Chapter 543
“Dorothy, you’re the only one for me
Everett could tell she was thinking of her father again, so his grip on her hand tightened without him realizing it
Dorothy believed him, she really did But she didn’t want Everett to be set on just her
Jeffrey was completely dumbfounded.
How on earth had he not figured out that the person Karen was chatting with on the phone was Kenneth, her
cousin?
Locking back, it made sense. Her laughter, the way she talked about crashing at his place, it all seemed so casual,
lacking that coy vibe you get when talking to a boyfriend
It was all his own doing–acting on impulse without considering other possibilities

Irritated, Jeffrey kicked the living room couch and grabbed his phone to scroll through his contacts list in a frenzy
Suddenly, it hit him that Karen had once mentioned working at The Prosperity Consortium! She was there with
Dorothy before Everett had pulled some strings to get Dorothy transferred to the headquarters.
Jumping to his feet, Jeffrey started searching for the number of the manager at The Prosperity Consortium’s local
