Kevin nodded. "Alright." Lopez Corporation, Legal Department.
It had been two days since Heather last saw Everett. For a workaholic like him, if he wasn't at the office and had no business trips scheduled, what could he possibly be up to? The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. She feared that Everett might be with another woman.

Right now, the quickest way to find out Everett's whereabouts was through him.
After calling twice, Jeffrey finally picked up.
"Ms. Garcia, can you give it a rest? Does the Legal Department have nothing to do? I've got a ton of work on my plate!" Nowadays, Jeffrey's attitude towards her was increasingly impatient.
"I just want to know where Everett is. Why isn't he at the company?” "If you're looking for him for work, reach out through the company's channels. Why are you calling me?" The Lopez Corporation had a company software, where communication and information reporting could be done.
Everett was hardly ever offline, and Heather, as the head of the Legal Department, had the privilege to message him directly.
"It's not about work." "Then | know even less." How could he know? Who knew which word could stir up trouble? If he wasn't careful, he would no longer be friends with Everett.
In the past, he didn't know what Heather was capable of and thought that if he could help the two of them out, it would work out.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBut now he had decided to never meddle again.
Although he didn't like Dorothy either, laying a hand on someone's family was indeed going too far. Even he couldn't stand it anymore.
"Jeffrey, you should know what Everett's parents want. Wouldn't they want the best for their son? I'm the only one who's truly devoted to Everett and the Lopez Corporation!" Heather tried to brainwash Jeffrey. Without his help, things were indeed tricky.
"If you two were meant to be, there wouldn't be any Dorothy in the first place. | can see it clearly now. There's no way Everett will ever like you. Stop dreaming." "Dorothy only got his attention because she looks like me! Otherwise, why do you think Everett would look at her?" Heather could only twist the truth as much as possible to persuade him.
But how could Jeffrey be so easily brainwashed now? "I doubt that. Maybe he was taking care of you back then because you reminded him of Dorothy." "Absurd! You know that | was living with the Lopez family at the time. | was with Everett day and night; what's Dorothy compared to that?" "That's still not a reason for you to frame her, is it?" Jeffrey hadn't forgotten that part yet.
Heather sneered. "| framed her? Think about it. If Everett hadn't been so protective of Dorothy, who would believe her? The fact that this matter has come this far is all because of Everett. There's nothing | can do." Jeffrey laughed. "Then tell me the truth. Did you frame Dorothy?" "No, | don't even consider her a threat." Jeffrey was silent for a long while, then he sighed. "Honestly, | used to believe you. With your position, you really didn't need to consider Dorothy a threat. But now | don't, and that's the truth." "Why?" "Because | can see how important Dorothy is to Everett. You can't replace her, which gives you a motive to frame Dorothy."
