Chapter 1183
Quincy let out a sigh.
He just knew it wouldn't be that easy to get what he wanted!
"Look, Everett is stressing over this mess! If I can sort it out for him, he's going to value me even more, you get me? Even in business, you've got to be willing to invest some cash!" This office building, it's an investment, plain and simple!
If it can snag me a big fish like Everett, then it's a bargain, even if it were ten buildings, not just one!
"Are you out of your mind? With all the dough Everett's sitting on, you think money troubles keep him up at night?" Ronin was having none of it!
He could be vexed over a lady, or some illness, but money? Never!
"..."

Quincy lifted his hand, rubbing his temples, trying to keep his cool as he spoke, "Dad, Dorothy's after half of Everett's shares in the Lopez Corporation!"
"What?! Is she insane?"
Anyone would find that ridiculous!
We're talking about the Lopez Corporation here.
And Dorothy and Everett have been divorced for ages, no more ties, what right does she have to his fortune? And to ask for so much!
"I saw Dorothy today, and honestly, I thought her request was crazy too. But the state she was in, totally different from before! Guess Everett talking divorce must've hit her hard." She had Everett shielding her for so long, she never realized his worth.
Now suddenly without him, Quincy figured Dorothy must be acting all crazy because of this.
It's not entirely Dorothy's fault, Quincy thought Everett pulled away too coldly, too swiftly!
Just stopped loving her, just like that.
"Now that Everett's over her, why bother giving her any fortune? Maybe... I could find someone to take care -"
"No way!"
Quincy immediately shot down Ronin's suggestion, "Everett's already on guard because of that poisoning stunt I pulled on Dorothy! If I make a move on her now, I'd be his prime suspect! Then I can forget about marrying him."
"Fine, keep your office building, but don't come crying for help from the Lopez Corporation later! Think it over."
Quincy hung up without giving Ronin a chance to rethink.
She knew he'd come around eventually.
How could they stop now, after coming this far? The Caldwell

no
g back now!
After hanging up, Quincy actually felt relieved!
There, Dorothy's fortune was settled, just like that.
She scrolled through her phone for Dorothy's number, and sent a message.
"List what you want, Dorothy! But don't push your luck. Part ways with Everett gracefully, and you'll get something out of it. Otherwise... you might not be around to regret it." en.swhovels.net
Quincy knew Dorothy hadn't taken the antidote.
Meaning, she could still be controlled!
This was good news.
If Dorothy refused to back off, if she kept pestering Everett, then Quincy would have to go all in.
After all, Everett was already disgusted with her; even if Dorothy were to die, he probably wouldn't dig too deep.
But still...
Quincy hoped it wouldn't come to that.
Solving the problem with Dorothy was one thing, but it would only make Everett more wary of her.
It wasn't long before Dorothy's number flashed on her screen with a reply.
"A threat on my life? Are you planning to kill me?"
