Everett's voice was a low rumble, "Just make sure you're in control."
"Yeah, you left Eldorria City?"
"At the airport."
Jeffrey clicked his tongue, "Alright, man, no stopping a lovesick fool, I guess! Since you've made up your mind, go on and do what you've gotta do. I'll keep an eye on Dorothy for you."
"Mm."
After hanging up, Jeffrey turned his gaze towards the bedroom door.
Today, even if he had to drag the city hall over here, Karen was going to become his wife.
...
In the airport's VIP lounge.
Everett put down his phone and rubbed his temples.
He hadn't slept a wink last night, just lying there beside Dorothy until dawn.
So right now, he was feeling pretty worn out.
Kevin, ever the perceptive assistant, quickly brought over a pillow and said, "Mr. Lopez, we've got an hour before boarding. Why don't you catch some sleep?"
"I’m okay. Someone's going to call."
His prediction was spot on.
Within five minutes, Jonathan's number flashed on the screen.
"I thought you said you were done interfering with this mess. Why the hell did you get Dorothy a lawyer?"
Jonathan was furious, his tone full of accusation and reproach.
"Trying to make sure no law firm will take her case, that's your strategy for burying this, huh?"
"And yet you still—"
"I've said more than once, 'Don't touch Dorothy. Stay out of anything to do with Heather.' No one listened."
If it weren't for his own mother, anyone else would've been laid to rest by now. How could he still tolerate her?
"I didn't realize Heather was that kind of person!"
"It's too late for that now." Everett's voice was hoarse from the sleepless night, "Dorothy and I are already over."
"Actually... if you could just let your mom off—"
"Do you think I have any face left to be with Dorothy?"
Everett's voice suddenly rose, each word biting and emphatic, silencing Jonathan in an instant.
"Do you have any idea how hard I've worked to win her over? More than a decade, cautiously drawing near, plotting with every ounce of my being, fearing the slightest discomfort for her! Finally, I convinced her to be my wife. Do you know how happy I was? For years, I've worked diligently for the Lopez Corporation, not a day of rest, just hoping one day I could bring her home to a family that would accept her! And what did you all do? You ruined everything!"

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....
