Female Novel
Chapter 869
Stephen's eyes bulged in shock! "East Star Enterprises got bought out because of Ms. Sanchez?"
How ludicrous!
"Yep, all because of her," said Austin.
Stephen blinked and then laughed, waving his hand dismissively. "Come on, Austin, you're laying iton thick! Even if you don't want me to go after Ms. Sanchez, there's no need to scare me off!"
"Hey, you think I'm trying to scare you?" Austin smacked his lips. "Then go ahead, give it a shot. Iwish you luck, man."
As long as it doesn't affect the fourth project team, that's cool.
"Pfft, challenge accepted!"
...
Dorothy returned to her office and finished all her work for the morning. When lunch break rolledaround, she started packing up her personal belongings, making it easier to leave when herresignation came through.
Truth be told, she didn't have much to pack. After all, she knew when she joined the fourth projectteam that she'd be leaving in six months.
Once everything was packed, Dorothy wasn't in the mood to eat. She decided to just sit in her chairand check her phone.
Before she could even open her news app, Karen's call came through.
"Dorothy!"novelbin
If it were anyone else on the receiving end of Karen's booming voice, they might think somecatastrophe had struck. But Dorothy was used to it.
"What's up?"
"How can you be so calm? Brace yourself because what I'm about to tell you is big news!"
Dorothy's brow furrowed slightly. What was with the mystery?
"Go ahead, I'm ready."
"Everett! He actually sold Bay Residence! The buyer finalized the payment today, and I saw thetransaction on Jeffrey's account with my own eyes!"
"Oh, didn't you already tell me about that?"
Bay Residence was a peaceful and spacious place, a real gem, so it was no surprise it sold easily.
"You're this calm?" In contrast, Karen sounded more like she was the one involved. "Dorothy, thismeans Everett's truly let go of what you two had. After all, wasn't Bay Residence practically yourlove nest?"
Dorothy thought for a moment.
That seemed about right. Bay Residence held too many memories of her and Everett.
Each and every one now felt like they were fresh in her mind, though things had changed.
"Karen, I told him to move on and stop wasting his energy on me."
"But just because you told him doesn't mean he should actually give up!" Karen had always thoughtthe two of them were just going through a rough patch. She figured, sure, the grudges between the
older generations weren't easy to settle, but since they both held a place in each other's hearts,there would come a day when all would be resolved, and they would inevitably reunite.
But now... Everett's actions made it clear he had truly let go.
What's more, it had been months since he had returned to Eldorria City, and he hadn't asked Jeffreyfor any information about Dorothy!
All the signs were hard to ignore.
"Why can't he let go for real? He's Everett."
The value of his time was beyond words! He shouldn't have been waiting for her all this time.
"Dorothy, didn't you say before that if the lawsuit went well, you'd go after him?"
"I did say that, but not to make him be with me. It's to repay the effort and time he invested in me, toexperience the bitterness of longing for someone," Dorothy pressed her lips together, "I can't justchase him and expect him to agree."
Besides, the closer the court date got, the more she felt the chances of pursuing him post-lawsuitwere slim.
As the trial approached, she had nightmares repeatedly, dreaming of losing the case, of seeingAmanda's face twisted in a smug, taunting smile.
