    Although Heather was unsure whether Everett had reconnected with Dorothy, she knew all too well the


    sway Dorothy had over him.


    She hoped that whoever was by Everett’s side was anyone but Dorothy


    Any other woman would be easier to deal with than Dorothy. It wasn’t that Dorothy was particrly


    talented or powerful, but rather that Everett was deeply invested in and in love with her.


    Heather was certain that Everett would never pour as much time and effort into another woman in his


    lifetime. So, as long as it was not Dorothy she was not concerned.


    After ncing at her wristwatch, she realized it was about time for her to leave.


    Heather changed into a sharply tailored business suit that entuated her aura ofpetence and


    authority. She was ready to return to Florria City and the Lopez Corporation. She had to assert her


    power and make it clear who the real winner was


    Inside the Lopez Corporation’s boardroom, Everett was engrossed in a project update from the


    investment department manager. His brow would furrow from me to time, signaling his dissatisfaction,


    which his assistant would promptly note.


    Dressed in a custom tailored ck suit, he sat silently in the chair of honor listening to the report. His


    silence caused a wave of fear among the team. They were scared of making any mistakes that might

    Kevin immediately nodded understand.”


    After he left, the meeting resumed


    It wasnt until the report was over that Everett coldly said, ‘Is this the best due diligence you can do for


    the project? You can’t even give me a precise revenue rate. Do you expect me to do the due diligence


    for your project?”


    “Mr. Lopez, give us some time. We will surely.”


    “This project is suspended indefinitely.” Everett didn’t Isten to his exnation. He stood up and said.


    “Meeting adjourned.”


    The manager in charge of the project was stunned. He tried to catch up with Everett

    to do the due diligence. The precise data will be avable soon it will be urate.”


    Normally, Everett would ignore such pleas.
