GoodReadIf not, then she wouldn't have become a substitute, taking her place by Everett's side.
"She is totally nuts! What we look like is determined by the genes our parents passed on to us. It's not something you can choose." Karen rolled her eyes. "If | ever meet someone who's not related to me by blood but looks like me, I'd be over the moon. I'd wanna make her my sister. What a coincidence that would be, right?" Blood ties...
Karen's casual comment made Dorothy frown deeply.

Before Dorothy could say another word, her phone rang.
She glanced at it. It was Kevin.
"Hello?" "Tell me everything that happened. I'll help you think of a solution." Kevin got straight to the point. "I thought about it. Ms. Heather has a solid reputation within the Lopez Corporation, so no matter what her reasons for framing you are, not many people will believe it! Your evidence needs to be rock solid." "Yeah, | know." "Mr. Lopez already knows about this. He's in a tough spot. On one hand, he wants to trust you and back you because of your good friendship, and on the other, Ms. Heather is a valuable asset to the Lopez Corporation. You might not understand how important she is. She represented the corporation in many major lawsuits and won all of them." Dorothy pulled a wry smile. "I get it. If the problem lies with me, the Lopez Corporation can easily fire me with little to no consequences. They can blame it on a bit of bad hiring. But if the truth comes out that Heather deliberately framed me, the Lopez Corporation might not fire Heather, right?" "You have to understand Mr. Lopez's situation. He's actually been very considerate of you. Firing Ms. Heather would be a big deal. Not only would the corporation lose a major asset, but they'd also have to worry about the possibility of Ms. Heather working for another company and becoming a threat." Because Heather's capabilities were well known, many companies would be eager to have her.
And while this incident could be devastating for Dorothy, an investment banking assistant, it wouldn't be a big deal for a lawyer like Heather.
She could easily fabricate any reason against Dorothy.
She could even use her dislike of Dorothy as a reason.
At most, people might just start saying she liked to pick on newbies.

"Don't blame Mr. Lopez for not being loyal. Because of your situation, he even skipped a contract signing this morning. He probably went back to Eldorria City overnight.” Everett also came back to Eldorria City? Grandeur Mansion.
Amanda got up early in the morning and started exercising in the courtyard.
Even though it was a bit far from the city, it was surrounded by plants, and the air was exceptionally fresh. It was a great place for recuperation.
"You've been exercising for 20 minutes. You should take a break; don't tire yourself out." Heather, dressed for work, quickly walked over to support her.
Amanda smiled. "I'm fine, but | feel sorry for you. Staying with me in the suburbs every day and having to get up early to drive to work. It must be a hassle." "I'm doing this so | can spend more time with you. If Everett doesn't have time, | can't just leave you alone.” "OK. I know you're the best!" As soon as Amanda finished happily praising Heather, they both saw a black car driving into the courtyard.
"Isn't that Everett's car? Didn't he say he wouldn't be back for a few days?" Heather's hand clenched subtly, and her smile stiffened. "Yeah. Looks like he came back early."
