    Chapter 392


    Heather, across the table, was more flustered than him, but she pulled herself together faster than


    Jeffrey.


    “So, you im to trust me, yet you’re digging into me?” She was no fool and instantly grasped the


    situation, “If you truly trusted me, you would’ve dialed this number with your own cell, not some random


    one! Aren’t you just afraid that if it’s me, I’d recognize your number?”


    Jeffrey was at a loss for words.


    Indeed, he hesitated at thest moment and opted to dial using his assistant’s private number, just to


    avoid that!


    But was that the crux of the matter?

    “Heather, have you lost your mind? Do you really intend to harm Everett’s child? He’s just a boy, how


    could you do such a thing!”


    “I haven’t done anything to him; it’s just that Everett’s parents wanted to see the kid, so I had him taken


    away!” Heather had already prepared her cover story in case things went south, readily throwing


    Amanda under the bus.


    But Jeffrey wasn’t a foot he just didn’t want to think too much about it!


    “if his parents really wanted to see the kid, you wouldn’t have taken him to some remote warehouse,


    you would’ve handed him directly to his parents!”


    “I just…”


    “Stop making up excuses. I won’t be fooled by you again! I’m going to see Everett right now


    He hung up, leaving Heather genuinely scared


    Before Jeffrey could leave his office, Heather rushed over from the legal department.


    She looked downright disheveled, a far cry from her usual grace and poise


    “You can’t go to Everett! He must not find out about this?


    “And then what? Do you want me to help you keep hiding this? Heather, I just regret not telling Everett


    sooner that you evenid a hand on Dorothy’s mother!”


    He really thought that Heather, after driving Dorothy away, would stop.


    He really thought that there were other men between Dorothy and Everett, which led to their divorce


    But the more he understood Heather, the more he realized that the truth was far from what he had


    imagined; it was even more terrifying.


    “I didn’t! It was all Everett’s parents! Jeffrey, how could I have done all that? I was just following his


    parents‘ orders. You must believe me!” Heather was so scared that she tried to grab Jeffrey’s hand.


    She couldn’t let everything copse! Before marrying Everett, before giving birth to his child, the truth


    had to be kept a secret!


    She had to secure her position as thedy of the Lopez Corporation; she needed to have an


    unbreakable connection with Everett!


    “Get lost, I don’t want to talk to a liar


    Jeffrey brushed off Heather and was about to leave.


    But Heather blocked him with all her might, even using her body to stop Jeffrey’s pushes.


    “Jeffrey, listen to me! You can ask Everett’s parents; I was just following their orders!”


    “I won’t listen, you can exin to Everett! I won’t be an aplice anymore!”


    With that cold statement


    Jeffrey pushed Heather aside and entered the elevator


    Seeing that Jefferey was probably heading to Bay Residence by car, as Everett wasn’t at the office,


    Heather realized this might be her only chance!


    She clenched her fists, steeling her resolve.


    Since things had gotten to this point


    “Jeffrey, if you insist on this, don’t me me for being ruthless
