The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1148

Quincy watched as Kevin spun his tale with such vivid detail it almost seemed plausible.

"Ms. Sanchez didn't seem like that kind of person before."

"Tell me about it! I was shocked too," Kevin waved dismissively. "Goes to show, you can never really know someone. Right, Dr. Quincy?"

"..."

Quincy felt Kevin's gaze pierce through him, as if there was a hidden message in his words.

"If you're willing to wait, I'll let Mr. Lopez know. He should be able to see you once he's done with his current meeting," Kevin hinted before making a swift exit, as if concluding a performance.

"Alright."

Quincy watched Kevin leave, a flicker of contemplation in his eyes.

The current situation between Dorothy and Everett was indeed strained! Given that Quincy had already provided Dorothy with the antidote, if Everett's intentions were solely to deceive her for it, they should have reconciled by now. Instead, their disdain for each other seemed to intensify.

The only explanation was that Everett wasn't pretending.

Thinking of this, Quincy sighed, reassuring himself.

From now on, Everett's fate was in his hands! He could make Everett do whatever he wanted.

With this thought, Quincy glanced at the imposing Lopez Corporation building and smirked.

Perhaps, the entire building could end up being his.

Ever since learning the full story, Karen was restless and distracted, even while holding her daughter.

Given Karen's temperament, it was a sign of maturity that she hadn't already confronted Quincy directly.

"If I could, I would take Everett's place and suffer the poison myself."

Without Everett's assistance, Jeffrey wouldn't have his daughter or be with Karen today. He couldn't forget such debts.

But in this situation, there was little they could do.

"Doesn't Quincy have any vulnerabilities?"

Karen couldn't believe there weren't any.

"I've looked into it. Her relationship with the Caldwell family isn't great. She has a brother, Simeon, who's practically at odds with her! Do you think Quincy would care about such a brother, or her parents who favor sons over daughters?"

"Is Quincy really in love with Everett now?"
