At that moment, it all clicked for Dorothy.

She was being played.

Heather was trying to bump her out of the Lopez Corporation. Hell, she was trying to bump her out of the entire investment banking industry! She raised an eyebrow. "I've told you before. I'm not here to pick a fight." Dorothy knew her place. But clearly, Heather had no intentions of backing off.

"I have no idea what you're talking about.” Heather's voice was still pleasing. She even sounded kind of patient, the way an adult would speak to a child. "If there's nothing else, | have work to do." "You know damn well what I'm talking about! You're targeting me because of Everett Lopez, aren't you? You're trying to frame me!" Dorothy had no interest in playing along. She decided to lay her cards on the table.

"Because of Mr. Lopez? Ms. Sanchez, | suggest you think before you speak." With that, she hung up.

Dorothy tried to call back, but she hesitated and didn't press the call button.

Heather was basically declaring war on her.

Looking back, she had been scheming since their business trip to Havenbrook. There was no way Dorothy would get any useful information now.

She had never been in a situation like this before. One wrong move could ruin her entire career. Forget about being credited for the new research project.

The Lopez Corporation would surely fire her to save dignity. With such a stain on her record, no other company would hire her.

Her phone rang again. It was Karen.

"Dorothy, what's the deal with the SinoSuccess Enterprises project? Mr. Percy is throwing a fit; he even smashed the office glass! Isn't this your responsibility? Are you in trouble?" Dorothy's hands were shaking, and her voice went hollow. "I've been set up." "By who?" "Heather. She asked for the core technical blueprint and used tech to erase our text conversation. | can't find any record of it." Karen's voice shot up. "Heather?! Do you have beef with her or something? Are you sure? Heather's loyalty to the Lopez Corporation is well known. She wouldn't do something that could damage the company's reputation.” Even Karen didn't believe Heather would do such a thing.

Dorothy felt a pounding headache coming on and didn't bother explaining much to Karen. She just hung up.

As she looked at her phone, she couldn't think of anyone who could help her at this point.

Everett was definitely out of the question.

Even if this didn't affect the Lopez Corporation, the mere fact that Heather was involved meant she knew whose side he would be on.

If she told him that Heather leaked the core technical blueprint just to frame her, he would never believe it.

What about Kevin? She couldn't just sit around and wait for the end.

Dorothy decided to call Kevin. After finding out that he was in a meeting with Everett at the branch office, she quickly cleaned up and hailed a cab to wait for him there.

In the meantime, Mr. Percy nearly blew up her phone with calls. But none of which Dorothy answered.

She thought she'd ask Kevin for advice first.

Dorothy felt pathetic.

Here she was, having to rely on Kevin, a recent acquaintance with whom she had little rapport.

When she arrived, the meeting ended shortly after.

Kevin invited her upstairs.

Dorothy took the elevator to the branch office meeting room, knocked on the door, and the first thing she did when she entered was to see if Everett was there.

Thankfully, it was just Kevin.

She quickly briefed him on the situation, and his face grew more serious as she spoke.

"| always thought you were cautious. How could you do something like this?"
