The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1124

Karen's words hit Dorothy like a ton of bricks.

It was such a cliché.

The only reason she hadn't thought of it herself was because Everett's mother had indeed passed away during that time, and his mom had some deep-seated issues with Dorothy, which overshadowed everything else.

Seeing Dorothy silent, Karen pressed on, “Think about it, is there anything off about Everett? Are he and Quincy really an item?”

“All I know is that Everett kept meeting up with her. I've caught the scent of Quincy's perfume on him, and then… Quincy was called into his office alone.”

“You’re just too emotionally involved to see it clearly. Don’t you think all this is a bit suspicious?”

“Hmm…”

Dorothy was feeling a whirlwind of emotions.

But!

She was certain she didn't want Karen's words to be true.

Because if Karen's suspicions were correct, it meant Everett was suffering from a serious illness, the kind that couldn't be cured!

Dorothy didn't want Everett to die.

Even if it meant breaking up, even if he had fallen out of love with her, even if he had left her for someone else, she could accept that. Just not him being sick.

“I'll go and try to get more out of Jeffrey. That guy never spills anything, but the more tight-lipped he is, the more it proves he knows something!”

“Okay.” Dorothy nodded, “Could you… could you look into it for me?”

Karen instinctively reached out to hold her hand, only to realize Dorothy's hand was ice-cold.
