The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 948

After saying all that, Quincy finally looked up at him.

"Mr. Lopez, you're out of options."

She had a grip on Dorothy, like she had found Everett's Achilles' heel!

"If you want a patron, I can find one for you. Just let Dorothy go."

"Don't you get it? I won't let her go. This is my only chance to turn the tables and be my own boss!" For the first time, Quincy's face showed something other than gentle grace. She smirked, her emotions teetering on the edge of hysteria, "Mr. Lopez, when it comes down to it, you all forced my hand! Haven't I begged you? Haven't I pleaded with Ms. Sanchez? I've worked tirelessly to treat your condition, to operate on you, all in the hopes that you could help me out of this arranged marriage! And you? Oh, right, you said you were a germophobe!"

She still remembered Everett's expression, as if she was some sort of contaminant that couldn't touch him!

"I've tried reasoning with you, then went and earnestly persuaded Ms. Sanchez! But it's the same with all of you! Nobody cares about my situation! I once thought that, as a fellow woman, she could at least understand my feelings a bit. I just don't want to be used as a tool, married off to a man I feel nothing for! What's wrong with that?"

The moment she realized her parents preferred sons over daughters, she had made efforts to distance herself from her family. She had immersed herself in her work for years, spending all her time in the lab, avoiding going home even during holidays, all to escape an arranged marriage.

And yet—

And yet, because she operated on Everett, she found herself targeted by Jonathan Lopez, forced into marrying Everett!
