"Yes, Hayden."
Lane narrowed his eyes as he watched Hayden's actions. He sensed that there was more to the story than Hayden was letting on.
Normally, if Dorothy had really left in the middle of their meeting, she would have at least said something. Wouldn't Hayden have gone looking for her when she didn't return? Why did he leave instead?
He must have left because he had something to hide.
As Hayden turned around, he met Lane's probing gaze. He quickly averted his eyes, looking somewhat guilty.
"When Ms. Sanchez gets back, I need to take her to the hospital for a blood test. I need to see what kind of liquor you've really been serving her."
A blood test?
Hayden panicked.
"Isn't that a bit extreme? What's the point of a blood test? I just served her some fine wine, nothing more."
"Who knows what else was in that wine? I bet there was something that shouldn't have been there." Lane scoffed. "We're both veterans in the business world. We know the tricks of the trade. I sent Ms. Sanchez to you because I trusted you. I thought there wouldn’t be any incidents, but you went ahead and got my employee drunk. I have to investigate this."
With that, Lane made to leave.
Hayden quickly blocked his way with a forced smile on his face. "Look, I did my best to find her! I didn't do anything to her! I just served her some wine!"
"I'll know for sure once I check."
"Come on, Lane. We're both businessmen. We'll need to cooperate in the future. Don't take this too far!" Hayden's expression changed, and his eyes darkened. "I said I didn't do anything. You've got to save me some dignity."
"You messed with my employee, and you want me to save you some dignity?"
"She’s just a project director… Ah!"
Before Hayden could finish speaking, Lane landed a punch on him.
Hayden staggered back and hit the wall. "Lane, you're throwing punches over a woman?!"
"I told you already that she's my employee. It seems you still don't understand."
So, it wasn't just him who wanted to take down Verity Holdings Limited.
...
Inside a black Bentley, Everett coldly delegated tasks to his employees.
He was only in Havenbrook City temporarily, so a lot of his instructions had to be given online.
Kevin called at this moment. "Mr. Lopez, everything's been taken care of."
"Good. I want Verity Holdings Limited to disappear completely."
When Everett picked up Dorothy yesterday, he truly thought she was just drunk. But when she started acting crazy later, he realized that it wasn't that simple.
The wine definitely had something in it.
There was no need to guess what else happened. Who else would serve Dorothy spiked wine?

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....
