Everett chuckled, "Looks like Karen's pretty strict to you." "Dude, I'm all for the rules at home. Unlike you, who's practically begging for someone to take charge and coming up empty." "Jeffrey." "Whatever, I've said my piece. It's your call now." He'd lost enough sleep over their, and now with Karen's status, Jeffrey had to tread lightly. He never wanted to ruffle Kenneth's feathers too much.

When Amanda got the call from the court, she was so enraged she passed out and woke up in the hospital. As soon as she cto, she started ranting.
"Get Everett back here! What kind of son did I raise? How dare he throw his own mother in jail!?" Jonathan sat beside her; he was fuming as well. He was both mad at their son and his wife! "Back then I told you not to get involved, but you wouldn't listen. And you even keptin the dark about the details! Now look where we are. No one can fix this mess!" Amanda glared at her husband. Even now, she didn't think she'd done anything wrong.
"Back then? You were the one who said Dorothy wasn't good enough for the Lopez family, that you didn't approve of her with our son! So why are you turning this around onnow that there's trouble?" "I may not like Dorothy, but I never told you to harm her! Everett's always been stubborn. If you'd reasoned with him and shown him semotion, maybe he'd have given her up. But you had to go and push too hard! Now our son is at odds with us. I've tried carrot and stick and Everett hasn't even budged." Jonathan had even thought about just agreeing to let Dorothy marry into the family, but even that hadn't swayed Everett.
Amanda quickly frowned and huffed. Knowing her husband's mindset and approach to things, she just said it upright, "Letmake this clear. Don't you dare use approving Dorothy as a bargaining chip! I can't stand her, and I'd rather go down fighting than nod her into my family as a daughter-in-law." "The thing is he won't agree either!" "Who? Dorothy won't agree?" Amanda's eyebrows shot up, her laugh laced with scorn, "She simply doesn't have the face to join the Lopez family! Look at her background, she's not even fit to be a maid in our household! You don't need to worry about it, let her sue. She can't just decide on a murder charge as she pleases! If push comes to shove, I handled her mother, and I can handle her too!" Jonathan quickly intervened as he heard that.

"Please, no more trouble, okay? Our son handed over your incriminating evidence to Dorothy. She's got a solid case. We need to keep our heads down for now!" If it weren't for his son's protection, Jonathan would have thought of silencing the issue by taking Dorothy's life.
The problem was Everett protecting Dorothy at every turn, and Jonathan feared that pushing his son too far would tear their relationship beyond repair.
"And about that evidence, it's your fault! Why on earth did you hand Heather over to our son? I told you a m thousand times to stay out of to Heather's business. Why didn't you listen?" Without Heather's testimony, none of it could be proven! "Who could've known? You only toldit was about giving Heather sbacking, that you weren't involved in the actual deed!" X
