The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1254

Listening to Quincy calling Heather stupid was the best joke Lane had heard in a long while.

“She’s dumb, but what makes you any better? If it wasn’t for your need to show off, to outdo Dorothy, how would I have known you also poisoned Everett?”

“…”

“Don’t try to deny it. I’ve been with enough women to know what’s going on in your heads! It’s all about jealousy towards Dorothy. You only tried to impress me because I said you were prettier than Dorothy. Would you have agreed to have dinner with me otherwise? No, you wouldn’t!”

Lane might not have been clear about everything, but he knew the way women thought.

The only person he could never figure out was Dorothy.

But that didn’t matter now! With Quincy’s unwitting help, Heather was as good as his!

“Mr. Lane, please... let me go. I really don’t want to die! I could be your dog, do anything you ask! I’m not only good at creating that drug, I can create others! You hate Mr. Lopez, don’t you? I’m just an innocent bystander; I never got involved in your battles!”

“Innocent? You weren’t so innocent when you were asking for money, all high and mighty.” Lane lightly tapped her cheek before continuing to gesture with his cigarette.

Quincy tried to dodge, but there was nowhere to hide!

Soon, she felt the burning pain on her cheek!

“Ah! Mr. Lane, please! My face!”

Lane seemed unmoved, even as the cigarette was snuffed out on her skin. He simply lit another and continued to burn other parts of her body.

It was as if the woman in front of him was Heather…

“Your hatred should be directed at Everett! He’s the one who made you like this.”

Lane didn’t stop until Quincy’s right cheek was unrecognizable.

But her left cheek was still intact.

“To leave alive? Forget it. But I might keep you around for a few days.” After all, Lane needed to see if Everett had indeed been poisoned.

Meanwhile, he could revisit old acquaintances.

Lane gagged Quincy again and wrapped her mouth with tape.

Her cheeks, already burned by the cigarette, throbbed with excruciating pain.

But her moans were nothing to Lane, who was filled with hatred.

This time, he was back to take Dorothy away.

He had thought he’d never get a chance to beat Everett, who was too powerful. But who knew?

Fate had delivered Quincy right to him!
