"What?!"
"You should know why Everett picked you." Heather instantly regained her noble and haughty expression. She had a slight smirk on her red lips and began looking at her condescendingly. "I'm just giving you a friendly reminder. If you don't want to hear it, just pretend I didn't say anything."
Heather's demeanor was like a wife’s when she warned her husband’s mistress.
But in reality, the name on Everett's marriage license was Dorothy.
She really wanted to retort, but the words got stuck in her throat out of fear.
Thank goodness she didn't blurt it out.
That would cause such a big misunderstanding. Why argue with Heather about these things? She didn't even like Everett, right?
...
On the way back, Dorothy was particularly quiet. She was just staring out the car window.
She used to be awkward when alone with Everett, but today was different. Today, she was silent and distant.
"Where did you go after shopping just now?" Everett's long hand rested on the steering wheel, casually talking to her while waiting for the traffic light.
"Just strolled around."
"See anything you liked?"
Dorothy shook her head. "No."
Even a tube of toothpaste at that store cost thousands. She didn’t have the courage to like anything there at all.
Everett took a deep breath, took a black card out of the driver's side armrest, and handed it to her. "Take 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...
