The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 357

Kenneth hesitated for a moment, but understanding Dorothy's predicament, he agreed.

"Alright then. I'll use my driver's license to get you a room, then I'll go crash at a buddy's place. This way, there will be no trace of you."

"Okay, thank you, Kenneth."

"Don't mention it. I don't want to hear about it."

After hanging up, Dorothy stared at her phone, feeling a heavy weight in her heart.

She should've set boundaries with Kenneth the moment she decided not to accept his proposal. But now she still needed his help.

Sometimes, Dorothy felt guilty. She could not ignore the reproach of her conscience.

Wasn’t she just leading him on?

After Everett and Jeffrey met, Jeffrey had already scoured all potential surveillance cameras in the vicinity.

However, the person who took the child seemed to be prepared. He was fully equipped when he came to the hotel and purposely avoided the surveillance cameras when leaving with the child.

As a result, they ended up with nothing.

"Everett, do you think it's possible that this person is trying to use the child to blackmail you?" Jeffrey asked.

Everett looked at Jeffrey with his brows furrowed.

"No one has contacted me for now."

"Maybe it's not time yet."

"What's your definition of 'the right time'?" Everett shot back. "If the child is as tall as you say, he must be about five or six years old. During that time, I hadn't divorced Dorothy yet. So, is the child Dorothy's?"

Jeffrey shook his head with certainty.

"No, it's not hers!" She had a daughter, not a son, so it wasn’t her child.
