Lane believed that Dorothy just couldn't stomach the thought of Everett's reputation being tainted right now. But she'd come around soon enough.
Anyway, he'd done his part. As long as she knew that Everett already had a child, there was no longer any chance for them. He had achieved his goal.

The one who went to find Everett had to be Langston. But if Everett had claimed him, she wouldn't be able to get him out, even if she charged in there.
Dorothy didn't dare contemplate whether she would ever see her son again if Everett found out about Langston.
After ending the call with Lane, she immediately sought advice from Kenneth and Karen.
They were still discussing how to make a move in Eldorria City to find Langston. Now there was a new development.
"You're saying Langston went to find Everett?!” "Yes, he went to the Lopez Corporation." Kenneth didn't speak, but she heard Karen exclaim from the other side. "Kenneth, are you okay?!" Dorothy quickly showed her concern. "Kenneth, what's wrong?" Karen took over the phone and spoke with a voice filled with worry. "He hasn't slept for days trying to find Langston. He's already fainted once from low blood pressure.” "I'm fine. Don't tell Dorothy about this." Kenneth snatched the phone back once he had recovered.

Dorothy furrowed her brow and glanced at Abigail playing nearby. She whispered, "Kenneth, I'll go to Eldorria City. Now that Everett knows about this, the only way to get my child back is if | step in." She had thought about it over and over again. All other methods seemed futile. It was time for her to step in.
"If you do, all our previous efforts will be wasted. Trust me, just this once, | can figure out a way to get Langston out. You're not with him, so you don't know. He didn't go looking for Everett because he wanted a father. He always felt that his father was irresponsible.” Kenneth had heard similar remarks several times before. He couldn't confront them directly; he could only gently steer them away by giving Langston all the care he could to fill the gap left by the lack of a father's love.
"So you mean, we're betting that Everett doesn't know who Langston's mother is, and then you'll find a way to get Langston out?" "Yes! | don't think Langston would tell him." Dorothy furrowed her brows.
But the woman who bore Everett's child must've had a relationship with him. He hadn't been with anyone else during that time, had he? Wouldn't the biggest suspicion still fall on her? Kenneth had also thought of this, so he reassured her. "Don't worry. At Langston's age, as long as he doesn't say how old he is, you can't tell whether he's three or four. After your divorce, he probably wasn't celibate. As long as he was with a woman, there's a chance she could've gotten pregnant. We're not giving up any chance to win until the very end." "But I'm worried about staying here alone. I'll also go to Eldorria City, but | won't show myself for now. If there really is no other way, then I'll go find Everett."
