Dorothy's body tensed up, her reaction nearly answering the question for him.
She desperately wanted to ask Everett when he'd started suspecting her. She thought she had hidden it so well.
Seeing her silence, Everett pressed on, "It was Heather, wasn't it? I’ll call her over and you can deal with her as you see fit."
"Don't!" Dorothy finally spoke up, "I don't need you to intervene. I can handle this myself."
"Don't worry about my mom. I'll talk to her."
By hook or by crook, he would get what he wanted.
Amanda surely wouldn't turn against her son over Heather. And Heather had definitely tarnished her standing in Amanda's eyes after the recent accident in which she hurt Everett.
"I really don't need it, Everett. Please, stay out of this."
Dorothy tried to walk away, but Everett pulled her back.
"There's really nothing between Heather and me."
"I know that!"
If she still doubted anything between Everett and Heather now, she'd be out of her mind.
"Dorothy..."
"I'm just a bit tired. Can we go back and rest? Please?" Dorothy gave him a weary smile, clearly wanting to drop the subject, "Everett, I don't want to incriminate anyone without evidence. If we just use your family clout to pin this on Heather, that's not what I want."
She needed the truth, a fair and just verdict!
Dorothy was well aware that if she asked Everett to take Heather out, he would do it in a heartbeat. But that wasn't her goal.
If she had wanted that, she could've just confronted Heather and Amanda back in the day, making sure they all went down together. Why bother gathering evidence or recovering files from a USB?
"I'll help you find it."

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...
