GoodRead"She and Kenneth are just friends." "Huh?" Jonathan snorted dismissively. "That's only because you're available now. If you weren't, Kenneth would be too much of a catch for her." At hearing this, Everett's brows knitted together instantly. "You've been investigating Kenneth?" "I'm just trying to protect you. You've never given me or your mother cause for concern when it comes to your personal life. Even in college, while other wealthy kids were busy with girlfriends and partying, you never got carried away with the opposite sex.
Now, suddenly, you're all head over heels for this Dorothy. How could we not worry about you?" "| just want what | want.” That person, from beginning to end, had always been Dorothy, and only Dorothy.

The heart-stirring feelings he had only existed for Dorothy and Dorothy alone.
"You'll regret this one day." Jonathan huffed as he turned to leave.
Suddenly, Kevin appeared at the hospital.
Upon seeing him, Jonathan was taken aback. A look of surprise and annoyance instantly crossed his face.
How could he have not anticipated that his son would get Kevin in the hospital? "Good day, Mr. Chairman, Mr. Lopez." Kevin quickly approached, nodding respectfully at Jonathan before handing a phone to Everett. "Mr. Lopez, this is your new phone. I've already synced all your data.” "Thanks." Everett took the phone and was about to switch it on when Jonathan suddenly stopped him.

One second passed, then two.
Suddenly, Everett's tone turned icy. "What have you done to Dorothy?" He wasn't stupid; he had noticed something was amiss a long time ago. It was just that his mother's illness was indeed severe, and as her son, it was his duty to stay by her side.
But his father repeatedly preventing him from contacting Dorothy was almost as if he were blatantly telling him that they had done something to Dorothy.
"What could we possibly do? She's just a girl; do you think she's worth my time?" "I hope so." Everett didn't say another word to his father; he just simply strode off.
Kevin, not fully understanding the situation, quickly followed after giving Jonathan a polite smile.
Behind them, Jonathan quickly dialed his wife's number. "We're in trouble. We can't hide it from Everett anymore; he's definitely going to look for Dorothy now." "How could you let him go?! Bring him back! | haven't dealt with Dorothy yet." Jonathan recalled the cold look in his son's eyes just now. It was distant and gloomy, as if he had touched a nerve. It made him hesitant to follow. "Do you think we underestimated Dorothy's importance to Everett?" "Is now the time to discuss this?!" Amanda yelled from the other end of the line. "I don't care how much he cares for Dorothy. The only woman who can be my daughter-in-law is Heather! Send someone to stop him now! My plan was to keep Dorothy from contacting Everett for at least three days, especially now that her mother just passed away. | want her to back off on her own or give up on Everett; either way, they need to break up!"
