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

Chapter 1067

"I disagree, there's no need to test me."

Staring at the disconnected call, Quincy was somewhat baffled.

Yet, at the stime, she felt her suspicions were increasingly justified! The more Everett sulked and scowled, the more Quincy

was convinced that something real was going wrong between him and Dorothy, not just a show put on for her benefit.

For now, all she had to do was sit back and watch.

If Dorothy beca lost cause, she'd need to make plans accordingly.

After Jonathan hung up the call with Ronin, he turned to look at his son, feeling more puzzled by the day.

"You... don't plan to marry Dorothy, you want to marry Quincy now?"

That call was made at Everett's behest, intended for his father to relay messages he couldn't say directly, playing the part

perfectly.

"No, Dorothy is the only one I'll marry."

"Then why did you—" Jonathan frowned, "I said | don't care about your dealings with Dorothy. If you want to marry her, go ahead.

But then you makecall, insisting on bringing Quincy into our family!"

"lI have my reasons."

Everett, feeling his point had been made, got up to leave.

Jonathan quickly stopped him. "Everett, what exactly is going on? At least givea clue! Your mother's passed, and it's been hard

on me. With all this guessing, | feel like I'm about to join her."

"It's nothing. | just need to get something from Quincy."

"She's using Dorothy to threaten you, and you want to break free from that?"

Jonathan, after all, understood his son and the Caldwell family's way of handling things.

"Yeah."

Everett nodded in acknowledgment.

Now that his wife was gone and couldn't make amends, it was up to Jonathan to do more.

"I have no right to hold a grudge. The one wronged isn't me."

As for whether Dorothy forgives or not, Everett never wanted to decide for her.

He left the house and as soon as he got into his car, Jeffrey called.

"Dude, don't you think you should consider another plan? | feel like... your plan might end up losing on all fronts."

Everett started the car engine, furrowing his brows, "Speak plainly."

"I'm betting Dorothy won't."

Everett's expression hardened, his gaze turning steely, "I think, you should take Karen on a trip abroad."

"Uh.

"All expenses paid by me."

Just hearing about it was unbearable for Everett. If this turned into reality, he couldn't imagine what he'd do.

Jeffrey sighed, "Chances are, Karen won't go."

Such an obvious attempt to remove her from the equation, she'd see right through it.

Sitting in the car, Everett was silent for a few seconds before speaking.

"Jeffrey, I'm not... as noble as | thought | was."

"I can't stand the thought of Dorothy in another man's arms, no matter who it is."
