GoodRead"Uh-huh, I got it. Could you maybe check in with Everett for me? I'm curious about what brought him to Havenbrook City. Was it really Dorothy?" "Isn't it obvious?" The Lopez Corporation didn't have any projects in Havenbrook City currently. Even if they did, domestic projects that weren't worth a few billion dollars weren't worth the CEO's time.
So, what else could it be? "But they're divorced. Didn't Everett remarry?" News of him getting married was all over the business world.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLane thought he had moved on.
After all, divorce usually meant there were issues between them. Now that Dorothy was flaunting her married life with a child and Everett had announced his remarriage, Lane couldn't imagine there being any connections left between them.
He was surprised to find out that Everett came to Havenbrook City for Dorothy.
Most importantly, Everett knew about Dorothy being drugged. This meant that he was either still in contact with Dorothy or that he had someone close to her.
If it was the latter, then it was only a matter of time before Everett found out about Dorothy's daughter.
Lane didn't even want to think about it.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNow that Dorothy claimed to be married and Everett was still protecting her, if he found out that the child was his, what chance would Lane have left? "But he just made an announcement. None of us have seen the bride." Jeffrey said cautiously. He avoided talking too much about Everett's personal matters for fear of repercussions.
"Jeffrey, do you think he might not have gotten married after all?" "I wouldn't know that. He's not one to discuss everything with me." Especially not when it came to Dorothy.
Everett believed that Jeffrey was on Heather's side, so naturally, he wouldn't share much.
"Then... did you mention anything to him when you left Everglow City? Like about Dorothy having a child?" "No, didn't you tell me not to? You said it would only hurt him, and | agree. It's not his child, so knowing would only cause him pain. But if he keeps this up, I'm thinking of telling him. | should let him see how happy Dorothy has been without him." Jeffrey said angrily.
His good friend was still stuck, while Dorothy had moved on quite quickly. She not only remarried but also had a child! Poor Everett.
He was still waiting in place, but he didn’t know what exactly he was waiting for. A miracle? "Don't!" Lane immediately stopped him. "Don't tell him." "Why are you so nervous?" Jeffrey jumped at his sudden increase in volume.
"As a man, | understand what he's feeling. I'm also stuck in unrequited love, remember? If | were Everett, | wouldn't want to hear this news. It would be too painful.” Jeffrey sighed. "Alright, | won't say anything. You're going to Havenbrook City this time for Dorothy too, right?" "l won't deny it. | am going for Dorothy. But my reasons are not the same as Everett's. Dorothy, as my employee, is on a business trip to Havenbrook City, and now she's in trouble, so | have to step in. However, the collaboration with Verity Holdings Limited fell through, and with Verity Holdings Limited gone, we're planning to leave." "Heh! Dorothy goes on a business trip, gets drugged, and you, the boss, personally go to handle it. You say you don't have any ulterior motives? Who are you trying to fool?"
