Dorothy pursed her lips, feeling helpless.
She knew her mom well; the moment she opened her mouth, she'd be spewing venom. That's how it's always been for years. She had been constantly threatening to cut ties or refusing medical treatment.
"Don’t I even get a choice?" Dorothy's voice trembled with desperation, "Just because you made a bad choice when you were young, you assume all men are like my dad?"
Though she didn't know how her dad had won her mom's heart or what their relationship was like, Dorothy believed Everett wouldn't be so irresponsible!
Everett wouldn't abandon his wife and daughter without a second thought! She trusted him.
"Are you questioning me?" Bella was taken aback. She hadn't expected so much to change overnight, "Do you think I'll harm you?"
"I don't think you'll harm me. I just wish you wouldn’t let past experiences cloud your judgement. And…” Dorothy paused, then continued, "This is my life; no matter what the outcome, I don't want any regrets."
The worst-case scenario would be misjudging someone.
Even without Everett, she could survive.
She refused to live under the shadow of a past relationship just like her mother!
"Of course you'd say that. You don't have kids! Imagine you are tricked if you have kids now. Won’t you stop your kid from making the same dumb mistake?!"
After being hurt, Bella refused to socialize or any man’s advances, and was even contemplating ending her own life. That was the dumbest thing to do. Even dumber than trusting that man in the first place!
Dorothy believed the best revenge was to live better than those who hurt you.
"How can I let go? Those two lowlifes are still alive and they keep provoking me!" Bella sneered, quickly getting back on track, "Don't think I'll compromise, including you and this Everett!"
"Mom… How about I bring Everett to meet you and then you can decide."
"I won't meet! Men never speak the truth! You think I'd believe his promises? His assurances that he'll be good to you are just empty words! If he really can't live without you, fine, let him transfer the entire Lopez Corporation under your name, then I'll believe him!"

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....
