The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 332

Lane stepped out of Dorothy's room but didn’t truly leave Havenbrook City. Instead, he booked himself another room in the same hotel.

Thoughts about Verity Holdings Limited plagued him. His unease grew the more he mulled over it. After much contemplation, he dialed Jeffrey's number.

Jeffrey didn't pick up the first time he called. It was some time later when Jeffrey called back.

"You called?"

"Yeah, have you heard about Verity Holdings Limited going under?"

Jeffrey was momentarily stunned. "Wait, the Verity Holdings Limited in Havenbrook City?"

"Exactly! They went bust overnight."

"Weren't they a rather big deal? I briefly looked into them before. Their projects seemed to be doing well, so how did they suddenly collapse?"

That was exactly Lane's query. "So, who do you think could have the power to topple such a large corporation overnight?"

Jeffrey wasn't a fool. He instantly caught Lane's drift.

"Did Verity Holdings Limited cross paths with Dorothy?"

"Indeed, their boss, Hayden, spiked Dorothy's drink. He intended to take advantage of her."

Jeffrey understood instantly. "Of all the people he could have messed with, he had to go after Dorothy. I initially thought that the downfall of Verity Holdings Limited could be due to their own internal issues that had suddenly erupted, but if Dorothy is involved, everything makes sense."

Jeffrey knew all too well that Dorothy was Everett's Achilles' heel. Who could tolerate their most precious treasure being tampered with?

"But how did he find out about Dorothy?" Lane frowned. A sense of foreboding doom began to wash over him.
