GoodReadBefore Dorothy could react, Heather immediately reached out to him and screamed in pain as soon as she saw Everett.
"Everett, save me! |...I'm bleeding.” Everett's gaze shifted to her, and, indeed, Heather was covered in blood. She looked horrifying.
Everett immediately dialed 911. He then scooped Heather up and quickly left the office, without saying a word to Dorothy. He did not even spare her a glance.
After they left, Heather's assistant hurried in. She saw the blood on the ground and then looked at Dorothy in terror.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWas this a crime scene or something? Dorothy didn't expect this to happen. She was just defending herself, and it turned into such a mess.
It was Heather who started it.
More and more people gathered from the Legal Department. It wasn’t until Everett's assistant arrived that the commotion died down.
"Get back to work, everyone. Mr. Lopez said there will be no discussing this! No photos or spreading rumors! Get back to work!" After everyone left, he came to Dorothy and whispered, "Mr. Lopez just called me. He wants you to wait for him at Bay Residence after work." "Okay." She nodded, but she didn't leave immediately. Instead, she took a tissue from the desk to wipe up Heather's remaining blood from the carpet, then packed it up.
Even though Heather had admitted their relationship, if she wanted to use it as evidence, she still needed it in black and white.
She hadn't forgotten why she had come here.
In the hospital, Heather was rushed into the emergency room again.
Due to her surgical wound reopening, she lost a lot of blood and fainted in the ambulance.
Jeffrey ran straight from the hotel. He obviously just had a shower and was about to do something with his new girlfriend. His hair was still wet, and his shirt buttons were done wrong.
"What the hell happened? How did she suddenly lose so much blood?" "I'm not entirely sure. She and Dorothy might've had an argument." Everett replied.

But no one answered, so he guessed that Dorothy might have gone to see Heather.
He walked in just in time to see what happened.
"What?! Dorothy again?! Is she trying to kill Heather?" Jeffrey was fuming. "Everett, don’t you think you're going too far? It's your company, and Heather is your chief lawyer. She is under investigation, and now she’s in the hospital again! You can’t keep brushing it off!" "Dorothy didn't do it on purpose.” "What was it then?" Everett frowned. "I'm not sure what happened yet. | just brought Ms. Heather to the hospital first." Jeffrey stared at him as rage welled up in his chest. "Fine. If you don't know, then we should let the police find out! If you say Dorothy didn't do it on purpose, then call the police. Let them investigate!" As he was about to take out his phone, Everett snatched it away.
"Jeffrey, this is a company matter. You have no right to interfere.” This was the first time Everett had spoken to Jeffrey in this tone. Despite being in a position of power, he had never used such a commanding tone.
For Dorothy, he really had broken too many records.
Jeffrey was taken aback by Everett's icy warning and calmed down a bit, no longer making a scene.
After a while, he let out a sigh. "Everett, you really need to stop this game. Have you thought about the consequences?"
