The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1177

There she stood, her tone and demeanor screaming the wicked stepmother of Abigail and Langston.

Everett didn't argue, just listened quietly.

"I was thinking, actually, it's not totally unreasonable for Ms. Sanchez to want some financial security. Life's tough, and we all need money for the basics. The lawsuit must've drained her savings, and now with you two breaking up... You should really try to see it from her perspective."

"I'm willing to give her something, but she's asking for too much."

"What exactly does Ms. Sanchez want?" Quincy paused, probing gently, "If... if she's willing to take something and leave Eldorria City, I could chip in too, as a sort of compensation for Ms. Sanchez."

"You'd do that?"

Quincy nodded, her expression one of understanding and kindness.

"Without me in the picture, the Lopez family might have accepted her. She probably hates me, doesn't she? I figured it's better to clear the air, offer her some financial peace, and then we can all move on."

Her real aim was to get Dorothy to leave Eldorria City for good, to avoid any further complications.

What if...

Everett and Dorothy rekindled their old flame?

"Then you talk to Dorothy yourself, see if she's willing."

"You're okay with that?" Quincy was surprised.

"She's been interfering with my work. If you can sort this out, it'd be a big help."

Quincy immediately agreed, "Don't worry, I'll handle it! I'll make sure Ms. Sanchez is satisfied."

Everett's reaction to her enthusiasm remained lukewarm.

But for Quincy, this was progress! At least he wasn't giving her the cold shoulder anymore.

"Anything else?"

Everett's way of showing her out hadn't changed.
