In a fleeting moment, a torrent of emotions flickered across Everett's eyes.

He had things he wanted to say. He wanted to ask her why she agreed to join the trip. He also wanted to ask what she thought after last night's debacle.

But Dorothy had already turned to take little Abigail's hand, saying, "Jeffrey booked a separate room just for you and me. Don't worry, there won't be a repeat of last night." She wasn't going to drink again.

Everett bit his lips. It wasn't last night's events that worried him, though.

Ever since the unpleasant fallout with his son, Jonathan Lopez tried calling Everett several times, but all calls went unanswered.

He had completely shut down communication.

His wife had been subpoenaed by the court to testify. Although she was still defiant since that began, she was clearly scared and constantly asking when their son would return.

When indeed? He wished he knew too.

"If it comes to it, I'll head to Liberty City myself and find him," Jonathan couldn't just sit around waiting.

If Dorothy had irrefutable evidence and they started asking for the suspect to be handed over, it would be too late for everything.

"I'll come with you!" Amanda insisted. She was determined to join him since she worried her son would avoid her.

"I'll go first; you really shouldn't be traveling right now. We don't have a clear picture of how far the case has progressed, and what if you get detained at the airport? You're at least safe here." Jonathan figured his last resort was to refuse to hand over his wife and keep her hidden at all costs. After all, sending her to prison would be no different from sending her to her death! "Alright, I'll listen to you," Amanda finally acquiesced.

She even had the servants pack her husband's suitcase, showing uncharacteristic diligence.

Only when Jonathan checked with his contacts in Liberty City did he learn that Everett had already returned to his home country! It was obvious that it was because of Dorothy.

But what worried Jonathan was the haste in his son's return—had Dorothy come up with new evidence? He couldn't fully trust his wife's version of events; after all, he had been burned before.

"Jonathan, do you know where Heather is?" Amanda had thought long and hard overnight and finally came up with a potential breakthrough.

"Everett took her away, I'm not sure where he’s detaining her. I've checked the routes; it seems to be domestic. But knowing Everett, he wouldn't let me find out so easily." He knew his son well enough.

"But you're the one deciding to carry out the plan in the surveillance footage!" "But Heather can just say that | didn't know anything, that | was only following her and thus decided that." Jonathan paused, "Go on." "That way, at worst, I'll only be charged with negligence. And with a bit of maneuvering, it'll all blow over!" "Do you think Heather would agree?"

"Let her think about it! Dorothy's plan is to have both Heather and me face the death penalty-jieathier ohn? sare herdnarge; she knows her motive for the crime is clear. If we can talk, maybe she'll be willing to protect me." Please read the original content at english.net.
