The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1414

Dorothy had zero tolerance for unreasonable people.

But this woman was relentless.

As more onlookers gathered, the wife began spinning tales, painting quite the scene.

“Everyone, come and see this lady! She saw my husband's car keys, a Land Rover, no less, worth over a hundred grand! And she started flirting with him! Caught her red-handed, and now she's all flustered, even talking about personal injury!”

The husband, seeing things spiral, tried to intervene, “Let's all calm down, folks. My wife is pregnant and a bit emotional, speaking nonsense!”

“I'm not speaking nonsense! I saw you two laughing together, so bright and cheery, anyone would think you were here for a prenatal appointment!” she snapped, still not satisfied, her anger squarely aimed at Dorothy, “I've seen many gold diggers like you before!”

Dorothy was stuck. Arguing seemed pointless, and all she wanted was to keep her distance from this woman.

Lest she lash out and harm Dorothy's own unborn child.

But the wife mistook Dorothy's silence for fear, or even guilt.

Snatching the car keys from her husband, she waved them in Dorothy's face. “You're after this, aren't you? Aiming for the passenger seat in this car? Dream on! Think you can snag any man just because you're pretty?”

“Haven't you had enough?” The husband had reached his limit, but constrained by his wife's pregnancy, he could only scold her gently, “There's nothing between her and me, just a misunderstanding. Can't you stop making things up?”

“Oh, she's a misunderstanding, is she? What about that message on your phone last night from WhatsApp, huh? The one saying she misses you?”

Hearing this, Dorothy began to piece things together.

This wife's hysteria wasn't without some basis, given her husband's indiscretions.

But...

“I don't even want to talk about it.” Dorothy managed a helpless smile, “Her husband accidentally spilled water on me, then handed me a napkin, and just like that, this lady accuses me of seducing her husband.”

Had Everett not been there, the onlookers might have continued to speculate.

But his presence alone dispelled any doubts.

Comparing the two men, it was clear who was more appealing.

Dorothy, somewhat amused, pointed at the husband's car keys, “His wife claims I was trying to seduce him because I saw he drives a Land Rover.”

Now it was Everett's turn to be speechless.

Truth be told, he could handle high society with ease, but this kind of irrational chaos?
