Everett thought Dorothy was out for some old-fashioned vigilante justice, so he went out of his way to drag the culprit into the light, ready for her to take her revenge however she saw fit.
But Dorothy was surprisingly calm.
After a long silence, she lifted her gaze to meet Everett's steady eyes.
"Having power doesn't give you the right to decide someone's fate outside the law."
"So, what do you want? Just tell me."
"I want an honest trial. I want to gather evidence and present it to the court. Let the law decide the punishment for the person who killed my mother."
She did not need to play the long game if she only wanted Heather's head.
Everett reached out and took her hand.
"Then I'll get you the evidence, okay?"
Getting a confession from Heather? Piece of cake.
"You'd do that for me?" Dorothy's eyes searched his, filled with raw sincerity and trust.
"Of course."
"Then get to it."
She figured she did not have much time left anyway. Might as well give Everett a heads-up.
He was bound to learn the truth sooner or later.

Karen had always admired Jeffrey's get-up-and-go attitude.

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...
