Crying over Everett until she fainted seemed like a reasonable reaction; Lane wouldn't suspect a thing.
"How about we just say you're laid up with a bad case of the flu?"
"That won't work. After your part is done, the spotlight shifts to me. Avoiding it isn't the answer." Dorothy sighed, leaning against Everett's broad shoulders, "Never thought I'd find myself walking down the path of show business."
Everett gently patted her hand, "It'll all be over soon! I'll wrap up my current projects, and then it's showtime."
"Right." Dorothy nodded, "And after that, it's smooth sailing."
She looked forward to that day.
Suddenly, Everett had a thought. He stood up, his handsome face taking on a serious expression, "To keep things authentic, I haven't mentioned this to my dad. If he's a bit harsh with you, don't hold it against him."
"Don't worry, I won't."
...
After Lane left, Kenneth began searching his place.
It wasn't big, just a hideout.
Really, there were only a few places that could hide anything. Kenneth had already scoped them out.
But after a thorough search, he came up empty-handed.
It seemed Lane didn't keep the antidote here.
Makes sense, something that critical wouldn't be just lying around, especially with Everett potentially on his tail.
When Lane returned, Kenneth had already prepped everything for cooking.
He simply reached out to take the bag from him without a word.
Lane smirked, "So, you had a thing for Dorothy too?"

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...
