The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 79

"It's all because of her! She's the reason Everett's in this mess!"

If it wasn't for Jeffrey holding her back, Heather would've already thrown herself at Dorothy, without a care for her lady-like image.

"Everett is being treated right now. We can settle the score later!"

Seeing the onlookers, Jeffrey somehow managed to drag Heather away.

When he returned, he found Dorothy still standing in the same spot, the mark of a slap still visible on her face.

With her delicate face, she looked somewhat pitiful, which only made him even angrier!

"Why the hell are you still here?!"

Jeffrey already had a low opinion of Everett's little assistant, thinking his buddy, Everett, was just going through a phase, and once the novelty wore off, he'd have lost interest.

But after all that happened, he didn't even want to look at her.

"Everett... had an accident because of me?"

Dorothy had picked up on clues from their conversation, but she didn't know the whole story.

Wasn't Everett supposed to be with Heather? How was the accident related to her?

"Today's August 25th, didn't you know?"

Dorothy was silent.

Of course, she knew. So, what?

Jeffrey scoffed, "Stop playing innocent! Think about what you've done! You're already registered as Everett's wife, and you're still flirting with other men! Dorothy, you've outdone yourself! You're the only one who can cuckold Everett!"

Flirting with other men?

"Everett found out about me bringing Mr. Nelson to the hospital?"

“Is it something important?” Perhaps noticing Dorothy’s raspy voice, Kevin paused, “All right, then come early tomorrow."

As he was about to hang up, Dorothy suddenly asked, "Wait! Kevin, did Mr. Lopez...come to work today?"

"Mr. Lopez? I heard he had an accident and didn't come to the office today. But I just received a notice that he'll be going on a business trip tonight as planned, so it must not be serious."

"Did he call you himself?"

"Yeah, why?"

Dorothy forced a smile, "Oh, nothing. Thanks."

So, Everett had already left the hospital, and she was the only fool waiting around!

She had been thinking about how to explain Kenneth to Everett all night, but it seemed unnecessary then. He didn't need it.
