NovelOnline"Kenneth's Karen's cousin. He looks out for me quite a bit." "Cut ties with that Everett immediately!" Bella thought of the woman who came looking for her just now. She was pissed off beyond measure.
The smug look on the woman's face made it seem like she could stomp Bella into the ground.
There was no way in hell she'd agree to her daughter marrying into that family.

Bella looked at her, and with a tone of helplessness and displeasure, she said, "I care about you." Dorothy lowered her head, not wanting to bring up Everett in front of her mom because there were some things she hadn't figured out yet.
Of course, Bella noticed her evasion.
"Dorothy, you're not falling for this Everett, are you?" Dorothy was taken aback. "I'm not!" "Really?" Bella's eyes kept scanning her daughter's face, as if she were trying to see right through her.
"Mom, he and | are from different worlds; you know it now. The Lopez family's threshold is not something | can cross. I'm fully aware of that, so | won't have any inappropriate thoughts about him." She said this not only for her mother but also for herself.
Anyone looking at the gap between her and Everett wouldn't think they had a future. They were worlds apart.
"That's for the best." For once, Bella didn't aggressively force her daughter to make a promise. She just nodded in agreement.
After returning to her hospital room, Amanda immediately called Heather.
"Sweetheart, don't worry, | went to see that Dorothy's mother. Judging by her manner, she probably doesn't even know what her own daughter is up to. | warned her not to fantasize about her daughter becoming a phoenix by marrying into a wealthy family.

"Amanda, since you rushed over like that, Dorothy will definitely tell Everett. Your relationship with him might be affected; that's not what | want to see. | should've kept this to myself." Her response was quite clever. No matter what happened next, Amanda wouldn't feel used by Heather but would see her as very considerate since she seemed to care about her relationship with her son.
"How would | have found a way to ward off Dorothy if you didn't tell me? Heather, tell me the truth. Do you like my son? Do you want to be my daughter-in-law?" "I naturally want to." Heather's voice suddenly dropped. There was a sense of helplessness in her tone. "For all these years, I've seen you and Jonathan as my own parents, and | want to be part of the Lopez family, but | don't want Everett to give up the one he loves." "You're still considering him at this point? My foolish son is really blinded by that Dorothy..." Amanda was cut off by the sound of the door opening.
After looking up, she saw that it was Everett.
Amanda instinctively wanted to hang up the phone, but her son strode over and snatched the phone from her hand.
Before she could react, Everett had already seen the number on the screen. He put the phone aside and spoke in a deep voice, "I will never marry Heather. The one | want has always been Dorothy."
