The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 683

Everett clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white, and the tension in his jaw sharpened its contours.

Heather burst into an unrestrained, almost maniacal laughter.

The sight was horrifying to watch.

"The truth is, Everett, it was your own mother who instructed the doctors at the hospital to administer the fatal dose of Digoxin to her mother. Just 10mg could kill an adult, and she got a whopping 50mg injection—of course, her heart gave out instantly. No miracle could've saved her."

A buzzing filled Everett's ears, drowning out all other sounds.

He could only watch as Heather's lips moved, her hysterical laughter piercing the silence.

"This can't be happening. It's impossible."

He had asked his father before, who had assured him his mother wasn't involved.

"And another thing. Everett, you might as well give up trying to hide the truth from Dorothy. She knows about your mother's masterpiece. Why do you think she left you? Why do you think she told you she was in love with Kenneth? Have you ever thought about that?

The hospital's surveillance was supposed to be destroyed, but I made copies ahead of time, spread across several USB drives. I had the security room staff play dumb, selling one of the drives with the incriminating content to Dorothy for a pretty penny. And that footage? It was of your mother giving the order."

USB drives.

Everett found it increasingly difficult to breathe as if someone's invisible grip was squeezing his heart mercilessly.

Yes, the USB drive.

The one Dorothy had Byte 7 recover.

On it was the evidence of his mother's crime against Dorothy's mother.

"Heather, you'd better not be lying," Everett ground out through clenched teeth, each word heavy with venom.
