The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

The crowd around them was swelling, but Everett didn't seem to care one bit.

He was grinding his teeth, taking deliberate steps towards Maxton.

That menacing look in his eyes genuinely frightened Maxton! Just moments ago, he was shouting at the top of his lungs, but suddenly, he was on his knees, begging, "Please, don't hit me. I don't want to die! Ever since my daughter died because of Dorothy, her mom disappeared, and now, I've got no home left. I can't afford to lose my life too!""

"I've got nothing left! My daughter's gone, and it's all your fault, all because of Dorothy!"

That plea caught the attention of the bystanders, who began to speak up for Maxton.

"How can you hit someone so down on their luck?"

"Yeah! His daughter's been killed, what's going on here?"

The crowd made it impossible for Everett to pull Maxton away.

When he reached out a second time, Dorothy suddenly wrapped her arms around him from behind.

"Everett! I've called the cops, let them handle this. Don't dirty your hands."

Hearing her voice, the fierceness in Everett's eyes softened.

"He won't learn his lesson without a proper scare."

"But that lesson shouldn't come from you!" she said, pulling out a wet wipe to gently clean Everett's hands. "He's so filthy, I don't even want to get near him, and yet you touched him! Have you lost your sense of cleanliness?" "...He insulted you."

"Because he's a disgusting person! What else would you expect him to say?" Dorothy looked up at him with a gentle smile, "Why bother with a guy who abandoned his family, cheated with another woman, and even had a child with his mistress?" Hearing the term "disgusting man" from Dorothy made Everett finally crack a smile.

"He didn't hurt you, did he?"

"Not at all! He didn't even get the chance! You got here just in time, honey."

Everett paused, "Hmm?"

Dorothy took his hand, pulling him away from thinking about Maxton any longer, "I'm praising you, my newly appointed husband."

"Shouldn't you say something back to me?" Why are you just standing there looking silly!

Everett's lips twitched slightly.

Suddenly calling someone "wife" was indeed a bit hard for him.

The security staff were the first to subdue Maxton, and when the police arrived, they took him away.

Since he was the one who tried to hit Dorothy first, Everett's actions were deemed self-defense.

Fortunately, aside from that one

punch, Everett hadn't laid another e

hand on him, so Maxton had no

choice

sw nove

but to accept no

Of course, handing over the matter to Kevin was the right move, as he knew exactly what to do.

Stepping out of the police station, Kevin saw a text from Mr. Thompson.

"Make sure Maxton doesn't show his face around here again, you know what to do." "Understood!"

Putting away his phone, Kevin buckled up and sighed.

He couldn't believe the audacity of those who thought they could mess with Dorothy!

It's like they had a death wish.

"Sigh."

He started the car, calling his girlfriend.

"Remember, if you ever get the

chance to meet Mr. Thompson or Ms. Coleman, you'd rather cross Mr. Thompson than upset Ms. Coleman!"

"Huh? Why's that?"

"You have no idea. Everyone who's ever wronged Ms. Coleman, or even tried to ended up in a bad way wo of them got the death penalty, what does that tell you?"

His girlfriend was too shocked to speak.

Kevin quickly added with a laugh, "But our Ms. Coleman is a wonderful person, you've got nothing to worry about."
