Dorothy stood tall and unwavering, "I have no idea what you're talking about. What does he have to do with this?"
"Oh, you'll understand soon enough!"
With her phone shattered on the ground, Dorothy could only hope that Kevin would realize she was in trouble soon.
...
Lane indeed took Dorothy to the apartment building.
Walking in, the presence of surveillance cameras in every corner was unmistakable, and not a single apartment looked lived in; all were bare, echoing the emptiness of the place.
It felt eerie due to the lack of human presence.
"So, you wanted to come in, take a look around," Lane turned, a mocking smile on his face. "Is it because Kenneth told you there's some kind of antidote here, and you just had to come?"
"Does he have the freedom to just call you like that, to contact you whenever?" Dorothy tried to keep her composure and stall for time.
Lane paused at her question.
"How would I know how he contacts you?"
"Exactly, because he didn't contact me." Dorothy slightly tilted her head to look at him, "You know, all this talk about killing people, it really makes it hard for me to be around you. For all I know, I could be next on your list."
"..."
"I heard your call, I guessed you would head straight here, so I followed, and here I am. But then you jump to conclusions, thinking Kenneth told me, even going as far as wanting to kill him." Dorothy forced a smile, "See how terrifying you've become?"
Dorothy was gambling.
Gambling that Lane hadn't come directly here!

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...
