GoodReadIn order not to make Everett think she was throwing a tantrum, she thought about it and texted him back a simple "Hmm" before finally putting down her phone to sleep.
Somehow, that night, she dreamed of the scene when her father admitted to cheating on her mother and having an illegitimate daughter.
"Yes, she's about the same age as Dorothy. Not even a year after you were pregnant, she was found to be pregnant too. If you're willing to accept them, both mother and daughter, then we don't have to get a divorce. | promise, from now on, you two will be the only women in my life. | won't look for a third one. Who would let you occupy the position of the wife, but you can’t even give birth to a son?! Fine, if you don’t agree to a divorce, then you can live as a widow!” At that time, Dorothy was very young. Her mother, Bella, had her back to her, so she couldn't see her expression.
What struck her most were these sentences and the look of disgust in her father's eyes when he saw her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLater, her mother attempted to commit suicide by jumping off a building in a fit of anger. She reached out to grab her mother, but was tripped by a chair and couldn't grasp her clothes.
Suddenly, Dorothy opened her eyes.
She was panting heavily, and it took a while to recover from the dream.
"Are you awake?" Karen was right next to her, staring at her with wide eyes.
It seemed that Karen was afraid Dorothy would do something stupid, so she stayed and slept in the same bed. "My brother is on his way here." Upon hearing this, Dorothy hurriedly got up to clean up.
Just as she finished getting ready, the doorbell rang.
Kenneth brought three friends this time. Although they didn't look like much, they worked wonders with Dorothy's phone.
Apart from the blocked and destroyed information, almost all the messages were recovered.
"Is there any way to get the recording of the call Heather made to me?" Dorothy knew this was nearly impossible, but she asked anyway.
One of the men, who was tall and skinny, pursed his lips. "It's tough. Too much time has passed.” "If Henry says it can't be done, it probably can't. But you can still find the deleted message.” Another short and skinny man pointed to a bunch of data codes on the computer. "This should be the one that was deleted. The person who texted you was prepared. This message wasn't deleted by hacking into your phone system. Instead, it was set to be automatically deleted after being read." Even though Dorothy knew Heather was prepared, she still felt a chill run down her spine when she heard this.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe trusted Heather completely at the time. She even genuinely thanked her for working overtime on the SinoSuccess Enterprises project contract. But behind her back, Heather had already planned to frame her.
"But recovering this message doesn't prove it was Heather who sent it to you." Kenneth was quick to point out the key issue.
Dorothy had thought about this too. If Heather had planned this out meticulously, she could have anticipated that Dorothy might recover the text message.
"But at least it shows that someone had asked me for the core technical blueprint during that period." "Dorothy, what exactly is the issue between you and Ms. Heather? She seems determined to crush you." Even Karen, who was watching from the side, felt terrified.
She had seen Heather's photos a few times before and thought she was a gentle and likable girl who was good at her job and worth admiring. But then she turned around and framed her best friend.
What a bitch! "I don't know." Dorothy pressed her lips together. "Maybe... she just hates the fact that we look alike.”
