She was a real sweet tooth, her plump cheeks reminiscent of freshly baked dinner rolls, framing a pair of big, sparkling eyes.
"Staying with your Aunt Karen, huh..." Everett's voice sank, speaking more to himself than anyone else, "You'll see her soon."
...
The first time Heather laid eyes on Lane, she was struck with a moment of stunned silence, quickly followed by a surge of jealousy.
Why did all the men around Dorothy have to be so outstanding?
On her way over, she had done her homework on Lane. Although his background and assets couldn't touch Everett's, he was still considered a rising star, with a chiseled face of mixed heritage, a tall and slender frame, and a resume that was nothing short of impressive.
And there she was, having hit the books hard for over a decade, striving for perfection in everything, confident that in both appearance and capability she was no less than Dorothy. So why wasn't there a man out there scheming to court her?
"Ms. Garcia, pleasure to meet you."
Lane had secured a private booth, and even booked the surrounding areas just to ensure their conversation remained confidential.
As Heather took her seat, she offered a polite smile, "Hello."
"I've heard about Mr. Lopez's chief legal eagle, tirelessly dedicating herself to the Lopez Corporation. I never imagined I'd have the honor of meeting you today."
"There's no need for all that flattery. We both know why we're here. Just get to the point," Heather said, her mind cluttered with a myriad of issues, leaving no room for small talk.
Lane smiled, pulled out his phone, and showed her a photo.

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...
