"You and I, we're not like Dorothy. The stress she's under, the worries from all sides, we can't truly grasp it. So no one's got the right to judge her," said Karen.

Jeffrey snorted. "But when it comes down to it, what did Everett do wrong?" Mulling it over seriously, Karen concluded, "He didn't keep his mom in check." "That's a bit biased, isn't it? His mom's actions aren't something Everett gets to call the shots on!" "So what if I'm biased?" Karen retorted with a shrug. "She's my bestie. Am | supposed to take Everett's side? You say he's innocent, but isn't Dorothy? If it hadn't been for Everett chasing after her, dragging her into this whole mess, maybe Dorothy's life would've been a bit tough, but at least her family would've been safe, not poisoned to death! With Dorothy's looks, snagging a rich guy would've been a cakewalk. Take Kenneth, for example — he'd have said 'l do in a heartbeat!" Even now, if Dorothy agreed to marry him, Kenneth would lay down his entire fortune at her feet without a second thought, willing and eager.

"My friend's no slouch either! He's the CEO of Lopez Corp; he could have any woman he wanted." "Exactly! So why's he got this secret torch for Dorothy?" Jeffrey had no answer.

Karen huffed. "Don't try to argue this with me. | know you're tight with Everett. But in my eyes, as long as Dorothy hasn't betrayed our nation, she can do no wrong!" Returning to her apartment, Dorothy was exhausted from the day's events, but sleep eluded her. Not wanting to waste time on idle thoughts, she washed her face and booted up her laptop to work.

She logged onto the Lopez Corp's software out of habit and glanced at the meeting channel.

Everett was in a meeting.

Although she couldn't see his account online, she knew he was in a meeting because no one but the CEO had access to conference room 1.

The meeting's topic was about the ‘Sunset’ domestic project. Dorothy remembered Jeffrey mentioning that Everett was selling the Bay Residence. It seemed that the villa in Snowfall City would likely go too, but the ‘Sunset’ project was already underway and couldn't be shelved.

After logging out of the channel, Dorothy opened her project files and began summarizing.

With her departure from Lopez Corp drawing near, she wanted to ensure she left nothing unfinished to avoid causing problems for her successor.

Head down, she worked straight through the night.

Now she understood why Everett drowned himself in work—it was a good distraction.

Suddenly, a pair of black leather shoes came into view, stopping right in front of her.

With her body frozen, she slowly looked up...
