"Jeffrey, my mom was innocent, too." Jeffrey was rendered speechless.

Dorothy peered at him, her voice edged with resolve. "I owe Everett a lot, but I've got debts to repay to my mom first." Jeffrey's lips quivered, struggling to find his voice amid the tension.

"So you used Everett, got your mom's lawsuit up and running smoothly, and then, when he's no longer of use, you just kick him back into the abyss, leaving him to fend for himself, right?" "Interpret it how you want." Maybe it was the late hour or the stress of hashing out these issues, but Dorothy decided to just let it go.

No explanations, nothing to explain.

"Fucking hell, you really are—really something! Everett deserved better from you!" Jeffrey cursed, his anger boiling over at her attitude.

Dorothy felt too restless to remain in the car any longer, so she abruptly pushed open the rear door and stepped out without a second thought.

She quickened her pace, hoping to find a reprieve, but fate had other plans; no cabs were in sight. Before she had gone far, Jeffrey's car pulled up beside her, blocking her path.
