NovelEnglishJonathan, clad in black, emerged from the building, a shadow of the once towering figure in the business world.
Now, even his walk hinted at a slight stoop, a bowing under invisible weights. It wasn't hard to see why. The
recent blows life had dealt him - the loss of his wife
not long ago, and now, his only son's fate hanging in the balance - were enough to bend even the sturdiest of
oaks.
As he stepped out, his gaze immediately fell on Dorothy and Kevin waiting nearby. His face darkened, his jaw set
as he marched towards them, barely containing his wrath.
Dorothy felt a surge of anxiety, her mind racing through all possible scoldings she might receive. Kevin wasn't
faring much better. After all, he was there primarily to ensure Dorothy's safety.
Jonathan wasted no tupon reaching them. He headed straight for Dorothy, fury in his eyes.
"Your mom always said you were trouble, and damn if she wasn't right!" he spat out, his hand raised in a
threatening gesture.
Kevin moved to intervene but a look from Dorothy stopped him. The next moment, a sharp slap echoed, sending
Dorothy staggering, nearly falling to the ground.

out their phones to capture the scene.
"I'm sorry..." Dorothy murmured, her role far from over. The stinging pain on her face made her lips quiver.

Lopez!"
"Without Dorothy, how could Quincy have even thought to harm Everett?" Jonathan's anger was squarely aimed
at her now.
Yet, she remained silent, head bowed, absorbing the blame.
Soon, the media caught wind of the confrontation.
"Mr. Lopez... he wouldn't have wanted you to treat Ms. Sanchez this way," Kevin attempted to reason, a
desperate attempt to appeal to Jonathan's better nature.
But Jonathan was beyond reason,
his grief clouding all judgment. "This debt won't be easily settled! You claimed to love Everett, ready to die for
him, right? Well, now he's gone. Why aren't you following him in death? Dorothy, that would at least show you
meant your words!"
Jonathan's glare was unyielding, his words like daggers.
