The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1149

Jeffrey grimaced, nodding reluctantly, "Sounds about right."

"Everett, he's a real magnet for trouble!" Karen exclaimed, then shot Jeffrey a glare, "Just like you!"

"..."

He felt unjustly accused.

But with his history of romantic entanglements flashing before his eyes, Jeffrey found himself at a loss for words.

Karen sighed, her gaze softening as she looked at Jeffrey, "Are we just going to stand by and do nothing? Can't we help somehow?"

"What do you suggest?"

He wanted to help, didn't he?

Karen clapped her hands together, suddenly smiling with a mischievous twinkle in her eye.

"I actually have an idea."

"Let's hear it."

"Why don't you go and seduce Quincy? Make her fall for you, and then she'll leave Dorothy and Everett alone."

At that moment, Jeffrey realized he was speechless in his native tongue.

"You're really selfless, pushing your own husband into the fray!"

"If it works, you'd be doing a good deed! Although, I doubt Quincy would even give you a second glance." Karen shrugged, "After all, you've had your fair share of women in the past, not to mention your crush on Heather. Quincy won't be any different!"

"..."

That hit a nerve.

It took Jeffrey a while to gather his thoughts.

"Karen, can we not bring up the past?" His heart sank at the mention.

"Just saying, it's not like you're losing a limb!"

"Do you really not care if I sleep around? Do you even love me?"

In her presence, his rights were non-existent.

...

Everett was intentionally keeping Quincy on a string.

He couldn't let her think that having leverage meant she could control him completely.

Once he felt Quincy's patience wearing thin, Everett finally had Kevin bring her to his office.

"What do you want now?"

His tone was laced with impatience, perfectly aligning with Kevin's earlier comments about his bad mood.

Quincy tried to sound helpful, "I gave Ms. Sanchez the antidote."

Everett looked up slightly, "And?"

"She should be fine now! If you don't believe me, you can have her checked out."
