If not, then she wouldnât have become a substitute, taking her place by Everettâs side.
âShe is totally nuts! What we look like is determined by the genes our parents passed on to us. Itâs not
something you can choose. Karen rolled her eyes. If ever meet someone whoâs not related to me by
blood but locks like me, Iâd be over the moon. Id wanna make her my sister. What a coincidence that
would be, right?â
Blood tiesâ¦
Karenâs casual comment made Dorothy frown deeply.
âWhatâs wrong?â
âNothingâ She shook her head.
Before Dorothy could say another word, her phone rana.
She glanced at it. It was Kevin.
âHello?â
âTell me everything that happened. I help you think of a solution. Kevin got straight to the point. thought
about it. Ms. Heather has a solid reputation within the Lopez Corporation, so no matter what her
reasons for framing you are, not many people will believe it! Your evidence needs to be rock solid.â
âYeah, I knowâ
âMr. Lopez already knows about this. Heâs in a tough spot. On one hand, he wants to trust you and
back you because of your good friendship, and on the other, Ms. Heather is a valuable asset to the
Lopez Corporation. You might not understand how important she is. She represented the corporation in
many major lawsuits and won all of them.â
Dorothy pulled a wry smile. âI get it. If the problem lies with me, the Lopez Corporation can easily fire
me with little to no consequences. They can blame it on a bit of bad hiring. But if the truth comes out
that Heather deliberately framed me, the Lopez Corporation might not fire Heather, right?â
âYou have to understand Mr. Lopezâs situation. Hes actually been very considerate of you. Firing Ms.
Heather would be a big deal. Not only would the corporation lose a major asset but theyâd also have to
worry about the possibility of Ms. Heather working for another company and becoming a threat.â
Because Heatherâs capabilities were well known, many companies would be eager to have her.
And while this incident could be devastating for Dorothy, an investment banking assistant, it wouldnât be
a big deal for a lawyer like Heather.
She could easy fabricate any reason against Darathy,
She could even use her dislike of Dorothy as a reason.
At most, people might just start saying she liked to pick on newbies.
âSo, should I, the victim, just let myself be manipulated?â
â
âIâm not saying that. Iâm just analyzing the situation for you.â Kevin sighed. âDonât blame Mr. Lopez for
not being loyal. Because of your situation, he even skipped a contact signing this maming. He probably
went back to Eldora City overightâ
Everett also came back to Eldonia City?
Grandeur Mansion.
Amanda got up early in the morning and started exercising in the courtyard.
Even though i was a bit far from the city, it was surrounded by plants, and the air was exceptionally
fresh. It was a great place for recuperation.
âYouâve been exercising for 20 minutes. You should take a break donât tire yoursell out Heather,
dressed for work, quickly walked over to support her.
Amanda smiled. âIm fine, but I feel sorry for you. Staying with me in the suburbs every day and having
to get up early to drive to work. It must be a hassleâ
Tm doing this so I can spend more time with you. If Everett doesnât have time, I canât just leave you
alone.â
âOK. I know youâre the best!â
As soon as Amanda finished happily praising Heather they both saw a black car driving into the
courtyard.
âIsnât that Everestâs car? Didnât he say he wouldnât be back for a few days?â
Heatherâs hand clenched subtly, and her smile stiffened. âYeah. Looks like he came back earlyâ
