Suddenly, the nEverett cup, and Dorothy froze for a moment. Karen, ever the oblivious one, didn't notice anything amiss, but Kenneth, with his sharp senses, detected something off in Dorothy's reaction. Yet, he didn't say anything. After all, he wasn't privy to the details. Perhaps it was just a simple quarrel.

"Everett's got his hands full! His mom just passed away, and the company needs him," Jeffrey quickly jumped in to defend his brother, wary of Kenneth seeing an opportunity to make a move. But Kenneth, clever as he was, picked up on the key information.

Amanda passed away? No wonder...

Dorothy's pallor earlier and her reaction now made sense. If he wasn't wrong, this must be the reason for their upset.

"Ah, right, he's too busy to pickup. I'll just catch a cab back hlater; you guys don't need to worry about me." Karen nodded, "You didn't argue with Everett over his mom's passing, did you?" Dorothy quickly laughed it off, "Of course not! How could I add to his troubles at a tlike this?" "That's good! And hey, if Everett ever gives you a hard time, you letknow." After Karen spoke, she realized that her cousin was also present. Maybe... it wasn't quite appropriate to discuss this matter in front of him.

Kenneth sensed the atmosphere in the room grow tense and offered a wry smile, "You all don't need to overthink or worry about me. How long have I been courting Dorothy? I'm well aware of her situation with Everett." The others fell silent, unsure of how to continue the conversation. Only Kenneth sighed to himself, "I stand no chance against Everett unless he steps back himself. But I've tried enough times to know it won't happen." "Did he really say that?" "Yes!" Jeffrey's voice suddenly pitched higher, his phone nearly flying out of his hand, "Kenneth said, unless you step back voluntarily." And now, Everett was indeed...

"Find a way to keep him from breaking up with that Eleanor." "Man, you're puttingin a tough spot," Jeffrey lamented, on the verge of tears. "Kenneth and I barely talk, let alone him listening toknowing I'm on your side." S Back in the hospital room, Jeffrey had already given Karen several warning glances. But now, Everett could only rely on him.

"Didn't you say Eleanor herself admitted she likes Kenneth?" "Yeah! She even ran out crying that day!" "Then make Eleanor find a way to cling to Kenneth." Whether it's guilt-tripping, making a scene, or whatever it takes, they just can't break up! As long as Kenneth has a girlfriend, he'll stay put. S Everett simply didn't have the energy to compete with Kenneth anymore, not with Quincy already taking up all his attention.

"Ah? But I'm even less acquainted with Eleanor!" Jeffrey had only met her a few times...

"I'm asking you to solve this problem, not question me." || || "This is your task now! Today Quincy lalready sensed discord betweenand Dorothy, she's made several attempts." Everett paused for a moment, his voice deepening, need this resolved quickly, to keep Dorothy out of this mess." He feared that one day, he might end up like his father, watching the love of his life slip away outside an emergency room.
