The phrase was so easily misconstrued, it was almost comical.
Dorothy's eyes suddenly filled with caution, and Everett's voice softened, shedding his wild persona and reverting back to his usual suave self.
"Just for dinner."
"And you'll take me to see Byte 7 after?"
"Yes."
Dorothy didn't have much of a choice at this point.
She crossed the street and approached Kenneth's car, tapping lightly on the window.
Before she could speak, Kenneth blurted out in panic, "Dorothy, I can't get a hold of Byte 7 anymore!"
"Everett took him."
"Then I'll go find Everett!"
Dorothy quickly intervened, "He's on edge right now; don't provoke him! Going head-to-head with Everett is not a smart move. You should head back for now, and I'll handle him."
"Are you asking me to leave you alone with Everett? Just a moment ago, he was…"
"Kenneth, I'm so close to the truth! I can't afford any mishaps."
"But if Everett discovers the true reason behind your search for Byte 7, he might intercept any evidence! Are you counting on him choosing you over his parents?"
Of course not.
Even Dorothy understood Everett would protect his parents first and foremost. His mother was seriously ill; sending her to prison would be like a death sentence.
"That's why I need to placate Everett, to find a chance to contact Byte 7 alone, out of his watchful eye! I fear we might never get this opportunity again."
Her rationale was always persuasive, leaving Kenneth at a loss for words.

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...
