The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

There she stood, her tone and demeanor screaming the wicked stepmother of Abigail and Langston.

Everett didn't argue, just listened quietly.

"I was thinking, actually, it's not totally unreasonable for Ms. Sanchez to want some financial security. Life's tough, and we all need money for the basics. The lawsuit must've drained her savings, and now with you two breaking up... You should really try to see it from her perspective."

"I'm willing to give her something, but she's asking for too much."

"What exactly does Ms. Sanchez want?" Quincy paused, probing gently, "If... if she's willing to take something and leave Eldorria City, I could chip in too, as a sort of compensation for Ms. Sanchez."

"You'd do that?"

Quincy nodded, her expression one of understanding and kindness.

"Without me in the picture, the Lopez family might have accepted her. She probably hates me, doesn't she? I figured it's better to clear the air, offer her some financial peace, and then we can all move on."

Her real aim was to get Dorothy to leave Eldorria City for good, to avoid any further complications.

What if...

Everett and Dorothy rekindled their old flame?

"Then you talk to Dorothy yourself, see if she's willing."

"You're okay with that?" Quincy was surprised.

"She's been interfering with my work. If you can sort this out, it'd be a big help."

Quincy immediately agreed, "Don't worry, I'll handle it! I'll make sure Ms. Sanchez is satisfied."

Everett's reaction to her enthusiasm remained lukewarm.

But for Quincy, this was progress! At least he wasn't giving her the cold shoulder anymore. "Anything else?"

Everett's way of showing her out hadn't changed.

Quincy knew his temperament well; insisting on staying would only irritate him.

"No, that's it! just wanted to check on you. Kevin said you were really sick, so I thought I'd bring over this new medicine I've been working on." After saying this, she stood up. If there's nothing else, you should rest. I'head out."

"Alright."

Quincy smiled, reaching for the door-

Only to be blocked by Dorothy.

"What are you doing here?!"

"

Quincy was stunned to find her here, speechless.

Dorothy beat her to speaking.

"Quincy, did you convince Everett to

cut me off financially? Wow, you two really are a piece of work.

hi

man and now you're manipulating to leave me high and dry!" en.swhovels.net

"I, I didn't." Quincy was taken aback by her outburst.

This side of Dorothy was completely foreign to her.

Even beyond her wildest imaginations.

Dorothy, hands on her hips, had Karen's confrontational stance on her mind.

Turns out, having Karen as a role model came in handy at a time like this. Otherwise, Dorothy wouldn't even know how to start a fight.

"Cut the act. I want the commercial

building and the money, and not a penny less! I did give Everett a child, after all. I deserve to be considered part of the Lopez family! Everett, I want a share of your company!"

Everett remained silent, but Quincy was frantic.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

"Mr. Lopez is sick, can't you show some compassion? Let's talk about this after he's recovered!"

"Sick? Looks more like he's faking it to me. Just doesn't want to part with his money!"
