Chapter 1286
The drama kicked off with a hearse from the local funeral home rolling into the hospital...
As soon as the press caught wind of it, they swarmed the hospital like bees to honey!
"Is Mr. Everett Lopez really dead?"
"Why has a funeral home vehicle arrived? Who are they here for?"
"Why is Lopez Corporation keeping everything under wraps?"
The executives at Lopez Corporation remained tight-lipped, refusing to answer any questions, and barred the media from entering the hospital.
The news channels were abuzz with speculations about the CEO of Lopez Corporation, airing the story repeatedly.
It seemed they were determined to make sure everyone in Eldorria City, if not the entire country, knew something major was going down at Lopez Corporation. Especially when Dorothy appeared at the hospital entrance clad in black, the media pounced on her like vultures -
"Please, just answer our questions!"
"Can you give us something?"
"What's really happening to the CEO of Lopez Corporation?"
Some of the male reporters even shouted, "Is Everett dead?"
"We all saw the hearse!"
"Right! We've been camped out here for ages, someone owes us some answers!"
The crowd was getting restless, ready to barge in.
Watching this unfold on TV, Lane couldn't help but smirk.
"Everett, dead."Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
Kenneth, glued to the screen, simply nodded in agreement.
Before Lane could continue, Dorothy appeared on TV, walking out of the hospital holding a child's hand. Despite her sunglasses, it was evident she had been cryingo
Lane immediately stood up from his chair!

"See, I told you he was dead! Dorothy's in tears, it must be true!"
As he finished speaking, Kenneth suddenly said, "Good, then I'm leaving."
"Leaving?" Lane was taken aback. "And go where?"
"I came to see if Everett was truly dead. Now that he is, my wish is fulfilled."
Kenneth got up to leave, but Lane quickly grabbed him.
"Now that you know where I am, you think you can just leave?"
"Don't worry, my only issue was with Everett, not you. I won't tell anyone about you."
"That's not good enough!" Lane was firm, but seeing Kenneth's furrowed brow, he tried to soften his tone, "Listen, with Everett and Quincy gone, it's chaos out there. After
spending these past few der net
together, I think we're on the same side. Don't make this difficult for me."
"You don't have to worry about me talking."
"How can I not worry?"
This was a matter of life and death!
Just the situation with Quincy alone could be enough to seal his fate.
"What do you want then?" Kenneth's tone was always steady, showing little emotion.
"Nothing much, just wait until this storm blows over, then you can leave!" Lane slapped his shoulder, "As long as you don't compete with me for Dorothy, I won't make things hard for you."
"...I don't see any point in staying, you're always on guard, thinking I'm after Dorothy." "Can you honestly say you don't have the slightest feelings for Dorothy?"
