The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1276
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!"
"What do you think? In my condition, what could I possibly want from you?" he chuckled, "We're both men with nothing left to lose."
"..."
"It's fine. If you think I'm a burden or of no use, I'll leave."
With that, the man turned to go.
Lane immediately stopped him, "Don't you dare walk away! But don't think for a second that I trust you easily."
"So?"
"Just come with me."
Lane figured, if the cops ever got on his tail, this man could serve as a decent hostage. "What's your name?"
"Kenneth."

Why didn't Jeffrey call Everett from the office? Lock his door instruct security to not let anyone in and speak to Everett on the phone? Or send him a text giving him a quick summary of what's up and that he's on his way over. That way when he runs into Heather on his way out he informs her Everett already knows....
