The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1293

But it didn't take long before he answered his own question, "Makes sense, Everett's gone and you're struggling to deal with it."

"Why did you call me?" Dorothy sniffled deliberately, "It's because you got Quincy killed, that led to Everett’s..."

"His death was his own doing! Getting involved with a woman like Quincy wasn't my doing."

"Lane, aren't you scared I'll call the cops on you? You're a fugitive now!"

Lane chuckled, his voice as carefree as ever.

"I'm not scared! Everyone else might go to the police, but not you, you can't."

Pretending to be clueless, Dorothy asked, "Why not?"

"Because—though Quincy is gone, that doesn't mean there's no antidote left in the world!"

"..."

"But if I die or get caught, then you're definitely going down with me."

"You, you have the antidote? Then why not bring it out!" Dorothy, hearing this, felt a sudden relief.

There's an antidote!

Knowing this, it felt like their efforts hadn't been in vain!

"Bring it out, then what? Save Everett? Dorothy, you're thinking too big. I wish Everett would drop dead this instant; why would I save him?" Lane's voice darkened at the mention of Everett, "All of this, having to sneak around, isn't it all because of him, Everett?!"

"He just wanted me to work at the Lopez Corporation, it wasn’t aimed at you!"

"But in the end, wasn't East Star Enterprises taken over, and I was driven out of Eldorria City like a stray dog?" Lane shouted, "Even now, after he's dead, you're still speaking for him! Dorothy, you better understand what you're doing!"

"..."
