The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1271

"...Did Lane and Quincy have some sort of beef? Man, he went all out."

"Forget about her! I don't want to remember," Jeffrey said casually as he took her hand, "Are you, you know, feeling any discomfort?"

Karen shook her head, "Nah, I'm good. Really good!"

Kenneth, who had been quiet, suddenly spoke up, asking Jeffrey, "Do you think Lane's got, like, some psychological issues?"

"Definitely! What sane person does something like that?"

"I think Lane's deal with Quincy isn't because he hates Quincy, but rather... he's projecting his hate for Everett onto Quincy." Kenneth, being a guy who had also chased Dorothy for years, could somewhat... understand where Lane was coming from.

It's not that he agreed with him, but...

If it weren't for having Karen, plus those four years he supported Dorothy, Everett probably wouldn't have let him stay in Eldorria City so peacefully.

Looking at what happened to Lane, he could imagine his own fate!

If he were to be disgracefully kicked out, as a man, he'd definitely harbor some resentment and grudges.

Even now, didn't he have some grudges against Everett?

He did.

But Kenneth could control it.

"That makes sense! Probably that's it," Jeffrey nodded.

After all, there wasn't a better explanation.

"You guys should head back, Karen still needs to rest up, let her take it easy," Kenneth waved them off, "I'm heading back too."

"Alright."

Jeffrey watched Kenneth's retreating figure, raising an eyebrow slightly.

"What's with Kenneth today? He seems... different."

Karen blinked, "Huh? Different how?"

"Can't put my finger on it, just different!" Jeffrey sighed, "Let's head back."

"Okay."
