Chapter 54

Dorothy didn’t say anything, which pretty much gave him his answer.

1 knew it. The name Dorothy seemed so famber”

Dorothy knew she had to switch the topic. If he dug any deeper, he would have uncovered the

scandalous events of that night!

She definitely didn’t want anyone to know about her arrangement with Everett. It would be best if

everyone thought Everett was only being nice to her because they were classmates.

“Hey, Kevin, have a look at their patent registration…

The Lopez Corporation didn’t just pretend to be charitable,

Every batch of impoverished students they sponsored was carefully selected, and their situations were

verified. They would also secretly investigate if there were any families mare in need but not on the list.

If a student had parents with severe illnessed, Everett would pay extra attention to them, trying to

ensure the student’s studies wouldn’t be affected.

At the end of the day he was quite exhausted.

As soon as he got in the car back to Haverbrook Cily, he called Dorothy.

“Hello? Mr. Loper

He knew Kevin was with her “Hmm, I want to see the due diligence report you guys did today. Bring it

to me tonight.”

“Okay”

After hanging up, Everett rubbed his forehead just as

55 Jeffrey called.

“You just dropped everything at the company and run off to Havenbrook City! So, did the girl cry her

eyes out when she found out all the things you’ve done for her?

“She won’t know”

That also included why he hadn’t followed her into the shop near the school gate. He was ahaid the

shopkeeper would have recognized him as the “young boy who gave them money.

Sometimes Everett found himself so be quite ridiculous. Weren’t his actions even more limid than

Dorothy’s cautiousness?

“Our Mr. Lopez is so noble, huh? So, when are you parning to come back? Im almost done here. Let’s

get Heather and have a good meal, and driex till we drop

“We can eal. I don’t drink.”

“Hal Its not like you’re the one who got yourself drunk!”

Everett smirked and said, “I’ve never been drunk”

When he arrived at the hotel, he went back to his sulle alone.

He knew that Dorothy had booked a separate room to avoid raising Kevin’s suspicion. She must have

been in that room right now.

He sent her a text and soon there was a discreet whack on the door

He opened the door and glanced at the documents in her hand, “You actually brought the repen.”

“I was worried Kevin night come looking for you.”

Everett smirked and started unbuttoning his shirt, mvealing his muscular figure,

Caught off guard by his sudden undressing, Dorothy blushed and quickly turned around, “Um…are you

going to take a shower?”

Seeing her flustered and shy expression, Everell chuckled and took out a new set of pajamas from his

suitcase.

He rummaged through the suitcase and asked, ‘Have you only brought one box?”

“What?”

“This.”

He walked to the bedside table and shock the empty little box.

There were contraceptives in it

“Oh, yeah…”

Did we run out of home?”

Dorothy steeled herself and shook her head, “No, I just thought you’d be tired from the trip”

Who would’ve thought he’d use up all five in one night?

Everett crossed his arms and looked at her “So, what now?”

What could she have done anyway?
