The two men turned in unison, watching as she jogged over and forcefully pushed Everett aside to stand in front of Kenneth. "What do you think you're doing to Kenneth?!"
Everett hadn't expected such a fiery reaction from her. Dorothy stood before him like a steadfast soldier. Her entire being radiated an aura of caution and defiance. Her wary and distant gaze pierced him deeply.
"Kenneth, are you okay?"
Kenneth, still gasping for fresh air, managed a weak wave of his hand to signal he was okay.
Once she had confirmed Kenneth was unharmed, Dorothy turned her icy gaze back towards Everett, lambasting him with a cold fury. "Is this all the Lopez family knows how to do? Do you think that because you're the CEO of Lopez Corporation, you can trample on everyone around you? Do we all seem like insignificant ants to you that could be toyed with and crushed at your whim?"
Each word she spat out was sharp and unyielding. Her condemnation of him was relentless.
Earlier, Dorothy had called Kevin to discuss resigning, only to find out that Everett wasn't at the company.
Worried that Everett might come after Kenneth, she rushed over, only to find Everett with his hand around Kenneth's throat.
She was terrified.
She feared that her actions might lead to Kenneth's death, too.
The guilt from her mother's death was already too heavy a burden. She wished she could've died with her.

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...
