Hearing Elizabeth Thompson’s response, Olga felt relieved.
Elizabeth Thompson’s future was bright, and she couldn’t be influenced by Trevor Sherman, the stepping stone.
Outside the door, Trevor Sherman stood still, hardly able to believe his own ears.
But the reality reminded him that it was true.
This was the true Elizabeth Thompson.
Before, she had been living under a disguise.
Laughable.
Truly laughable.
At this moment, Trevor Sherman felt as if his strength had been drained in an instant, his spine chilling.
Bang
The thermos in Trevor Sherman’s hand dropped to the ground.
No one could understand his feelings at this time.
He had trusted Elizabeth Thompson so much and regarded her as his only confidant.
But in the end, he found out .
His trust was a joke.
Hearing the noise outside, Elizabeth Thompson and Olga exchanged glances, seeing the tension in each other’s eyes.
Who was it outside the door?
Could it be Trevor Sherman!
Olga immediately walked to the door, pushed it open, and asked, “Who is it?”
The outside was pitch black.
No one answered, nor was anyone’s figure seen.
“Who?” Olga went out of the door.
Elizabeth Thompson followed her out and called, “Mom?”
Olga frowned slightly, “Strange, why isn’t anyone there?”
“What is that?” Elizabeth Thompson pointed at the thermos on the ground.
Olga walked over, picked up the thermos, and looked at Elizabeth Thompson, “Emma, could it be Trevor Sherman has been here?”
Trevor Sherman was the Thompson Clan’s only savior now, and if he had heard those words, Olga couldn’t imagine the consequences.
“It shouldn’t be.” Elizabeth Thompson was relatively calm, taking the thermos from Olga’s hand, “Mom, let’s go back to the room first.”
Olga nodded and followed Elizabeth Thompson back in.
At this time, Elizabeth Thompson was also very panicked.
But she couldn’t show it.
It definitely wasn’t Trevor Sherman.
Definitely not.
Upon returning to the room, Elizabeth Thompson took out her phone and called Trevor Sherman.
Soon, the beep sounded from the other end.
But no one picked it up in the end.
Elizabeth Thompson took out her phone again and sent a WhatsApp message to Trevor Sherman.
But the result was the same.
Elizabeth Thompson frowned slightly.
Could it be
Could it be that those words had really reached Trevor Sherman’s ears?
No.
Impossible.
Elizabeth Thompson called Trevor Sherman again.
Olga anxiously paced back and forth on the side.
How could it be so coincidental!
Trevor Sherman was driving at the moment, focusing on the road, while the phone rang in the car, but he ignored it.
He didn’t look at the phone.
But he knew that the call must be from Elizabeth Thompson.
Humiliation!
This was a great humiliation to him.
He adamantly told Mrs. Sherman that he wouldn’t misjudge people.
How long has it been?
To think that he was being played like a fool by Elizabeth Thompson, Trevor Sherman’s feelings at this moment were indescribable, suffocating as he struggled to breathe.
Trevor Sherman slammed on the brakes uncontrollably.
Screech!
Due to the inertia, Trevor Sherman’s head banged against the steering wheel, and the airbag instantly deployed.
Bang!
Another sound.
The car behind hadn’t expected Trevor Sherman to slam on the brakes, rear-ending him directly.
The front of the car was crushed.
“Fuck! Are you sick?!” The driver from the car behind was frightened, cursing and opening the car door, “You’re fucking trying to die!”
Suddenly stopping the car in the middle of the road.
Thankfully he was driving slowly, or else he wouldn’t have seen tomorrow’s sun.
Trevor Sherman just sat in the driver’s seat, not saying a word, allowing the driver behind to curse.
The driver continued to curse for a while, but as Trevor Sherman remained silent, he got a bit flustered.
This person couldn’t be mentally ill, could he?
Soon, the traffic police arrived.
From beginning to end, Trevor Sherman only said one sentence: “I’ll take full responsibility for this incident.”
By the time he returned home, it was already 2 in the morning.The lights in the living room were still on.
As soon as Trevor Sherman stepped into the living room, he saw Mrs. Sherman sitting on the sofa.
She was worried about Trevor not coming home so late, so she sat in the living room waiting for him.
Looking at Mrs. Sherman’s grey hair, Trevor felt ashamed.
In this world, the only one who wouldn’t deceive or betray him was probably Mrs. Sherman.
Yet he had made her worry so much.
Trevor walked to Mrs. Sherman’s side, “Grandma, why haven’t you gone to sleep yet?”
“When people get old, their sleep isn’t so good, so I just sat in the living room for a while,” Mrs. Sherman noticed that Trevor was not in a good mood, “Trevor, are you alright?”
“I’m fine,” Trevor looked at Mrs. Sherman and bitterly smiled: “I just suddenly realized that you were right. I’m a fool, being used by others and not even realizing it. Grandma, I’m sorry for making you worry.”
Mrs. Sherman was startled by Trevor’s words and immediately stood up from the sofa, “Trevor ”
“Grandma, I really am fine. You don’t have to worry. I’m going up to my room to rest now.”
Having grown up as an orphan, he was used to dealing with problems on his own.
Mrs. Sherman stood watching Trevor’s retreating figure, saying, “Trevor, everyone has moments when they fail to see people’s true colors. It’s okay, tomorrow is a new day.”
Trevor turned back to Mrs. Sherman, “Yeah.”
Mrs. Sherman continued, “Get some good rest.”
Trevor nodded and went upstairs.
Watching Trevor’s retreating figure, Mrs. Sherman let out a soft sigh.
Her grandson was also someone who had suffered a hard life.
He had never enjoyed a father’s love or a mother’s care, and now he was deceived in a relationship.
Trevor came to his bedroom, picked up a bottle of vodka, and drank straight from the bottle.
Drinking to forget the sorrow.
It was his first time truly devoting his heart to a girl, and he never thought it would end like this.
Mrs. Sherman stood at the staircase, watching the door to Trevor’s room, her eyes full of worry.
She hoped Trevor could stay strong.
Being heartbroken for Elizabeth Thompson was not worth it at all.
The next day.
Elizabeth had been unable to contact Trevor all night, and worried to death, she came to Su Corporation’s doorstep early in the morning to wait for him.
Half an hour later, she finally saw Trevor getting out of the car.
“Big Brother Sherman!” Elizabeth immediately walked over.
Usually, Trevor would’ve happily greeted her with open arms.
But today.
He acted as if he didn’t see Elizabeth at all, his face completely devoid of emotion.
“Big Brother Sherman, what’s wrong?” Elizabeth guessed that Trevor must have heard something last night, but she still pretended not to know, “I was really worried about you. I’ve been trying to contact you all night.”
“Stop pretending.” Trevor just stared at Elizabeth.
Elizabeth panicked, but tried to calm down, “Pretending what?”
After a night of digestion, Trevor’s emotions had become much more stable. Mrs. Sherman was right.
For a vain woman like Elizabeth, it wasn’t worth beating himself up.
Elizabeth continued, “Big Brother Sherman, I really don’t know what you’re talking about. How about we sit down and talk it over?”
“What’s there to talk about with a pawn?” Trevor’s eyes were full of sarcasm.
Elizabeth’s heart skipped a beat.
She knew.
She was finished!
She regretted telling her mother those words.
“Big Brother Sherman, actually, that’s not what I meant at all. I can explain it to you,” Elizabeth said, “Could you give me a chance to explain?”
Trevor continued to stare at Elizabeth, “Do you really take me for a fool?”
In fact.
He should have guessed that Elizabeth was not a good person when she cancelled their engagement.
Unfortunately, he was just too stupid!
Trevor continued, “Just go away. Seeing you now, even for a moment, makes me sick.”
The word “disgusting” was like a sharp sword piercing Elizabeth’s body.
Disgusting.
How could Trevor, a man who loved her so much, call her disgusting!
Before Elizabeth could react, Trevor turned and walked away.
Elizabeth hesitated for a moment, then quickly followed him.
When she reached the door, she was stopped by someone.
Before, she was free to come and go through the doors of Su Corporation, and everyone would respectfully address her as Miss Thompson, but now she couldn’t even get in.
What to do!
Elizabeth’s heart was filled with sorrow.
Trevor was the last hope for the Thompson Clan!
On the other side.
Capital City.
Viola Thompson was sitting at her computer desk, her fingers tapping non-stop on the keyboard. Her white fingers against the black keyboard created a beautiful scene.
The codes on the screen were constantly changing, dazzling the eyes.
“Viola,” Mary Perryne’s knocking sounded from outside the door.
“Mom, come in,” Viola’s tone was faint.
Soon, Mary entered the room, “Viola, are you busy?”
“Not at all,” Viola closed her computer, “Mom, do you need something?”
Mary looked at Viola, contemplating her words, “Viola, I want to talk to you about the marriage you arranged in River City.”
