The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 341

A kid couldn't have gone far.

Kevin nodded. "Alright."

...

Lopez Corporation, Legal Department.

It had been two days since Heather last saw Everett. For a workaholic like him, if he wasn’t at the office and had no business trips scheduled, what could he possibly be up to?

The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. She feared that Everett might be with another woman.

But after calling Everett multiple times, he never picked up. In the end, she had no choice but to find Jeffrey again.

Right now, the quickest way to find out Everett's whereabouts was through him.

After calling twice, Jeffrey finally picked up.

"Ms. Garcia, can you give it a rest? Does the Legal Department have nothing to do? I've got a ton of work on my plate!"

Nowadays, Jeffrey's attitude towards her was increasingly impatient.

"I just want to know where Everett is. Why isn't he at the company?"

"If you're looking for him for work, reach out through the company's channels. Why are you calling me?"

The Lopez Corporation had a company software, where communication and information reporting could be done.

Everett was hardly ever offline, and Heather, as the head of the Legal Department, had the privilege to message him directly.

"It's not about work."

"Absurd! You know that I was living with the Lopez family at the time. I was with Everett day and night; what's Dorothy compared to that?"

"That's still not a reason for you to frame her, is it?" Jeffrey hadn't forgotten that part yet.

Heather sneered. "I framed her? Think about it. If Everett hadn't been so protective of Dorothy, who would believe her? The fact that this matter has come this far is all because of Everett. There's nothing I can do."

Jeffrey laughed. "Then tell me the truth. Did you frame Dorothy?"

"No, I don't even consider her a threat."

Jeffrey was silent for a long while, then he sighed. "Honestly, I used to believe you. With your position, you really didn't need to consider Dorothy a threat. But now I don't, and that's the truth."

"Why?"

"Because I can see how important Dorothy is to Everett. You can't replace her, which gives you a motive to frame Dorothy."
