"Karen, honey, listen to me. Could you pop over and see Jeffrey? He's in a bad way- covered in cuts and bruises, with blood all over the house. I'm scared he won't be able to handle the breakup!" Karen fell silent on the other end of the phone.

"He mentioned he might follow the new company project and leave Eldorria City. He said that without you, he can't bear to stay in the country!" Paloma's voice cracked with emotion, tears streaming down her face. "I'm begging you, think it over, okay? Don't be so hasty, both of you think it over!" Jeffrey frowned, tempted to snatch the phone away. "Mom! Don't pressure her!" "I'll think it over. Thanks for your care these past days." With that, Karen hung up.

Huxley sprung up from the couch. "First things first, give me Paige's number. | need to make sure her kid is part of the Turner bloodline!" "Ah, right! Jeffrey, have you done a paternity test?" Paloma, suddenly hopeful, clung to her son's arm. "We should get that done, you never know..." "I haven't, but I'm pretty sure the child is mine.” When he was with Paige, she was just nineteen, and it was her first time.

"Nonsense! We have to get that test done. You might be sure, but I'm not settling for just your word." Jeffrey, seeing his father about to leave, called out firmly.

"At least don't go after her for it now." "And why's that?" "Her daughter's in the hospital, and they've issued several critical condition notices." It would be cruel to demand a paternity test from Paige at such a time.

Huxley understood his son's point, and that only fueled his anger! His wayward son, stubborn as a mule when chastised, yet not completely heartless. The boy was just too frivolous and irresponsible.

"| feel like I've utterly failed at parenting! Let's go." "Ah?" Paloma was stunned. "But his hand..." "Let's go! Maybe this lesson will give him some time to reflect on what he should and shouldn't do in the future!" The intense passion of the night left Dorothy feeling as though her spine might shatter when she woke the next morning.

Blinking her eyes open, she propped herself up to find Everett already sitting cross-legged on the sofa, waiting for her.

He still wore his usual icy demeanor, a single lift of his gaze exuding an air of haughty arrogance, utterly incongruous with the wild man of the previous night.

"You're awake." "Yeah." Dorothy instinctively straightened her clothes, puzzled by Everett's intentions.

"Freshen up and come with me." "Where to?" "To sell you." Dorothy was dumbfounded.

When she saw Everett stand and walk away, Dorothy guessed he must be off to spend time with the kids.

As for where he was taking her, she had no clue.

Still, she obediently got ready and dressed, waiting for Everett.

Feeling it was about time, Everett returned, gave her a glance, and led the way with long strides.

Dorothy was curious about their destination but decided not to ask.

She would find out soon enough.

The moment she laid eyes on Heather, Dorothy instantly grasped Everett's plan.

"Dorothy! What are you doing here?" Heather was visibly shocked.

She had thought Everett wouldn't dare to bring Dorothy along, especially since Heather could spill the beans about his mother being the mastermind behind their troubles.

She had figured Everett would keep Dorothy hidden away.

The next second, Heather's shock turned to astonishment as her gaze shifted to Everett. "You told her!"
