GoodReadDorothy was engulfed by a sudden buzzing in her ears, leaving her feeling as if she had gone deaf.
So, Kevin had really come to Everglow City alone. Everett didn’t come because he had gone abroad to prepare for his wedding.
Had he finally given in? Did he agree to marry Heather? "Dorothy, are you still with us?" Lane had to call her back to earth after who knew how many attempts.
"I'm sorry. | had some signal issues." Lane continued to sincerely express how important she was. "Just do your best! And if there's anything you don't want to handle, let Austin do it. Though the company assigned him as the main person in charge of this project, your position is equally as important. The company wants you two to support each other. If he does anything that upsets you, you can tell me." "No. Austin takes good care of me." "That's good to hear! Is there anything else you need to discuss?" Having gotten this far in the conversation, it would be rude for Dorothy to decline any further.

Once the project is successfully completed, East Star Enterprises will throw a celebration banquet for the two of you. | also promise you a bonus at the end of the year. It will certainly be no less than seven figures." All that Dorothy could do was awkwardly smile. Her mind was still buzzing from the news of Everett's impending wedding.
After ending the call, she leaned back in her chair. She remained silent for what felt like an eternity.
Wasn't it normal for Everett to get married? He couldn't remain single forever because of her, could he? Other men remarry only a few months after their wives' deaths.
Their ordeal together ended three years ago. He deserved to get married and find happiness.
Composing herself, Dorothy fired up her laptop and threw herself back into work.
The most important thing right now was to make money. She needed to earn enough to hire a top-notch foreign hacker to decode the missing surveillance footage from her mother's hospital room.
Though they had deleted the video after the incident, Dorothy borrowed money from Karen to buy the hospital's surveillance computer at a very high price.
Kenneth sought out several computer experts, but to no avail. It wasn’t until someone suggested that the only person who could restore the video was an overseas hacker named ‘Byte 7’ that she found a bit of hope.
Actually, it was her only hope.
But this person's fee was incredibly high. It ranged from 30 to 50 million right off the bat.

Meanwhile, on the highway from Everglow City to Eldorria City.
"Mr. Lopez, I've taken care of George within the final week deadline you set." "Good." The voice on the other end was deep and devoid of any emotion.
Kevin glanced at the few parchment envelopes he held, asking, "Mr. Lopez, East Star Enterprises has sent over the detailed information about the main person in charge of the resort project. Do you want me to forward a copy to you?" Everett paused for a few seconds. "No need. This project belongs to W&C Investments Inc.; let them handle it." "Alright." After Kevin finished speaking, Everett didn't hang up.
He knew that Mr. Lopez had something else to say, so he waited patiently.
After a long while, the deep voice finally spoke again.
"Still no news about her?" "No, nothing yet." Kevin pursed his lips. "Should we keep searching?"
