It was nothing like she had expected!
His explanations were clearly evasive, and that sent Dorothy's heart racing.
She thought all she had to do was bring it up, and Everett would be thrilled, nodding in agreement without hesitation! She even fantasized he'd be so eager that he’d bring her to the city hall the very next day!
Compared to her daydreams, his actual response was worlds apart.
"When we got hitched last time, Dorothy, it was all in a rush, and I don't want to live with regrets. You're not in the best of health right now, so you need to recuperate. Once you're better, I'll get cracking on planning our wedding, okay?"
"Is it really just because I'm not well?" she pressed.
"What else do you think it could be?"
Dorothy pursed her lips, silently telling herself to trust him.
"It's just... I was worried you might've changed your mind, that you didn't want to marry me after all." She smiled, pulled him closer, and planted a kiss on the corner of his mouth.
Everett wrapped his arms around her, deepening the kiss, "Remember, Dorothy, you're the only woman I, Everett, want to marry. That was true in the past, it's true now, and it'll be true forever."
...
Jeffrey had Quincy go without food for three days.
Since neither scolding nor shouting worked, starvation seemed the only option.
But even after Quincy fainted and was rushed to the hospital, she still wouldn't hand over the antidote!
This time, she really had Everett's fate in her hands.
And she won the gamble.
"Quincy, here's your phone." Kevin personally delivered her luggage to the hospital.
"Thanks." Quincy, now a bit better after receiving IV fluids, took her phone with a cold expression.
Otherwise he couldn't possibly be here just because he was concerned about his daughter's safety, right?
Ronin arrived quickly, his steps heavy as if laden with anger. He stormed in, heading straight for Quincy on the bed.
"SMACK—"
A loud slap just landed on Quincy's face like that.
Instantly, a handprint, bright red and clearly defined, appeared on her cheek.
"You had to cross the Lopez family? Are you trying to drag our whole family to our downfall?!"
After his outburst, Ronin, still fuming, raised his hand to strike again but noticed the IV needle in Quincy's hand.
"Don't think you can fake being sick and hide in this hospital! Get in touch with Jonathan right now and tell him our family won't break our promise. We'll marry you off to Everett as agreed!"

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....
