Just as Karen was about to continue her thought, Dorothy's cell phone suddenly rang.
They both assumed it was Everett, and Dorothy even prepared herself to disconnect the call. However, the number on the screen wasn't his.
She hesitated for a moment before pressing the answer button.
A stranger's voice came through. It was a voice that Dorothy couldn't forget.
"Your mom passed away?"
It was Maxton Sanchez, her father.
"How did you know? I bet you're thrilled." Dorothy asked instinctively, then realized Heather must have told him.
"What kind of talk is that? We were still married once, you know. Where are you? I should pay my respects."
"No need!" Dorothy's voice was so sharp that it cut through the wind whistling across the deserted cemetery, making her sound even more mournful but still threatening. "I warn you, leave her alone, or else…"
Maxton chuckled. "Or what? What leverage do you have to be yelling at me now? Because you snagged a rich guy? I'm still your father, and you still carry my blood!"
"If I could, I'd give it back."
Who needed it?

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...
