The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 574

Dorothy flinched, ducking away from his imposing figure, "You know, Mr. Lopez, you've been throwing around 'can't' and 'don't' a lot lately!"

Everything seemed to be off-limits now!

He was setting rules at every turn and she didn't remember him being this domineering before.

"It's because you've been flirting left and right," he accused.

"I have not!" she retorted without missing a beat.

Everett raised an eyebrow. "Then what about Kenneth?" he asked.

Silence.

"And what about Lane?"

More silence.

"While we're on the subject, I still need to settle the score with him."

Simply tearing down The Prosperity Consortium wasn't nearly enough.

Dorothy glanced at him, neither pleading for Lane nor intending to.

If you did the crime, you'd do the time!

Lane put Abigail in danger, so how could Everett, her father, let it slide?

"Have you decided when you're going back to pick up the kids?" Dorothy didn't have a shred of sympathy for Lane, but Kenneth was a different story.

She hadn't even broached the subject of taking the kids away with Kenneth, mainly because she had no idea how to bring it up.

It was just too cruel.

"How about next week?" Everett didn't give her a chance to back out. The sooner he picked up the kids, the better for him. He was eager to see his kids.

No man could stand having his kids cared for by a rival.

"Your health..."

"I'm fine." If he didn't get his children back soon, that would be the least of his worries.
