The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1327

Just as expected.

The moment the Nelsons laid eyes on Dorothy, the tirade began.

But it was Kenneth's mother, Sienna, who led the charge!

"It's all because of you! You witch, you curse! How could my son have been so blind to fall for you! You've taken him from us, so young, so soon!"

"Kenneth! If you can hear me, take this woman with you! Take her to be with you!"

Everett had been frowning through the accusations, managing to hold his tongue.

But Sienna's last remark was too much for him.

He was about to step forward when Dorothy quickly grabbed his wrist, shaking her head gently.

"She's crossed the line."

"Everett, nothing she says right now is too much."

Worried he might actually start a conflict at the funeral, Dorothy gently caressed his hand, "Put yourself in their shoes, imagine their grief! You don’t need to come with me, just wait here."

"No." Everett's gaze hardened, "They're not thinking straight."

"I told you! Whatever they do or say right now, it's not too much." Dorothy's voice was weak, still recovering from the ordeal, lacking its usual strength, "Please, just do this for me, will you?"

"..."

"Everett?"

He stood frozen, eventually conceding, "Come back soon."

"I will."

Leaving the comforting warmth of Everett’s palm, Dorothy slowly approached Sienna.

The Nelsons, having benefited from Everett's generosity, naturally felt inclined to defend Dorothy.
