The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 279

"Heh." Jeffrey chuckled softly. "You really are as tough as nails. No wonder Everett was so taken with you."

Dorothy frowned. "What are you getting at?"

Jeffrey shrugged. "I didn't expect to see you again after all these years, so I just thought we could catch up. There's no hidden agenda. You don't need to be so defensive; I'm not like the others."

"I don't have anything to chit-chat about with you." Dorothy was ready to make her exit.

Jeffrey stepped in front of her to block her path. "I thought you might want to ask me about Everett, like who he's marrying."

He didn't believe for a second that Dorothy wasn't curious.

"Do I need to know?" Dorothy asked.

Who else would Everett marry other than Heather? The Lopez family wouldn't have it any other way.

After seeing her indifferent expression, Jeffrey felt extremely annoyed. He pulled out his phone and dialed Everett's number.

Everett never used to pick up so quickly, probably because he always assumed Jeffrey was up to no good. This time, however, he answered after only two rings.

Dorothy's fingers were clenched tightly. It was as if a sharp thorn had pierced her heart.

"Hello? What is it?"

Ignoring Everett's question, Jeffrey put the call on speaker and turned to Dorothy.

"Well, still got nothing to say? Why don't you ask him yourself who the bride-to-be is?"

Dorothy fell silent.

"Everett, guess who's standing in front of me right now?" Jeffrey teasingly raised an eyebrow at Dorothy.
