The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 517

His mother only felt disgust and contempt about her, not even a hint of guilt or remorse.

How could she convince herself to swallow this bitter pill?

The murderer could literally stand with an air of arrogance in front of the family of her victim as if she had done nothing wrong. It was as if she had never once reproached herself. Even the murder of Bella was no more significant than swatting a fly to her.

"That witch is truly despicable!" Karen understood Dorothy's predicament all too well, "But... she's sick, constantly in and out of the ER. She might kick the bucket before the law even touches her!"

Maybe it was worth the wait.

If she did pass away first, Dorothy and Everett wouldn't have to go head-to-head.

"Her death isn't the endgame. I want her to admit her guilt, to pay for her life!"

"But that’s a hard way to go."

It wasn't just like trying to twist an arm with a leg; it was like David fighting Goliath! One wrong move and you'd be squashed.

"Karen, what I fear most isn't the Lopez family coming after me, it's Everett's eyes."

Just the thought of Everett's face when he found out his mother was being accused of murder after the video from Byte 7 was restored made her heart wrench with pain.

"What's there to fear? If Everett sides with his mom, then he's not worth it! It's not like you're framing the Lopezes - the evidence is there! An eye for an eye, why should his mother get away with murder?"

Dorothy forced a smile, "I'd rather he blames me when he finds out."

"Huh?" Karen was perplexed.
