GoodReadDorothy frowned a little.
This was not what she cared about.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"I know. You've mentioned it before.” If Everett's crush was actually Heather, none of this would have happened.
But Heather would still be against her.
"Let's eat first." Everett ended the conversation again with a barely audible sigh.
He knew that Dorothy was not composed enough to take in what he was saying and make the right decision. Her decisions were rash.
He chose to ignore her requests to cancel the contract and divorce.
At the hospital, two bodyguards were stationed at the entrance of Amanda's room just in case she tried to harm herself again.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOnly after confirming that Everett was not at the hospital did Heather sneak over to see Amanda.
"Amanda, why are you acting so silly?" As soon as she entered, she hugged Amanda. "Even if Everett doesn't want to marry me, don't force him, and don't hurt yourself anymore! | don't want to lose someone who cares about me." Hearing this, Amanda's displeasure with Dorothy deepened, and her fondness for Heather grew.
"I've said that | want you to be my daughter-in-law, and | must keep my word. What you and your mother have contributed to the Lopez family is incomparable. Everett just doesn't know it yet." "Don't let him know. Amanda, don't ever let him find out. | don't want him to marry me out of gratitude.” Heather lowered her eyes and sighed softly. "You've seen it. Dorothy Sanchez is really important to him. | was thinking about just stepping back." "No way! Heather, Dorothy does not matter!" Amanda interrupted coldly.
"But Everett really likes her." Heather bit her lower lip as the tears that had not dried in her eyes fell a little more, stirring up sympathy within Amanda’s heart.
"Ms. Sanchez is actually quite pitiful. After the leak, | investigated her background. She has been an illegitimate daughter since she was a child. It must have been hard for her mother to raise her. In the end, she betrayed the company just to get money for her mother's treatment. She is a filial person.” Amanda snorted coldly. "A woman who destroys other people's families can't produce anything good! Just because she's filial, does the entire Lopez Corporation have to suffer?!" The more she listened, the angrier she got. She wished for nothing more than to find Dorothy right now.
Heather quickly reached out to calm her. "Don't get angry; look on the bright side. The company has already settled this matter, right?" "That's just the surface of the incident. Have you thought about this on a deeper level? Why do you think this Dorothy can do such morally corrupt things? Isn't it because she thinks my son will support her and handle all her troubles for her? How can a company with such employees be good?" Heather pretended to be enlightened. She then feigned a panic state, quickly lowering her head and trying to defend Dorothy.
"Maybe she was desperate. | heard that her mother's illness is very serious and life-threatening. She could die at any time. As a daughter, Dorothy might have had no choice." "That's her mother's problem! Heather, you're just too kind. You're always looking on the bright side and always thinking that everyone has a good side, but the world is often not enough for the greedy!" Amanda was very determined in her heart. She would only recognize Heather as her daughter-in-law. "Sweetheart, you must stand firmly by my side. For the sake of the Lopez Corporation, we have to drive that Dorothy away!"
