Chapter 291
Although Heather was unsure whether Everett had reconnected with Dorothy, she knew all too well the
sway Dorothy had over him.
She hoped that whoever was by Everett’s side was anyone but Dorothy
Any other woman would be easier to deal with than Dorothy. It wasn’t that Dorothy was particularly
talented or powerful, but rather that Everett was deeply invested in and in love with her.
Heather was certain that Everett would never pour as much time and effort into another woman in his
lifetime. So, as long as it was not Dorothy she was not concerned.
After glancing at her wristwatch, she realized it was about time for her to leave.
Heather changed into a sharply tailored business suit that accentuated her aura of competence and
authority. She was ready to return to Florria City and the Lopez Corporation. She had to assert her

Inside the Lopez Corporation’s boardroom, Everett was engrossed in a project update from the
investment department manager. His brow would furrow from me to time, signaling his dissatisfaction,
which his assistant would promptly note.
Dressed in a custom tailored black suit, he sat silently in the chair of honor listening to the report. His
silence caused a wave of fear among the team. They were scared of making any mistakes that might
upset the CEO.
“Knock, knock,”
The sudden sound of knocking disrupted the stence in the boardroom.
“Come in Everet: uttered his first words of the day.
The door swung open, revealing Kevin
He walked straight over to Everett, leaned down, and whispered. Your father has appointed Heather as
the chief legal counsel of the Lopez Corporation. The HR department just received the notice, and
Heather will be here to take up her post in half an hour.”

After he left, the meeting resumed
It wasnt until the report was over that Everett coldly said, ‘Is this the best due diligence you can do for
the project? You can’t even give me a precise revenue rate. Do you expect me to do the due diligence
for your project?”
“Mr. Lopez, give us some time. We will surely.”
“This project is suspended indefinitely.” Everett didn’t Isten to his explanation. He stood up and said.
“Meeting adjourned.”
The manager in charge of the project was stunned. He tried to catch up with Everett
“Mr. Lopez, Mr. Lopez, hear me out! The meeting was too sudden this time. I have already sent people

Normally, Everett would ignore such pleas.

countless projects vying for investment from the Lopez Corporation every day. I don’t have time to give
this project a second chance.”
