Chapter 897


    "Get her location and send it to me! Now!"


    "What''s wrong?"


    Everett didn''t have time to exin, "Just do it!" his voice suddenly escted.


    Jonathan jumped at the urgency, "Ah, okay! I''m on it!"


    ...


    "You know, I''m rather curious about how you managed to snag my son."


    With things already out in the open, Amanda figured she might as well clear up her own confusion.


    Dorothy was undoubtedly attractive, that much was undeniable. But Everett''s social circle was a


    veritable runway of beauties! There were plenty more dazzling and beautiful than her.


    "I didn''t snag him. He was the one who came after me." Dorothy also spoke the truth.


    But Amanda wasn''t buying it, "You expect me to believe that you didn''t scheme from the get-go to


    marry my son for his money?"


    "For the money, yes."


    Amanda let out a derisive snort, "So there you have it! You still deny that you were the one who


    lured my son in? Maybe he came after you first, but if you weren''t intending on having him spend


    his money on you, none of this would''ve started!"


    Dorothy''s gaze fell as she picked up her coffee cup and took a sip.


    Bitter with a tang of sour.


    It wasn''t to her taste.


    "I don''t have the time to waste on you," Amanda came over without even ordering a drink, clearly


    nning on making a swift exit. In her eyes, Dorothy wasn''t worth lingering over, "So, name your


    price. As long as it''s not outrageous, I’ll consider it money well spent to rid myself of a nuisance."


    Money was the only thing that the Lopez family was nevercking.


    "I don''t want your money."


    Dorothy''s reply was just as blunt. Her smile was wry, "Haven''t you ever considered? If I was after


    money, I could''ve just asked Everett directly. Given how much he loves me, would he ever refuse


    me anything?"


    It was at that moment Amanda realized something was amiss! Her guard went up a notch, but not


    by much.


    After all, Dorothy hade alone; what was the worst she could do?


    "If not money, then what do you want?" she paused, squinting her eyes, "You want to marry into the


    Lopez family, don''t you? Well, let me tell you, I''ll never consent to it! Even if Everett''s father agrees,


    I''ll never ept you as my daughter-inw!"


    But Dorothy just shook her head, "That''s not it either."


    "Then what in the world do you want?"


    "Don''t you know what you owe?" Dorothy suddenly lifted her gaze and smiled, "Have you ever


    heard the saying? ''The blood must be answered with—blood."


    Exactly. Today was the day Dorothy intended to exact that reckoning on Amanda!


    Since the court couldn''t punish her crimes, Dorothy would personally escort her to meet Be.


    As Dorothy spoke, a knife appeared in her hand out of nowhere. She had already been eyeing


    Amanda''s heart, even shifted her chair for the perfect angle to strike!


    There was only one chance, and she couldn''t miss.


    Amanda, terrified, barely had time to react before Dorothy had firmly seized her arm.


    "If ourmon lives are so worthless, then just join me in death, you high and mightydy!"


    Dorothy bit down hard, driving the knife with fierce determination—


    She felt the de pierce flesh, but the body wasn''t Amanda''s!

    "Dorothy!" Everett''s voice thundered, halting her like a blow to the head.


    She hadn''t expected him to arrive at the crucial moment, stepping in to take the knife meant for his


    mother!


    In her panic, Dorothy instinctively withdrew the de.


    Blood gushed forth, spraying her face! And sttering all around.


    It showed a blinding crimson red...
