Everett couldnât directly lay a finger on Verity Holdings Limited; that company was truly formidable, so
he had to bring them down through connections. âRoger thatâ Kevin was at his best when it came to
such tasks.
Sabotaging Verity Holdings Limited was no sweat off his brow. A few contract terminations, and it would
crumble. But since the big boss had ordered its immediate downfall, it was clear that his patience was
weaning thin
He ventured a guess that it probably had something to do with Ms. Sanchez agan
Aside from her, no one could send Mr. Lopez into a frenzy.
âYouâre in Everglow City, Kevin?â
âIndeed.â
âBring the driver you hired last time in Everglow City to Havenbrook Cityâ Everett was preparing for the
worstâcase scenario. If Dorothy insisted on thanking him in person, he needed that driver to be around.
âUnderstood!â
After hanging up the phone, Everett took off his suit jacket and unbuttoned his shirt, revealing his
muscular shoulders.
From smallps to deep bites, his body was covered in teeth marks, each tinged with remnants of dried
blood
The fabric brushing against them brought forth a dull throb, but Everett didnt want them to disappear,
he wished they could stay there forever. Because these marks were from Dorothy
She was the woman he had longed for for countless sleepless nights, the woman he couldnât stop
thinking about
So, Everett didnât apply any medicine, nor did he see a doctor. He wanted the wounds to scab over and
leave scars. He wanted them as a constant reminder of their night.
Before he could finish dressing, his phone suddenly rang
A glance at the screen revealed Jeffreyâs name
Why was he calling at this hour?
Everett frowned as he pressed the answer button.
âYou sound so serious Who pissed you off? Jeffreyâs tone was always upbeat. It was like nothing could
bother him.
âJust spit it out.â Everett slowly buttoned up his shirt as his expression returned to its usual stoc
demeanor.
I was just wondering why youâre suddenly in Havenbrook City We donât have any Lopez Corporation
projects thereâ Jeffrey was playing dumb,
He knew exactly why Everett was in Haverbrook City.
âJust taking a stroll?
âOh, youâre strolling in Dorothyâs hometown, huh? Donât hide it! Do you think I donât know you? Youâve
snuck off to Haverbrook City a few times before to reminisce, I assume. Everett, you should let go, but
sheâs alreadyâ¦â
Jeffrey always choked up at this point.
Everett waited for him to continue, but he suddenly changed the subject. âThe Lopez Corporation is
swamped with work at the moment. You really shouldnât be wasting time pining for Dorothy Plus,
everyone is gossiping about your upcoming wedding. Several shareholders have called me to inquire
about it. What should I tell them?
âThatâs my personal business.â
âSure, itâs your business, but youâre the CEO of the Lopez Corporation. If you were an ordinary man,
you could marry whoever you want, but thatâs not the case now, is it?â
âNext time someone asks, tell them to ask meâ
Jeffrey sighed. âI really donât get it. Whatâs so special about that Dorothy other than her looks? Laneâs
the same as you Havenbrook City, and Lane followed suit. Iâm starting to think you guys are in cahoots.
right now. You suddenly left for
âWho? Lane?â
âYeah! My good friend, who also had a thing for Dorothy. I just called him, and he said heâs in
Havenbrook City too.â Jeffrey suddenly realized something. âAh! Dorothyâs in Haverbrook City now,
right?â
Everett didnât respond.
