Dollie wedged her hand halfway through the window, refusing to let him go. "Please, I'll only take up ten minutes of your time!"
Having lost his patience, the man inside the car behind Sheffield's, rolled down his window and stuck his head out. "What the hell is going on? Are you going in or not?"
Exasperated, Sheffield unlocked the door and said, "Get in the car first."
Dollie quickly went around and tried to open the door of the passenger seat, but found that the door was locked. She could only open the door of the back seat and get in.
Inside the residence estate
Sheffield parked his car at a random spot and jumped out of his car. He leaned against the door and waited for Dollie to get out.
When she did, she asked him, "Is there a reason why you work for the First General Hospital?"
"Yes." Sheffield didn't deny it. He pulled out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and lit one.
His serene demeanor sent a chill down Dollie's spine. "Please help my father! If you agree to withdraw the lawsuit, I will do whatever you ask me to!"
Dollie didn't know how to convince him, but she was willing to do whatever it took. She was desperate since Sheffield put Sidell in jail and now the man was awaiting his sentence. Sheffield rolled his eyes at her and sneered, "Help your father?"
The two looked into each other's eyes, but the man's gaze had the power to dissect her feelings bit by bit with the least bit of care. "Who was there to save my mother?"
Dollie didn't know what to say. Finally, taking a step closer to him, she bit her lower lip and whispered, "I know you like Evelyn Huo. If you spare my father, I will pledge myself to you as your mistress. You won't have to marry me and I will never bother you about Evelyn."
Sheffield's face crinkled up in disgust and he sneered at her words. "My mistress? I'm just a simple doctor. How can I do that to the youngest daughter of Mr. Xiang?"
Dollie had no choice but to ignore his sarcasm. Out of the blue, she hugged him and pressed her face against his chest. "I apologize to you on behalf of my father. I'm sorry. Please forgive him!"
Right then, a red Emperor car stopped beside them. The window of the back seat rolled down and revealed Evelyn's emotionless face glaring at them.
Her delicate makeup didn't completely hide the dark circles under her eyes. She didn't even bother to acknowledge the woman's existence by looking at her. Instead, she looked at the man who was smoking and said, "Are you done there?"
With a cigarette wedged between his lips, he looked at the woman inside the car and said, "Miss Huo, what can I do for you?"
Sheffield didn't push Dollie away, nor did Dollie pull herself away from him. In fact, the two of them looked at Evelyn at the same time.
"Talk," she observed.
"A talk?" With a smile on his lips, Sheffield exhaled a mouthful of smoke and continued, "About what? Love? How much you missed me? Does Miss Huo want to talk to me in bed?"
His candor startled Evelyn and she looked away immediately, giving him two choices. "Your apartment or mine?"
Sheffield smirked, holding up Dollie's chin to face him and with an enchanting voice, he said, "Hey baby, why don't we play together?"
Dollie's mouth released a startled gasp, cheeks blushing red. "A threesome?"
Sheffield arched an eyebrow. "Of course. Don't you believe in my capability?"
"That's not what I meant!" This kind of thing was quite common in the entertainment circle. In truth, Dollie wasn't surprised at it at all, and she was kind of looking forward to sharing a man with Evelyn.
Fires of fury and hatred were smoldering in Evelyn's narrowed eyes. 'Baby? Together?
Is he trying to insult me?' "Sheffield!" Although her voice was low, it was not difficult to sense the anger from her tone.
Before she could say anything else, Sheffield interrupted her, deliberately feigning impatience, and said, "Miss Huo, I've changed my mind. I suggest we go to the No. 9 Princess Cruiser Nightclub. Are you in?"
The No. 9 Princess Cruiser Nightclub was famous for its male and female prostitutes.
Having understood what Sheffield was doing, Evelyn remained calm and unflustered. "Okay," she replied calmly.
When he saw the red Emperor turn around and leave the neighborhood, Sheffield told Dollie, "Look, I'm not interested in you at all. Don't come to me again!" After saying that, he opened the door to get in his car.
His words made Dollie realize that he was just making a fool out of her just now. She grabbed the collar of his shirt and said, "You're just going to throw me away after humiliating me?"
"Yes!" replied Sheffield nonchalantly, turning around to leave.
"You're an asshole!"
Sheffield shook his head. 'I am an asshole?' He rolled down his window and said, "That's a good joke. What I did was far from what you did to my mother!"
Dollie realized what he was talking about and she refuted immediately, "Ingrid Chu deserved what she got! She tried to seduce my father!"
'Seduced Sidell?' Sheffield cast a cold glance at Dollie and said, "Do you think Sidell is good enough for my mom? Dollie, I'll remember this. I'll talk to you about it some other day!" Sheffield had far more pressing matters that required his attention.
As soon as he finished talking, he rolled his windows up and drove away, completely disregarding her repeated pleading.
When Evelyn was only a few minutes away from the No.
Princess Cruiser Nightclub, she received a message from Sheffield. "Room 266."
With an expressionless face, she put away her cell phone and leaned back in the seat, staring at the scenery outside the window.
It was still in the early hours of the day and there were only a handful of visitors in the nightclub. Upon reaching the reception, the manager led Evelyn to Room 266.
What she saw in the room made her frown with disappointment.
There were more than a dozen hot women sitting around Sheffield and Joshua.
Evelyn almost choked on the shoddy perfumes those women were wearing that hung thickly in the air.
Evelyn walked in as soon as Joshua had sat down, giving him no time to disassociate himself from the women around him. He slowly turned to face Sheffield, only to find his friend sitting casually, showing no signs of panic on his expression. Much to his surprise, Sheffield even pulled two women in his arms.
Joshua's heart jolted. 'Damn it! I fell into Sheffield's trap again!" Flustered, he pushed away the women from his lap and stood up. "Evelyn, it's good to see you," he greeted.
With a grim face, Evelyn looked over her shoulder and told Tayson, "Throw them all out!"
Tayson responded aptly and nodded, "Yes, Miss Huo!"
The women in the room looked at her curiously. One asked, "Who is she? Why does she want to throw us out?"
"Mr. Tang. That woman just asked someone to throw us out. Aren't you going to say something?" A purple-haired woman with curvy features wrapped her arms around Sheffield.
"She looks familiar. I think I have seen her somewhere…" said another woman, looking at Evelyn carefully.
Before long, more than a dozen bodyguards entered the private booth and dragged the women outside while they screamed and shouted.
The three people were the only inhabitants of the private booth. Joshua decided that it would be best not be the third wheel. "Well, something important just came up. Evelyn, I have to go now." Evelyn nodded politely, allowing Joshua to take his leave.
All the while, Sheffield sat with his back rested against the back of the couch and filled his glass with some wine.
