Handing over the hard drive to Byte 7, Dorothy stepped out of the villa and was surprised to see Everett still there!
He had been sitting at the front door, waiting for her all this time.
At the sound of her footsteps, Everett stood up.
With his obsession for cleanliness, he had collected his few smoked cigarette butts and ashes, planning to dispose of them in a trash can.
"Did he help you?"
"Yeah." Dorothy nodded, but it was clear she wasn't in the mood to share details with Everett.
Everett didn't press further, simply getting into his car.
Dorothy noticed that Everett never insisted she sit in the passenger seat, which is why she could tolerate his car rides.
If he had demanded from the start that she sit beside him, there wouldn't have been a second time. She would rather walk!
On the ride back, Dorothy bowed her head as she calculated the funds and assets she had left.
She didn't fancy becoming that oddball's girlfriend!
The car smoothly entered the underground parking of the Lopez Corporation. Just as Dorothy was about to get out, her phone rang.
Glancing at it, she saw it was Kenneth.
Assuming he was calling about the meeting with Byte 7, she didn't answer immediately. Instead, she quickened her pace, putting some distance between herself and Everett before calling back.
"Hey, Kenneth!"
On the other end, the typically calm and gentle voice was replaced by one filled with urgency.
"Dorothy, I can't reach Karen! She said she was taking Abigail out yesterday evening, and I didn't think much of it when she didn't answer my calls this morning. But now, there's been no word from her all day!"

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...
