âUhâhuh, I got it. Could you maybe check in with Everett for me? Iâm curious about what brought him to
Havenbmok City. Was it really Dorothy?â
1snât it obvious?
The Lopez Corporation didnât have any projects in Havenbrook City currently. Even if they did,
domestic projects that werenât worth a few billion dollars werenât worth the CEOâs time.
So what else could it be?
But theyâre divorced. Didnât Everett remarry?â News of him getting married was all over the business
world.
Lane thought he had moved on.
After all, divorce usually meant there were issues between them. Now that Dorothy was flaunting her
married life with a child and Everett had announced his remarriage, Lane couldnât imagine there being
any connections left between them
He was surprised to find out that Everett came to Havenbrook City for Dorothy
Most importantly, Everett knew about Dorothy being drugged. This meant that he was either still in
contact with Dorothy or that he had someone close to her.
If it was the latter, then it was only a matter of time before Everett found out about Dorothyâs daughter.
Lane didnât even want to think about it..
Now that Dorothy claimed to be married and Everett was still protecting her, if he found out that the
child was his, what chance would Lane have left?
âBut he just made an announcement. None of us have seen the bride.â Jeffrey said cautiously. He
avoided talking too much about Everettâs personal matters for fear of repercussions.
âJeffrey do you think he might not have gotten married after all?â
1 wouldnât know that. Heâs not one to discuss everything with me.â Especially not when it came to
Dorothy
Everett believed that Jeffrey was on Heatherâs side, so naturally, he wouldnât share much
âThen did you mention anything to him when you left Everglow City? Like about Dorothy having a
child?â
âNo, didnât you tell me not to? You said it would only hurt him, and I agree. Itâs not his child, so knowing
would only cause him pain. But if he keeps this up.
Iâm thinking of telling him I should let him see how happy Dorothy has been without him: Jeffrey said
angrily
His good friend was still stuck, while Dorothy had moved on quite quickly. She not only remarried but
also had a child!
Poor Everett
He was still waiting in place, but he didnât know what exactly he was waiting for. A miracle?
âDonâtâ Lane immediately stopped him. âDonât tell him.â
âWhy are you so nervous?â Jeffrey jumped at his sudden increase in volume
âAs a man, I understand what heâs feeling. Iâm also stuck in unrequited love, remember? If I were
Everett, I wouldnât want to hear this news. It would be too painful
Jeffrey sighed. âAlright, I wonât say anything. Youâre going to Havenbrook City this time for Dorothy too,
right?â
âwonât deny it. I am going for Dorothy. But my reasons are not the same as Everettâs. Dorothy, as my
employee, is on a business trip to Havenbrook City. and now sheâs in trouble, so I have to step in.
However, the collaboration with Verity Holdings Limited fell through, and with Verity Holdings Limited
gone. weâre planning to leave.â
âHer Dorothy goes on a business trip, gets drugged, and you, the boss, personally go to handle it. You
say you donât have any ulterior motives? Who are you trying to fool?â
