The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1084

"Ah? No wonder..."

"Is everything set with Kenneth?"

Everett had to strategize not just around Quincy but also keep an eye out for Kenneth, who was lurking behind, eyeing his position.

"Don't even start! After I spoke to them, Karen and Kenneth's mom were thrilled. They agreed right away, and Kenneth seemed okay with it too. But for some reason, Kenneth suddenly backed out."

"...Backed out?"

"Yeah! Refuses to go to therapy now." If Everett hadn't asked, Jeffrey would've been too embarrassed to bring it up, "I don't know if he sensed something."

"Did Karen head over to Bay Residence?"

"Not sure, I'll give her a call. She probably did."

Everett rubbed his temples, "Karen's not going to say anything good about me."

Jeffrey chuckled nervously. He knew that much!

Given how protective Karen was over Dorothy, if she found out Everett "cheated" with Quincy, she'd blow her top.

...

And just as they anticipated, when Dorothy called Karen in tears, Karen was fuming.

"Who's been messing with you? Don't cry, tell me, and I'll get back at them for you!"

Arriving at Bay Residence, Karen immediately hugged Dorothy. She rarely saw Dorothy this emotionally shattered. Even when troubled, she would usually hold it in!

Something major must've happened to make her cry like this.

Dorothy didn't want to explain, didn't want to talk about her and Everett, she just wept.

Karen, putting on her thinking cap, quickly zeroed in on Everett.
