Chapter 751
Dorothy couldn't shake the feeling that something was off.
But she knew Karen still had a soft spot for Jeffrey, and now with a baby on the way, a reconciliationseemed normal.
After all, Karen was safe with Jeffrey.
"Mmm," Dorothy pondered for a moment before advising, "Jeffrey, you better have squared thingsaway with your ex. Karen's pretty sensitive, and you know how tough it was for her to take that firststep towards you."
"I get it! Don't worry. I'll tie up all loose ends with Paige."
Dorothy furrowed her brows.
She had a nagging suspicion about Jeffrey's words—they had a hint of malice, even though he wassmiling as he said them.
"Karen's pregnant; take extra care of her, especially with her diet. She's been sleeping a lot lately,eating less because of it. Keep an eye on that."
"Yeah, I'll get the best nutritionist for her! She's carrying my child; how could I neglect her?"
That was reassuring.
Dorothy could see just how well Jeffrey treated Karen. She let out a sigh of relief.novelbin
Her own nerves had been frayed lately, what with Karen's breakup and the threat of getting rid ofthe baby. Now that the couple was back together, it was like a weight had been lifted.
"Just don't fight again. Be patient with her; women can be a bit emotionally unpredictable duringpregnancy."
"As if I'd dare. I'm just grateful she's back with me! And Dorothy, thanks for taking Karen downstairsyesterday."
"Don’t mention it. I just thought you two should talk things through before making a decision aboutthe baby."
Dorothy didn't probe any further about Everett's whereabouts and hung up the phone.
She had just checked out of her hotel room to return to her apartment when she received a call froma law firm.
"Hello, is this Dorothy Sanchez? This is West Legal Services."
West Legal Services?
The most renowned law firm in Eldorria City?
"Hello, this is Dorothy. What can I do for you?"
"We've seen your request for representation, and we're willing to take on your case! When would bea good time for you to come in so we can meet and discuss the details?"
Dorothy was taken aback by the sudden good news.
After steadying herself, she reminded the caller.
"Have you read my request thoroughly? The defendant is—"
"The Lopez Corporation, right? Yes, we've reviewed it and believe your evidence is very substantial.Plus, the case has significant implications. Winning could be great PR for our firm! After consideringall factors, we'd like to take it on."
Dorothy still felt like she was dreaming.
She quickly asked, "Can I come to your office today to sign the representation agreement?"
Once the representation agreement was signed, the case would officially be in their hands!
She had had firms willing to take it on before, but they'd all backed out at the last minute.
So Dorothy still wasn't sure if they would take it on.
"Sure! Ms. Sanchez, are you available today?"
"Yes! How about in an hour? I'll bring all my evidence and documents to your office."
"Perfect! We'll be waiting for you."
After ending the call, Dorothy stood rooted to the spot for several minutes before rushing back toher apartment.
She had to get that representation agreement signed without delay!
