"You can dream on! Even in death, I wouldn't be caught dead with you!"
"Oh? Now that's something I'd love to see. Would you really gamble with your life for Everett? Or let me put it this way... if it was between you and him, who gets to live?"
Lane hung up abruptly.
Dorothy stared at the now dark phone screen for a few seconds, sensing that things were far from simple. She immediately got up to find Everett.
This was bigger than she thought, and despite Lane denying it, his words clearly hinted at something to do with Quincy's disappearance!
...
When Lane returned to the rundown cottage on the outskirts, the chair Quincy was tied to had toppled over.
She was struggling to escape!
Hearing Lane's footsteps, Quincy truly felt like she was facing the devil himself.
"Tsk, tsk, couldn't make a run for it, huh?"
"Please, let me go... I don't want to die..."
Quincy's face was swollen beyond recognition.
Scars and sores adorned her face, making her look like a ghost.
But right now, her looks were the least of her concerns. She wasn't even sure if she could save her own life!
"Let you go? Impossible." Lane walked over, this time not with a knife, but a rusty axe, and squatted beside her. "Tell me, which hand did you use to poison Dorothy?"
"...I was wrong, I truly was! I'll never harm Dorothy again!" Quincy's heart sank.
Lane was annoyed by her whimpering, his eyebrows knitting together. "I asked you a question, answer it! Or else, I'll cut off your tongue first!"

The readers' comments on the novel: The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires
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....
How could Jeffrey throw the knife down at the scene of the crime with both their fingerprints on there?...
Again no update, so is this where it ends? Or post the whole book. Your dragging this out...
