Panic struck Heather as she desperately pounded against the barrier in front of her.
“Oh, come on, Amanda! You’ve got to help me! Everett is mine, he belongs to me!”
“You know, Jonathan would still be fond of you if you didn’t mess this up. I’ve sung your praises to him more times than I can count. But you just had to go and let yourself down! Did you ever think about me when you were plotting your tragedy with Everett? He’s the only son I have! ”
Did Heather ever think about her, seeing her only boy covered in blood, lying in an ambulance? The mere thought made Amanda's hands tremble uncontrollably.
Heather pledged hastily, “There won’t be a next time! I swear I’ll take good care of him. I’ll handle his business affairs, and I won’t hurt him anymore, Amanda… I truly regret it!”
“Regret won’t fix anything now. Just stay put for the time being. If I can smooth things over with Jonathan, I’ll let you out. If not… well, you might just have to pay with your life.”
Amanda was about to leave with that. She felt utterly disappointed about Heather.
How many times had she gone against the wishes of her husband and son to support Heather? "Take your time," she had always advised, "the Lopez family only recognizes you as their daughter-in-law. What do you have to fear?"
Heather, who realized she was truly going to be left to her own devices, suddenly called out, “Amanda! You remember what happened with Dorothy’s mom, don’t you?”
Amanda froze, then slowly turned to face her, “What now, you want to threaten me?”

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...
