Dorothyâs worst fear was Kennethâs affectionate persistence. As a result, she insisted on covering all of
Langstonâs expenses abroad, including a monthly stipend for Kenneth.
If he didnât agree to this, she wouldnât allow Kenneth to take care of Langston.
Yet, despite all this, she still felt she was holding Kenneth back!
âKenneth, you need to live your own life; you canât keep revolving around me.â
Karen, who had overheard the conversation, sighed and walked over, âDorothy, let him take care of it.
We all know what kind of person he is! Even his parents canât convince him.â
âYeah, I feel fulfilled taking care of Langston; itâs kind of my joy! If you donât let me be with him, Iâll feel
like Iâve lost my purpose in life.â Kenneth didnât know how to express himself.
He had known for years that he and Dorothy would never be together.
But sometimes, giving became a habit, and over the years, he had grown accustomed to treating
Langston as his own child.
Kenneth had even thought that if he had Langston, he wouldnât need his own child.
âKenneth, youâre the only child your parents have. If not for your sake, think about them! What will they
do?â
Kenneth had thought about it, but he couldnât convince himself to accept any other woman.
âForget it, Dorothy, let my brother come with us!â
Dorothy glanced at Karen, âButâ¦â
âIâll talk to him in private.â Karen patted her shoulder, indicating that she shouldnât waste time on this
and should leave Eldorria City as soon as possible.
Right now, avoiding Everett was paramount.
âAlright.â Dorothy knew that this was not something that could be resolved in a short time, and that only
he could come to terms with it.
As Dorothy began to pack, Karen played with the two children.
It was only when it started to get dark that Kenneth drove over in a borrowed car.
âWe can go now. The car belongs to a friend of mine, and no one should be able to trace it!â
âOkay.â Holding a sleeping Abigail and accompanied by Langston, Dorothy hurriedly got into the car.
Once she confirmed the house was empty, Karen sat in the passenger seat.
From the moment he got into the car, Langston had been focusing on his phone.
No one could understand what he was looking at, but he seemed to be engrossed in a bunch of data.
âLangston, what are you looking at?â Dorothy couldnât help but ask.
âItâs data from the Lopez Corporation! Mommy, look, this is the project departmentâs recent expenditure,
and hereâs the ROI.â
Dorothy only then took a closer look at the numbers on the screen.
âWhy are you looking at this, Langston?â
âI want to find a weakness in the Lopez Corporation! I canât believe they donât have a single
vulnerability.â
Langston had researched countless companies before this, always finding something unusual. He
didnât believe that the Lopez Corporation was completely invincible.
âLangston, donât push against the Lopez Corporation.â
âBut they bullied you! Mommy, I need to protect you!â
Just as Dorothy was about to respond, her phone rang.
She looked down.
That number looked familiar.
