Jeffrey!
Why on earth was he here?
Without a second thought, Karen grabbed Dorothy by the arm and dragged Dorothy inside.
She didn't want to see Jeffrey, not for any reason, not at all!
But how could Karen outrun Jeffrey, a man towering six-foot-three frame?
Within moments, she felt a firm grip on her wrist from behind.
"Karen, stop running!"
Hearing Jeffrey's voice, Dorothy finally understood why Karen had suddenly bolted.
She had been utterly clueless just seconds ago.
"Let go of me!" Karen snapped, whirling around to shove him away.
Jeffrey quickly released her, saying, "Okay, okay, I'm letting go! Just don't freak out, please!"
In her fury, Karen hardly heard his words, but Dorothy caught on quickly.
"Jeffrey, you shouldn't be here. You two are done," she pointed out, testing the waters.
"I... I was just checking up on her from downstairs. Didn't mean to intrude," Jeffrey stammered, his words faltering.
He had been at his wit's end trying to find Karen and had ultimately sought help from Everett.
But Everett had warned him not to let on about the protection detail he'd arranged for her, especially not to Dorothy.
"You're intruding right now!" Karen glared at him, tugging Dorothy to leave.
For every step they took towards the stairs, Jeffrey followed suit.
Dorothy knew some things had to be settled between the two, and as a third party, no matter how close, she had no say. So, she said frankly, "Karen, I'm going to head back. I think Jeffrey has something he wants to say to you."

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...
