Chapter 965 Someone Like You

But when they were talking about the marriage of her eldest granddaughter, Miranda wanted to know everything.

Debbie told Miranda all that she knew. "Carlos was angry with Sheffield because he got her pregnant. I got it. I was pissed too. My daughter is one of the elite, but he almost killed her. How could I not be angry? And if it weren't for Matthew bringing it up with Sheffield, we would have never known Sheffield was clueless about the whole thing. Evelyn never said a word to him about it. There we were, hating a man for something he hadn't known he'd done. The reason why Carlos agreed to let Evelyn marry Calvert was the media. They'd been linked, thanks to the paparazzi. It was really Sheffield in those pics, but Calvert agreed to pretend to be the man in the pictures, as long as Evelyn could marry him. That was okay by Carlos. He hated Sheffield, anyway." Carlos was always a man of his word.

"You're kidding!" Miranda interjected.

"No lie. He made a promise to Calvert, just so he could be rid of Sheffield. He figured once Sheffield knew she was engaged, he'd back off."

Carlos didn't like Sheffield at all, to begin with. However, after getting to know him, he changed his opinion of him.

Actually, Carlos had enough status and power to make all this go away. But it would reflect badly on the family if Carlos went back on his word, because they were public figures. So were the Jis.

Plus, when Sheffield's patient died, Evelyn had asked Carlos for help and promised him that she'd get engaged to Calvert. Even now, Evelyn still believed that the reason Sheffield was able to turn the tables so quickly was that Carlos had his back.

What she didn't know was that before Carlos could do anything, Sheffield had already gotten himself out of hot water.

Father and daughter always kept their promises. So Evelyn had to get engaged to Calvert, and there wasn't anything she could do about it.

Miranda thought for a while and replied firmly, "Carlos won't let this happen."

He wouldn't let this injustice stand. He just needed time to figure out a way out of this. Miranda hoped that Sheffield wouldn't give up Evelyn and could wait for her.

And Debbie knew that Calvert was an outstanding guy, but he couldn't hold a candle to Sheffield.

When E

ut Terilynn. He was the one that told her.

Among the three kids of the Huo family, Matthew worried the elders the least. They wondered what kind of girl Matthew would marry.

"Huh. Well, that's for the best." Carlos believed Terilynn's relationship would be less troublesome than Evelyn's.

The kids didn't know the three elders were talking about them. Terilynn was upstairs, blissfully ignorant of what was going on a floor below her. She sent a message to Joshua. "What's your New Year wish?"

Joshua replied very quickly, "I want a girlfriend."

"That's all?"

"That's all."

Terilynn giggled. "That's an easy one. But I think Mr. Fan has to have a girl in mind to make that wish come true. I don't believe it."

"Maybe I do."

"What kind of girl do you like?"

Joshua stood in front of the window of a hotel. Behind him, his friends were eating and drinking at a table. He replied, "Someone full of life, bright, happy, someone who has a warm heart..."

And then he added a few words silently, in his heart—"Someone like you."

"What about looks? Or is that important? I know a lot of girls that would love a boyfriend. Would you like me to introduce you?"

"Well, young and hot, of course. That goes without saying. But... I prefer girls with dimples."

'Dimples?' Terilynn couldn't help but touch her face. Then she put down her phone and ran to the dresser. She smirked to herself in the mirror, and two shallow dimples appeared on her face. 'Well, that's one down, ' she thought to herself.
