"Fine! If you're going to keep secrets from me, | might as well go back to my mom's house."
"Wait, no!" He quickly pulled Karen back, his voice edged with panic. "I'll tell you, okay? Quincy's got a thing for
Everett. And Jonathan, he's hell-bent on getting her to join the Lopez family." Karen slapped her hands together,
her eyes blazing. "I knew it! But what about Everett? He's not going to go for it, right?"
Jeff looked like he was on the verge of tears. "I honestly don't know. Maybe you should talk to Everett?"
"Talk? I'll talk! If he dares to let Dorothy down, | swear I'll find her someone better, someone who'll make Everett
eat his heart out. Let Abigail and Langston call sother guy dad!" Jeff swallowed hard, feeling a knot in his
stomach.
In his heart, he knew that when it cto playing mind games, Karen was in a league of her own.
Everett might be able to handle a little turbulence with Dorothy, but the thought of sother guy stepping in...
The mere idea of Abigail and Langston calling someone else 'Dad' was enough to drive Everett to madness.

"You wantto break the news to Everett again?"
"No, no!" Ronin's voice oozed with a sickening sweetness. "I'm calling because Jonathan just phoned me. He's set
on having you marry into the Lopez family. Thinks you're the perfect fit-your background, your skills in medicine,
everything matches up with the Lopez prestige."
Quincy was caught off guard. The Lopez family changing their tune was unexpected.
"Have you and Everett been getting along? Did he say something to his father?"
Quincy scoffed internally.
That man barely spared her a glance, let alone fostered any sort of closeness. It was all about the antidote for
him.
"What else did he say?"
"Not much more, but from the sounds of it, ever since Everett's mom passed, things with Dorothy have been on
the rocks. They were for marriage, and now? Not a
all
peep."
"Don't get too excited. It might all be an act."
Quincy wasn't naive. Her life was entangled in this mess, so caution was her best ally.
Everett's love for Dorothy had
weathered many storms. His mother's death would strain any relationship, but the idea of suddenly wanting to
marry Quincy out of the blue was far-fetched.
"Doesn't matter if it's an act. Marry into the Lopez family, secure your position, and everything else will follow."
Quincy's response was icy. "What's it to you?"
"Con..."
"Save it. I'm done helping the Caldwells."
