Everett furrowed his brow, not digging the way his dad was calling the shots on someone's future.
"I can only promise you if Dorothy ever makes it to the core of the Lopez Corporation, it's gonna be because of her own abilities.”
"If you're so certain of Dorothy's capabilities, why can't you give Heather a look-see and see what she’s done for the company? Your mom's dead set on her as a daughter-in-law, so she's gotta be a catch.”
“Heather got what she deserved for her work.”
Everett didn't feel he owed Heather jack!
Surely she'd put in a lot of elbow grease for the Lopez Corporation; but she always earned the most yearly bonuses among the entire legal department!
“I've stepped back not because I’m scared of you, but because I fear your mother's death!” Jonathan huffed, “Think about the rest yourself.”
With that, he got up and left the office.
Everett went back to his desk and glanced at his phone. A message from Dorothy was on the screen.
[Kinda tricky. Let's wait till she's discharged. How about you?]
[I'm good. I'll pick you up after work.]
[Alright.]
Looking at the "Alright" she had sent, Everett fell silent for a long time.
He wasn't sure how this whole thing was going to end, but he knew he wouldn't give up on Dorothy.
...
Just as she put down her phone, Dorothy looked up to see her mother eyeballing her.
Straight on, as if she had something to say.
“What’s up? Feeling off?”

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...
