Just as expected.
The moment the Nelsons laid eyes on Dorothy, the tirade began.
But it was Kenneth's mother, Sienna, who led the charge!
"It's all because of you! You witch, you curse! How could my son have been so blind to fall for you! You've taken him from us, so young, so soon!"
"Kenneth! If you can hear me, take this woman with you! Take her to be with you!"
Everett had been frowning through the accusations, managing to hold his tongue.
But Sienna's last remark was too much for him.
He was about to step forward when Dorothy quickly grabbed his wrist, shaking her head gently.
"She's crossed the line."
"Everett, nothing she says right now is too much."
Worried he might actually start a conflict at the funeral, Dorothy gently caressed his hand, "Put yourself in their shoes, imagine their grief! You don’t need to come with me, just wait here."
"No." Everett's gaze hardened, "They're not thinking straight."
"I told you! Whatever they do or say right now, it's not too much." Dorothy's voice was weak, still recovering from the ordeal, lacking its usual strength, "Please, just do this for me, will you?"
"..."
"Everett?"
He stood frozen, eventually conceding, "Come back soon."
"I will."
Leaving the comforting warmth of Everett’s palm, Dorothy slowly approached Sienna.
The Nelsons, having benefited from Everett's generosity, naturally felt inclined to defend Dorothy.

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...
