Everett couldn't directly lay a finger on Verity Holdings Limited; that company was truly formidable, so he had to bring them down through connections.
"Roger that." Kevin was at his best when it came to such tasks.
Sabotaging Verity Holdings Limited was no sweat off his brow. A few contract terminations, and it would crumble. But since the big boss had ordered its immediate downfall, it was clear that his patience was wearing thin.
He ventured a guess that it probably had something to do with Ms. Sanchez again.
Aside from her, no one could send Mr. Lopez into a frenzy.
"You're in Everglow City, Kevin?"
"Indeed."
"Bring the driver you hired last time in Everglow City to Havenbrook City." Everett was preparing for the worst-case scenario. If Dorothy insisted on thanking him in person, he needed that driver to be around.
"Understood!"
After hanging up the phone, Everett took off his suit jacket and unbuttoned his shirt, revealing his muscular shoulders.
From small nips to deep bites, his body was covered in teeth marks, each tinged with remnants of dried blood.
The fabric brushing against them brought forth a dull throb, but Everett didn't want them to disappear; he wished they could stay there forever.
Because these marks were from Dorothy.
She was the woman he had longed for for countless sleepless nights, the woman he couldn’t stop thinking about.
So, Everett didn't apply any medicine, nor did he see a doctor. He wanted the wounds to scab over and leave scars. He wanted them as a constant reminder of their night.
Before he could finish dressing, his phone suddenly rang.
Jeffrey always choked up at this point.
Everett waited for him to continue, but he suddenly changed the subject. “The Lopez Corporation is swamped with work at the moment. You really shouldn’t be wasting time pining for Dorothy. Plus, everyone is gossiping about your upcoming wedding. Several shareholders have called me to inquire about it. What should I tell them?”
“That’s my personal business.”
“Sure, it’s your business, but you’re the CEO of the Lopez Corporation. If you were an ordinary man, you could marry whoever you want, but that’s not the case now, is it?”
“Next time someone asks, tell them to ask me.”
Jeffrey sighed. “I really don’t get it. What’s so special about that Dorothy other than her looks? Lane’s the same as you right now. You suddenly left for Havenbrook City, and Lane followed suit. I’m starting to think you guys are in cahoots.”
“Who? Lane?”
“Yeah! My good friend, who also had a thing for Dorothy. I just called him, and he said he's in Havenbrook City too." Jeffrey suddenly realized something. "Ah! Dorothy’s in Havenbrook City now, right?"

Why didn't Jeffrey call Everett from the office? Lock his door instruct security to not let anyone in and speak to Everett on the phone? Or send him a text giving him a quick summary of what's up and that he's on his way over. That way when he runs into Heather on his way out he informs her Everett already knows....
