The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 121

In order not to make Everett think she was throwing a tantrum, she thought about it and texted him back a simple "Hmm" before finally putting down her phone to sleep.

Somehow, that night, she dreamed of the scene when her father admitted to cheating on her mother and having an illegitimate daughter.

"Yes, she's about the same age as Dorothy. Not even a year after you were pregnant, she was found to be pregnant too. If you're willing to accept them, both mother and daughter, then we don't have to get a divorce. I promise, from now on, you two will be the only women in my life. I won't look for a third one. Who would let you occupy the position of the wife, but you can’t even give birth to a son?! Fine, if you don’t agree to a divorce, then you can live as a widow!”

At that time, Dorothy was very young. Her mother, Bella, had her back to her, so she couldn't see her expression.

What struck her most were these sentences and the look of disgust in her father's eyes when he saw her.

Later, her mother attempted to commit suicide by jumping off a building in a fit of anger. She reached out to grab her mother, but was tripped by a chair and couldn't grasp her clothes.

Suddenly, Dorothy opened her eyes.

She was panting heavily, and it took a while to recover from the dream.

"Are you awake?" Karen was right next to her, staring at her with wide eyes.

It seemed that Karen was afraid Dorothy would do something stupid, so she stayed and slept in the same bed. "My brother is on his way here."

Upon hearing this, Dorothy hurriedly got up to clean up.

Just as she finished getting ready, the doorbell rang.

Kenneth brought three friends this time. Although they didn't look like much, they worked wonders with Dorothy's phone.

Dorothy had thought about this too. If Heather had planned this out meticulously, she could have anticipated that Dorothy might recover the text message.

"But at least it shows that someone had asked me for the core technical blueprint during that period."

"Dorothy, what exactly is the issue between you and Ms. Heather? She seems determined to crush you." Even Karen, who was watching from the side, felt terrified.

She had seen Heather's photos a few times before and thought she was a gentle and likable girl who was good at her job and worth admiring. But then she turned around and framed her best friend.

What a bitch!

"I don't know." Dorothy pressed her lips together. "Maybe... she just hates the fact that we look alike."
