"To clear your name, you need evidence. Kenneth's trust in you isn’t enough to save you." "I know. That's why I'm going to gather evidence." With that, Dorothy yanked the car door handle with her eyebrows furrowed. "Unlock the door.” "According to your logic, you need to get Heather herself admitting it or direct proof she ordered you to send the blueprint. Going to Regal Dominion Ventures is pointless. They're adamant the blueprints were their own work." In the industry, Regal Dominion Ventures was notorious. Everyone knew what kind of company they were.
Dorothy going there would be fruitless, and if someone snapped a photo or video of her there, it would only add fuel to the fire.

"l can't." "So, it's all useless. | need to figure it out myself." Dorothy knew the road ahead was tough, but she had no choice but to move forward.
Any shred of evidence would help.
She couldn't just sit around and wait for the worst to happen.
"Calm down and listen to me." Everett reached out and grasped her slender wrist. "I'll figure something out. You're being impulsive and might make the wrong decision. Let me handle it. You need to take a break." "Am | taking a break? Or... am | forever leaving the investment banking industry?" She shot back.
Her every word felt like a dagger piercing his heart.
"I've told you, if you're innocent, no one can frame you." "But | am innocent! And how many people are trying to frame me? Today, | went to the Prosperity Consortium. I'm not deaf; | heard their whispers. They were saying I'm desperate for money and that I'm ungrateful for betraying the company! I... I didn't...
| really didn't!" Dorothy's voice broke as she lost control of her emotions.

She didn't want anyone to see her crying.
She could bear hardships and suffering, but being unfairly accused was unbearable.
Unfortunately, she was no match for Heather.
It was like an egg going up against a rock. Even if the rock started it, the one to shatter would always be the egg.
Dorothy was that egg.
Everett remained silent. He simply listened to her soft cries, then handed her a tissue.
After a while, he said, "After all this, I'll arrange for you to move to another branch.” Dorothy stiffened and lifted her head to look at him with red-rimmed eyes. "Even if | find evidence, | still have to move to a branch office?" She had worked so hard to secure a position at the headquarters. She had been working diligently and conscientiously for so long. Now she had to avoid Heather because of her plot? "You've always wanted to be an investment director. You'd get to lead a team at the branch office.” "Everett." Dorothy cut him off. "I don't need you to arrange anything for me. Our agreement doesn't specify that | have to work at the Lopez Corporation.” He frowned as his grip on her hand tightened. "You want to quit?" "I haven't thought about it. At least not now. | won't leave the Lopez Corporation when I've done nothing wrong. If | leave now, wouldn't that be the same as admitting guilt?" So, she decided that she would go to work as usual at the headquarters tomorrow. She wouldn't listen to Everett's advice to take a break.
