GoodReadJust as they were about to say something, they suddenly looked up and saw Heather standing in front of them.
She was staring right at them. Obviously, she had heard their conversation.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"The Lopez Corporation pays you to gossip, huh?" "Sorry, Ms. Heather..." The two staff members immediately stood up, bowing and begging in panic.
Heather glanced at them, "You don't have to apologize to me. I'll report this to your department head. You can explain things to him." With that, she turned around in her high heels and headed straight for the CEO's office.
Heather had asked Kevin in advance and knew that Everett was in the office, so she knocked on the door.
Only when she heard a voice from inside did she push the door open.
Everett glanced up for a second, then continued to look at the documents in his hand. His attitude towards her was completely different from when he first returned to the country.
Back then, he might not have been very enthusiastic, but at least he treated her as his right-hand woman, a good partner at work.

"Everett, | know you've already decided that I'm framing Dorothy; it's useless no matter how | explain it. So | won't waste my time. | choose to resign as chief counsel. Here's my resignation letter." Hearing this, Everett finally responded; he looked up, "The truth is the truth and it's not determined by me." "But the only thing | care about is your judgement! Everyone else can wrong me, and | don't care. No matter what the defendants said about me in court before, | never took it to heart. | can also ignore the gossip about me in the company now. But your bias makes me feel like everything | do is in vain." Heather's eyes never left Everett's face.
It's true that Everett had given a lot to Dorothy. He had been treating her like a rose in his palm.
But Heather's efforts for Everett were no less! The Lopez Corporation has been established for so long and encountered so many troubles. She worked through the night to collect information and think about how to solve them., She made everyone in the industry know that the Lopez Corporation had a tough lawyer and reached a consensus: better not touch the Lopez Corporation's legal department.
She really thought that after this incident, the worst Everett could do was to stay neutral! She really didn't expect that he would completely believe Dorothy.
This made Heather feel like all her years of hard work were a joke! Abig joke! "You know whether you did it or not; the company won't wrong you. It all depends on the evidence." "Is there any evidence now that points to me framing Dorothy?" "I'm investigating.” Heather laughed, "You're just looking for evidence against me, so why bother with the word ‘investigating'? Now for the sake of Amanda's health, I'm willing to resign myself. Whether you blame me or try to clear Dorothy's name, | only have one condition: let's pretend to be lovers in front of Amanda.” Seeing Everett not speaking, she frowned.
"You should know whether she can make it out of the emergency room again!" Heather knew Everett didn't want to agree, but she knew too well that this was the only way right now.
