The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 978

Everett could hear the quiver in her voice, but he dismissed it as an act.

"I've already assigned you a bodyguard."

"Yes, but today I thought I'd come to see you, and I didn't let them follow!" Quincy tried to back away, but she quickly realized she had no escape route.

One of the men stepped forward, a sneer playing on his lips, as he grabbed Quincy's wrist, "Who are you trying to call for help, huh? Your brother sent us to pick you up. Come with us."

"Let go of me! Let me go!"

Out of the corner of her eye, Quincy saw her phone was still on the call. Everett hadn't hung up. She immediately shouted into the phone, "Everett! If something happens to me, Dorothy won't last more than two months!"

In the next moment, her phone was snatched away and violently smashed to the ground.

Instantly, the phone was reduced to scattered pieces.

"What are you afraid of? Didn't I tell you it was your own brother who sent us?"

...

Quincy was forcibly dragged into a van, gagged, and had a black bag thrown over her head.

"Mmm! Mmm!"

No matter how much she struggled, she was no match for the two burly men.

Simeon waved his hand dismissively, "Of course I haven't forgotten! If it wasn't for that, I wouldn't have 'invited' you here today."

Quincy didn't know what her brother was up to, but she knew it wasn't good.

Her brother, though they shared the same parents, wasn't someone she was close to. His lazy and gluttonous ways repelled her. Being the only male heir to their family, Simeon was spoiled rotten by their mother. He followed in the footsteps of other spoiled rich kids, hanging out with the wrong crowd, chasing women, street racing, smoking, drinking, and gambling, never doing anything worthwhile.

"I heard from dad that you want to cut ties with us?" Simeon raised an eyebrow, scoffing, "Do you really think marrying into the Lopez family will turn you into a phoenix rising from the ashes? Without us, would Everett marry you? Sister, don’t you know how to be grateful?"

"Grateful? You use me as a tool, and I should thank you?"

"Shouldn't you?" Simeon looked genuinely incredulous, "Quincy, Dad is willing to extend an olive branch, to seek reconciliation is to give you face, considering the father-daughter relationship! I suggested to him long ago, just get some leverage on you, and there’s no need to negotiate!"
