NovelEnglishDorothy playfully fed Everett a strawberry, her eyes gleaming with amusement. “Sweet?”
“Mm-hmm.” Everett, seizing the moment, gently held her hand. “You know, since you're so fond of strawberries, how about we
start a themed resort project in Eldorria City? A strawberry-themed one?”
Dorothy's eyes lit up at the idea. “That sounds amazing!”
But then, she hesitated, frowning slightly. “But, Eldorria City is prreal estate... Starting a resort there might not be the most
profitable venture. | doubt it would pass a financial assessment.”
Everett chuckled and lightly tapped her forehead. “You little money-minder, ever since bing a boss, you've really changed—
always talking about profits and assessments.”
“Well, of course! It's not just about me. | have to consider the welfare of our employees too.”
Truth be told, with Everett's backing, Dorothy wasn’t as financially driven as before. More than anything, she wanted to prove

“So, Ms. Sanchez, are you planning to conduct due diligence?”
“If it's under the Lopez Corporation, | could simplify the process.”
Everett smiled slyly. “How about inviting Trust-E’s Ms. Sanchez to oversee it personally?”
Dorothy pretended to ponder. “Not a bad idea! Seriously, are you considering it?”
“When have | ever joked?” Everett replied earnestly. If she liked the idea, he was all in. “If we do it right, we can even make it our
haway from hfor our three kids.”
Turning a resort into a family hwas quintessentially an Everett idea!
“Shouldn't the Lopez Corporation initiate the project formally first?”
“No need. I'll finance it myself.” He preferred not to involvepany funds.
Dorothy raised an eyebrow, slightly concerned. “Your own money? But you could easily buy several Trust-Es with your wealth.”
“That's the point—to make you feel involved.”
“l only have one condition—I get to nthe resort.”
Dorothy smirked. “What will you nit?”
“That's a secret.”
She couldn't help but laugh. “Deal.” Still in her wedding dress, she extended her hand in agreement.
Everett, ever the doting husband, clasped her hand. “Deal.”

“Isn't it obvious?” Karen glanced at him, seizing the opportunity to tease. “| bet Langston will grow up to be just like Everett—
capable, handsome, and utterly devoted. Don’t you think?”
“Yeah, you're right.”
“Any girl lucky enough to marry Langston is guaranteed a lifetof happiness. | wonder whose lucky daughter that will be...”
Just as Jeffrey began to respond, he paused, a realization dawning on him. He raised an eyebrow. “What are you implying?”
“Nothing at all!”
“My daughter's not marrying anyone! Especially not Langston!”
Karen scoffed, “Even if you wanted to, who's to say he'd be interested? Don’t worry about things that won't happen.”
“If Langston becmy son-in-law, I'd be laughing in my dreams.”
She, as a mother, wouldn't have a single worry in the world—not even the mother-in-law relationship.
