The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1291

Jonathan, clad in black, emerged from the building, a shadow of the once towering figure in the business world. Now, even his walk hinted at a slight stoop, a bowing under invisible weights. It wasn't hard to see why. The recent blows life had dealt him - the loss of his wife not long ago, and now, his only son's fate hanging in the balance - were enough to bend even the sturdiest of oaks.

As he stepped out, his gaze immediately fell on Dorothy and Kevin waiting nearby. His face darkened, his jaw set as he marched towards them, barely containing his wrath.

Dorothy felt a surge of anxiety, her mind racing through all possible scoldings she might receive. Kevin wasn't faring much better. After all, he was there primarily to ensure Dorothy's safety.

Jonathan wasted no time upon reaching them. He headed straight for Dorothy, fury in his eyes.

"Your mom always said you were trouble, and damn if she wasn't right!" he spat out, his hand raised in a threatening gesture.

Kevin moved to intervene but a look from Dorothy stopped him. The next moment, a sharp slap echoed, sending Dorothy staggering, nearly falling to the ground.

The incident, happening at such a bustling time at the airport, didn't go unnoticed. Many bystanders quickly took out their phones to capture the scene.

"I'm sorry..." Dorothy murmured, her role far from over. The stinging pain on her face made her lips quiver.

Kevin quickly stepped in, "This has nothing to do with Ms. Sanchez. It was Quincy! He's the one who poisoned Mr. Lopez!"
