    “Yeah, she has a daughter. She’s a real cutey Lane turned to Jeffrey. “You didn’t know?


    No sooner had the words left his mouth than Jeffrey shot up from his chair. The sudden movement


    knocked over his cup, causing it to shatter on the floor


    “She has a child?! She actually has a child?! Are you sure?!” Jeffrey felt his mind go nk. It was as if


    he had just been struck by lightning, once and then again.


    Could it could it be what he was thinking?


    Im sure she does. Now will you spill it? Lane was truly left hanging by Jeffrey’s reaction.


    He initially thought that if he introduced Dorothy to Jeffrey, he could possibly offer some advice. But


    instead, Jeffrey had caused quite a stir, and he was still in the dark about what was going on.


    “How old is her daughter, do you know?”


    “I think two years old”


    Jeffrey’s mouth twitched involuntarily.


    Two years old…


    Then it definitely wasn’t Everett’s


    They had been separated for four years and hadn’t seen each other since. Jeffrey knew this because


    Everett had exhausted every possible channel to hear news about Dorothy but hade up empty


    handed


    Jeffrey’s energy, which had been so frenzied a moment ago, suddenly drained away as if he were a


    balloon that had been pricked.


    had bee


    “Is there something wrong with her being two years old? Spit it out! Are you trying to kill me with


    suspense


    Jeffrey waved his hand dismissively and took a deep breath. “You know Everett, night?”


    “Of course! Who wouldn’t know the CEO of Lopez Corporation? Don’t tell me


    “You guessed it.” Jeffrey nodded while looking at Lane. “Dorothy is Everett’s ex–girlfriend, no, ex–wife.”


    Even though he hated to acknowledge it, Everett and Dorothy had indeed been mamed,


    Lane’s eyebrows furrowed. “So why did they get a divorce? Did Mr. Lopez cheat?”


    “No, Dorothy fell out of love! Jeffrey couldn’t help but defend his best friend. “Everett gave up


    everything for her, even his own parents! But Dorothy just said she felt too much pressure being with


    him and left.”


    Lane didn’t respond to that. In his eyes, Dorothy didnt seem like the kind of person who would do such


    a thing


    She was so dedicated to her work and was not the type to back down when faced with challenges. She


    should be the same in rtionships


    As for the pressure, she was a staff member with no background who had struggled her way up to her


    current position based on her capabilities. The pressure must have been immense. What other


    pressure could be greater than that at work?


    Unless it came from other “pressures.”


    “Mr. Lopez’s parents didn’t approve of them, did they?”


    “Exactly” Jeffrey nodded “Dorothy didn’t have a good background, she basically had nothing. The


    Lopez family would never agree. They probably thought she was a gold digger”


    Lane guessed as much


    This was amon urrence in high society.


    Every couple who wanted to break the ss barrier and be together would face this problem.


    Especially for a family as wealthy as the Lopez’s, I was not surprising that they looked down on


    Dorothy


    “Dorothy is not the kind of person to sacrifice love for money.”


    “I know that too” Jeffrey understood the different viewpoints and positions in this matter, but he and felt


    that Dorothy had been too ruthless.


    “So, why were you so surprised when you heard Dorothy has a daughter? Lane finally realized the


    significance of this


    “They were married before, so I thought Dorothy’s daughter.”


    “Dorothy’s daughter is Everett’s?”
