    “Mom, rx. I went to do a patemity test on Heather’s DNA. We need the results before we can expose


    this. Otherwise, we’re just shooting in the dark. Heather could easily turn it around on us and sue us


    After all, she was awyer by trade, so they had to y by the book.


    “Alright! Ill back you up when the timees” Be took her daughter’s hand and patted it. I’m sorry


    you’ve been dragged into this. This feud was supposed to have ended by now.”


    “Mom, I can take anything as long as you’re sale.”


    Dorothy didn’t want to make this public, but with Heather pushing her buttons, she had no choice but to


    fight back.


    The video, of course, was sent to Be at Heather’s behest.


    Everything was orchestrated to bait Be.


    At this point, their words meant nothing. No one would believe them, especially if this blew up.


    Dorothy’s reputation would be tarnished, and even the news of her betraying thepany could reach


    Amanda’s ears. The Lopez family would never ept such a woman.


    “Heather, I’m here to see you” Outside the hospital room, Amanda walked in wearing a light purple


    mandarin gown, making her look elegant and noble. She was carrying a pot of chicken soup that was


    specially cooked for Heather.


    Upon seeing Amanda, Heather struggled to get up.N?velDrama.Org holds this content.


    Amanda quickly moved to stop her. “You just got out of surgery; don’t push yourself. You should’ve told


    me you were in the hospital. I had to pry it out of Everett.”


    “I didn’t want to worry you. Heather replied weakly as her pale face showed her frailty.


    “You should’ve told me anyway! What happened? I thought your surgery was sessful.”


    Heather looked up, hesitated, and then carefully asked, “What did Everett tell you?”


    “He’s been busy with work and didn’t mention a thing. On my way here, I called him, and he said that


    you identally reopened your surgery wound.”


    identally?


    Heather’s lips moved, but she lowered her eyes. “Oh, he said that?”


    “Is that really what happened?” Amanda sensed Heather’s evasion.


    “Yes, he was telling the truth.”


    With that, even Amanda knew her son was just brushing her off.


    She sighed and gently touched Heather’s hand.


    “Sweetheart, I know Everett has made things difficult for you, but once you marry into our family, I


    promise we won’t mistreat you. Everett has been very busytely. When I went to his ce yesterday,


    it was dark, and he still wasn’t home.”


    Amanda went to Everett’s ce?


    “You went into Bay Residence?”


    “Yes.” Amanda recalled the maid. “Everett even hired someone to clean for him. I was quite surprised.


    He has changed a lot over the years. I believe he’ll treat you better in the future. After all, your


    contribution to the Lopez Corporation is undeniable.”


    Heather chuckled. “Everett told you that the girl was hired to clean?”


    “The maid herself told me.” Amanda saw Heather Jaughing and frowned. “Why do you seem like you’re


    doubting this?”


    “Don’t overthink.” Heather quickly responded. “Your health isn’t good, so you shouldn’t get upset”
