The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 931

"It's not that bad yet! Don't jump to conclusions." Everett was skeptical, refusing to believe that a mere poisoning left them with no options. "Think hard about what you've eaten or used recently!"

Dorothy furrowed her brows, racking her brain.

"The only people I've been in close contact with are Karen, Jeffrey, you... and Dr. Quincy."

"Quincy? When did you meet her?"

"That day... Jeffrey took me to the hospital after I hurt you, and that's when I saw her." The words Quincy had spoken to her were still vivid in Dorothy's memory.

She had expressed her reluctance to marry Everett due to their families' unison. Yet, if she refused to drop her lawsuit, she'd be forced to agree. She had resigned herself to eventually marrying Everett.

"Did Quincy give you anything to eat or drink?"

"She handed me a bottle of water!"

Everett's brow furrowed instantly, "Did you drink it?"

Dorothy nodded, "Yeah, I was feeling a bit overwhelmed. I had just seen you in the hospital, and then I ran into her. She later took me to a lounge."

Everett didn't respond but stood up immediately.

Dorothy knew what he intended to do and quickly grabbed Everett's arm, "It couldn't have been Dr. Quincy! She's too pure and kind-hearted. If it weren't for her, you might not have survived that severe injury from Heather." She feared that confronting Quincy could hurt her feelings.

"If she's innocent, she won't take it the wrong way."

"It can't be her!"

Everett patted her hand gently. "I'll just ask, I promise to be subtle."

Dorothy sighed, resigned. "She has no motive to harm me! Dr. Quincy herself said she didn't want to marry you."

"Quincy’s family recently needed a substantial amount of money to cover some debts, an amount they couldn't possibly gather on their own. But suddenly, my father volunteered to provide her family with the money! I suspect there was a deal between them."
