The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 204

"Mr. Lopez's child?" Karen was still reeling in shock, barely registering what Dorothy was saying.

Thankfully, Kenneth was in the room. He promptly shut the door and clamped a hand over his sister's mouth. "Dorothy said to keep it hush-hush. Zip it!"

"But, but..." Karen couldn't understand why such a thing had to be kept a secret.

Having a child was a game-changer. Surely the Lopez family wouldn't dare cross her now. Shouldn't this baby be Dorothy's shield?

"Do you think they would hesitate to harm an unborn child when they've already shown their willingness to take my mother’s life?" Dorothy said.

Karen was at a loss for words.

Kenneth nodded, feeling a shiver of fear.

If those people targeted Dorothy directly, she wouldn't be here now.

The might of the Lopez family was unparalleled. Not only in Eldorria City but nationwide, few could stand against them. Their corporation was a significant contributor to the city's tax revenue. Going against them was like trying to stop a freight train with a feather.

Karen furrowed her brows. "But you still have Mr. Lopez. He truly loves you."

Dorothy gave a wry smile as her gaze dropped. "I know, but on the other hand, there are his biological parents."

She didn't doubt Everett's love for her, but when compared to parental love, she wasn't sure if their love was enough.

"You're just going to let your mother's death slide?"

"As a daughter, I won't let this go. Those who have blood on their hands, including Everett's parents, won't be spared."

Hence she had to sever ties with Everett.
