If Everett knew that Dorothy had borne his child, and as a father, he was obligated to take responsibility, to marry Dorothy.
But Dorothy, she would never marry him! Everett's parents’ reaction to this news was something Jeffrey didn't dare to think about.
Before, he thought they were just fond of Heather and wanted her to be their daughter-in-law, as simple as that! But ever since he suspected them of being the force behind the death of Dorothy's mother, Jeffrey didn't see it that way anymore.
Apparently, anyone standing in their way had to be removed! Dorothy’s child would face a grim fate. Heather would be a terrible stepmother, and Dorothy was not accepted by the Lopez family. This was a dilemma, and it suddenly loomed before Everett.
Choosing Dorothy would mean Everett's mother could fall ill and pass away at any time, and Everett would lose the woman who had raised him all his life.
But to save his mother, he would have to abandon Dorothy.
In this situation, all Jeffrey could do was pray that the child really wasn't Dorothy's, or perhaps the child wasn't Everett's at all! At least the current balance could be maintained.
Heather hailed a taxi.
She first went to the Lopez Corporation, sorted out her files in the office, and clocked in before leaving the company.
She got into another car before dialing a virtual number on her phone.
"Are you sure you won't be found out?" "I know what I'm doing, don't worry! Don't forget my money." The voice on the other end was also synthetic.
Heather scoffed, "You're only interested in money! Don't worry, you won't miss a cent! Where's the child now?" "In a place only I know about.” "Don't let anyone find you! I've paid you plenty to keep your mouth shut, so don't make trouble for me." She had already transferred the money to his account.
When it came to these matters, she always paid promptly, never owing anything! After a few seconds, the other person replied, "Got it! But this child...are you sure it's not Everett's? Looks just like him." "Absolutely not his! How could you get Everett's child so easily? That's the future heir of the Lopez Corporation! This impostor is trying to create confusion and blackmail the Lopez family! You must have heard that the chairman of the Lopez Corporation and his wife, Amanda, have always only recognized me as their daughter-in-law, so how could they allow another woman to bear a child for the Lopez family?" "But I don't want to mess with the Lopez family." To be precise, no one wanted to mess with the Lopez family.
It wasn't a problem that could be resolved with money. It was practically asking for trouble.
"What are you afraid of with me here? Everything of the Lopez family has long been in my grasp. I have been laying low for so many years, and the things I've done for the Lopez family are unmatched.” The man laughed, "When will you be publicly acknowledged by Everett? I heard he..." "That's none of your business! He's busy and doesn't want to rush the wedding. That's why there's been no preparation. But hasn't the engagement been announced? He announced it himself." "So the mysterious bride everyone's talking about is you?" "Who else could it be?" Heather retorted.
The man chuckled, "Okay, what are you planning to do with the child?" Heather was silent for a while before she spoke, "How much to get rid of this child?"
