Dorothy could hardly believe the man in front of her was the same person she knew. It was as if he'd been possessed by some mischievous spirit!
If anyone from the Lopez Corporation saw him now, lounging about like some kind of loafer, they'd rub their eyes in disbelief.
Come on, this was Mr. Lopez, the embodiment of self-restraint and icy composure, who had managed to stay scandal-free despite the turbid world of business that he thrived in!
"Is this all you think about when I'm around?"
"With you by my side, it's impossible to think of anything else."
Just as Dorothy was about to respond, there was another knock on the door.
She opened the door and found Jonathan standing there. His lips twitched into a faint, emotionless smile upon seeing her. "How's Everett doing?"
"Dr. Quincy said he's doing great. He'll be off the monitors by tomorrow." Of course, Dorothy didn't mention the little incident of Everett unstitching his wound.
They were all adults, and they all knew what that's about…
Jonathan nodded, then spoke in a hushed tone, "Could you please spare us a few minutes? I need to have a word with him alone."
"Sure."
Without suspicion, Dorothy moved to leave.
Everett suddenly spoke up from the hospital bed, "There's nothing that she shouldn't hear."
He was done with their misunderstandings. It was better to let her hear things firsthand than to leave her guessing.
Dorothy was a very insecure woman. The more he kept from her, the more unsettled she’d feel.
Jonathan was no doubt not fond of such an attitude of his son’s.
Only that decisive, ruthless Everett could navigate the battlegrounds in the commercial world, not some doting lover distracted by a woman's presence. Didn't he just put a target on his back?

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...
