"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.

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...
