"Alright. The scenery here is great. Let's drink until we drop before | leave.” The voice on the other end of the phone chuckled. "I'm mainly going to see a beauty. You think I'm going to meet you? The woman who could make you come back from abroad must be an exceptional beauty." An exceptional beauty? Lane smirked at this comment.

"She's not the party type." "A good wife and mother?! Your taste has changed so much!" "Well, she's not exactly a homemaker, but when | look at her and her strong, independent demeanor, | feel like she'd make an excellent wife." Wife?! After hearing this, the person on the other side almost laughed out loud. "Are you kidding? You're considering marriage?! Didn't we agree that no one should get married? Fun is fun, but don't get emotional, or it ends badly. There's a bloody example right next to me." Lane sipped from his wine glass. "Oh? You mean Everett, the CEO of the Lopez Corporation? He just announced his marriage, right?" "Bingo! You got it! Can you believe that? The CEO of the Lopez Corporation, who could have any woman he wants, is head over heels for just one woman! He gave up the whole forest for a single tree! Lane, don't follow in his footsteps; stay cool." "You haven't met her yet. After spending time with her, | suddenly feel like marriage wouldn't be so bad." The man on the other end of the call almost rolled his eyes at him. "Wake up! She's married! Even if she gets a divorce, she'll be on her second marriage.” "I don't care." Lane smiled as his eyes revealed his deep fascination for Dorothy. "My admiration for her is not affected by these things." "Stop! I'm booking a flight right now! I've met the woman who bewitched Everett; now | want to see what the woman who bewitched you looks like." Dorothy spent one night in the hospital and applied for discharge the next day.

There were piles of work waiting for her at the construction site. How could she just spend all day lying in a hospital bed? "If you don't rest for a few more days, Lane will blame me." Austin quickly walked over when he saw her at the construction site.

"I'm fine now." Dorothy handed the contract to Austin. "I checked this last night. There are no problems. If you're not at ease with the food bidding at the resort, you can ask a professional to take a look. I've outlined several key points, and the bidding suggestions are all in the file. Lane has emphasized the food safety issue many times before. We must pay close attention to this and can't let the resort be involved in any negative news." Austin gave her a thumbs up. "I trust you!" Dorothy smiled and was about to leave, then suddenly stopped. "Hey, Austin, | heard that the man who hit me has been detained and is awaiting prosecution.” "Yes. That's what the police said." "Didn't | suffer minor injuries?" Otherwise, for such a small injury, it would be at most detention plus compensation. Dorothy did not expect the man to face criminal charges.

"They said the specifics could not be disclosed. But it seems like someone above has given an order to severely punish those who hit you." Dorothy frowned. "Did Lane do this? We really shouldn't be making enemies with these villagers." Austin shrugged. "It wasn’t Lane. We don't know who it was. Everglow City is not Lane's territory, so even if he were to get involved, it would be useless. The person behind this must be quite powerful; otherwise, the locals would have definitely sided with their own villagers."
