The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1346

Forget about not being able to forget him. For Everett, it was a lifetime of gratitude.

Dorothy lowered her gaze, remaining silent. It was Karen, her own sister, who tried to comfort her, "Don't be so down, sis. In the grand scheme of things, death is something none of us can dodge! And Everett, he really took care of my brother’s funeral beautifully. He’s looking after our parents now, too. My brother left with no worries."

"He was too young."

It was a loss that anyone would feel deeply, especially since Kenneth had died for her.

How could Dorothy not feel the weight of that?

"Just think of it like my brother regretted not meeting you earlier in life. He's in a hurry for the next one, trying to get ahead of Everett!"

Karen always had a way of finding a lighter note in the darkest conversations, making them a bit more bearable.

Dorothy’s tears didn’t fall, but Kenneth had indeed become an eternal knot in her heart.

After wrapping up a meeting, Everett immediately reached for his phone to send a message to Dorothy on WhatsApp.

Kevin knocked on the door in a rush behind him, “Mr. Lopez.”

“Come in.”

Everett turned to face Kevin, phone in hand, “What’s up?”

“I just got a call. Lane tried to off himself in prison!”

Suicide?

Everett's eyes narrowed slightly, “Save him.”

“I’ve already sent someone. Lucky we found out early, he should survive.”

“He can’t die before he’s paid for his crimes.”
