Chapter 135
But if the person she really cared about didn’t believe her, what was the point if others did?
“Sometimes I really admire Dorothy.” She admitted. “She’s got Everett on a tight leash, and I’ve got
nothing. All I do is help him in business.”
“Hell see your worth sooner or later. Plus, you’ve got Amanda from the Lopez family on your side, so
what’s there to fear? With Dorothy’s status, she can’t even step foot into the Lopez’s territory, let alone
be acknowledged by his mom”
Heather didn’t respond, but she knew better than Jeffrey If she wanted to limit Everett’s actions now,
she had to win over his mother. Surely, Everett wouldn’t disregard his mother just to be with Dorothy
After leaving Heather’s office, Dorothy headed straight to the paternity test center Karen had

Normally, this kind of rule–breaking wouldn’t be allowed, but luckily she had Karen to vouch for her
After sorting everything out, Dorothy received a call from Everett on her way back to the office.
She had assumed he would be by Heather’s side in the hospital.
“Where are you?”
“I’m at the office.”
– “Dorothy, I’m in your affice”

“I had some things to ask her.” Durathy replied, not feeling guilty
The worst she had done was accidentally knock Heather down. But if Heather hadn’t made the first
move, she wouldn’t have pushed het. Everett frowned. “You should think twice before you act in
situations like this.”
If Heather had called the police, Dorothy would definitely have been taken in for questioning.

She wanted to avoid any gossip about her bribing or seducing the boss. But if Everett kept defending
Heather she had to speak up for herself.
Everett looked of her. He suddenly stood up and walked his tall frame towards her.
After a while, he finally spoke, “Dorothy, you and I are married. My relationship with Heather is strictly
professional. We are just boss and employee
Perhaps it was his imposing presence or the shocking revelation, but Dorothy was left speechless. Her
mind entered a blank slate.
