Chapter 46

Karen really didn’t disappoint this time

Tm going on a business trip tomorrow. Ill bring this up with my boss when I get back. This really is a

solid project”

In no time a reply came. “You’re going on a bus ness trip tomorrow too?

“Yeah To Havenbrook”

“What a coincidence! I’m heading to Haverbrock tomorrow too. I’ve been invited to give a talk at

Techopolis University. If you’re free. let’s meet up. I’d love to chat more about this project

This was sudden. Dorothy didn’t know if he just wanted to talk about work or if Karen had a hand in this

and had some ulterior motives. But the project did seem really promising.

She couldn’t afford to miss out on the project just because

was suspicious.

Alter a moment of thought she replied, “Sure. We’ll keep in touch”

After she put down her phone, Dorothy went into the bathroom. When she came out, she saw an

unread message on her phone. It was not from WhatsApp.

When she opened it, she saw that the number was anonymous.

“I heard you’ve been a sugar baby for some rich guy. How do you Think your r mom would react?”

It hit Dorothy like a bucket of ice cold water.

She knew instantly that it was from her dad’s mistress. She was unable to wreak havoc at her mom’s

hospital, so she decided to mess with Durotly instead.

“What the hell do you want?”

you can get your mom to agree to the divorce, I won’t tell her about this”

Dorothy was so furious that she started shaking. She had never thought someone could be so

shameless.

That woman had been the mistress for over twerty years, and she was still plotting to forse the wife to

divorce?

And yet, she was genuinely womed about her mom finding out.

If the news of her contract mamage got out, her mom would definitely refuse to have the surgery She

could even have mare health Issues due to the emotional stress.

Since Dorally didn’t reply, the mistress added. “Dor’t think I’m bluffing.

Ing. I mean what I say.”

Everett came in and saw Dorothy’s troubled expression. He walked over and touched her shoulder

lightly. “What’s wrong?

She was steriled and instinctively hid the messages on her phone. “No, nothing.”

‘Dorothy, I think you should tell your friends that you’re married now.”

She was taken aback and caught off guard by his sudden seriousness. “Huh? But shell definitely ask

more questions. I’m not good at making up stones, let alone fabricating a whole person.

She knew Karen too well. She wouldn’t rest until she knew everything about her husband. There was

no way she could fool her with some made–up person.

“Then just tell her Everell’s eyes were fixed on her face, as if he were trying to read something from it.

“Tell her what?‘ Dorothy’s instinctive response showed that she had never considered bringing their

marriage into the open

After a few secmics of silence, Everett asked, frowning, “So, I’m not good enough to be seen?”

“But our contract only lasts for a year.. She’d have to explain the divorce then.

Dorothy analyzed rationally. “I know you don’t like Karen introducing me to guys. You’re worried about

me having ambiguous relationships during our contract period, which might affect you physically. Don’t

worry; I have absolutely no intentions in that direction.

If you think my word isn’t enough, we can add a penally clause to the consact. I have no objections.”

She had thought deeply about what Everett meant when he said about his cleanliness obsession.

Basically he couldn’t accept sharing a woman with other men.

Especially since he saw her as a stand–in for his true love, his concern was quite understandable.

Actually. Dorothy had only been intimate with him so far. But she didn’t want to tell him that he was her

first, since it felt like moral kidnapping.

Everett took a deep breath. “Let’s wait a bit more”

Maybe he was being too impatient.
