The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1048

The first person Jeffrey truly admired was Everett, and the second, no doubt, was Kenneth!

Ironically, both of them were in love with the same woman!

This made Jeffrey all the more curious about Dorothy. What was so special about her that she could have two men so devoted to her for so many years?

“What does this have to do with Dorothy?”

“They said he called out the wrong name. His girlfriend got mad, stormed out, and didn’t see a car coming as he chased after her.”

“…”

Jeffrey chuckled a few times, “His girlfriend’s name is Eleanor, but her nickname is Dorothy! Are you going to tell me Kenneth isn’t pulling a classic Romeo move? Come on!”

You didn’t need to be a genius to figure that one out!

“I’ll keep an eye on things while you're away.”

“I’ll definitely watch out for you. You’ve done so much for Dorothy, I can’t let you lose everything!” Jeffrey said, half-joking, half-serious, but brotherhood was what mattered most to him. “Yesterday, his girlfriend caused a scene in the hospital, saying that every time Kenneth is with her, he calls out Dorothy’s name. Always Dorothy!”

Everett’s handsome face darkened instantly.

Which guy would like knowing his woman was coveted by another?

Especially in those moments, with him calling out Dorothy’s name, imagining it was her face!

“You need to get up and go to Kenneth now.”

“What?”

“Right now.”

Everett grew even more concerned with that command!

What if Dorothy decided to visit the hospital later? Wouldn’t that mean Jeffrey wouldn’t be there!

The thought alone nearly brought Jeffrey to tears, “Everett! Meeting you and Dorothy has been the biggest blessing of my life!”

Loyalty, man!

…

Everett saw her but didn’t react, continuing with what he was doing.

Quincy’s ability to prepare a controlling poison well in advance revealed she was far from simple or naive; she was cunning.

Her early planning and ability to keep it hidden showed skill.

So, convincing someone like her that he had lost interest in Dorothy wasn’t going to be easy.

The more he tried to show her, the falser it seemed.

Quincy noticed Everett too but restrained herself, waiting for his reaction.

Seeing that he appeared uninterested, she couldn't help but approach him first.

“Mr. Lopez, my condolences.”

Everett gave her a brief glance but continued to ignore her.

“Ms. Sanchez called me before about this matter. Were you aware, Mr. Lopez?”
