The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 295

Everett remembered Kevin mentioning that Karen had a baby girl. He guessed that the tiny hand in the photo belonged to her.

It made sense, especially considering Karen and Dorothy were closer than blood sisters. It was only natural for Dorothy to share photos of Karen's daughter.

Like a man possessed, Everett scrolled down and clicked on every picture. He even clicked on those related to her work, as if, by doing so, he could understand more about her life in the past four years.

It was clear that Dorothy was busy with work. Her Twitter feed was minimal, and personal updates were even scarcer.

He exited the app, only to see that Dorothy had replied to his message.

[Okay, I'll cooperate as much as I can.]

Everett stared at the message for a moment before he quickly dialed Kevin's number.

"The driver helped me in Everglow City, are you able to get in touch with him?"

"I can try. Let me find his number, and I’ll get back to you.” Kevin didn’t fully understand what he meant, but he would do as asked.

A minute after hanging up, Kevin called back. “Mr. Lopez, I managed to contact the driver, but he’s not in Everglow City anymore. He’s out of town. If you need a driver, I can find you another one.”

Kevin assumed Mr. Lopez was planning another trip to Everglow City.

Everett frowned. “Tell him to return to Everglow City in three days and stay put.”

“Alright. Would you like me to book a flight for you to Everglow City in three days?”

“I’m not going.”

Kevin was a bit confused.

“Give me the driver’s number. I’ll talk to him.”

Kevin hesitated before agreeing. “Alright.”

He had no idea why a random driver in Everglow City would be given the opportunity to speak directly to Mr. Lopez. What could they possibly have to discuss?

Kevin sent the number over, and Everett dialed it immediately.

The driver picked up quickly. "Hello?"

"Well, nothing really. I just wanted to know what the purpose of the recording would be."

"Do you remember the car I asked you to hit? I want to talk to the owner myself."

The driver caught on quickly. "You don't want to use your own voice?"

"Correct."

"I understand! I'll cooperate fully."

After hanging up, Everett instructed Kevin to get started on the arrangement right away.

Everything was set. He glanced at the phone on his desk, which still displayed the conversation with Dorothy.

His lips tightened. Everett felt like he was betraying himself.

Was this what it meant to give up?

His steadfast nature, which had never wavered over the years, was crumbling in every situation that had something to do with Dorothy.
