Yep, that was Everett's phone number!
No way in hell would Dorothy ever forget the number.
How did he get her number? And why was he calling her?
"Dorothy, why aren't you picking up?" Karen, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned around to see her. Noticing something off, she asked, "You look pale. Who's calling?"
"It's Everett..."
Kenneth, who was driving, slammed on the brakes.
"What?! Who?"
"Everett." As she spoke, the phone stopped ringing, the screen showing a missed call.
Kenneth glanced at Dorothy from the rear-view mirror, a tense atmosphere spreading in the car.
"Did he find out something?"
Karen reached out to take the phone. "Give it to me, I'll answer it. Let's see what he wants. I can pretend I don't know who he is. After all, I don't know his number and your phone is registered under my name. It's normal for me to take the call."
But Dorothy just stared at the screen, not responding.
Until Abigail and Langston, realizing that something was wrong with their mom, started tugging at her clothes.
"Mommy, what's wrong?" Abigail blinked.
Langston was a bit more astute. After a moment's thought, he pulled out his own phone. "Mommy, is that guy bullying you again? I'll get back at him right now!"
"No." Dorothy finally spoke. "No, let me calm down for a bit."
She needed to know why Everett was calling her, at least get a sense of how far his suspicions or investigations had gone.

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...
