After wrapping up the meeting, Everett immediately dialed Dorothy.
His voice couldn't hide the underlying anxiety.
Had Dorothy not objected, he would have ditched the meeting in a heartbeat to be by her side.
"Are you out now?"
"Yeah," Dorothy responded obediently.
"What did Heather tell you?"
Dorothy knew he would ask about this. He must have been thinking about it even during the meeting.
"She told me to take good care of you," she relayed Heather's words to Everett without any alterations.
"..."
"Actually, Heather really wanted to see you, but she was afraid you'd refuse."
"I'm not going," Everett's response was sharp and decisive, just as everyone expected.
After a brief pause, he added, "Don't try to convince me. I'm definitely not going."
Dorothy laughed, "I wouldn't dream of convincing you! Why on earth would I want you to visit my rival in a prison of all places?"
Even though Heather no longer posed a threat, she was still someone who competed for Everett's affection.
However, Heather's reaction today took Dorothy by surprise.
She had always thought Heather's interest in Everett was driven by ambition, liking the idea of stepping on others to reach the top. Marrying Everett was a way to secure that high status for herself.

Sometimes Karen can be such a drama queen and immature....
For some reason I am now feeling suspicious about Kevin's new girlfriend....
I really hope this Perdita person is not a new villain....
I too echoed the sentiments of pppplllleeeaaaassssseeeeee bring this drama to an end. I beg of you!...
Really please finish this book and upload the full story so it can end. It's been drugout for so long!...
The intimate scenes in this story or uncomfortable to read. They either come off as being forced, painful, or simply not enjoyable....
Okay I left a long while ago and came back. Looks like it's been updated but still not done lol. I'll maybe wait 6 months before coming back and it'll probably still be going on. It's like a soap opera instead of a novel...
Kenneth is confirming something I've been thinking about him for several hundred chapters ago and that is he is a future murder suicide perpetrator. And after reading chapter 1275 yeah it's just brought the thought back....
How could Jeffrey throw the knife down at the scene of the crime with both their fingerprints on there?...
Again no update, so is this where it ends? Or post the whole book. Your dragging this out...
