"You just don't get it, do you? Jeffrey and Heather have been thick as thieves for years. Maybe for him, getting stabbed in the back by a close buddy is a deep wound. And just as it's starting to heal, you're all set to rip it open again."
Karen's eyes widened in disbelief, "And Heather is some kind of saint? Please! Jeffrey nearly lost his life over her!"
Dorothy sighed, a look of resignation on her face, "You're just too blunt, Karen. I try to explain, but it's like talking to a brick wall."
"Well, I guess I just don't get it!" Karen leaned back into the couch, her gaze drifting to the laptop still running on the coffee table, "Hey, what are you up to over there?"
"I'm checking out commercial buildings in Eldorria City. Thinking of starting my own investment bank."
"You? A boss lady?"
Dorothy just smiled and shrugged, "What, don’t I look the part?"
"Absolutely you do!" Karen jumped up, clapping her hands enthusiastically, "Let me think, what role could I play? How about I be your secretary? I'll be in charge of morale!"
"So, anyone who doesn’t agree with our terms gets an earful from you?"
"… Am I really that hot-headed?"
Karen couldn't help but laugh at herself, "Is that really me?"
Dorothy walked over and patted her on the shoulder, "Karen, I think you're perfect just the way you are. No holding back, just saying it like it is! There was a time when I was really jealous of you, able to be so unapologetically yourself."
And she envied the love and care Karen received from her parents.
At one point, Dorothy even thought, if she could be reborn, she'd wish to be Karen, no matter what the circumstances. At least she'd have parents who adored her the way Karen’s did.

Can you please convey this to the person who owns this website? Update “find me in your labyrinth” novel please...author is MIA since 12/4......
I don't agree with not letting him in. That just seems cruel and besides wasn't the whole point of getting pregnant again was for him to experience and travel the journey of pregnancy with her?...
Sometimes Karen can be such a drama queen and immature....
For some reason I am now feeling suspicious about Kevin's new girlfriend....
I really hope this Perdita person is not a new villain....
I too echoed the sentiments of pppplllleeeaaaassssseeeeee bring this drama to an end. I beg of you!...
Really please finish this book and upload the full story so it can end. It's been drugout for so long!...
The intimate scenes in this story or uncomfortable to read. They either come off as being forced, painful, or simply not enjoyable....
Okay I left a long while ago and came back. Looks like it's been updated but still not done lol. I'll maybe wait 6 months before coming back and it'll probably still be going on. It's like a soap opera instead of a novel...
Kenneth is confirming something I've been thinking about him for several hundred chapters ago and that is he is a future murder suicide perpetrator. And after reading chapter 1275 yeah it's just brought the thought back....
