Chapter 793


    "I—"


    "And I''ve said it before, haven''t I? The moment Heather dared toy a finger on my son, I knew I


    didn''t want that witch around anymore!"


    Amanda took a deep breath, "It was onlyter when I went to see her that she mentioned the


    missing sh drive! Who could''ve guessed, huh? That very drive ended up in Dorothy''s hands!"


    What a stroke of luck that was!


    "Ha, who could''ve guessed? I bet Heather could''ve!"


    "What do you mean?"


    "She was so brazen because she had your backing. She figured if things really hit the fan, you


    being Everett''s mother and all, he''d naturally cover for you. And with your dirtyundry in her hands,


    Everett would have no choice but to protect her too!"


    But Heather miscalcted, not foreseeing that Dorothy mattered more than anything in Everett''s


    heart,. Now, he didn''t even care about his own mother.


    "That can''t be... Heather, she''s always been by my side, and she is so loyal. You''ve seen it yourself!


    And that incident—"


    "That incident?" Jonathan scoffed, "I''m only so tied up right now; otherwise, I''d have dug deeper.


    We should really check if that ''kidnapping'' was a natural disaster or Heather''s way of worming into


    your life!"


    "That kidnapping couldn''t have been staged! If Heather was behind it, there''s no way she could''ve


    kept everyone quiet about it. You pressed those guys hard, and they would''ve rather died than rat


    out Heather. Don''t let your suspicions get the better of you."


    Jonathan waved dismissively, "Let it be. I''m not interested in digging up the past. Right now, I can


    only beg our son for mercy. You''d better think of what to say to him too. As long as he stays out of it,


    dealing with Dorothy will be easy."


    "He''s not even in Elysian Country. How am I supposed to talk to him?"


    "I''ll find a way to call him back."


    Jonathan saw that Dorothy was seriously pushing the issue, and it couldn''t be ignored any longer.


    He had hoped to dy and wait for his son''s interest in Dorothy to wane, but the court had called to


    demand cooperation with the investigation. Now that it was a criminal case, some damage was


    inevitable. Getting out unscathed was nearly impossible.


    ...


    Dorothy had juste back from a meeting when she saw Karen waiting at her office door.


    "Karen?"

    "Surprise!" Karen walked over, looping her arm through Dorothy''s cheerfully, "Jeffrey had toe in


    for an important board meeting, a direct order from Everett that he couldn’t reject. He was worried


    I''d get bored at home, so he brought me along."


    Dorothy ushered her into the office, quickly guiding her to the couch.


    "You''re pregnant and the morning sickness is rough; you shouldn''t be running around!"


    "It''s fine! You were working while pregnant with twins, remember? Compared to you, I''m practically


    withering away in luxury!"


    "Whypare yourself to me? My situation was different, and I didn''t have a choice."


    Dorothy didn''t really want to reminisce about her pregnancy. That hardship was in the past, and it


    was best left there.


    "Pfff." Karen shook her head, lounging on the couch with her legs propped up, "Anyway, did you


    hear what Keh asked Jeffrey to do?"


    Dorothy was taken aback. "About me?"


    "Uh-huh! He wants Jeffrey to betray Everett."


    Dorothy frowned.


    "Can you believe Keh? After all these years, he still hasn''t given up. It''s kind of impressive,


    really!"


    Karen had thought Keh had moved on.
