Was it possible that Dorothy had somehow crossed someone?
"Did you instruct anyone to harm Dorothy?"
"I would never—" Jonathan's words cut off abruptly mid-sentence.
His thoughts had raced to what Quincy had told him.
To make his son agree to marry her within three days, she'd surely need to pull some strings.
Targeting Everett directly would be too difficult.
But finding a weakness through Dorothy? That would be much easier and a precise way to manipulate Everett.
If Quincy was behind this, Jonathan had to admit he was impressed by the girl's boldness. He had pegged her as naive and simple, but she turned out to be quite daring.
"I didn't have a hand in it anyway. You should look into others," Jonathan chose not to share his suspicions. And he didn't want to say it out loud.
After all, as long as the end goal was achieved, he couldn't care less about Dorothy's fate.
Everett hung up without a word.
Returning to his room, he found Dorothy awake. She looked incredibly weak and even her lips were drained from color, "Everett..."
"I'm here." He gently pulled her into his embrace, soothingly stroking her back, "Dorothy, have you noticed anything unusual about anyone you've been in contact with lately?"
Unusual?
Dorothy chuckled weakly, "Since I left my job, you know everyone I've been in contact with. If I had to say there was something unusual, it might be... you."
"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...
