Female Novel
Chapter 941
The moment Kenneth caught sight of Dorothy walking in, it was as though a spark had ignited withinhis eyes.
But before he could even muster a greeting, his gaze fell upon Everett, who trailed closely behindher.
So, they've reconciled, he thought.
She was, after all, meant to be with that man.novelbin
"Hey everyone." Dorothy greeted everyone present with a smile, then made her way back to standbeside Everett.
Ever so obediently.
Everett casually draped his arm over her shoulder, a silent declaration of his claim on her.
This halted Kenneth in his tracks. He retracted the step he had begun towards Dorothy, and heresigned himself to stand still.
Jeffrey, noticing Everett, excused himself from his in-laws and approached.
"Dorothy, Everett and I need to have a word." He said.
"Go ahead! I'll just be here," Dorothy responded with a smile, thinking they were about to discusssome work-related matters and not dare to intrude.
Everett pursed his lips and whispered to her, "Stay right here and don't go anywhere. I'll be rightback."
"Okay."
Once Jeffrey had led Everett to a secluded stairwell in the hospital corridor, he inquired, "What'sgoing on with Dorothy?"
"It's Quincy," Everett revealed, seeing no need to hide the truth from Jeffrey.
Jeffrey froze, a look of disbelief spreading across his face as he asked, "Are you sure it's her?"
"She confessed," Everett replied. There was no one else but Quincy who could target Dorothy, andalso target her with such capability.
"Damn! That wench! So, what's your plan? If it's tricky for you to make a move, I can step in foryou," Jeffrey disdained the backstabbers evidently.
That woman knew targeting Everett directly was futile, so she went after Dorothy instead.
Such cowardice!
"The antidote is with her, so we can't act rashly," Everett stated. If not for the need for the antidote,he wouldn't have considered involving Jeffrey. He intended to make Quincy and her family paydearly!
But now was not the time.
While Everett remained composed, Jeffrey couldn't hide his frustration, "Everett, sometimes I reallyfeel for you! You, with all your power and freedom, yet so constrained by all these troubles! Yourparents are one thing, and now there's Dorothy! And why couldn't she be more cautious and morevigilant? Where's that aloofness when she needed it?"
How could she let her guard down so easily? And now that posed another threat to Everett!
Hearing Jeffrey's dissatisfaction with Dorothy, Everett's brows furrowed, his voice carrying awarning, "Don't talk about her like that."
"I'm just pissed! These people always target Dorothy because they know she's your weakness! Asyour buddy, it infuriates me!"
"If someone targeted Karen, you'd do the same."
Jeffrey paused. He was at a loss for words. He understood, but it didn't ease his concern.
He just felt Everett was cornered!
He had spent his best years chasing Dorothy, and now that they were finally together, his parentswere causing chaos. And with the lawsuit involving his parents not yet resolved, Quincy pops up.
Without Dorothy, Everett wouldn't be in this situation. Without Dorothy, no one could stand againsthim.
"If Quincy can concoct an antidote, I'll have someone work on finding a solution too. There's alwaysa way out." Everett said.
"But you're at Quincy's mercy until then, right?"
Everett's response was firm, "I can't let anything happen to Dorothy."
