The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 228

"Dorothy! I knew I'd find you here." Suddenly, Heather's voice echoed in her ears.

Dorothy retracted her hand and looked up at her. "What is it?"

"Don't tell me you've forgotten our agreement. You promised me you'd divorce Everett, and now, not only is he planning your wedding, but you've also agreed to it?" Heather's anger was tangible as she recalled the message Jeffrey had sent.

She had given everything to Everett and got nothing in return. Now, despite Dorothy's situation, Everett insisted on leaving the hospital to plan their wedding.

"This is his request. Without it, he won't sign the divorce papers. What should I do? Take him to court?"

"Don't get too smug!"

"Smug about what?" Dorothy didn't look at her; instead, she gazed upon the mother and daughter walking further away. "You were capable of causing my mother's death, leaving me with nothing. I'm terrified of you."

Heather caught on to the undertone of her words and crossed her arms. "I didn't kill your mother. She died from her illness. How is that my fault?"

Predicting her denial, Dorothy could only manage a sarcastic smile. "Everett said we'd head to city hall after the wedding. Until then, I don't want to see you. And don't you dare harm anyone close to me. After all, I've got nothing left to lose."

Having nothing to lose, in a way, was powerful.

Heather raised an eyebrow as her gaze suddenly fell on Dorothy's abdomen. "Don't worry; I don't want to see you either! There's one last thing. Jeffrey said you can't have children anymore. Is that true?"
