Chapter 1309
Dorothy pondered for a moment, then nodded as if a lightbulb had gone off in her head.
"I'll get Jeffrey to round up some folks and head over right now! If we manage to secure the antidote and rescue my brother at the same time, wouldn't that solve everything?"
"Wait! I'm worried Lane might catch wind of it beforehand." There's bound to be guards around the antidote.
"I doubt it! How about this, let's have Jeffrey sneak over first."
"No!" Dorothy quickly interjected, guilt already gnawing at her from involving Kenneth. If Jeffrey went and something happened to him, she couldn't bear the thought. "Just send me the location." Karen immediately went on high alert, clutching her phone close.
"What are you planning?"
Dorothy sighed, speaking softly, "Karen, hear me out! Lane is doing all this because of me, so he wouldn't harm me no matter what! Even if I get caught, it's not the end of the world. If I can successfully retrieve the antidote, wouldn't that be a huge win?"
"... Your point makes sense, but Lane's not thinking straight anymore. I'm really worried he might lash out in frustration!"
"Don't worry, if I get caught, I'll figure something out." Dorothy reassured her, patting her shoulder. "Just send me the location."
"No way! Jeffrey and Everett are both out of the loop. If something goes wrong, who's going to save you?"
"If Lane kills me too, what was the point of all his efforts?" Dorothy felt more confident after meeting Lane. Despite his actions, Lane didn't seem deranged. Aside from Quincy's murder, Lane was still the same person in charge of East Star Enterprises, with his lazy yet sharp demeanor. He didn't seem like someone who'd lost his mind.
"That's not a risk I'm willing to take! Forget what Everett would do; my brother would have my head!"
Realizing she couldn't directly get the location from Karen, Dorothy resorted to a bit of cunning.
"How about this, just show it to me, and I won't go myself! I'll discusszit with Everett back at Bay Residence, we shouldn't waste Kenneth'sProperty © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
efforts. If we delay, I'm worried Lane might change locations."
Karen finally relented at that.
"Alright! But make sure you and Everett come up with a plan together. At least he'll ensure your safety first."
Dorothy nodded, deliberately avoiding eye contact with Karen.
To avoid arousing suspicion.
Once she received the location on her phone, Dorothy zoomed in. It wasn't far from the diner they had agreed to meet at today, which seemed just like Lane's style
BUMS
He must think the most dangerous places are the safest!
Hiding the antidote in a desolate area would indeed attract less attention.
"Now that I've got the location, I better head back and discuss this with Everett!" Dorothy announced, getting ready to leave.
"Do you want me to let Jeffrey know? He's with his daughter right now, and I haven't told him yet."
"No need!" Dorothy reflexively waved
her hand, then scrambled for an excuse, "Once Everett and I have a plan, if we need Jeffrey's help, Everett will call him! If he doesn't, it means we don't need him right now. He might have other plans.
"Alright, then. We'll be waiting for your update!"
