NovelEnglishChapter 385
The moment Dorothy was mentioned, Everett seemed to put himself on mute.
Jeffrey rolled his eyes. “You don’t believe me, do you? I took photos just in case you wouldn’t believe
me! I’ll send them to you right now!”
“No need “Everett finally said, “They are together and it’s normal for them to do so. Is there anything
else?”
Everett’s sudden calmness and his placid way of speaking slightly surprised Jeffrey!
He mistook that Everett would rush to confront hert
But that wasnt a scene he wanted to witness.
“No, nothing else”
“There’s a morning meeting soon, and don’t be late. With that. Everett hung up.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJeffrey clicked his tongue, tossing his phone aside.
Driving to the office, he walked in to see Heather discussing something with their team.
Jeffrey intended to act as if he hadn’t seen her but Heather had other plans
“Wait up“”
Failing his escape attempt, Jeffrey had no choice but to stop. “What is it?”
“Of course there’s something! I’m asking about that child. Heather mentioned this first, surprising
Jeffrey a bit.
He crossed his arms, looking at her, “I haven’t found him yet. Do you have any news?”
Heather furrowed her brow sightly. “Where would I get any news? I just show some of my concerns.
Everett’s parents are very womed about this, so we can’t just give up because of difficulties for the time
being”
“You told his parents, didn’t you?” Jeffrey wasn’t a fool. Only Heather would be the one to tell them.
“Yes.” Heather didn’t deny it, ‘Since the child belongs to Everett, he should be taken back by the Lopez
family sooner or later, so I had to prepar his parents mentaly! Look, Amanda isn’t getting better, and
she can’t handle any more stress!”
“They havent even had a DNA test yet. No one can say if he’s Everetts, so why do you tell them in
haste?”.
Heather just smiled. She had to be proactive about it.
The less she cared and evaded, the less people would suspect her!
She hadn’t thought things through when she framed Dorothy before, resulting in a strained relationship
with Everett, She couldn’t afford to make any mistakes this time.
“I’ve seen the surveillance, and there’s no doubt that he’s Everett’s.”
“Wait.” Jeffrey suddenly interrupted, “How come you seem so willing to accept this child’s existence
overight? Weren’t you making a fuss before?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHeather paused, then sighed deeply.
“I was unable to accept it at first, which is understandable. After thinking it over since it’s already
happened and the child is here. I have no choice but to accept it! We cant just make the child
disappear.”
Jeffrey listened to her explanation, which made sense but sounded weird.
“Alright, you don’t need to overthink it. If you find out anything about the child, just let me know! it’s not
me asking, it’s Everett’s parents”
With that, Heather waved her hand and left
Jeffrey stood there and watched her leave, tugging at the comer of his mouth.
Something’s not right
He was about to head to his office when his phone suddenly rang
Looking down, he found an unfamiliar number,
A virtual number.
He answered it. A young and childish voice was heard on the other end
“Hello, this is Langston.”
“Langston?! Where are you now?”
