"Yes." "Alright. | got it, Mr. Lopez." Kevin sighed deeply as he hung up the phone.
They had been searching for years but still found nothing. The only explanation he could think of was that this person didn't want to be found.
Ms. Sanchez was ruthless in their breakup, so Kevin couldn't understand why Mr. Lopez wouldn't let go.
Over the past three years, hundreds, if not thousands, of women have tried to win Mr. Lopez's heart. Among them were beautiful ladies with great bodies and wealthy heiresses whose families were just as powerful as the Lopez Corporation. Yet he remained uninterested, continuing to keep a distance from the opposite sex. Rumors were even starting to spread that he was not into women.
Kevin glanced at the brown paper bag in his hands.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSince Mr. Lopez said it wasn't important, he decided not to bother.
He had just visited the project at Everglow City Resort anyway. The only problem was George, but once that was resolved, they could officially start. The project managers wouldn't be dealing directly with the Lopez Corporation's head office, so he didn't need to know the details.
What was most worrying now was when would there be any news of Ms. Sanchez? There was absolutely no sign of her.
Feeling helpless, Kevin dialed the number of a foreign private detective agency. This was the tenth one he had hired.
"Hello, | was referred to you. I'm looking for someone..." Elysian Country, Willow Manor.
As soon as Everett's plane landed, he saw the headline in the business news. “The Dashing CEO of the Lopez Corporation is Getting Married!” The article took up a whole page. They were speculating about the identity of the bride, causing quite a stir in the business world.
He didn't need to guess to know that his parents had lured him overseas for this very reason. He knew it all too well.
After all these years, they hadn't given up on trying to match him with Heather.
But every time they tried, Everett coldly rejected the idea.
As the car drove into the estate, Amanda was already waiting at the mansion's entrance with her hands on her hips, ready to scold him.
Everett was used to this. He'd experienced it many times over the years.
As soon as he got out of the car, his mother, Amanda, asked impatiently, "Did you find that Dorothy?!" "Not yet." Everett's eyes flickered slightly when he heard Dorothy's name, and he answered calmly.

It was Jonathan who calmed her down, suggesting they call their son and ask him what was going on.
He realized that, since Dorothy had agreed to leave, she couldn't be the woman the news was speculating about. She didn’t seem like the type to change her mind so quickly. Otherwise, she would not have agreed in the first place.
"Who | marry is my business.” "The woman you marry will be the wife of you, the CEO of the Lopez Corporation. She must at least be a good partner for you.
Apart from Heather, no one else is suitable.” Everett had expected his mother to say this.
"I've said it before; | will not marry Heather." "Well, I'm telling you, | will never accept Dorothy as my daughter-in-law!" Amanda was also stubborn. The mother-son duo began to lock horns as soon as they met.
After Everett and Dorothy had gotten their divorce papers, he sent his mother back overseas. Amanda and Jonathan thought that if they let him cool down for a few years, he would forget about Dorothy, and then they could persuade him to accept Heather.
But now news of their engagement was public.
"It's not her." As soon as Everett said this, Amanda froze.
"It's not Dorothy?!" She hadn't heard anything about other women in her son's life.
