StarNovelTACT Chapter 445
Handing over the hard drive to Byte 7, Dorothy stepped out of the villa and was surprised to see
Everett still there!
He had been sitting at the front door, waiting for her all this time.
At the sound of her footsteps, Everett stood up
With his obsession for cleanliness, he had collected his few smoked cigarette butts and ashes,
planning to dispose of them in a trash
can.
“Did he help you?”
“Yeah.” Dorothy nodded, but it was clear she wasn’t in the mood to share details will Everett
Everett didn’t press further simply getting into his car.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDorothy noticed that Everett never insisted the sit in the passenger seat, which is why she could
tolerate his car ndes
If he had demanded from the start that she sit beside him, there wouldn’t have been a second time.
She would rather walk!
On the ride back, Dorothy bowed her head as she calculated the funds and assets she had lei
She didn’t fancy becoming that oddball’s girlfriend!
The car smoothly entered the underground parking of the Lopez Corporation. Just as Dorathy was
about to get out, her phone rang.
Glancing at it she saw it was Kenneth.
Assuming he was calling about the meeting with Byte 7, she didn’t answer immediately. Instead, she
quickened her pace, putting some distance between herself and Everett before ca ing back.
“Hey, Kenneth”
On the other end, the typically calm and gentle voice was replaced by one filled with urgency.
“Dorothy, I can’t reach Karen! She said she was taking Abigail out yesterday evening, and I didn’t think
much of it when she didn’t answer my calls this morning. But now there’s been no ward from her all

Dorothy froze, her heartbeat seemingly yanked up a notch.
“How come? I’m heading back now!”
“Okay, I’m driving to Karen’s place as we speak. Let’s keep in touch”
After hanging up, Durothy turned and dashed toward the parking garage exit.
Everett had just parked when he saw her panicked expression and sensed an emergency
“Dorothy!” With his long strides, he caught up to her in no time, “What happened?”
“Karen’s gone missing. I need to find her!”
Tm coming with you.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDorothy immediately refused, “No need, you’ve got your things to handle”
If Everett got involved, he’d learn about the child with Karen! It wasn’t clear yet if Karon had been
abducted or had simply forgotten to check her phone, so it was too risky to let Everett help.
Watching her race away. Everett also had a call from Kevin the next second.
“Mr. Lopez, Ms. Sanchez’s friend Karen has been kidnapped! And Abigail too, they’ve both been
taken.”
“Track their location immediately! Send me their last known whereabouts!”
Racing out of the garage, Dorothy hastily hailed a cab and got in.
Recent events had left her in a perpetual state of crisis!
As she neared Karen’s place, her phone buzzed with a text from an unknown number
if you want your daughter alive, come to me obediently and alone! Tell anyone, you ll be picking up her
corpse.]
Before Dorothy could react to the mespage, the cob dover suddenly turned his face toward her with a
sinister smirk, Ms. Sanchez, Id advise against any futile resistance“,
