Heather couldn’t help but revel in the thought of Dorothy toyed with by a bunch of guys. She loathedthe fact that she couldn’t capture the moment on video to show to Everett
She wanted to check how he reacted when his cherished belle could be claimed by others just aseagerly.
“We share the same blood after all. Does it make you happy to degrade me like this?” Dorothy tried tostall for time, though deep down she knew it was a long shot that anyone would come to her rescue.
She hadn’t dared to hope for Everett to be her savior because he was utterly clueless about her ordeal.Before they parted ways, she had been so dismissive, insisting he should just focus on his work.
Most likely, Everett was still buried in meetings at the office. Her only prayer now was that Kennethwould replace her soon.
“Now you remember our family ties? Dorothy, have I ever begged you? I asked you to let Everett goand take your pick of any other man! But what did you do? You not only married him but also bore hischild!” At the thought of it, Heather surged her resentment, wishing she could tear Dorothy apart rightthere.
The sacrifices she had made for the Lopez family far outweighed Dorothy’s, yet it was Dorothy whoultimately won Everett.
How could Heather accept that?
“All I wanted was to pay for my mom’s treatment,” Dorothy said truthfully.
If it hadn’t been for that one misdirected text message, she never would have aspired to reach forEverett. Even when she was just an employee at the Prosperity Consortium and saw Everett from adistance at company events, she never tried to network with him.
As for Dorothy, they came from different worlds. He was the golden boy, while she felt like nothing morethan dirt underfoot, always rushing between work and the hospital, barely replaceing time to breathe. Howcould she dare to imagine someone like Everett, the CEO would ever look her way?
For Dorothy, all of this felt like a dream. And if she had known from the beginning who Heather was andthat Heather had always adored Everett, Dorothy might have never continued any contact with him.She was the kind of person who preferred to avoid confrontation, keeping her world free from unsettlingdisturbances.
“Oh, please. Do you think I’d believe that? You’re as hypocritical as your mother, always waving thebanner of righteousness to mask your true intentions! Your mother paraded around refusing to divorce,branding my mom the marriage breaker forever. But did Maxton Sanchez ever return to you two afterfalling for my mom? Who’s the hypocrite now?”
Dorothy knew this had always been Heather’s narrative that Dorothy and her mother were the villains.
“I did try to convince my mom to let it go, not because I agreed with your twisted theory, but because itpained me to see her deceived, trapping herself in a miserable life.”
Before encountering Maxton, Bella was so joyful.
Adorned in beautiful dresses, she was always photographed with a beaming smile. But after meetingthat philanderer, all she had left was anger and bitterness, locked in an endless struggle with herself.
“And you just followed in her footsteps? After she brought you into this world, you sneak off to secretlybear Everett’s child! You’re indeed mother and daughter, both contemptible Heather boiled her rage asshe gestured to one of the men. “You, take off your pants! Now!”
