The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1322

Before anyone else could react, Kenneth quickly stepped forward, gave Everett a hard shove, then turned and made his way to the top floor—

He didn't even...

Glance back at Dorothy one last time!

Because Kenneth was afraid he wouldn't be able to leave if he did.

Caught off guard, Everett stumbled a few steps and crashed hard against the wall, but he ignored the pain, immediately getting up to chase after Kenneth.

If he died in his place, Dorothy would live with guilt for the rest of her life, and he would owe Kenneth forever!

He didn't want to owe that man anything!

"Everett!"

Dorothy cried out instinctively.

She too ran after Everett, but unfortunately... they both missed the direct elevator to the rooftop!

At that moment, with no time to spare for second thoughts, Everett immediately took to the stairs, chasing upwards—

He didn't even look up, so he had no idea how many floors he had climbed when suddenly, a gunshot rang out from the rooftop!

It was so piercing.

As if it hit Everett right in the heart!

His steps halted, his entire body feeling as if it had been drenched in ice-cold water, completely frozen.

"Kenneth!"

That was Dorothy's shriek!

She wasn't as fast as Everett, so she was two flights of stairs below.

Everett had never felt such shock before, even forgetting how to react!

Until he heard Kevin's voice from downstairs, "Ms. Johnson, Ms. Johnson, wake up, please! Don't scare me!"

"Mr. Thompson! You need to come back, Ms. Johnson has fainted!"

...

Dorothy felt like she had been in a long dream.

She dreamt she was poisoned by Quincy, dreamt Lane killed Quincy, dreamt Everett arrived just in time to save her, and then...

Then Kenneth!
