He had become a fugitive, wanted for murder.
Dorothy couldn't hide her dismay.
"Lane, do you regret killing Quincy?"
Caught off guard by the question, Lane paused for a moment, his thin lips twitching, "No regrets! Only by killing her could Everett be brought down!"
"Just because Everett bought out your company, you'd rather bear the weight of a life on your conscience, just to see him dead?" Dorothy's gaze fixed on him, compelling Lane to meet her eyes, "I don't get it, I really can't understand."
In the business world, being bought out by another company is nothing unusual!
If other companies can be acquired, why couldn't East Star Enterprises?Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
With the Lopez Corporation shining so bright, they could buy out any company they wanted.
Does that mean every CEO should go after Everett with a vengeance?
Lane took a sip of the coffee he had ordered earlier, "Do you really not know why Everett bought out East Star Enterprises? He was trying to force you back to the Lopez Corporation!"
"Yes, Everett did have that intention." Dorothy wasn't naive; she understood the underlying reason why Everett went to such lengths to acquire East Star Enterprises. But still... "At the end of the day, it was all about me! You could have just handed me over, and all of this could have been avoided."

Lane raised a hand to rub his temple. Because of the cap he wore, Dorothy couldn't see his expression as he looked down.
"Dorothy, I hate it when someone so
blatantly steps on me! I'm a man have my pride! Besides... I actually thought Heather, that wench, genuinely wanted to collaborate!"
He truly believed that if his plan with Heather had succeeded, she would have gotten Everett, and he could continue pursuing the single Dorothy.

That was the only thing she could say to Lane now.
"Turn myself in?" He laughed, a low chuckle that seemed to shake his chest, "Now that I'm as good as dead, you're suggesting I turn myself in, without considering the O consequences for yourself?"
"Dorothy, you have no idea what I've been through since leaving Eldorria City! I've never suffered suchS indignity in my life! So, I swore had to have you, even if it meant taking this final step!" en FindNovel
"Indignity?"
"Yes, indignity!" Lane slammed his coffee cup down, "I want to see Everett unable to rest in peace! The woman he schemed so hard to have is now going to be mine!"
