"I want the useless one," Everett Lopez mused, his voice deep and contemtive. "I haven''t made up my mind yet. I''lle to you once I do."


    Quincy pursed her lips, her fingertips twitching involuntarily.


    By the sound of it...


    Was there a chance he might change his mind?


    "You... you don''t object to marrying me?"


    "My dad said you''re the best fit for the Lopez family. And... you''re the only one right now who''s met my mother and could be considered a suitable choice."


    Everett''s tone was casual, but to Quincy, it was a glimmer of hope!


    The hope that she could finally marry Everett!


    Back in their days in Swevia Country, she had envied Dorothy Sanchez for having Everett''s fearless love! Now, to think that she could take that spot was unbelievable.


    "Then get in touch when you''ve decided!"


    "Mhm."


    Quincy stood up. "I won''t keep you from your work then. I''ll wait for your word."


    She reached the door, hand already on the doorknob, then paused and slightly turned her face.


    Her voice was solemn and serious.


    "Mr. Lopez, if you marry me, I swear I won''t break your heart like Ms. Sanchez did! You''ll be my number one, above family, friends, everyone."


    From Quincy''s perspective, the reason Dorothy and Everett ended up parting ways was that she didn''t prioritize him! What about avenging her mother? How could thatpare to her own happiness? Besides, the dead are already gone.


    Even if Amanda paid with her life, what would it change?


    Quincy would never make such a foolish mistake.


    "Is that so?"


    "I swear! I''ll give you the kind of love you want."


    Complete trust and always being the first.


    Everett just smiled, saying nothing more.


    The kind of love he wanted was something Quincy would never understand.


    Dorothy was serious about starting her ownpany.


    Whenever she had free time during the day, she was scouting for suitable locations in Eldorria City.


    Given that the Lopez Corporation


    was situated on the busiest


    ton


    When Karen Miller showed up unannounced, Dorothy was still on herputer and was taken aback. "Why didn''t you call ahead?"


    "Is it... inconvenient?" Karen nced around the room, curious.


    Dorothy shrugged, "What inconvenience? I was just surprised you dropped by so suddenly."


    Karen followed her inside, changed into slippers, and then walked over to the couch to sit down, pouting.


    "I had a fight with Jeffrey."


    "What about?"


    It seemed like there shouldn''t be anything for them to argue over now.


    "I just casually mentioned Heather


    Garcia, and he got all sulky and wouldn''t let it go! I don''t feel like coddling him." Karen crossed her arms and rolled her eyes.


    Dorothy raised an eyebrow, "Over that?"


    "Yeah! Over that! Can you believe it? You think it''s ridiculous too, right?!"


    Karen was so animated, she even pped her hands.


    Dorothy poured


    cup of coffee for


    her and sat down. "I think you''re the ous one. Why bring up


    r out of the bluest

    "It just slipped out! So, he can''t handle his own past being mentioned? Big man, but so fragile!"N?velDrama.Org content.
