Despise Everett?
Lane wasn't born yesterday!
"Out with it! Who sent you?!"
"I came on my own."
No sooner had he spoken than Lane, gripping the knife, tightened his hold, and a thin line of blood appeared on the man's neck.
Blood slid down the blade.
Fortunately, the wound wasn't deep, because Lane couldn't afford a murder scene here! He needed to stay under the radar, to avoid stirring the pot.
"Still playing tough? Do you believe I could end you right here?"
The man just smirked, showing no fear, "Go ahead! I came alone, fully prepared to face death! As long as you promise me one thing—that Everett doesn't get to live—I don't care if I die!"
"..."
Seeing his genuine fearlessness, Lane started to believe him, at least a little.
But to win his complete trust just like that? Lane was no fool.
"Why do you hate Everett so much?"
The man gave a scornful laugh and then rolled up his pant leg to reveal a ghastly scar, "Is this reason enough for me to hate Everett?"
Lane was taken aback.
"Did Everett do this to you?"
"All thanks to him! My life could've been great—parents alive, a successful career, but now... I'm left a cripple for the rest of my life!"
"What happened?"
Lane saw the wound, but Everett must have had a reason, right?
"What else could it be over but a woman—Dorothy! My sister was close to Dorothy and thought she'd be a good match for me. I admit I was interested, but... once I knew she wasn't into me, I backed off. But Everett, he wouldn't let it go. He was out for blood!"

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...
