StarNovelQuincy let out a sigh.
He just knew it wouldn't be that easy to get what he wanted! "Look, Everett is stressing over this mess! If I can sort it out for him, he's going to valueeven more, you get me? Even in business, you've got to be willing to invest scash!" This office building, it's an investment, plain and simple! If it can snaga big fish like Everett, then it's a bargain, even if it were ten buildings, not just one! "Are you out of your mind? With all the dough Everett's sitting on, you think money troubles keep him up at night?" Ronin was having none of it! He could be vexed over a lady, or sillness, but money? Never! "Think it over!" Quincy lifted his hand, rubbing his temples, trying to keep his cool as he spoke, "Dad, Dorothy's after half of Everett's shares in the Lopez Corporation!" "What?! Is she insane?" Anyone would find that ridiculous! We're talking about the Lopez Corporation here.
And Dorothy and Everett have been divorced for ages, no more ties, what right does she have to his fortune? And to ask for so much! "I saw Dorothy today, and honestly, I thought her request was crazy too. But the state she was in, totally different from before! Guess Everett talking divorce must've hit her hard."

Quincy immediately shot down Ronin's suggestion, "Everett's already on guard because of that poisoning stunt I pulled on Dorothy! If I make a move on her now, I'd be his prsuspect! Then I can forget about marrying him." "Fine, keep your office building, but don't ccrying for help from the Lopez Corporation later! Think it over." Quincy hung up without giving Ronin a chance to rethink.
She knew he'd caround eventually.
How could they stop now, after coming this far? The Caldwell 's hands were already dielno g back now! After hanging up, Quincy actually felt relieved! There, Dorothy's fortune was settled, just like that.
She scrolled through her phone for Dorothy's number, and sent a message.
"List what you want, Dorothy! But don't push your luck. Part ways with Everett gracefully, and you'll get something out of it. Otherwise... you might not be around to regret it." en.swhovelsQuincy knew Dorothy hadn't taken the antidote.
Meaning, she could still be controlled! This was good news.
