The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 635

"No need for that..." Jeffrey's face was frozen in an expression of utter discomfort.

But Caren was dead serious, with an air of earnestness as she added, "I have to give it back to you! I went looking for you at Charm Night Bar several times afterward, but you were never there. I don't want people to think I only left with you that night for money. If I keep this money, what's the difference between me and those women on the street corners?"

Just as Jeffrey was about to speak up, Karen sidled up to him, resting a hand on his shoulder with a smile as she looked at Caren, "Honey, are you sure it was Mr. Turner who gave you the money? You might be mistaken."

"There's no mistake! I can show you the receipt. Look!"

Jeffrey's instinct was to stop her, but Karen had already snatched it up.

The name on the receipt was undeniably Jeffrey’s.

But the timing...

It was a transaction made after his return from Swevia Country.

Jeffrey could feel his heart growing colder than the iced drink in his hand!

He quickly explained to Karen, "Look, I did book a room for her that night, but I didn't touch her! You can ask her!"

Caren glanced at the flustered Jeffrey, then at Karen. She seemed to understand something. "Mr. Turner and I—"

"No need to explain, sweetie. I get it! Keep the money. You've earned it." Karen's face was a mask of smiles from beginning to end, never once faltering, "Jeffrey, I'm done with this stroll, let's go."

Jeffrey dared not defy her.
