Dorothy mulled it over and decided that what he was saying seemed to be true.
In the midst of the chaos, when she was harassed by Mr. Robert from SinoSuccess Enterprises, Everett suddenly appeared and rescued her, Dorothy didn't give much thought as to why Everett showed up so timely. She didn't even think much about it.
"Also, after the incident, in order to avoid you becoming the talk of the town, Everett gave up the chance to use this incident to threaten SinoSuccess Enterprises to back off. He was afraid that if SinoSuccess Enterprises got upset, they might reveal the incident about you being molested." Jeffrey paused while looking at her. "I think you already know what happens when a girl has such rumors spread about her." Although she didn't do anything wrong, she would become the topic of idle gossip, and some might even make up other reasons, such as accusing Dorothy of deliberately seducing Mr. Robert.
Having been in the workplace for quite a while, Dorothy understood this.

You even went as far as getting another man to replace Everett as your boyfriend. If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have had that car accident.” Dorothy pursed her lips and frowned. "I had my reasons.” "I don't want to know your reasons. | came to tell you this today, just to let you know that Everett has invested a lot in you. Since you never took him seriously, you should let go. Divorce him as soon as possible. Don't make things even more difficult for him." Dorothy’s mind was now in even more turmoil.
"Everett's mother has been sent to the emergency room three times because of you." Dorothy was frozen in place.
Jeffrey had completely destroyed her former understanding of her relationship with Everett.
She could feel Everett's affection and dedication, but didn't expect that he had done so much for her behind her back. She was always the one taking it for granted.
Even Kevin could feel it, but she never thought about it.
"At first, | thought his crush was Heather." But later, all the signs pointed towards her, not Heather.
"Why did you think that? Dorothy, if you put a little thought into Everett, you would definitely feel how serious he is about you.
Don't make excuses. | won't listen to them." Jeffrey took a breath and continued, "There's no point in saying anything else now. If you can't respond to his affection, get a divorce as soon as possible.” Dorothy kept repeating Kevin and Jeffrey's words in her head until she returned to Karen's house.
Everything that happened today made her feel as if the world had turned upside down.
On a whim, Dorothy dialed Everett's number.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmActually, she didn't know what she wanted to say after the call was connected, but she just suddenly wanted to hear Everett's voice.
After a few rings, the call was answered.
Everett's voice was unusually tired, low, and raspy.
He used to work late and pull all-nighters, but he was never this tired.
"What's up?" "|..." Dorothy moved her lips, unsure of what to say. "I just wanted to ask what you're doing." "I'm at the hospital.” Just as Dorothy was about to say something, it sounded like Heather's voice came through the phone.
"What happened to Amanda again? Everett, you've gone too far this time. She's your mother!"
