Evert knew that Dorothy had bome his child, and as a father, he was obligated to take responsibility to
marry Dorothy.
But Dorothy, she would never marry him!
Everettâs parentsâ reaction to this news was something Jeffrey didnât dare to think about.
Before, he thought they were just fond of Heather and wanted her to be their daughter in law, as simple
as that! But ever since he suspected them of being the force behind the death of Dorothyâs mother,
Jeffrey didnât see it that way anymore.
Apparently, anyone standing in their way had to be removed!
Dorothyâs child would face a grim fate. Heather would be a terrible stepmother, and Dorothy was not
accepted by the Lopez family. This was a dilemma, and it suddenly loomed before Everett.
Choosing Dorothy would mean Everettâs mother could fall ill and pass away at any time, and Everett
would lose the woman who had raised him all his life.
But to save his mother, he would have to abandon Dareth
In this situation, all Jeffrey could do was pray that the child really wasnât Dorothyâs, or perhaps the child
wasnât Everettâs at all! At least the current balance could be maintained.
Heather hailed a taxi
She first went to the Lopez Corporation, sorted out her files in the office, and clocked in before leaving
the company
She got into another car before dialing a virtual number on her phone
âAre you sure you wonât be found our?â
âI know what Iâm doing donât worry! Donât forget my money The voice on the other end was also
synthetic.
Heather scoffed. âYouâre only interested in money Donât worry, you wonât miss a cent. Whereâs the child
now?â
âIn a place only I know aboutâ
âDonât let anyone find you Iâve paid you plenty to keep your mouth shut, so donât make trouble for meâ
She had already transferred the money to his account
When it came to these mullers, she always paid promptly, never owing anything!
After a few seconds, the other person replied, âGot it. But this childâ¦are you sure itâs not Everettâs?
Looks just like him.â
âAbsolutely not his! How could you get Everettâs child so easily? Thatâs the future heir of the Lopez
Corporation! This impostor is trying to create confusion and blackmail the Lopez family! You must have
heard that the chairman of the Lopez Corporation and his wife, Amanda, have always only recognized
me as their daughterâinâlaw, so how could they allow another woman to bear a chid for the Lopez
family?â
âBut I donât want to mess with the Lopez family.â
To be precise, no one wanted to mess with the Lopez family
It wasnât a problem that could be resolved with money it was practically asking for trouble.
âWhat are you afraid of with me here? Everything of the Lopez family has long been in my grasp. I have
been laying low for so many years, and the things Iâve done for the Lopez family are unmatchedâ
The man laughed. âWhen will you be publicly acknowledged by Everett? I heard he..â
âThatâs none of your business! Heâs busy and doesnât want to rush the wedding. Thatâs why thereâs
been no preparation. But hasnât the engagement been announced? He announced it himself?
âSo the mystenous bride everyoneâs talking about is you?
âWho else could it be?â Heather retorted.
The man chuckled, âOkay, what are you planning to do with the child?â
Heather was silent for a while before she spoke, âHow much to get rid of this child?â
