GoodReadHer voice was weak, with a plea that was impossible to resist.
Jeffrey had known Heather for many years. She always maintained a noble and elegant demeanor. That was the first time she was begging.

At the corner of the hospital corridor, Jeffrey lit a cigarette, took a puff, and dialed Everett's number.
After a few rings, his deep, gravelly voice finally came through.
"What's up?" "Well, things are pretty bad over here with Heather. | could use a hand if you're free." "I need to get home early.” Jeffrey knew he would say that. He took a frustrated drag of his cigarette, "Don't you think you're being a bit harsh on Heather? After all, she developed acute appendicitis from working overtime. Putting aside the fact that we've been friends since childhood, as a leader of the Lopez Corporation, shouldn't you at least visit a hardworking employee?" "If it was a guy, | would have gone already. But I'm married now, and it's not appropriate.” "Married, married! You're always using that as an excuse. Have you forgotten all about friendship?" Jeffrey raised his voice, full of indignation for Heather, "What if your wife doesn't want you to come? Would you also refuse to help me if I'm in trouble?" There was a noticeable pause from Everett, who finally said after a few seconds, "I'll ask Dorothy later. If she has time, we'll go together.” Then the call ended. Looking at the ended call, Jeffrey seriously regretted agreeing to Heather's request.
Having Dorothy visit Heather was worse than not coming at all! Inside the Lopez Corporation's conference room, Dorothy listened to Kevin's explanation, frantically taking notes, afraid to miss anything.
Whenever Kevin stopped talking, the only sound in the room was her pen scratching against the paper.

Kevin walked over, "I have a feeling you're going to make a big splash in investment banking." Dorothy squinted and smiled, "That's because | have a good teacher! Your case analysis is so accurate and detailed. I've learned alot." That was something she could have never learned in her team of the Prosperity Consortium! "I see you've taken a lot of notes, but understanding is what matters. If you have any questions, just ask me." "Okay!" She packed up her things and was about to leave when her mother called.
Not wanting anyone to overhear, Dorothy hurriedly found a secluded corner before answering.
"Hello, Mom." "When are you planning to introduce him? Is it that hard to arrange a meeting with your husband? Is he working 24/7?" Bella's barrage of questions left Dorothy speechless.
"He's busy. I'm busy too." "Fine, then you guys take your time. I'm checking out today.” "No!" Dorothy knew her mother was capable of doing just that, "Give me three days, okay? I'll definitely bring him to meet you! I've talked to him about it. He said he's nervous and doesn't know how to face you." "Kidnapping my daughter, not even telling me about the registration, and he's nervous? Ha!" "Why do you have to talk like this? Isn't it good that he's busy with work? Should he be a penniless bum with nothing to his name so that we can start from scratch?"
