Dorothy was on the verge of saying something more when she noticed Everett raising an eyebrow, a clear sign that he was not going to let her off the hook today unless she agreed to use the Valleyton Plaza for theirpany.

"I'll use yourmercial building, but have you thought about how you're going to explain this to Quincy?" she asked.

After all, in the eyes of the world-and Quincy-they were still in the breakup phase. There was no reconciliation in sight, and they had to keep up the act for a while longer.

"I've thought it through. Just say you were adamant about getting a share of my assets." "Quincy would believe that?" "That depends on your acting skills," Everett said with a smirk. "You did a great job pretending not to lovebefore, didn't you?" She had even managed to fool him! Dorothy couldn't help but roll her eyes.

How did he still enjoy bringing up the past? Those days were long gone.

"I just don't want to cause you any trouble." "Then causetrouble. Preferably, keepbusy solving them forever." Dorothy couldn't help but smile. "Everett, you're quite the charmer." She didn't even know how to respond to his sweetness anymore.

"You need ssugar in your life, or someone sweeter might sweep you off your feet," he shrugged. "Like that guy who always claims to be your future son-in-law, wasn't he the one who won over Keh with his sweet talk?" It took Dorothy a moment to catch on.

She had a feeling this was something he would never let go of.

"Let's not dwell on that anymore. I promise, whenever you want, I'll take you to meet my mom, okay?" "That's more like it." Karen woke up to darkness, her arms and legs aching.

She groaned and turned over, sitting up in bed- "Ah! Jeffrey, you scared the life out of me!" His sudden appearance startled Karen.

He squinted his eyes and smiled, trying to win her over. "Honey, did you sleep well? Are you hungry?" "I'm not hungry. And stop looking atlike that, Jeffrey—" "You said it, no divorce," Jeffrey cut her off.

"My parents or yours?" "Mine, of course!" Jeffrey chuckled. "Your parents... I didn't dare tell them..." He was afraid they'd just take their.

Fed up with Jeffrey's ramblings, Karen washed her face and left the bedroom.

In the cramped living room of their apartment, Jeffrey's parents, Huxley and Paloma, were waiting.

As soon as they saw Karen, Paloma immediately approached her with a warm smile. "Karen! My dear daughter-in-law, you've been wronged. Mom's here to set things right!" .

With Paloma being so kind, Karen couldn't keep up her cold demeanor and walked over, saying, "Mom." "Don't worry! Your dad and I chere specifically to teach Jeffrey a lesson!"
