The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 116

"It was Ms. Heather who asked for it, and she said she was in a hurry, so I didn't think too much."

"Even if it was Mr. Lopez who asked, you still had to go through the application process." Kevin tried to calm himself down, but this was a dead-end situation.

The core technical blueprint was leaked, and he had to explain this to SinoSuccess Enterprises. "Plus, you and Ms. Heather haven't been interacting for long. You need to have a reason to claim that she framed you."

Even if he, Kevin, wanted to believe it, the public needed solid evidence. Without it, she would come off like she was just making up a story to save herself.

Dorothy opened her mouth, but she didn't say anything.

She couldn't tell people that the reason Heather disliked and targeted her was because she was now Everett's lady.

"Speak up. It's crunch time, so don't hide anything. If you want me to help you brainstorm, you have to tell me everything. Do you have any conflicts with Ms. Heather?"

"I don't know."

Kevin frowned and stood up from his chair in frustration. "Well, I can't help you with this. Let's wait and see how the company decides to deal with you."

He gave Dorothy a disappointed look and started to leave, but stopped at the door.

"You need to know that once this stain is confirmed, not only could you end up in jail, but just in the industry alone, you would be toast. You’d have to forget about any future."

Dorothy knew the consequences all too well.

She lowered her head and thought for a few seconds, then suddenly looked at him. "Kevin, do you believe that Heather framed me?"

"Belief alone doesn't help." Kevin subconsciously answered while raising an eyebrow. "Why don't you go to Mr. Lopez? Aren't you guys classmates?"

"But Ms. Heather is his crush."

Kevin knew that too.

"Let me figure it out myself. Let me see if I can recover my text messages with Ms. Heather." Dorothy bowed to him. "And… thank you for believing me."

"I didn't!" She immediately retorted. "I didn't betray our company!"

"Then tell me, where did the money for your mother's surgery come from? At the time, Karen even called me to ask if she could borrow some money, which I declined. Later, when I asked her, she said you had solved the medical expenses problem. That's when I found it strange. How did you get the money so quickly?!"

Mr. Percy's suspicion was well-grounded, and it even matched the incident perfectly.

After his outburst, Dorothy suddenly realized something.

Heather was really clever.

She must have known about the agreement between herself and Everett.

Heather must have known that she couldn't tell anyone about the contract marriage; otherwise, it would be a breach of contract and she would have to pay a penalty.

In this way, to others, Dorothy's motive for leaking the core technical blueprint for her mother's medical expenses was complete. Who would believe her now?
