"I'm talking to you." "Yes, | never shared it with anyone else. Only Mr. Percy and |, as the project leader, have access to the core technical blueprint.” "Got it." Everett frowned and coldly dropped the subject before going into the bedroom with his phone.

While watching his retreating figure, Dorothy twitched the corners of her lips.

It was impossible to expect Everett to play the hero. She had to fend for herself.

She returned to her computer, tirelessly searching for ways to retrieve deleted text messages. But every method she tried was a scam.

Dorothy called the service provider, only to be told that retrieval was impossible.

Was her future and all her previous hard work going to be ruined by Heather just like that?! Suddenly, the phone beside her lit up.

Kenneth sent her a message.

But Dorothy wasn’t in the mood to check it. She simply got up to pack her bags, ready to rush back to the office to confront Heather.

This matter was related to her reputation and future; she couldn't just let it go.

When Everett came out, he saw Dorothy packing.

"Heather asked you for the blueprint, right? Do you have proof?" "No.

Upon hearing this, Everett frowned and stepped forward, grabbing her wrist. "Leave this matter to me." "No need; | can handle it myself!" Dorothy pulled her hand away. "If | didn't do it; there must be a way to prove it!" "Dorothy, as | said, let me handle this." She stopped and looked at him. "And then what? Just wait for the company to fire me and carry this stain for the rest of my life?" "If you didn't do it, no one can frame you." "That's true. But the reality is that Heather deliberately asked me for the blueprint, then wiped the evidence to frame me. If the truth comes out, the Lopez Corporation would lose her as their chief lawyer." Dorothy met his deep gaze. "Could you bear that?" Could he bear the loss of Heather's contribution to the company, ruining Heather's future, and losing his beloved? This seemed like a corporate struggle, but in reality, Heather did this to bring Everett to a crossroads, betting that he couldn't bear to let her go.

A chief lawyer versus a junior assistant? It was a no-brainer.

As the seconds ticked by, Everett remained silent.

Dorothy didn't expect an answer; she knew clearing her name was up to her.

Once she finished packing, she picked up her luggage and prepared to leave.

Everett stepped forward and blocked the door. His voice was slightly hoarse as he spoke. "Give me some time. This is...

complicated.” Amanda was currently in the country with Heather by her side. If she found out about the incident, she would definitely demand that he side unconditionally with Heather, even asking him to outright fire Dorothy.

Considering her previous suicide attempt simply because he refused the arranged marriage, he couldn't predict the consequences if he defied her wishes now.

So, if he wanted to help Dorothy, he couldn't intervene directly.

"Mr. Lopez, | understand your predicament and appreciate your willingness to talk to me and give me the chance to defend myself. But | also know that the evidence is up to me to find. | just hope that when the truth comes out, you can be fair." "Can you trust me once?" Trust him to handle the matter? But clearly, the answer was written all over Dorothy's face.
