The moment Dorothy was mentioned, Everett seemed to put himself on mute.
Jeffrey rolled his eyes. âYou donât believe me, do you? I took photos just in case you wouldnât believe
me! Iâll send them to you right now!â
âNo need âEverett finally said, âThey are together and itâs normal for them to do so. Is there anything
else?â
Everettâs sudden calmness and his placid way of speaking slightly surprised Jeffrey!
He mistook that Everett would rush to confront hert
But that wasnt a scene he wanted to witness.
âNo, nothing elseâ
âThereâs a morning meeting soon, and donât be late. With that. Everett hung up.
Jeffrey clicked his tongue, tossing his phone aside.
Driving to the office, he walked in to see Heather discussing something with their team.
Jeffrey intended to act as if he hadnât seen her but Heather had other plans
âWait upââ
Failing his escape attempt, Jeffrey had no choice but to stop. âWhat is it?â
âOf course thereâs something! Iâm asking about that child. Heather mentioned this first, surprising
Jeffrey a bit.
He crossed his arms, looking at her, âI havenât found him yet. Do you have any news?â
Heather furrowed her brow sightly. âWhere would I get any news? I just show some of my concerns.
Everettâs parents are very womed about this, so we canât just give up because of difficulties for the time
beingâ
âYou told his parents, didnât you?â Jeffrey wasnât a fool. Only Heather would be the one to tell them.
âYes.â Heather didnât deny it, âSince the child belongs to Everett, he should be taken back by the Lopez
family sooner or later, so I had to prepar his parents mentaly! Look, Amanda isnât getting better, and
she canât handle any more stress!â
âThey havent even had a DNA test yet. No one can say if heâs Everetts, so why do you tell them in
haste?â.
Heather just smiled. She had to be proactive about it.
The less she cared and evaded, the less people would suspect her!
She hadnât thought things through when she framed Dorothy before, resulting in a strained relationship
with Everett, She couldnât afford to make any mistakes this time.
âIâve seen the surveillance, and thereâs no doubt that heâs Everettâs.â
âWait.â Jeffrey suddenly interrupted, âHow come you seem so willing to accept this childâs existence
overight? Werenât you making a fuss before?â
Heather paused, then sighed deeply.
âI was unable to accept it at first, which is understandable. After thinking it over since itâs already
happened and the child is here. I have no choice but to accept it! We cant just make the child
disappear.â
Jeffrey listened to her explanation, which made sense but sounded weird.
âAlright, you donât need to overthink it. If you find out anything about the child, just let me know! itâs not
me asking, itâs Everettâs parentsâ
With that, Heather waved her hand and left
Jeffrey stood there and watched her leave, tugging at the comer of his mouth.
Somethingâs not right
He was about to head to his office when his phone suddenly rang
Looking down, he found an unfamiliar number,
A virtual number.
He answered it. A young and childish voice was heard on the other end
âHello, this is Langston.â
âLangston?! Where are you now?â
