âItâs none of your businessâ Again, he spoke to her coldly.
Heather could never understand Everett What did she lack? When it came to her feelings for him and
her contributions to the Lopez Corporation, how was she any less than Dorothy?!
He was supposed to be hers!
In his office, Everett had just sat down when Kevin messaged him that everything was arranged.
He opened his laptop and quickly scanned the documents on the screen. His gaze uncontrollably fell
on the report from the branch office about the Everglow Cityâs Resort project.
Had the project entered its second phase already?
How was her injury healing?
Had Kenneth been visiting her in the hospital?
As he thought about this, a selfâmocking smirk appeared on Everettâs thin lips. He felt unbearably
pathetic, more so than he had when he was trying to win Dorothy over.
What was even more humiliating was that he was simultaneously taking out his phone and dialing
Jeffreyâs number.
After a few rings, Jeffery picked up Whatâs up? Canât handle the company on your own?
Everett rubbed his forehead in frustration. It seemed like the words he wanted to say got stuck in his
throat
From the other end of the line, the sounds of an airport announcement could be heard.
âYouâre leaving Everglow City?â
âYeah, thereâs not much left to do here I need to get back to help you out at the company
Everett drummed his fingertips on his desk. He remained silent until Jeffrey thought he had hung up.
Then he finally spoke in a low voices Dorothy⦠Is she healed?â
âOh, so thatâs what you wanted to ask!â Jeffrey exclaimed, âSheâs doing great! Sheâs swimming through
the company like a fish in water. Many male superiors are relentlessly chasing her, just like you. It
seems more than a few are pouring their hearts out for her. Anyone wanting to care for her would have
to get in line.â
âJeffrey, Iâm being serious.â
âAnd Iâm answering seriously Dorothyâs injury is healed, and sheâs back on the project. Sheâs thriving in
her career and swimming happily in love. Not only has she married, but in the second year after your
divorce, she..â
Jeffreyâs statement hang in the ar
He suddenly remembered what Lane had said to him, which made a lot of sense
Since he knew how much his good friend, Everett, cared about Dorothy, he realized that if he found out
that she had not only married in a hurry but also had a daughter, his mental state would definitely take
a hit.
So why bother telling him?
âAnd then what?â
âAnd then she forgot about you? Jeffrey sighed as he gave him advice. âEverett, youâre so outstanding
that the line of women wanting to chase you could reach all the way to France. Let go of Dorothy. You
heard it yourself, she openly declared her love for her husband. You canât possibly want to be the
homewrecker, right?â
Everett was silent. He didnât utter a single word. He hung up after nearly a minute.
Jeffrey didnât need to tell him this. He had already repeated it to himself countless times. But it seemed
not to work.
Suddenly, the ringing of a phone broke the silence in the office.
Everett glanced at his phone instinctively, realizing it wasnât his that was ringing, but another one.
He lit up the screen, revealing an unread message on WhatsApp.
It was a message from Dorothy.
[Hello, sir, Iâm the owner of the car that you bumped into in Everglow City. My car has been repaired,
and Iâve refunded the remaining money to you. Hereâs a photo of the receipt)
Along with it, a picture of her holding the receipt was attached.
This must be her personal WhatsApp. Everett could see the wound on Dorothyâs finger when he
zoomed into the picture.
