The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 150

"I've been into her for over a decade now."

Jeffrey was caught off guard by this sudden news. He truly had no idea how to respond.

Everett didn't bother to explain further. He just drove away from the hospital.

Jeffrey, left behind, could only sigh with his mouth agape.

Love sure was a tough nut to crack.

...

Karen's house.

Dorothy was being yammered by her, but she didn't retain a word.

Her mind was a mess, leaving her feeling restless and agitated.

"Are you even listening to me?" Karen nudged her with an elbow.

Dorothy snapped back. "Huh? Yeah, I was..."

"Actually, this issue has already stirred quite a debate at the office. I think you shouldn't miss this wave of attention. Otherwise, for us small fries, it won't be easy to topple Heather, the big cheese. If it were me, I'd just throw all the evidence online. While it might not prove anything directly, it could at least sow some confusion."

"No way. Heather's a lawyer; she's an expert at exploiting loopholes to hit back at people."

In this regard, Dorothy had to admit that she was at a disadvantage.

Competing with a lawyer on this front was a losing battle.

"So, we just wait for the company's investigation to end?" Karen wasn't mistrusting the company, but she knew whoever made the decision would prioritize preserving Heather, the chief lawyer.

Who would care about Dorothy's grievance, then?

"Let's wait," she furrowed her brows, "someone said he would clear my name."

"Who?"

"I'm beat. I'm off to wash up and hit the sack."

Dorothy didn't answer. She just got up and headed for the bathroom.

After placing herself in his shoes, she realized that, as the CEO of the corporation, treating her and Heather equally was already a tall order.

While she was engrossed in her phone, Karen suddenly knocked on her door.

The knocking startled her.

"Are you asleep yet?"

"Not yet." Dorothy got up, adjusted her sleepwear, and opened the door. "What's up?"

"You gotta check out the company website. The chairman of the Lopez Corporation is also paying attention to your issue with Heather, and he's even made a response."

The chairman of the Lopez Corporation?

That was Everett's father.

Dorothy quickly turned her computer on. As soon as she opened the official website, she saw a glaring announcement.

"Recently, the Lopez Corporation was involved in the leakage of core technical blueprint of a cooperating company, which has severely tarnished our company's image. The board of directors takes this matter very seriously. After investigation, we have confirmed that this misconduct was caused by our employee, Dorothy. We have decided to terminate her employment and reserve the right to prosecute."
