Chapter 278

Before Lane could utter a word, Dorothy flatly rejected him.

“Jeffrey, there’s nothing I want to diapusa with you.”

“You’d prefer they hear about your past?”

Dorothy’s posture noticeably stiffened. Was Jeffery threatening her?

He guessed that Corothy hadn’t shared her history with Everett with anyone else. He didn’t know why,

but he was sure she had her reasons and that they were enough to make her Isten to him

“What are you two taking about?” Lane asked as his eyes darted between Dernthy and Jeffrey.

Jeffrey smiled and said, “You might not know this, but Ms Sanchez used to be involved with..”

“Enough!” Dorothy cut him off sharply and tumed her gaze to Jeffrey. “We can talk, but lets go over

there.”

Jeffrey gave an CK gesture with his hand. “Lane, you go ahead. Don’t worry, Ill make sure she comes

for dinner

Lane had no idea what was going on,

He looked at Dorothy. Since she did not protest, he could only nod. “Okay, 111 wait for you..

As he turned and disappeared into the restaurant, Dorothy spoke in a cold voice, “Mr. Turner, recall we

have no quarrel. The Lopez family and Heather wanted me to stay away from Everett, and I did Why

are you here threatening me?”

Jeffrey pulled out a pack of cigarettes and it cre. ‘I’m just wondering how you got involved with Lane

The word ‘nvolved had a certain implication

It was hard not to think of something negative

Dorothy clenched her fists as her nails dug into her flesh. “My relationship with him is purely

professional. If you think there’s a problem, he can fire me. If you’re here just to humiliate me, Mr.

Turner, then please get to the point. I have work to do.”

Jeffrey took a drag from his cigarette and grinned. “Why would I humnate you? I’m just cuncus. You

had Everett wrapped around your finger and now Lane seems quite taken with you. And yet you marry

some nobody. Is this some kind of game? Dorothy, what’s your real agenda?”

He could only assume that Dorothy was back for revenge.

Even though she obediently left Everett behind and didn’t pursue the truth behind her mother’s death,

Jeffrey had a hunch that Dorothy wasn’t so easy to get rid of. She didnt want money or power, so what

was her meal motive? Would she want to come back and redaim everything one day?

“So, what are you afraid of? Why are you standing here and questioning me? Instead of answering.

Dorothy threw the question back at him.

Exactly! What was he afraid of? And what were the Lopez family and Heather afraid of?

If they hadn’t done anything wrong, if they were truly innocent, why be afraid of her return?

Jeffrey was speechless. He hadn’t expected Dorothy, after so many years, to have honed her wit and

become deadly sharp.

“I know you’re a good friend of Everett’s, and you want him to be with Heather. But all of that has

nothing to do with me now. As for your question, all I can tell you is that my goal is not to get back with

Everett,”

Jeffrey’s digarette ash fell to the ground, narrowly missing his hand.

He squinted at the woman standing before him. “Did you know he’s getting marned?”

“I know”

“And you don’t care?”

Idon’t.”
