The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

He was out of options, so he let Dorothy take a stab at acting.

But in the plan, Everett had no intention of letting Dorothy actually meet Lane!

That guy was pretty much off his rocker these days, capable of anything really.

If he decided to harm Dorothy, well, nothing was off the table.

"I... he didn't do anything to me..." Dorothy, knowing she was in the wrong, lowered her voice.

"What about Kevin? You need to get in a cab and head back to Bay Residence now."

"Oh, Kevin? He's around, but he has no clue what I was up to!" Dorothy quickly took Kevin out of the equation, "I can't head back to Bay Residence just yet, I got a bit of a situation with Karen. I'll swing by her place and then I'll head back, okay?" Everett paused for a few seconds, "Karen needs you for something?"

"Yeah! Girl stuff, nothing to do with Lane. If you don't believe me, you can ask Jeffrey. I'm almost at his place!" Dorothy hurriedly added a laugh, slightly coquettish, "I've already met with Lane, so scolding me now won't change anything. Don't get mad at yourself! I'll explain everything once I get back!"

"I'm almost there, gotta go."

Dorothy wanted to cut the call before Everett could prod further, so she quickly ended the conversation.

Luckily, Kevin soon pulled up in front of Jeffrey's mansion.

Just as Dorothy got out of the car, her phone rang.

It was Karen calling.

She didn't pick up, instead, she pressed the doorbell!

Karen, opening the door and seeing Dorothy, was stunned for a few seconds before speaking, "Dorothy? What are you...?"

"Kenneth is in trouble! He went snooping around Lane, trying to find where he hid the antidote, and Lane caught him red-handed."

"I was just about to talk about that!" Karen looked equally anxious.

Dorothy was momentarily confused, "How did you know?"

She had only found out because Lane had taken the call right in front of her! Could it be... he also called Karen?

"My brother! got his covert signal on my phone, Karen pulled out her phone to show Dorothy the location, "Before he lost contact, he told me if he found the antidote, he'd activate this tracking system so I could get the signal!"

Dorothy took a look.

It was a location in the outskirts of Eldorria City, surrounded by nothing, a desolate area.

"My brother said he'd only turn this on if he found the antidote. So, he must have found it." Karen grabbed Dorothy's hand, "Let's not hesitate we need to get someone to this location! Once we get the antidote, this whole mess can be put to rest!"

"Hold on." Dorothy frowned, pursing her lips, "Lane must have moved the antidote by now! Since he caught your brother, he's definitely suspicious."

"Ah? What if he does something to my brother?" Karen's heart raced again!

"You're pregnant, try to stay calm! I'll

contact Lane. If things look bad..

I've decided to first rescue Kenneth,

figure out the rest later!"

Cot belongs to

This decision was no laughing matter.

Rescuing Kenneth would definitely raise Lane's suspicions!

But Dorothy had no other choice! She couldn't stand by and watch Kenneth get hurt or worse because of her, even if it was just an injury.
