"Well... You're right. I can't fix that." Jeffrey sprawled on the couch, his lips curling into a wry smile.
"Seriously, the way Dorothy speaks and acts, it's downright hurtful. If I were Everett, I'd have thrown in the towel ages ago—wouldn't have waited until now!"
Karen's eyes turned into slits of disapproval upon hearing him criticize her best friend. "What did you just say?"
"Truth hurts, doesn't it?" Jeffrey felt compelled to speak up for his buddy. "Come on, tell me where Everett has ever done Dorothy wrong? Sure, he was sneaky, not exactly upfront about marrying Dorothy, and yes, he used the fact that Dorothy's mom needed money for medical bills. But once he won her over, he treated her like a freaking treasure! Have you ever seen someone as rich as him grovel for a woman's affection like that?"
Jeffrey was flabbergasted, to say the least. He'd watched Everett morph from a cold and aloof blue-blooded gentleman into Dorothy's devoted little lapdog!
"I—uh," Karen started but couldn't quite pin down any faults in Everett.
Jeffrey crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow at her. "Go on, I'm all ears."
"He wants to marry Dorothy but can't handle his own parents. Isn't that on him?"
"That doesn't mean he's mistreated her, does it? His parents aren't him. Who can control others? Can you dictate your own parents' actions? Besides, Dorothy's been safe all these years. Who do you think the Lopez elders are wary of? Dorothy? They're scared of Everett turning his back on them!"
Jeffrey spread his hands in exasperation. "Anything else?"
"She shouldn't have been dragged into this in the first place," said Karen.

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...
