"Yeah," Dorothy nodded, her voice steady. "The preliminary hearing is coming up." Karen's hand froze mid-flip. "Has Everett's mom been detained?" "No, but the trial can proceed without her. The court has already issued the summons." Karen's mouth hung open for a moment, struggling to find the words. "You've really come to this... Everett's mom is just vile! Without her, you and Everett could have been such a happy couple.” Everett wasn't like Jeffrey, all rash and impulsive. He was career-driven, responsible, and always thorough. He would have taken care of Dorothy well.

If Bella had followed Maxton Sanchez's wishes back then, she wouldn't even exist, let alone all that followed! Without her, maybe Bella would have remarried, found happiness sooner, and escaped the shadow of that scumbag, not ending up dying alone from an overdose.

Her life was owed to her mother; it was she who had burdened Bella.

So whether it was seeing justice served through legal means or taking matters into her own hands, that was Dorothy's priority.
