Female Novel
Chapter 953
Everett was the only heir to the Lopez legacy, and he was known for being soft-spoken, neveruttering a harsh word. How then, for Dorothy's sake, had things between father and son soured tothis extent?
"You claim not to hurt me, but hurting Dorothy is out of the question too."
"That's even more ludicrous! Do you think I couldn't have dealt with Dorothy if I wanted to? Do Ineed Quincy to lay a finger on her?" Jonathan's voice rose. "Everett, think about it. If I wanted totarget Dorothy, I've had plenty of chances. I didn't do anything to her because I didn't want toescalate things with you!"
"It's always been you pushing Quincy into the Lopez family."
"Don't I have the right to choose a daughter-in-law for myself? Sure, the Lopez Corporation hasflourished with you on board, but who laid its foundations? Who introduced you to all your contactsand networks? Me! I don't think Dorothy is a good match for the Lopez family. It is my right tochoose a suitable partner for the family!"
Isn't this how it works in high society? Everyone is looking for a match that benefits both families!
He was just planning for his son's future. What was wrong with that?
"Business matters can be negotiated, but marrying Dorothy is non-negotiable." Everett had decidedthis when he first fell in love. And once decided, there was no turning back.
"I want Quincy to marry you, that’s all because it would make Dorothy drop the lawsuit and spareyour mother! Everett, you're smart enough to see that!"
"I don't want to hear those. Now that Quincy has targeted Dorothy; this is all on you."
If he hadn't insisted on Quincy joining the Lopez family, she wouldn't have been involved in the firstplace!
Not to mention her now taking action against Dorothy.
"What did Quincy do to Dorothy?" Jonathan was genuinely in the dark! He was still waiting for somegood news from Quincy's end, but instead of a promised update in three days, there was radiosilence.
"You really don't know?"
Now Everett doubted everyone!
"Of course, I don’t! But go on, think what you will."
"She poisoned Dorothy, trying to use that as leverage against me."
Jonathan was taken aback, his heart sinking, "You mean, Quincy wants to use Dorothy as a meanto control you in the future?"
"Why else would she have any reason to poison Dorothy?"
Jonathan immediately said, "This can’t stand! We can't let this girl chokehold the Lopez family! Whatpoison did she use? Isn't there any other way to cure it?"
He knew how significant Dorothy was in his son's heart. If Quincy controlled Dorothy, it indirectlymeant controlling Everett!
What would happen next? The Lopez family would be dancing to Quincy's tune!
"I've had Jeffrey contact doctors for tests and antidotes, but there's no better solution right now."
"Where's Quincy? I'll confront her!"
Everett scoffed, "She won't give you the antidote."
Jonathan fell silent.
"Sometimes, I really don't understand what you and mom are playing at. You brought a perfectlygood family to this state; are you satisfied now?"novelbin
Jonathan was about to respond when the call was abruptly ended. Staring at the dark screen of hisphone, he finally slammed his fist onto the table in frustration.
"Who would enjoy seeing their family torn apart!"
After a moment of calm, Jonathan grabbed his blazer. No, even if he didn't care for Dorothypersonally, he couldn't let the entire Lopez family fall prey to Quincy's scheming.
