Dorothy still curled up in that familiar fetal position, a habit that years hadn't managed to change.
Everett slipped under the blanket, drawing her into his embrace.
"You've gotnow. I'll make you feel safe. No need to curl up like this anymore. No need to be scared." Of course, Dorothy, deep in her dreams, didn't hear his whisper. But feeling his presence, she instinctively snuggled closer, settling comfortably in his arms. For Everett, this moment meant everything.

As long as she was by his side.
Back at her place, Quincy started to evaluate her assets.
Her wealth wasn't much, most of her parents' fortune was earmarked for Simeon. How could they leave anything significant for her? It was only thanks to her medical skills that she landed a job as the chief physician at the Lopez Corporation's private clinic, allowing her to save a bit of money. Before she could figure out how much to give Dorothy, Ronin's call cthrough.
Ever since Quincy confided in him, Ronin had been a bundle of nerves, fearing any mishap with his daughter could drag the entire Caldwell family down. "Have you gone through with your plan? Did you... poison Everett?" Ronin's voice trembled as he spoke.
He hadn't dared to tell Simeon, fearing he'd blabber about it.
"Why worry? I've got it under control," Quincy responded, clearly annoyed at having to deal with him.
"Can't you cluein on your plans? This matter involves the Caldwell family too, and I'm worried it might affect my company!" "If that's the case, go tell the Lopez family you've disowned me." "Would they believe that?" Quincy scoffed, "Since you know they won't believe it, we're in the sboat here. So stop bothering me!" Her disdain for him was palpable.
In front of Ronin, Quincy didn't bother to mask her true feelings.
"You! Don't forget you cbegging to me!" "I haven't forgotten. You agreed because you feared for the Caldwell family's ruin. Do you actually think i'd be grateful, assuming you did it out of love for your daughter?" Quincy said jotting down her assets on a piece of paper.

"The Caldwell family has an office building in Eldorria City, right?" She remembered her father mentioning it, planning to start a company there for Simeon. "What are you planning?" "I'm giving that building to Dorothy." Ronin almost lost it.
"To Dorothy? Have you lost your mind? but that woman's been nothing but trouble for your plans with
Everett, and instead of getting rid of her, you're giving her gifts?
"Dorothy gave Everett two kids. If she wants money and gets the property, ΠΙ she'll cut ties with Exekett: Fneed to eliminates with eliminate any rivals first. That way, Everett can marrywithout any distractions."
"That's absurd. Why should my wealth be used for this? Everett Has plenty of properties. Let him provide!" X
