The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1178
As Dorothy made a beeline for the hospital room, Quincy, with the quick reflexes of someone who's grown up playing lacrosse at prep schools, intercepted her.
"Unbelievable, you! Mr. Lopez is ill, for heaven's sake!"
"I couldn't care less if he's sick or not. If he pays up, I'm out of here. No money, no peace."
Quincy, coming from an affluent background, wasn't accustomed to such confrontations. A verbal spar with a rampaging Dorothy, channeling her inner Karen, was not something he was prepared for.
Dorothy was clearly well-prepared, having been coached by Karen in a crash course of assertiveness.
"If it's the money you're after, fine! But let's talk this through like adults. Mr. Lopez didn’t say he wouldn’t pay you."
Quincy had to exert some force to pull her away from the door before he could shut it.
Dorothy had intended to showcase her acting skills to Everett, but the remnants of her illness and resulting weakness meant she couldn't match Quincy's strength and was dragged away...
"So now you're the one calling the shots for Everett?"
Resigned to her fate, Dorothy decided to perform her drama right there at the doorway.
Quincy glanced at the closed door, relieved, then regained some composure. "Yes, Mr. Lopez and I are about to get married. His concerns are mine now."
"Ha! About to get married doesn't mean you're married yet. You think you have a say in the Lopez family matters?"
"Ms. Sanchez, let's not get into that. Just tell me what you want, how much, make a list, and we can discuss it."
Dorothy rolled her eyes, leaning against the wall to conserve her energy for the performance yet to come.

Can you please convey this to the person who owns this website? Update “find me in your labyrinth” novel please...author is MIA since 12/4......
I don't agree with not letting him in. That just seems cruel and besides wasn't the whole point of getting pregnant again was for him to experience and travel the journey of pregnancy with her?...
Sometimes Karen can be such a drama queen and immature....
For some reason I am now feeling suspicious about Kevin's new girlfriend....
I really hope this Perdita person is not a new villain....
I too echoed the sentiments of pppplllleeeaaaassssseeeeee bring this drama to an end. I beg of you!...
Really please finish this book and upload the full story so it can end. It's been drugout for so long!...
The intimate scenes in this story or uncomfortable to read. They either come off as being forced, painful, or simply not enjoyable....
Okay I left a long while ago and came back. Looks like it's been updated but still not done lol. I'll maybe wait 6 months before coming back and it'll probably still be going on. It's like a soap opera instead of a novel...
Kenneth is confirming something I've been thinking about him for several hundred chapters ago and that is he is a future murder suicide perpetrator. And after reading chapter 1275 yeah it's just brought the thought back....
