GoodReadThroughout the meal, Dorothy had half a mind to ask him what the hell he meant by what he just said. But in the end, she kept it all bottled up inside.
Right now, she should be going all out to find evidence, not getting distracted by these wild thoughts.
After dinner, Everett got dragged away by a phone call.
But before that, he made sure to drop Dorothy back at Karen's place. However, like a broken record, he repeated that she had to move back to Bay Residence by tomorrow at the latest.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter returning to her room, her mind was a mess. She couldn't make heads or tails of anything.
Suddenly, her phone rang.
It was Bella.
"Back from your business trip?" "Uh-huh, but work's been crazy, so | haven't had a chance to come and see you." Bella chuckled. "You do your thing. If you don't have time, there's no need to come see me. I'm still kicking!" Dorothy didn't tell her mom about what happened. She didn’t want another person to worry about it.
"Just wait till | sort out everything here, then I'll come over." "Bring Kenneth along then. I've got something to tell him. You've been so busy; he should be more understanding.” Dorothy paused, not saying a word.
She'd planned to tell her mom everything after her surgery. But she didn't have the energy to deal with her mom right now. She just wanted to find the evidence ASAP.
"He's also swamped. | don't want to bother him." "You shouldn't think like that! A man needs to be kept busy, not idle, so you can see through his actions if he truly cares about you." All Dorothy could do was sigh at her mom's preaching.
"l got it." "Why do | get the feeling you're tired today? Dorothy, did something happen?” Bella finally sensed something was off.
Dorothy didn’t want to say anything, but then she changed her mind.
"Mom, have you ever seen that woman before?" Suddenly, she was met with silence on the other end.

"| just want to see what she looks like. I've never met her before.” "What would she look like? She's just a sly fox! Same goes for her daughter!" Bella's anger shot up at the mention of this. "Don't make me remember what she looks like. It makes me sick!" Dorothy tried to put on a brave face. "Mom, do you think... Could I look a bit like that bastard child?" After all, they share the same father. There should be some similarities, right? "Do they even match? Ha!" Dorothy knew she wouldn't get anything else out of her mom, and she didn’t want to arouse suspicion, so she dropped it.
"Mom, you rest well. I've got things to do." "Alright, remember to take care of yourself and eat.” Dorothy hummed in agreement a few times, then hung up.
She felt like the reason Heather framed her might not be just because of Everett.
There might be other grudges involved.
Dorothy sat in a daze for a while before dialing Karen.
"Karen, do you know where | can get a paternity test done?" "Yeah. | have a client who does that. He's very accurate.” Karen, curious, immediately asked, "Hey, why do you ask?" "I want to have a paternity test done.” She had a question in her mind, and she wanted to know the answer.
