Chapter 882


    However, the very next second, she unlocked her phone and pulled up the call history, nearly


    choking on her own spit.


    There were many calls made to Everett''s number.


    "I really can''t handle my liquor." She coughed as she mused.


    Thankfully, Dorothy remembered thatst night, it seemed like Everett had cklisted her number.


    Just to be sure, she shakily dialed once more.


    "Hello, the number you have dialed has—"


    Dorothy didn''t even wait to hear the rest from the robotic voice of the customer service before she


    hung up in a hurry.


    Yeah, that''s right, cklisted. Her memory was still on point. That was a close call!


    ...


    Inside the ck Maybach.


    Kevin sneaked a cautious nce at his boss through the rear-view mirror and spoke up, "Mr. Lopez,


    Mr. Turner has taken your ce at the conference."


    "Mhm."Everett''s gaze lingered on hisptop screen, his thick eyebrows slightly furrowed, paying no


    mind to Kevin''s words. He dared not say anything further and drove straight to the office.


    The Lopez Corporation''s recent projects had beenrgely focused on high-tech electronic products,


    which meant Everett''s attention was mostly there, resulting in a myriad of scattered tasks.


    "If TSP Corp. can develop a newer driving energy source, then I''m definitely in, but right now


    everyone is working on electric energy, and that has already hit the market. In that case, I''m sitting


    this one out."


    Everett stepped out of the car, striding into the building and heading straight for the CEO''s private


    elevator, all the while on the phone with a partner.


    The person on the other end sounded desperate to convince him to invest, "Although our TSP is


    working on electric energy, our cars have many advantages and patented projects! Shall I have my


    secretary send you the details for review?"


    "No need for that, just give me the gist of it now."


    "Many customers hesitate to buy electric cars mainly because of the battery issues! We at TSP


    have conquered this challenge. We guarantee our batteries for over five years, and any problems


    within this period, ourpany will recall the vehicles!"


    It was indeed a catchy selling point.

    But...


    Everett smirked faintly, "Kevin, the points you just mentioned would attract people to buy TSP''s


    cars, not investors."


    If they were to recall vehicles unconditionally at the sign of trouble as he mentioned, it would be


    great for customers, but the investment costs and profit margins would certainly take a hit.


    The Lopez Corporation was in the business of investing, not charity; profits were still the priority.


    "But more people will trust TSP, and that''s an advantage in itself!"


    "I''ll consider it," Everett replied, which was nearly synonymous with a polite refusal.


    After hanging up, the elevator reached the executive office floor.


    He pushed the door open and entered, finding the ce as immacte as it was when he left


    Eldorria City months ago.


    "Mr. Lopez, the reason for your sudden return to the country is..." Kevin couldn''t contain his curiosity


    any longer.


    After all, Jeffrey had been sent to attend the conference, which ordinarily meant Mr. Lopez wouldn''t


    be back so soon. He was utterly baffled when he received Mr. Lopez''s call early in the morning


    asking him to pick him up at the airport!


    "It''s because today is my mother''s court hearing."


    "Oh!" So that was it. "Do you need me to arrange a ride to the courthouse for you?"


    "No need." Everett raised his hand to massage his temples. "Don''t tell anyone about my return,


    including Jeffrey."


    "Understood."


    Just as Kevin was about to leave, Everett suddenly spoke up again. "Go buy a second-hand Passat


    and park it in my garageter."
