Chapter 283
“Yeah, she has a daughter. She’s a real cutey Lane turned to Jeffrey. “You didn’t know?
No sooner had the words left his mouth than Jeffrey shot up from his chair. The sudden movement knocked over his cup,
causing it to shatter on the floor
“She has a child?! She actually has a child?! Are you sure?!” Jeffrey felt his mind go blank. It was as if he had just been struck by
lightning, once and then again.
Could it could it be what he was thinking?
Im sure she does. Now will you spill it? Lane was truly left hanging by Jeffrey’s reaction.
He initially thought that if he introduced Dorothy to Jeffrey, he could possibly offer some advice. But instead, Jeffrey had caused
quite a stir, and he was still in the dark about what was going on.
“How old is her daughter, do you know?”
“I think two years old”
Jeffrey’s mouth twitched involuntarily.
Two years old...
Then it definitely wasn’t Everett’s
They had been separated for four years and hadn’t seen each other since. Jeffrey knew this because Everett had exhausted
every possible channel to hear news about Dorothy but had come up empty handed
Jeffrey’s energy, which had been so frenzied a moment ago, suddenly drained away as if he were a balloon that had been
pricked.

“Is there something wrong with her being two years old? Spit it out! Are you trying to kill me with suspense
Jeffrey waved his hand dismissively and took a deep breath. “You know Everett, night?”
“Of course! Who wouldn’t know the CEO of Lopez Corporation? Don’t tell me
“You guessed it.” Jeffrey nodded while looking at Lane. “Dorothy is Everett’s ex–girlfriend, no, ex–wife.”
Even though he hated to acknowledge it, Everett and Dorothy had indeed been mamed,
Lane’s eyebrows furrowed. “So why did they get a divorce? Did Mr. Lopez cheat?”
“No, Dorothy fell out of love! Jeffrey couldn’t help but defend his best friend. “Everett gave up everything for her, even his own
parents! But Dorothy just said she felt too much pressure being with him and left.”
Lane didn’t respond to that. In his eyes, Dorothy didnt seem like the kind of person who would do such a thing
She was so dedicated to her work and was not the type to back down when faced with challenges. She should be the same in
relationships
As for the pressure, she was a staff member with no background who had struggled her way up to her current position based on
her capabilities. The pressure must have been immense. What other pressure could be greater than that at work?
Unless it came from other “pressures.”
“Mr. Lopez’s parents didn’t approve of them, did they?”
“Exactly” Jeffrey nodded “Dorothy didn’t have a good background, she basically had nothing. The Lopez family would never
agree. They probably thought she was a gold digger”
Lane guessed as much
This was a common occurrence in high society.
Every couple who wanted to break the class barrier and be together would face this problem. Especially for a family as wealthy
as the Lopez’s, I was not surprising that they looked down on Dorothy
“Dorothy is not the kind of person to sacrifice love for money.”
“I know that too” Jeffrey understood the different viewpoints and positions in this matter, but he and felt that Dorothy had been
too ruthless.
“So, why were you so surprised when you heard Dorothy has a daughter? Lane finally realized the significance of this
“They were married before, so I thought Dorothy’s daughter.”
“Dorothy’s daughter is Everett’s?”
