The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 743
Jeffrey peered at Everett whose expression had soured and instinctively followed his gaze.
"Uh... Your rival, man, he's really laying it on thick! His crush on Dorothy is practically neon-sign obvious."
Everett frowned, dragging his gaze back and shot Jeffrey a look. "Shut up."
Jeffrey grabbed the pack of cigarettes, lit one up, and didn't bother getting into the car. He just stood there taking a few drags.
"Seriously though, you throwing in the towel on Dorothy?"
Everett's fingers paused on his laptop, his voice barely audible.
"Yeah."
"Ha," Jeffrey chuckled, "Everett, buddy, ask yourself, can you really handle it if one day Dorothy falls for Kenneth and ends up marrying him?"
Everett's handsome face tightened, lips pressed into a thin line, "She won't end up with Kenneth."
"Then what the hell are you doing here? The Lopez Corporation run out of people?"
A private detective could've done the job cheap and easy. Why would Everett, the big boss of the Lopez Corporation, drop his billion-dollar deals to camp out in front of this apartment complex all day?
"Jeffrey, you got a death wish?"
"Not really." Jeffrey took one last puff and flicked the cigarette butt away, bending down to Everett's level, "I got played with the whole Paige thing. That kid ain't mine; she's Arthur's! He got me hammered and set the whole thing up. Lucky for me, Arthur's got a thing for Paige, or she would've ended up in my bed for real!"
"And then?"
"Aren't you worried that one day, Kenneth might pull a similar stunt and get Dorothy drunk?"
With Kenneth's stubborn streak, it was clear he wasn't just any guy.
Who else would willingly look after Dorothy's kids with another man for years? How many men could do that?
Now that Dorothy's back on the market and Everett's apparently out of the picture, wouldn't Kenneth be over the moon?
Who's to say he won't make his move, turn the tables, and if that happens, the one losing his mind would probably be Everett!

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...
