Jeffrey was fuming, his frustration reaching top as he scooped up Langston and marched over to confront Karen.
"Why are you bringing up Heather again?"
"It's the truth, why can't I mention it? I hate her, plain and simple. Do I have to lie just to be with you?"
"You—"
He always said he loved to party, but he could change that. He could cut ties with his high-society friends. After all, they often needed him more than he needed them. But every time Karen brought up Heather, Jeffrey just didn't know what to do.
It was something from the past, unchangeable.
He couldn't rewrite history even if he wanted to.
Langston watched the back-and-forth, sensing something more but not quite sure what it was. Venturing a guess, he asked, "Aunt Karen, you dislike Mr. Turner?"
Without hesitation, Karen nodded. "Absolutely, I hate him."
"But Mr. Turner is really handsome! Aunt Karen, you always daydream looking at those hunky celebrities' pictures, even saying you wish to marry one. Why would you dislike Mr. Turner? I think he's way more handsome than those movie stars."
Karen was at a loss for words.
Jeffrey chuckled through his nose, rubbing Langston's cheek, "That's my boy, Langston, knows quality when he sees it! Unlike someone..."
"He's handsome? Langston, have you not seen the scar on his face? That thing’s gonna stick for life!" Karen, never one to back down, retaliated, "Let me tell you a secret, that scar is a lifelong reminder from Mr. Turner’s beloved woman!"

The readers' comments on the novel: The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires
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....
How could Jeffrey throw the knife down at the scene of the crime with both their fingerprints on there?...
Again no update, so is this where it ends? Or post the whole book. Your dragging this out...
