The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1191

Quincy's mention of compensation for Dorothy flew under everyone's radar.

But then, Dorothy actually got a call from her.

"What the hell do you want, Dorothy? Spill it all now and then stay the hell away from Mr. Lopez, forever!"

Quincy's tone was that of an elite socialite dealing with her husband's affair – authoritative and dismissive.

I'll give her that; she had more presence than Heather ever did.

No surprise there, considering she's a Caldwell. And it's clear why Jonathan Lopez fell for her.

"I want shares in the Lopez Corporation. Can you afford that?"

"And what right do you have to the Lopez Corporation's shares, Ms. Sanchez? Let me remind you, you're divorced from Mr. Lopez. You're an ex now. We're willing to give you a settlement, and you should be grateful for that."

The way she used "we" was rather telling.

Dorothy lounged on her couch, flipping through design drafts on her laptop, chuckling, "With an ex as wealthy as Everett, I'd be foolish not to ask for more! Dr. Quincy, you're after Everett's wealth too, aren't you? Is that why you clung to him, breaking us apart?"

"I am not the other woman! Mr. Lopez left you because you insisted on dragging him through court, even when his mother was on her deathbed! Don't pin that on me."

"Would that have happened without you stirring the pot?"

"I didn't! Mr. Lopez barely talks to me! I didn't have the chance!"

"Oh, is that so?" Dorothy mused, smacking her lips. "So, Everett doesn't even like you. You're the one throwing yourself at him."

Sensing Quincy was about to explode, Dorothy leisurely added, "Here's what we'll do. Draft a list of what you and Everett are willing to offer me. Then, I'll consider whether I'll agree."

After hanging up, Dorothy sighed deeply.
