Dorothy knew Kenneth was just trying to help her out. But she couldn’t give him anything in return.
Seeing her reluctance Kenneth subconsciously reached out to grab her wrist.
Suddenly, Dorothy felt a pull from behind her. She stumbled and fell into a solid, muscular embrace
She looked up and was taken aback.
It was Everett, What was he doing here?
“No need to bother yourself, Mr. Nelson. I can take her.”
Kenneth shot a glance at Dorothy, then at Everett. “Are you Dorothy’s boyfriend?”
“No, he’s not “Dorothy quickly denied it.
Time froze for a few seconds. Everett moved His lips but said nothing
Kenneth wanted to insist, but Dorothy was already whisked away by Everell
They had been driving for a while when she finally spoke, “You can drop me off at the intersection upahead.”
Tve already arranged for the company’s audit department to investigate this. You can take a break for afew days.”
“The company’s investigation is their business. Im guttering evidence to prove my innocence.” Shewasn’t going to sit around waiting for someone else’s verdict
Everett’s thick eyebrows furrowed. His handsome face was adored with a stem expression.
“The talked to Heather. She said she didn’t do 1.”
“Of course she would say that! Who would frame someone and then admit to it? Heather is not a fool.”Dorothy looked out the window and took a deep breath, not wanting to arque.
She didn’t want to take out her frustration on Everett, who had been paying her mother’s medicalexpenses. “Mr. Lopez, still have the right to prove my innocence, right?”
“You do but all the signs point to Heather not framing you”
“I know” Dorothy forced a smile. “I don’t expect anyone to believe me without evidence understand ifyou suspect my mat ves. I don’t need your help. Stop reminding me!”
And now he came to the Prosperity Consortium to tell her that the evidence proved Heather didn’tframe her
Was he trying to brainwash her?
“Dorothy, can you be rational? Don’t let your emotions interfere. I’m talking about the case itself,
“I’m not discussing feelings with your Frustrated, she rubbed her temples. “Can you let me out? I’m notin a good mood because of this. I might say something offensive.”
Everett pulled over but didn’t unlock the doors. He tumed to look at her
“You don’t need Kenneth to recover the messages. I handle it.”
Dorothy met his gaze. She was just as stubbam as him “Let me say it again, Mr Lopez i replace a way toprove my innocence. I didn’t do it, and I don’t need anyone to handle it for me.”
On the contrary, she was worried that Everett’s involvement might tip the poles.
Everett could see the distrust in her eyes.
Just like in school, she never trusted anyone. She was always like a lone wolf, weak but unwilling tofollow the crowd.
Everett promised, “If Heather did this, I won’t side with her”
–“Don’t you get 1? Dorothy frowned. “We’re not on the same side. I’m certain that I didn’t do this, butyou keep saying it! So, you’re either
neutral or on Heather’s side.”
“So, is Kenneth on your side?”
“At least he’s not supporting Heather.”
