Jeffrey nodded. His eyes were still blurry from his hangover, and it was accompanied by a trild

headache.

Lane watched him shuffle into the bathroom to freshen up; all the while, his gaze flickered to Jelfmy’s

cell phone lying on the table.

There were several missed calls from Heather

Speaking of Heather. Lane knew her well. She had made quite a name for herself in the business

world. She also fought teeth and nal for the Lopez Corporation.

He also knew about Heather’s fondness for Everett,

Lane hesitated for a moment, then went over to effrey’s contact Ist, found Heather’s number, and made

a note of it

“I’m planning on leaving tomorrow. I’ve already booked my fight “Jeffrey suddenly emerged from the

bathroom while toweling off his face Lane was taken aback, but luckily Jeffrey didn’t notice him fiddling

with his phone.

“You’re not staying a bit longer?”

“Nah, there’s a lot o

t going on at the company Everett, that workaholic freak, took on a few big projects, and there are

some overseas inspections. I need to get back to help

Lane raised an eyebrow. He’s going abroad too?

‘I don’t know, but Kevin and him went off to some place” Jeffrey paused and looked at Lane What about

you? Aren’t you leaving?” Jeffrey assumed that since Dorothy had rejected him and Lane knew about

Dorothy and Everett, he would give up.

“Well I’m not leaving for now “Lane’s lips curved upwards. Im very invested in the Everglon City project

I plan to stay until its completed”

“It’s just a resort project. Why are you so keen on it?” Jeffrey frowned as he looked suspiciously at him.

“You still haven’t given up on Dorothy, have you? She’s not worth it Even Everett, who treated her like a

queen, couldn’t win her over In front of Dorothy, Everett even comprem sed his principles You stand no

chancel”

Lane shrugged nonchalantly. “We’ll see. Maybe ill outdo Everett.”

“You can’t! Everett almost broke ties with the Lopez family for her, and he’s been infatuated with her for

years. Do you have that kind of persistence?”

“I do” Lane was more interested in a woman that even Everett couldn’t get.

Everyone in the business world knew about Everett’s power. It was unparalleled. Yet he couldn’t win

over Dorothy.

What if he Lane, married Dorothy and became the stepfather to her daughter? Wouldn’t that be a

victory?

This was his one chance to triumph over Everett.

Jeffrey waved a dismissive hand. “Whatever I don’t see what’s so great about Dorcity. She has you and

Everett wrapped around her tile finger. Is it because she’s beautiful? Aren’t there plenty of beautiful

women around you twe?”

“There are, but they’re not Dorothy.”

“You’re hopeless.” Jeffrey rolled his eyes. “Good luck then! But if you do end up with Dorothy. I’m afraid

I won’t be able to attend your wedding.”

He didn’t want to witness Dorothy marrying someone else, and if Everett found out, it would be hard to

explain.

“Thanks for your well wishes.”

“Ha! You’re actually serious?!” Jeffrey snorted and tossed his towel at Lane. “Aren’t you afraid of

crossing Everett? You’re both in the business world, and he’s the investor in your project”
