NovelOnlineHeaven knew how much Lane regretted sending Dorothy over here.
He knew all too well what kind of men lurked in the business world, and after adding Dorothy's attractive features to the mix, their eyes must have nearly popped out of their sockets.
"If they dare lay a finger on Ms. Sanchez, | swear I'll make Verity Holdings Limited pay big time!" After hanging up the phone, Lane immediately got in his car and headed for Verity Holdings Limited.
He didn't even bother to give them a heads-up. He wanted to catch them off guard. At this point, Lane wished he could shut down Verity Holdings Limited completely. If only he had the power.
Lane furrowed his thick eyebrows.
In this moment, he realized how much he fell short compared to Everett.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIf Everett were here, with his capabilities, shutting down Verity Holdings Limited would be a piece of cake.
The search for Dorothy was in full swing.
However, she was in a hotel room, sleeping in until almost noon.
The moment her consciousness returned, the splitting headache from the hangover and the soreness throughout her body hit her all at once. The pain was so intense that it felt like her temples were about to explode.
"Hiss..." She tried to push herself up with her hands, but her arms were trembling.
Dorothy felt puzzled.
She could understand why she had a hangover. Because she had a lot of drinks last night. But why was her body aching? It felt as if she had been in a physical fight.
When she finally regained some strength, Dorothy took a look at her unfamiliar surroundings.
This wasn't her hotel! Dorothy's heart sank. In that moment, she thought of all possible scenarios, especially when she noticed that she was dressed in different clothes.
They were completely different from the ones she wore last night.
KNOCK, KNOCK.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Dorothy quickly adjusted her clothes and, with wobbly legs, got off the bed to open the door.
"Hello, would you like your breakfast now?" It was a hotel staff member.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Where is this? How... how did | get in here?" The staff member smiled. "You were brought here by someone who claimed to be your friend." "A male?" "Yes." Dorothy clenched her fists. She dared not think further.
"Oh, yes, he asked us to send you breakfast and said that if you asked, he told us to tell you that he was the driver from Everglow City." "Everglow City... Driver?" "Yes." Dorothy blinked. She vaguely remembered that she had received a call from him. He also said he was coming to pick her up.
So, he was the one who brought her here? She quickly turned around to grab her phone to confirm this, only to find that it was dead.
"Excuse me, could | borrow a charger?" "Sure. Please wait." The staff member went to get a charger.
Dorothy finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that she was not harmed by anyone else.
Wait! But who changed her clothes? When the staff member came back, Dorothy asked, "The person who claimed to be my friend, was he alone? Were there any other women with him?" "l didn't see. Your friend is quite handsome, though." "Oh, thank you." Dorothy thought back to the driver's appearance.
Handsome? She could only say he was not ugly.
After her phone was charged and turned on, countless missed calls and text messages flooded in.
She didn't want to deal with that now; she just wanted to know what had happened last night!.So, Dorothy opened WhatsApp, found the driver's chat, and made a voice call.
