Chapter 1315 Dorothy stood tall and unwavering, "I have no idea what you're talking about. What does he have to do with this?" "Oh, you'll understand soon enough!" With her phone shattered on the ground, Dorothy could only hope that Kevin would realize she was in trouble soon.
Lane indeed took Dorothy to the apartment building.
Walking in, the presence of surveillance cameras in every corner was unmistakable, and not a single apartment looked lived in; all were bare, echoing the emptiness of the place.
It felt eerie due to the lack of human presence.

"Is it because Kenneth told you there's skind of antidote here, and you just had to come?" "Does he have the freedom to just call you like that, to contact you whenever?" Dorothy tried to keep her composure and stall for time.
Lane paused at her question.
"How would I know how he contacts you?" "Exactly, because he didn't contact me." Dorothy slightly tilted her head to look at him, "You know, all this talk about killing people, it really makes it hard forto be around you. For all I know, I could be next on your list." "I heard your call, I guessed you would head straight here, so I followed, and here I am. But then you jump to conclusions, thinking Kenneth told me, even going as far as wanting to kill him." Dorothy forced a smile, "See how terrifying you've become?" Dorothy was gambling.
Gambling that Lane hadn't cdirectly here! Because she hadn't actually followed him; it was just a desperate move to divert attention away from Kenneth.
If she was right, then Kenneth would be safe for now.
After saying this, Dorothy's gaze locked onto Lane's face.
Judging by his expression, she felt she had won the bet.
"I'm terrifying because you pushedto this! It was you and Everett pushingtogether! Why couldn't you just acceptwhen I pursued you?" wne "Lane, be reasonable! I made myself clear when I rejected you. Just because you like me, does that mean I have to reciprocate?" If Dorothy had accepted his advances, enjoying the privileges et and protection he offered, only to reject him later, she'd be to blame.
But she didn't.
Once she knew Lane had feelings for her, she intentionally kept her distance, even avoiding private dinners.

Dorothy didn't immediately respond, instead, she silently observed him! After nearly a minute, she softly En spoke. "That's the difference between you and Everett; you don't understand love."
"Everett pursuedfor more than a day or two. We went through 'om countless trials to be together! But to you, it's all about weighing benefits, money, and power. en Lane hated this topic, his brow furrowing in displeasure.
