From the start, countless folks urged Dorothy to turn a blind eye, but she just couldn't bring herself to do it. Quincy felt that the way Dorothy was now being treated was all par for the course. But still... He couldn't shake off the thought that maybe Everett was intentionally giving Dorothy the cold shoulder. Dorothy, unaware of the reasons behind it all, felt a sting in her heart at Quincy's words. But was it so wrong for her to seek justice for her mother, to whom she owed her life? Was it not the duty of a child to uncover the truth behind their mother's tragic death?

"Ms. Sanchez, Mr. Lopez could understand and stand by you before because he hadn't felt the loss of a mother firsthand! Now that he has, it's natural for his attitude to change. What do you expect me to do about it?"

"Then don't you dare try to take my place."

"Why would I want to take your place?" Quincy retorted. "I will never be anyone's replacement."

All this trouble she was stirring up wasn't about becoming another person's stand-in for Everett. Dorothy was at a loss for words and hung up. She put her phone aside, slumped against the couch, her mind a tangled mess, not knowing where to start. Was it really a mistake to seek justice for Bella? Was Everett's sudden change truly because he couldn't accept his mother's passing? Countless questions flooded her mind, almost driving her to the brink of despair.

"No, I can't just take Quincy's word for it." Dorothy suddenly sat upright. "I have to trust Everett, I have to believe in him... Yes, that's right..." He wouldn't just abandon her; he was just overwhelmed with grief.
