"You can't control me!"
"Did you kiss him?" Jeffrey's gaze fell on her lips, "Or did you sleep with him?"
Karen wasn't about to back down. She clenched her teeth in defiance.
"Yeah, we slept together! His little friend is bigger than you, more skilled, way better in bed, and a million times more caring!"
She had no idea how deeply such words could wound a man.
"Alright, fine."
Jeffrey pulled out his phone and dialed a number with one hand.
The call was picked up quickly on the other end, "Mr. Turner! We're in the ambulance now, don't worry!"
"Weston, make sure that punk gets what he deserves."
Hearing this, Karen panicked, "Jeffrey, I was lying to you! We never did anything, not even a kiss. It was our first meeting. We just had dinner and that's all!"
Jeffrey glanced at Karen and then relented with a chuckle, "Forget it, Weston. Just take good care of our friend Levi who thought he could pry away my girl."
Only when he hung up did Karen breathe a sigh of relief.
"You are just that worried about him, huh?"
"I regret that I was involved with a lunatic like you!" She cursed herself for being blinded by his charm, not considering the consequences that she couldn't afford.
She thought Jeffrey could handle a fling!
"What can you do, there's no antidote for regret." Jeffrey walked to his car and shoved her inside, "Just come with me, will you?"
"I don't want to! I want to go home!"
"Home? You think I don't know what you're up to? As soon as you leave here, you'll be running to the hospital to see that Levi, won't you?"
"I won't. I really want to go home, okay?"
Karen banged on the car window, but it was a Rolls-Royce, not something her fists could break!
Jeffrey locked the doors outright and drove towards his place.
Even he didn't realize that the irritation and restlessness that had plagued him all day had vanished the moment Karen got into his car.
Late at night, after Everett was asleep, Dorothy tiptoed out of bed.
She first checked on the kids' rooms, ensuring they were sound asleep and tucked in before she could settle.
Whether it was jet lag or sleeping too much on the plane, Dorothy had lain in bed for a long while without feeling sleepy.
She went to the living room and booted up her laptop, planning to finish the work Kevin had left undone.
It was her responsibility at first. Kevin had only stepped in to help out in a pinch.
Considering how Everett was away and she had added so much to Kevin's plate, she figured Kevin must be on the verge of burnout.
As soon as she logged in, she saw Kevin's account still online.
Dorothy typed a message and sent it, "Kevin, you can rest. I'll take it from here."Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated for All Books Updates...
"Ms. Sanchez, you're still up?" Kevin replied almost instantly.
"Yeah, can't sleep with the jet lag, might as well get some work done! You go sleep. You still need to be in the office tomorrow."
Kevin didn't hesitate mainly because he was truly exhausted, "Okay then, I'm off to bed. Don't overdo it, you should rest too. I'll handle it tomorrow."
"Thanks, I appreciate it!"
She closed the chat with Kevin, but out of the corner of her eye, she noticed her phone light up.
A text message had come in.
[Back in Eldorria City?]
The message was from an anonymous number, but she knew it had to be from Byte 7.
[Yeah, back now. How did you know?]
After a short wait, another message came in: [Your phone's IP is in Bay Residence.]
Dorothy gasped.
