Lane stepped out of Dorothy’s room but didn’t truly leave Havenbrock City. Instead, he booked himselfanother room in the same hotel
Thoughts about Verity Holdings Limited plagued him. His unease grew the more he mulled over it. Aftermuch contemplation, he dialed Jeffrey’s number. Jeffrey didn’t pick up the first time he called. It wassome time later when Jeffrey called hack,
“You called?”
“Yeah, have you heard about Verity Holdings Limited going under?
Jeffrey was momentarily stunned “Wait, the Verity Holdings Limited in Haverbrook City
“Exactly! They went bust overnight!
“Weren’t they a rather big deal? I briefly looked into them before Their projects seemed to be doingwell, so how did they suddenly colapse?
That was exactly Lane’s query. “So, who do you think could have the power to topple such a largecorporation–evemight?”

Jeffrey wasn’t fool. He instantly caught Lane’s drill
Did Verity Holdings Limited cross paths with Dorothy?”
Indeed, their bess Hayden, spiked Dorothy’s drink. He landed to take advantage of her.”
Jeffrey understood instantly “Of all the people he could have messed with, he had to go after DorothyLintally thought that the downfal of Verity Holdings Limited could be due to their own internal issues thathad suddenly erupted, but if Derathy is involved, everything makes sense”
Jeffrey knew all too well that Dorothy was Everetts Achilles heel. Who could tolerate ther most precioustreasure being tampered with?
“But how did he replace out about Dorothy? Lane frowned. A sense of foreboding doom began to washover him.
Given the orcustances, it was clear that Everett hadn’t given up on Dorothy pet.
His opponent seemed to be nane uth an the towering Everest himself.
“I’m not quite certain Everett is constantly occupied with work at the company, and he has assigned mecountless tasks, so i wouldn’t be aware if he had any dealings with Dorothy currently”
“Does Everett have someone around Dorothy?”
“I’m not sure” Jeffrey was genuinely clueless; he wasn’t just playing dumb. When Dorothy rested ondivorcing Everest, I ran into her at the hospital. She mentioned that the doctors had told her that shemight not be able to conceive, I suspected that was why she was so adamant about the divorce, butnow in looks Ike things arent that simple since she got pregnant and had already given birth. Are yousure that child is really Dorothy’s
Jeffrey distinctly remembered that Dorothy had made a special trip to the hospital due to this issue, andthe doctor had even suggested that she discuss it with her husband
Lane replied, The chid is herx”
And Everett’s 100
However, Lane was defintely not going to share the rest with him
“Then she must have found a cure later on Jeffrey was beng naive by not choosing to dele any deeperinto the matter. “Oh, Lane, there’s something else I need to tell you”
“Shoot”
“Everett is as in Havenbrook City. I think he’s there for Dorothy but he denies it.”
Lane shot up from his chair and asked, “He’s in Haverbrook Cty?”
“Yes! He has been frequenting Haverbrook City quite a bit ever since his divorce from Dorothy. I’vegotten used to it, but this time it doesn’t seem as simple. Lane, as a friend I must advise you not towaste your time on Dorothy She’s a mystery, and she’s kept Everett hooked for all these years, soplease don’t get yourself entangled too.”
Lane wanted to tell him that it was already too late. He was already entangled
