Chapter 325
The call was picked up after a few moments.
“Hey? You awake?”
“Yeah. It was you who picked me up from the restaurant last night, right? Thanks a lot.” Dorothy didn’t directly question who had
changed her clothes. She was just grateful that someone had taken care of her
‘No problem”
“Was it just you who came to get me last night? Dorothy ventured. I mean, I was pretty smashed. You sure you handled that all
by yourself?”
She was still trying to justify why she was asking this
The driver cut night to the chase. “It was my girlfriend who changed your clothes”
“Oh! That’s..uh, I mea
“It’s fine, you don’t need to thank me. You’ve helped me a lot too
After a wild night, Everett was filled with regret. Not because of anything else, but she was a married woman now, and he’d

Morally, he couldn’t bear this kind of self–condemnation
So, he made sure Dorothy was settled in and then left the hotel.
Having found her answer, Dorothy said a few more words and then ended the call. There were still other people she had to reply
to, lest they continue worrying about her.
As she considered getting up and taking a shower, she dialed Natalias number, but there was no answer.
After hanging up, Dorothy headed to the bathroom, only then noticing a dull ache in her lower abdomen
And a certain discomfort in a secret place.

She closed her eyes, hoping this would help allevate the discomfort.
Suddenly!
A fragment of last night’s events and a sound flashed in her mind.
“Dorothy, sober up!”
She snapped her eyes open
That was Everett’s voice.

But after a moment of shock, she dismissed it as a hallucination. Her mind must have been playing tricks on her again,
Recently, she didn’t know what was up with her. Was it because she was about to leave home and couldn’t bear to let go? Was
this why she kept thinking about Everet1
Lane stormed into Verity Holdings Limited, scaring the life out of Hayden. He really hadn’t expected that Dorothy would mean so
much to Lane.
‘Hayden, I sent my people here to discuss business, not to get drunk!”
“Yes, yes, it’s all my fault.” Sensing Lane’s great anger, Hayden quickly apologized. “I was just so excited that I was thinking. And
Ma, Sanchez was so accommodating, she kept drinking what I poured, so I thought she could hold her liquor, who knew she..”
Lone shot him a glare. “So you’re saying it’s my people who can’t handle their booze?”
“No, no, not at all Hayden waved his hands, trying to look sincere. understand how you feel, and I’m worried too! When she
didn’t come back yesterday, I thought she had gone to rest. Thad quite a few drinks mysell, or else this wouldn’t have happened.
In the end, this is my responsibility, and since it happened on my turf, I must be accountable.”
With that, he called a few security guards over. “Gd
