SWNOVELS Chapter 1293
But it didn't take long before he answered his own question, "Makes sense, Everett's gone and you're struggling to deal with it."
"Why did you call me?" Dorothy sniffled deliberately, "It's because you got Quincy killed, that led to Everett's..."
"His death was his own doing! Getting involved with a woman like Quincy wasn't my doing."
"Lane, aren't you scared I'll call the cops on you? You're a fugitive now!"
Lane chuckled, his voice as carefree as ever.
"I'm not scared! Everyone else might go to the police, but not you, you can't."
Pretending to be clueless, Dorothy asked, "Why not?"
"Because-though Quincy is gone, that doesn't mean there's no antidote left in the world!"
"But if I die or get caught, then you're definitely going down with me."
"You, you have the antidote? Then why not bring it out!" Dorothy, hearing this, felt a sudden relief.
There's an antidote!
Knowing this, it felt like their efforts hadn't been in vain!
"Bring it out, then what? Save Everett? Dorothy, you're thinking too big. I wish Everett would drop dead this instant; why would I save him?" Lane's voice darkened at the mention of Everett, "All of this, having to sneak around, isn't it all because of him, Everett?!" "He just wanted me to work at the Lopez Corporation, it wasn't aimed at you!"
"But in the end, wasn't East Star Enterprises taken over, and I was driven out of Eldorria City like a stray dog?" Lane shouted, "Even now, after he's dead, you're still speaking for him! Dorothy, you better understand what you're doing!"
Dorothy realized she shouldn't have gone down that path.
She was habitually defending Everett, trying to explain for him.
After a few seconds to calm down, Dorothy clenched her fist before asking, "You say you have the antidote, what do you want?"
"What I want, can't you guess?"
"I can't."
Lane chuckled, "I want you, Dorothy!

"Cut the crap! pursued you earnestly before, were you ever moved? Did you ever even give me a chance?" Lane was fuming, "The only woman I've chased for so tong and never got, is you! If I give you the antidote now, you'll just walk away,

Because he was right.
cops on me!"
But facing him now, she had to keep up the act, "I don't like being threatened!"
"So, you want to die? I know, after Everett's death, you've been sick because of the poison, right?" Sick?
Dorothy didn't recall playing that part recently!
She blurted out, "How did you know?"
"Your bestie told me, what's her name... Karen." Karen?!
"How did you two get in touch?!"
