The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 883

It’s a quirk of Mr. Lopez that Kevin couldn't quite fathom, yet he knew better than to question it.

"Sure thing, Mr. Lopez."

Leaving the office, Kevin hopped into his car and headed straight for the used car lot.

As a seasoned executive assistant, he had a knack for picking up on Mr. Lopez’s subtleties—the emphasis was on "second-hand." The car couldn’t be too new, otherwise, Mr. Lopez would've just asked for a brand-spanking-new one. But it couldn't be a clunker either; Mr. Lopez was used to cruising in luxury and wouldn't settle for less.

"Hey there, can this baby be customized?" Kevin asked the used car dealer.

"Absolutely! What's your vision?" The dealer was literally laughing to his ears as he heard that. "As long as the price is right, we can make it happen!"

Kevin nodded, considering, "Fit it out like a Maybach on the inside, would you? And make it snappy. Money's no object."

The dealer was speechless,

If Kevin hadn't slapped down a 20-grand deposit on the spot, the dealer might have punched his face.

Dorothy arrived at the Eldorria City Courthouse precisely on time that afternoon. Stepping out of the cab, she spotted Ephraim and his legal team approaching.

"Ms. Sanchez, the day has finally come! Rest assured, we're pulling out all the stops."

She gave a small smile, "I trust you guys."

"We've gone over this case with a fine-tooth comb, and we've got a decent shot at a full victory. At the very least, Heather won't escape the harshest sentence. As the victim, you'll make a powerful statement in court, and we've also filed for civil damages—whatever happens, we're winning something."

After passing through security, they entered the courtroom together.

As Dorothy settled in, her gaze fixed on the "Defendant" placard across the room.

Mom, can you see this? I've finally made it here and brought them all to justice. She said to herself.

For a moment, her composure began to crumble, and a sourness pricked at her eyes.

But Dorothy didn't cry. She felt she should be happy!

Soon, the judge entered the courtroom with a solemn and dignified air.

Clearing his throat, he sat down and announced, "Bring in the defendant."
