Lane's expression was downright sour.
Having leverage over someone meant he could easily manipulate or threaten them, and frankly, he couldn't care
less about their fate. But when it cto Dorothy...
He couldn't actually let her cto harm!
This woman was utterly spoiled and arrogant, and unfortunately for him, he just couldn't seem to handle her.
"So, you're saying | can only touch you if you're willing?"
"That's right." Dorothy nodded.
"And if you decide you're never going to be willing="
She cut him off gently, "Then you better start thinking about what you've done to makespend my life with
you but still refuse you!"
"My only request is this. If you're willing, get in touch with me. If not... well, the antidote I've temporarily
provided will last at most another month. | won't cto you again." Lane was about to say something when his
phone suddenly rang!
He glanced down, and his handsface instantly tightened with concern.
Dorothy, sharp as ever, noticed something was off. She tried to peek at the caller ID, but alas, the angle didn't

After hanging up, Lane stood up abruptly.
Dorothy's heart leaped to her throat!
"Lane, what are you going to do?"
"Nothing much. I've got your point today. I'll think it over and contact you," he said, clearly in a rush to leave
after the call.
But as Lane reached the doorway, he suddenly paused and turned to look at Dorothy.
"Kenneth Nelson, you know him, right?"
"... Yes, | know him." Dorothy knew denying it would be futile.
"Did he get close tojust to steal the antidote for you?" Lane didn't leave but instead walked back. towards
Dorothy, slightly lowering his head to meet her gaze, "Did you send him?" en
Dorothy felt her heart sinking.
Listening to Lane's tone on the phone, she had suspected he was talking about Kenneth, and now this question
all but confirmed Kenneth had been caught trying to steal the antidote! But she had to remain calm and
detached, to distance herself from Kenneth!
Otherwise, given Lane's current petty mindset, there was no telling what he might do.
"Me, send him?" Dorothy laughed it off, "What's my relationship with him that he would take such a risk for me?"
"What relationship? Kenneth likes
you, don't pretend you don't know" Lane pressed, his gaze becoming more intense, not willing to miss even the
slightest change in
Dorothy's expressions.

he does, doesn't mean he's willing to
