Chapter 435

Lane wasn’t one to dwell on Dorothy’s past.

As long as her future was with him, that’s all that mattered!

As for Heather’s remark about Dorothy’s mother being the other woman, whether it was true or false

held no significance for Lane. He wouldn’t even bother to investigate.

He had known Dorothy for more than a hot minute, dating back to her first day at East Star Enterprises.

Witnessing her ascent through the ranks, he observed her tenacious defense of projects time and time

again. It was her resilience and perseverance that Lane truly valued.

“Do you truly not mind that she’s had another man’s kids?” Heather asked.

“Of course, it bothers me, but I don’t care. It’s all in the past, and she hadn’t met me back then, right?

What’s important is that she belongs to me now.”

The more Lane spoke like this, the more Heather seethed with anger,

In Heather’s eyes, Dorothy didn’t deserve Lane! That woman should have met her demise alongside

her mother! If it weren’t for them, how could her own mother have been the talk of the town, shamed for

years?

But then it struck her

If Lane could assist in breaking them up now, it might not be a bad idea! After all Everett’s mother had

already planned to make Dorothy disappear for good. Whether Dorothy could be protected was Lane’s

problem! And if Dorthy were to die, it wouldn’t be considered a breach of their agreement, right?

“I can see that you are truly in love with Dorothy, just as I am with Everett! Shall we talk business then?

Her sudden change of attitude raised Lane’s eyebrows..

“You have to promise me you won’t hurt Dorothy

“Don’t worry. If I wanted to hurt her how would she still be living so comfortably after all these years? If

she hadn’t reappeared in Everett’s life, I wouldn’t have anything to do with her Heather explained with a

sigh. “It’s a twisted fate. If I had stayed by Everett’s side, he never would’ve used Dorothy as my stand–

in, and none of what followed would have happened.”

Lane glanced at Heather’s face.

True, she bore some resemblance to Dorothy. But Dorothy was serene and gentle, while Heather

seemed to carry an underlying sharpness, a hidden malice that she couldn’t conceal no matter how

hard she tried

“I’m not interested in your history with Everett, but if you hurt Dorothy, I won’t let you off the hook

either.”

Heather shrugged nonchalantly and smiled, ‘Deal! I promise you”

Everett had cooked up a storm, a table full of dishes that were a feast for the senses.

Langston had been staying with him for a while and had probably put on a good few pounds!

“Take it easy, you’ll have trouble digesting if you eat too quickly at night Everett would always say,

meticulously picking out the bones from the fish before serving it to Langston.

Dorothy felt at ease with her son being with Everett. If it weren’t for the threats from the Lopez family,

she knew just how caring Everett

could be

Holding her bowl, Dorothy watched as Langston gobbled up the meat Everett had served him, smiling

up at him repeatedly. The sight. twisted her heart with an increasing ache

*Excuse me, I need to use the restroom”

She couldn’t bear it any longer, her eyes were already showing hints of redness. She stood up and left,

hoping to compose herself without letting Everett notice anything amiss.

No sooner had Dorothy left than Everett instinctively thought to follow and check on her, but Langston

tugged at his shirt first.

“Are you planning to have Mommy stay over tonight?”

Everett paused in surprise. “You have a plan?”

“Sure do! But you have to let me into the Lopez Corporation’s CEO’s back end just oncel”

Everett nodded without hesitation, “It’s a deal”
