The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 406

"Wait, you're taking on the Lopez Corporation?" Dorothy's delicate brows furrowed. "Lane, you don't stand a chance."

"Am I supposed to just let them walk all over me?" Lane was fuming.

Because of his pursuit of Dorothy, Jeffrey must have spilled the beans to Everett. There had been no sign of trouble, making Lane believe that Everett had accepted it.

But this counterattack, the abrupt acquisition of East Star Enterprises, was too sudden! It was like being thrown a bone, only to be shooed away like a beggar!

Lane had never faced such an insult in his life!

"Lane, you can't beat the Lopez Corporation," Dorothy said, not out of favoritism for Everett, but because it was the cold, hard truth.

East Star Enterprises might have been substantial, but everything is relative.

If Everett set his sights on taking down East Star Enterprises, it wouldn't matter if the whole domestic industry declared a boycott against the Lopez Corporation unless he had a change of heart. After all, the Lopez Corporation would merely lose the local market by doing that.

Besides, in the world of business, how many companies would cut ties with a giant like the Lopez Corporation just to take a stand for someone else?

"Dorothy, he's doing this because of you!"

"I know." By now, if Dorothy couldn't see Everett's intentions, she'd be a fool.

What worried her was the possibility that Everett knew about Langston and was acting out of that knowledge.

Years of knowing Everett had given her insight into his temperament and character: he was always the gentleman, logical, considering all angles before making a decision.

This aggressive move to crush East Star Enterprises overnight didn't seem like his style.
