"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 | wrap up the meeting at the office, I'll come straight to pick you up." "I'm not going. | 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 | still won't marry you even if you give me your fortune. | said that just to get rid of you! Just let me go. | really need to check on Levi at the hospital. Or how can my parents face Levi's after this?" She truly regretted dragging Levi into this mess! For him, this was an unprovoked disaster.

"Well, for the record, once you say something, | take it to heart." Jeffrey casually crossed his legs and gave a little shake of his foot, which exuded a roguish air. "What do your folks like, anyway? I've never done the meet-the-parents thing. No experience." "What?!" Karen frowned. "You want to meet my parents?" "Isn't it standard to meet the family before getting hitched?" Jeffrey raised an eyebrow. "You thinking of pulling off some secret marriage? Don't even go there! What if your folks don't know you're already spoken for and set you up on dates? How would that work?" He had no intention of being a secret affair for any woman! "Jeffrey!" "Master bedroom with me, or the guest room on your own. Take your pick?" He gestured towards the two adjacent rooms, skipping the financial talk.

"I want to leave! Don't you understand?" "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 | 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 | 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?"
