The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 153

In Jonathan's eyes, this was the biggest concession he had ever made.

He never thought his son would ever have such a "rebellious" phase. Even during his teenage years, his son never gave him any headaches.

But, all because of a girl named Dorothy, the entire Lopez family was now in an unprecedented predicament.

Everett didn't respond to his father. He simply told him that he needed to board his flight, then hung up.

On the way back, he was silent. His eyes were completely fixed on the window. The air around him felt heavy, and nobody knew what he was thinking.

…

As soon as the company's public notice was issued, the HR department contacted Dorothy directly.

"Ms. Sanchez, please come and process your resignation within three days."

"Your reason for firing me is that I betrayed the company, right?" Dorothy's tone was assertive, not at all like someone who was being fired for doing something wrong.

On the contrary, the HR staff seemed a bit taken aback by her counter-question.

"This is a decision made by the higher-ups."

She laughed. "Even if it's the chairman, there should be a clear reason for firing an employee. I signed a contract to work at the Prosperity Consortium. You can't just fire me on a whim."

"Ms. Sanchez, have you not seen the notice on the official website?"

"I have."

Dorothy had seen it, which was why she was confirming it with HR.

She needed to get definitive proof.

If the Lopez Corporation could simply tell her to pack her bags and leave based on an uninvestigated "result," then she could also seek justice in court.

"Since you've seen it, don't you know what you did? The company has already been very generous by not suing you for compensation."

This whole thing was quite ironic.

Dorothy knew that the entire Lopez Corporation was probably talking behind her back. Even those who didn’t say it directly were probably badmouthing her in their hearts.
