The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

Chapter 440

Everett hastily grabbed the photo and stood up, reaching for his phone to call his trusted associate, Kevin.

“Hey, I need you to check the surveillance footage for room 908 at the Dreamscape Hotel in Everglow City. There’s a little girl who looks a hell of a lot like Dorothy. Find out where she is.”

“Right away. Mr. Lopez!”

“Hold on…” Everett’s voice softened, almost a whisper, “Once you get the footage, send it straight to my email. I want to see it myself.”

He couldn’t bear the wait – not for Kevin’s investigation, nor for the child to be brought back to Eldonia City. He needed to see his daughter now!

“Got it, boss.”

After hanging up, Everett traced the photograph with the pads of his fingers, over and over again.
