[Mr. Lopez nished back to Eldoma City overnight because of your issue. Now that things are getting really hot in Lumina Bay, he had to rush back. However, he said he’d be back in a few days, which just goes to show that Mr. Lopez also wants to get this mess sorted out] Dorothy chuckled as she stared at her computer screen, feeling a bit puzzled.
Was Everett doing this to clear his name? Or was he womed that if the truth came out, it would tamish Heather’s reputation a bit more?
And what did he mean by ‘I want to protect you?
She thought about it for a while but didn’t spend too much time mulling over it.
Dorothy got up and walked out of her office, heading straight for the legal department.
“Hi, is Ms. Heather in the office today?” She asked a female staffer in the legal department as she got off the elevator.

Dorothy clenched her fists and met Heather’s gaze. “Only you and your mother could be so brazen about being the other woman” “What do you mean by Hie other woman‘? Have you ever received a father’s love? Did he ever care if you were alive or dead?” Heather scoffed mockingly. It’s only in this era that a father can’t unilaterally divorce his wife! He’s brought up divorce so many times. He even took it to court, but your mother wouldn’t agree! You know, I kind of pity her. It must be a shame to have to cling to that marriage license for a lifetime?
“I pity your mother too. It must be a shame to have to bear the title of the other woman for a lifetime” Dorothy retorted
