Babel Novel
Chapter 49
Talk about a small world!
Dorothy had imagined she might run into someone from the Sanchez family before she came, but she didn’t expect to seem right off the bat.
No wonder that woman started stiming the pot again. So they were back from abroad.
This couldn’t be good.
“Do you think Edward wants to cut and run from the Social Networking Service because there’s something fishy with the company?” Kevin’s voice brought her back from her thoughts.
Dorothy nodded making sure to sit with her back to Maxton, Otherwise, even without the backing of the Lopez Corporation for going public, the revenue of the Social Networking Service isnt shabby, unless he has a better ca lined up. Leaving money on the table and pulling out his shares is a big decision”
Anyone who invested in a company from the get go definitely had high hopes for it.
Either they were really good friends, or they were family. Given this, as an original shareholder, he would have to think long and hand before making a move.
Also, share changes take time from declaration to realization, which meant Edward was dead set on leaving.

“Dornity. I’m starting to see you in a new light.” Kevin was a workaholic. The pizza just awed, and he started reading the information without ever bothering to eat
His compliment for her didn’t matter, but it did catch the attention of Marton behind her.
“Dorothy?”
“It really is you!”
Maxton walked over. He was about to say something when she stood up first
“Kevin, I have something to deal with. Ill be back in ten minutes.”
Kevin waved his hand “Sure, go ahead.”
Dorothy walked ahead, with Maxton following her cut of the pizza place
He started speaking in an unpleasant tone as soon as they stopped, “What brings you back to Havenbrook?”
“Work”
If it werent for work, she wouldn’t step foot in this place again,
“You need to work? Didn’t you latch onto some rich guy?”
Maxton didn’t mince his words. He was okay with embarrassing his own daughter in public, not even bothering to lower his voice
“Is that any of your business? Dorothy was getting impatient. “We haven’t asked for your money or ridden on your coattails. You’d better stay out of my business”
“Who do you think you’re talking to? Dorothy, I’m your father! Don’t put on airs with me: you’re just like your mother!”
His voice raised unconsciously when she gave him the cold shoulder.
Onginally, Dorothy just wanted to deal with him quickly and return, but she couldn’t stand it when he spoke about her mother like that.

“Save it, and tell that woman to save it too! We’ve backed down this far, not because we’re weak, but because we don’t want to fight over trash! If you keep pushing us. I won’t hesitate to spill the beans to the media! The Sanchez family has a reputation in Hawenbrook, so you can think about the consequences.”
Dorothy left him with that and walked back into the shop.
Behind her, Maxion was fuming. You dare to threaten me? Finel Don’t blame me for not holding back! You better prepare to collect your mother’s body!‘
