Chapter 548
Amanda crushed back to the Lopez Estate, grateful that Jonathan hadn''t yet returned from the golf
course.
Her outing had been a stealthy affair, unnoticed by prying eyes.
She had intended to visit Heather out of old loyalty, but what she hadn''t expected was toe away
with a piece of information that set her on edge.
After giving it some thought, she dialed her son''s number.
The phone rang several times before Everett picked up.
"Mother"
Hearing that familiar word brought Amanda a moment offort.
"Hey! How''s the recoverying along? Still in pain?"
"I’m fine"
Everett''s response was as sinct as ever, void of any unnecessary embellishment.It had always
been like this.
Even before Everett met Dorothy, conversations between mother and son had been brief, usually cut
short by his workmitments.
Amanda felt isted.
She was struggling to bridge the gap to her son''s life, which was why she cherished Heather''s
presence so much.
Heather was young and worked close to Everett; she provided Amanda with snippets of her soris life as
well aspanionship in conversation.
"So, Dorothy...is she taking good care of you?"
Amanda hesitated before asking.
She was majorly assessing if Dorothy had got the sh drive by probing Everett''s attitude.
N?velDrama.Org owns this.
She thought that if Dorothy had solid evidence, she would definitely tell Everett and stir trouble between
her and her son.
"She''s doing great."
"Ah, well, I guess there''s not much I can say.Your father’s running the show now, and I''m stepping
back.Just call me if you need anything, and don''t forget to send a message every now and then!
Everett, no matter what, I''m your mother.You were born after a difficult ten-month pregnancy, and I
nearly traded my life for yours.How could I not care for you?"
"Sure, I will"
After hanging up, Amanda let out a sigh of relief.
It seemed that Dorothy hadn''t found anything yet.
After all, the surveince footage had been destroyed.
Even if Dorothy got the sh drive, it would be empty.
What was there to fear? She had been worrying over nothing.
Amanda patted her chest to calm her nerves and called out to the butler, ‘Come on, let''s go out to the
driveway and wait for the master.He should be returning soon, night?"
"Yes, Mrs.Lopez!"
In the hospital, Everett was exining thetest strategic shifts in the industry to Dorothy.
"By adopting a bank modelbining merchant and investment, we can build a better rtionship with
banks.
If we analyze from these angles, namely the factory''s construction, production, Operational
management, employee payroll, as well as mergers and acquisitions, the model will benefit the in-
depth coboration between both parties"
He spoke with authority, while Dorothy listened intently and jotted down notes.
Whenever she was confused, she''d look up with a questioning gaze.
And like sharing a brain, Everett instantly understood and patiently broke it down for her again.
"Our overseaspanies, which are often widespread, can help the group to make the ounts of
domestic and international subsidiaries transparent.That can further facilitate direct bank-corporate
connectivity and other group management functions." Dorothy nodded.
She couldn''t help but be impressed by Everett''s intellect.
His ideas were always innovative, meetingpany needs while simplifying management.
"So, the Lopez Corporations next move is to focus more internationally, right?"
"That''s the general n.We''re not ruling out the possibility of a sudden, favorable overseas
opportunity"
Everett nced at her, a slight smile ying on his lips.
"Thinking of leading a project on your own?’
‘Me?"
Dorothy blinked, taken aback, then shook her head.
‘No, I couldn''t possibly lead one."
