Chapter 922 That's Mr. Huo For you!

Sheffield was indeed in dire need of money because of his research and development. Carlos knew this.

Even though he was being laughed at, Sheffield kept his temper. "It is true that I can't afford to buy this chair now, but I'm looking forward to the day I will be rich enough to buy the manufacturer of this chair," he said calmly.

"I'm looking forward to it too," Carlos snorted.

Silence befell the office again. Leaning against the windowsill, Evelyn watched Sheffield as he typed something on her laptop really fast.

Carlos frowned when he saw how fast Sheffield was. 'Could he be…?'

Three more minutes passed and Carlos stood up from the couch. "I don't have time to waste on you. If you can't unlock the door within the next two minutes, I'll open it myself. The security will escort you out of the building and our lives." 'Good riddance, ' Carlos thought to himself.

Sheffield didn't reply. His eyes were fixed on the codes that were continuously changing on the screen.

Carlos became even more curious as to what he was doing, so he paced towards the desk.

But before he could catch a glimpse of the screen, Sheffield pressed the Enter key and said, "Done!"

He memorized the six digits and closed the pop-up window. "Mr. Huo, don't blink," he said with a naughty grin.

Carlos remained expressionless and watched him walk to the password lock on the door. Sheffield mumbled as he tapped in the numbers, "5-8-9-7-3-2."

Beep! The high-tech smart lock was now deactivated.

All three people in the room had different looks on their faces. Sheffield had a devil-may-care smile; Evelyn was surprised and also excited. Carlos was on the verge of erupting as he fisted his palms.

When the two men made eye contact, the smug look in Sheffield's eyes seemed to be saying, "Gotcha, Mr. Huo! I'm better than you thought I was, aren't I?"

Evelyn trotted over to Carlos and grabbed his sleeve nervously. "Dad, you cannot go back on your words now."

Carlos was already fuming with rage. And his daughter had been siding with Sheffield all this while, which made him even angrier.

Rubbing his hands together, Sheffield asked in a mischievous tone, "So, Mr. Huo, may I have the honor of hanging out with your daughter today? Tomorrow is her birthday. I haven't had the time to buy

Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.

To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.

"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."

She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.

Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.

Carlos placed his left hand on his waist and pinched his forehead with the other. He was misled when he saw how fast the man had worked on the desktop earlier. For a moment, he had mistaken Sheffield for Star Anise.

He closed his eyes and pointed to the door. "Go! Leave now!"

Sheffield's grin grew wider and he called to Evelyn, "Now or never. Go get your stuff! Time to have some fun!"

Evelyn's lips curled into a smile. "Take it easy. He is a man of his words."

"Who knows? I don't trust him," Sheffield said, rolling his eyes.

Evelyn sighed helplessly and went to get her things.

As she walked to the door with Sheffield, she turned around and looked at the old man standing in front of the window. She said in a grateful voice, "Dad, thank you. We are leaving now."

Carlos didn't respond.

Sheffield imitated her and said with a smirk, "Dad, thank you. We are leaving now."

Carlos turned around and looked at him coldly. "That's Mr. Huo for you!"

"Yes, Dad. It's a fine surname. Maybe I could take it."

"Fuck off! I don't need a son like you!"

"That doesn't matter. You will have a son like me sooner or later." Before Carlos could kick him out, he grabbed Evelyn's hand and dragged her towards the office door.

There were several rows of security guards outside the door.

Evelyn let go of Sheffield's hand and collected herself. Returning to her usual emotionless self, she said indifferently, "Thank you for all your hard work. You may leave now."

"Yes, Miss Huo." The guards left in line.
