GoodReadDorothy was standing next to the bench in the garden. She tried to speak several times, but in the end, no sound came out.
"You're not seriously thinking that with your capabilities, you can prove that Heather framed you, right?" "| believe in justice.” "You believe in justice, but no HR from any investment bank will buy it. Once you're fired for this reason, no one will care whether you're innocent or not." Kevin's words rang true. Having worked in the corporate world for so many years, he had seen all sorts of plots and schemes.
It was not uncommon for superiors to deliberately stir up trouble just to screw over a subordinate out of a personal grudge. The unlucky ones end up with a tarnished reputation, slinking away from the industry for good. The lucky ones, at most, might see their superior get a slap on the wrist from upper management, but due to the company's collective honor, they still had to leave the industry with a tarnished reputation.
In either case, the ones at a disadvantage always got the short end of the stick.
Seeing that Dorothy remained silent, Kevin suddenly let out a sigh.

Now, even a fool could see that Everett was head over heels for Dorothy.
She froze for a good while, then sat down on the bench.
Her mind was filled with what Kevin had said.
"Aren't you being a bit too self-centered?" Self-centered...
Dorothy suddenly realized that she had never once considered things from Everett's perspective.
Just like he said, whenever she faced any difficulties, her first thought was to cut ties with him as soon as possible, then naively think she could clear her name alone.
Even worse, she had doubted Everett before.
Now, her mind was in chaos that couldn't be sorted out.
Dorothy had never been involved in any romantic relationships before.
It felt like Everett's feelings had suddenly weighed on her like a mountain out of nowhere.
She finally realized that he liked her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe liked her quite a bit, actually.
"Dorothy, | finally found you." Suddenly, a man approached her.
It wasn't until he got closer that she recognized him as Jeffrey, the man who had been standing with Heather at the time of Everett's car accident.
"What do you want?" Her tone was icy cold. She was clearly not in the mood for small talk.
But Jeffrey looked at her seriously, took a deep breath, and said, "I came here today to persuade you to break up with Everett." "That's my business." Dorothy didn't like the feeling of being forced.
"You don't need to be so defensive. | don't have any particular goodwill towards you or any ill will. | just want to tell you that Everett has done so much for you, and now he's caught between a rock and a hard place. | think it's time you did something for him." "Are you Heather's man?" "I'm not anyone's man at this moment. You don't need to be hostile to me. Everett and | have been good friends for many years.
He tells me a lot of things he doesn't tell others." Upon seeing Dorothy's skepticism, he decided to go straight to the point. "For instance, do you remember Mr. Robert from the SinoSuccess Enterprises project? In fact, the day you went there alone, Everett was worried about your safety. He immediately brought me along to rescue you from the clutches of danger.” Dorothy gasped in shock.
"Didn't you ever question how he happened to show up just in time?"
