsidiary
When Evelyn arrived at the venue and stood in front of everybody, all the reporters swarmed out of their seats in excited unison.
At the end of the day, the person standing before them was Evelyn Huo, daughter of the CEO of ZL Group and the most influential female executive in Y City.

As graceful as a queen, Evelyn showed neither anger nor embarrassment in the difficult situation. Netizens were amazed by her composed disposition and elegance. She had become their goddess.
The live broadcast was still on-going. As a matter of fact, Nadia was the one who had arranged for the security guards to get the media journalists out of there. However, Evelyn stopped her. The viewers had only seen the beginning of the story. If they were to stop the broadcast now, it would look like their company was trying to hide something disgraceful. It would change the entire narrative of the situation. Evelyn wanted everybody to see the whole truth. And if her company was in the wrong, she would set things right and hold the person in charge responsible.
Five minutes later, Nadia hurried inside with her phone in her hand. She briefly told Evelyn about what had happened.
It turned out that last year Trend Company had begun demolishing clusters of dilapidated housings in the city. When the people involved in the affair knew that it was related to the ZL Group, they began asking for exorbitant prices.
