Everett was the only heir to the Lopez legacy, and he was known for being soft-spoken, never uttering a harsh word. How then, for Dorothy's sake, had things between father and son soured to this extent?
"You claim not to hurt me, but hurting Dorothy is out of the question too."
"That's even more ludicrous! Do you think I couldn't have dealt with Dorothy if I wanted to? Do I need Quincy to lay a finger on her?" Jonathan's voice rose. "Everett, think about it. If I wanted to target Dorothy, I've had plenty of chances. I didn't do anything to her because I didn't want to escalate things with you!"
"It's always been you pushing Quincy into the Lopez family."
"Don't I have the right to choose a daughter-in-law for myself? Sure, the Lopez Corporation has flourished with you on board, but who laid its foundations? Who introduced you to all your contacts and networks? Me! I don't think Dorothy is a good match for the Lopez family. It is my right to choose a suitable partner for the family!"
Isn't this how it works in high society? Everyone is looking for a match that benefits both families!
He was just planning for his son's future. What was wrong with that?
"Business matters can be negotiated, but marrying Dorothy is non-negotiable." Everett had decided this when he first fell in love. And once decided, there was no turning back.
"I want Quincy to marry you, that’s all because it would make Dorothy drop the lawsuit and spare your mother! Everett, you're smart enough to see that!"
"I don't want to hear those. Now that Quincy has targeted Dorothy; this is all on you."
If he hadn't insisted on Quincy joining the Lopez family, she wouldn't have been involved in the first place!
Not to mention her now taking action against Dorothy.
"What did Quincy do to Dorothy?" Jonathan was genuinely in the dark! He was still waiting for some good news from Quincy's end, but instead of a promised update in three days, there was radio silence.
"You really don't know?"
Now Everett doubted everyone!
