"So you're telling me those bite marks are from another woman?" Dorothy frowned, fighting the urge to roll her eyes at him. "Don't even try to spin a yarn about it being a guy's doing. I'm not buying that tale.” "No, they really were from a woman." Everett teased, watching her cheeks flush with anger, a smirk creeping up his face.

"And you say you haven't been dating anyone else?" Dorothy's eyes widened like a wife interrogating her husband, almost ready to jump out of her wheelchair. "She must have been pretty close to leave a bite on your shoulder. You obviously slept with her!" Everett nodded, "You're spot on. Not just once, but quite a few times. She was drunk that night, and | intended just to escort her to her hotel room. But then she got handsy and wouldn't let go of me!" Dorothy covered her ears and turned away, "Spare me the sordid details! So she touched you and you just surrendered? Where have your morality gone to?" "Gone when it came to her. | found it hard to stand my ground.” Everett saw she was genuinely upset, and knew it was time to reveal the truth before she actually took off and he couldn't chase after her. "Didn't it ever occur to you that this woman might be you?" "How could I..." Dorothy stopped before finishing the sentence, frozen.
"Verity Holdings Limited collapsed overnight. Did you think about who might have had a hand in that?" She was still trying to make sense of it all.
She remembered that Lane suddenly showed up in Havenbrook City, and she had asked him about Verity Holdings Limited.

"The driver from Everglow City who came to my rescue, was he sent by you?!" Everett thought for a moment and then nodded. "You could say that." "And you made Verity Holdings Limited crash?" "Yes." "Everett, don't you think that was too contemptible? You saw me alone in the hotel, and then you..." He cut her off quickly, "Hold on! | didn't take advantage of anyone. Like | said, you started it." "Impossible!" She always just lay down and slept when she was drunk. It wasn't her first time drinking. How could she possibly end up fondling a man! "The folks at Verity Holdings Limited roofied you that night, so you were... quite eager..." Everett paused for effect. His eyes narrowed and lips curved into a sly smile. "I've never seen you so intense before. | admit. | did let you have your way with me that night." And he seemed to relish it, pulling her back for more even after she waved him off.
Dorothy's brain couldn't keep up. She couldn't imagine what exactly had gone down that night! Everett said that Verity Holdings Limited had roofied her; who knows what could've happened if it wasn’t for his staff's protection! "Those bite marks... were all from me?" "Yes." Everett nodded, "You kept asking me to be gentle, but | couldn't. So you bit me." "Enough, enough!” Dorothy felt her face blushed as if on fire.
The details of that night were just too much!
