The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 762

"Alright, keep that balance in your mindset, and trust us at West Legal Services. We'll go all out for you."

"Much appreciated."

Dorothy stood up and gave Ephraim a very formal nod. "I'm truly grateful that West Legal Services is willing to take on this case without fearing the backlash from the Lopez Corporation. Of course, I have absolute trust in you."

"No need to thank me! Going the extra mile for our clients is what we're all about."

Ephraim could hardly stand the formality, feeling a chill run down his spine!

After Dorothy left, Ephraim's assistant sidled up, whispering, "Boss, are we really taking on this case? You do realize this involves the Lopez Corporation..."

With a glance, Ephraim replied, "If nobody had given the green light, I wouldn't dare touch it."

"In Eldorria City, who would be bold enough to back you against the Lopez Corporation?" The assistant was all ears, "Can you let me in on it?"

"Curious?"

"Yeah!"

Ephraim flicked him on the forehead, "Idiot! If you know that nobody in Eldorria City would dare cross the Lopez Corporation, then you should be able to guess who's pulling strings behind the scenes."

Rubbing his sore head, the assistant grumbled, "So, who is it? It can't possibly be someone from the Lopez Corporation themselves, backing Ms. Sanchez to sue their own company, can it? Are they testing their legal department or what?"

"Looks like you're destined to be an assistant a while longer. I've got to head to court."

...

After leaving West Legal Services, Dorothy went straight to the supermarket to pick up some veggies and fruits before heading back to her apartment.

She opened it to see Karen fresh out of the shower, her hair still dripping wet.

[She said her hands were wet and it's hard to use the phone. Plus, she's carrying my child, what could I possibly do? You got something to worry about?]

After thinking it over, Dorothy figured it made sense.

The couple was probably enjoying their honeymoon phase, making up after a spat. It was normal for them not to reply right away. Besides, it wasn't like she and Karen were constantly in touch, only messaging when needed.

[Just take good care of her! And remind Karen to call Kenneth. He's pretty upset and needs some smoothing over.]

The reply that came back seemed to be from Karen herself, given the way it started with Dorothy's name.

[Dorothy, got it! I'm a bit scared Kenneth will chew me out. Better let him cool down before tackling it head-on! Don't worry about me. I'm doing great here with Jeffrey. He's treating me well.]
