The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 375

"After you were done, you tossed it into the trash, and someone could've picked it up the next day. It's a possibility!"

Everett didn't want to entertain that thought at all.

Seeing him just downing his drink, Jeffrey sighed, "Other than that, there's no other explanation! It takes two to tango, and they must've gotten a hold of your... you know. You swear that Dorothy was your only woman. The kid couldn't have just popped out of thin air, right?"

"Drink." Everett was already annoyed and didn't want to keep hearing him ramble on.

Jeffrey rolled his eyes, "Hold off on the drinking. Did your people find any lead on the kid?"

"Nothing. They're still searching."

"No news on my end either. Should we broaden the search? The kid might not be in Eldorria City anymore."

"I've already expanded the search." He was even more eager to find the child.

Then proceed with a paternity test. Everything would be clear then, no more guessing around.

Jeffrey glanced at the bottles of booze on the table, both amused and annoyed.

His severe OCD had him lining up the bottles neatly in a row. He had already chugged down seven or eight of them.

"Sure you don't want me to call over some ladies? Get your eyes on someone else!" He scrolled through several photos of gorgeous women on his phone.

But Everett didn't even glance up.

Jeffrey couldn't help but roll his eyes. "You're even harder to persuade than Lane! You're as stubborn as a mule."

When he mentioned Lane, Everett's hand noticeably stilled.

Jeffrey caught that immediately!

"Still bothered by someone pursuing Dorothy? Don't tell me you see Lane as a rival! He's just after your ex-wife, ex!"

"Shut up."

Knowing that Everett returned to Eldorria City, she didn't dare to show her face or make her presence known.

Currently, she had no idea how the situation would unfold, so she had to make sure that her deeds wouldn't be exposed.

"That's Everett's son! You wanted me to kill him? Why didn't you do it yourself? You're just thinking of using me as a scapegoat if things go south!" He wasn't a fool. What's the point of making money if he didn't live to spend it?

Heather rubbed her temples, "I don't have time to argue with you. Keep searching. I'll think of another plan!"

After hanging up, she hesitated for a long time before deciding to tell Amanda about the situation. The only person who could help her right now was Amanda.

"How did the kid go missing?"

"Amanda, I never intended to hold him captive. After all, he's Everett's son, and I didn't have the heart to keep a constant watch on him, so he escaped!"

"You're too soft! We, the Lopez family, don't recognize a child of unknown origin."
