Aside from Dorothy being of no further use, there was something else. Quincy, as a woman, couldn't help but feel a bit sorry for Dorothy.
Truth be told, she could have delayed handing over the antidote to Dorothy a while longer. As long as Dorothy didn't die, the timing of the antidote, sooner or later, didn't really make that much difference. But Quincy figured, since Dorothy was going to be out of the picture anyway, it might be kinder to let her bow out sooner rather than later.
"Dorothy, you can't blame me, you know. I did ask you about it before."
At that time, Quincy was still hesitating. She thought that if Dorothy would just drop the lawsuit, she wouldn't have to marry Everett and be used as a pawn in their game. That was the reason for their previous conversation. But Dorothy was ungrateful. Despite being asked numerous times, she never changed her mind. So Quincy felt she had no choice but to take this final step.

As soon as Ronin hung up the phone, his heart was in his throat! He didn't dare waste a second. This was about Everett! The sole heir to the Lopez family. If anything happened to him, the entire Caldwell family would be toast, thanks to Jonathan. But then again, did he have any other choice?
"I swear, I've raised a liability!" Ronin cursed under his breath as he dialed Jonathan.
"Jonathan, you mentioned before about joining our families through marriage. I've always been fond of your son, really hoped to match him with my daughter! But Everett, I don't know if he's just too busy or what, he never has time to connect with my girl. How's that going to work? Maybe... you could find an excuse? Get the two of them to meet, maybe over dinner?"
"I'd love to! Your daughter's clearly a sensible girl, even saved my boy's life. She'd make a far better daughter-in-law than Dorothy! It's just these young people, I can't really control them anymore," Jonathan sighed as if helpless. "Look, if I tell him outright to meet your daughter, he'll never agree! We'll have to trick him."
"Not at all! If Quincy and Everett really hit it off, any spat they might have would probably be due to my daughter's stubbornness! Everett's got so much on his plate, she needs to be understanding."
"Exactly, our families joining forces is the perfect match! So, it's agreed."
"Agreed."
Even after hanging up, Ronin's brows remained furrowed. This was different from any other deal, involving actual lives! He was genuinely worried his daughter might bite off more than she could chew, potentially dragging the entire Caldwell family into a disaster. And they weren't just dealing with anyone here, but the Lopez family!

Why didn't Jeffrey call Everett from the office? Lock his door instruct security to not let anyone in and speak to Everett on the phone? Or send him a text giving him a quick summary of what's up and that he's on his way over. That way when he runs into Heather on his way out he informs her Everett already knows....
