"No worries, you've got a lifetime to figure it out."
Jeffrey had thrown in the towel. He was utterly defeated!
So what if it was about wealth? At the end of the day, it didn't really matter who owned his properties.
He wasn't that attached to his cars and assets.
"Jeffrey, can you just stop?" Karen, sensing he might be serious, pleaded, "We're not a good match!"
"You think you and that Levi are a good match?"
"He’s not a match after the beating you gave him." She feared that even if she reached out to Levi tomorrow, he'd probably block her.
And explaining this mess to her parents? That was a tangled web she dreaded to unravel!
Karen was absolutely fed up with Jeffrey's temperament. Impulsive, quick to anger, never considering the consequences or anyone else's feelings.
Jeffrey was leagues behind Everett in this respect!
"A match or not, you're mine," Jeffrey declared, settling back into the couch with a thin smile, eyeing her. "Tomorrow, you'll join my folks in ironing out my assets. After I wrap up the meeting at the office, I'll come straight to pick you up."
"I'm not going. I don't want any of it."
"Like it or not, you have to take it! Karen, you're an adult, aren't you? You've got to stick to your word."
Karen glared at him, "You said you didn't like me one bit!"
Jeffery was speechless.
"Anyway, I'm telling you that I still won't marry you even if you give me your fortune. I said that just to get rid of you! Just let me go. I really need to check on Levi at the hospital. Or how can my parents face Levi’s after this?"
"I won't let you leave. Don’t you understand that?"
Karen rolled her eyes and clenched her teeth, "Guest room!"
Jeffrey gave her a thumbs-up, "Then goodnight and sleep tight! My folks will be here first thing in the morning."
Karen was in shock. She thought he was bluffing, or at least there was a chance. She couldn't fathom how a seasoned player like Jeffrey, who was notorious for his romantic escapades, could suddenly fall for her and be willing to hand over all his assets just to marry her.
But when she saw Jeffrey's parents sitting in the living room waiting for her the next morning, she was convinced.
"Karen!" Paloma waved enthusiastically. "You're up! My husband and I hope we didn't come too early to disturb your rest."
Karen blinked. She was now completely numb.
Paloma smiled and approached her, "Jeffrey's off to the office, but he asked me to take care of things. Once you're ready, we'll head to the bank. My husband and I have talked it over. Jeffrey does have some assets that can't be transferred. So here's what we'll do: we'll liquidate our own assets and deposit the cash into your account. How does that sound?"

The readers' comments on the novel: The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires
Why didn't Jeffrey call Everett from the office? Lock his door instruct security to not let anyone in and speak to Everett on the phone? Or send him a text giving him a quick summary of what's up and that he's on his way over. That way when he runs into Heather on his way out he informs her Everett already knows....
