“You know all that?” Stanley was super curious. “I went through hell and back just to dig up even the tiniest bit of info.”

Jeffrey cut straight to the chase. “What’s the situation now?”

When it came to Karen, Stephen cared way too much to ever let her go. But just like always, he’d never defy his parents. Compared to Jeffrey, he’d been the obedient one since they were kids, always following whatever their parents said–the perfect child, really.

As far as anyone could tell, Stephen would never risk his career just for Karen.

“Not really sure,” Stanley admitted. It was already pretty hard for him to find out it had anything to do with Karen. “All I know is, Stephen’s been glued to the office lately and he’s turned down a ton of business trips.”

Jeffrey’s eyes darkened, his thoughts growing heavier.

Stanley waited for a while, and when there was still no response, he couldn’t help but ask, curiosity nagging at him. “What are you thinking about?”

“Nothing,” Jeffrey replied curtly, clearly not in the mood to discuss it. “You go ahead, I’ve got things to take care of here.”

“I’ve already sped things up,” Gregory replied, knowing exactly what Jeffrey was talking about. “Karen’s shows will start dropping in about a month, and we’ve got all the hot topics and trending posts lined up.”

“Push things harder. I want her shows dropping in the next few days,” Jeffrey said, his eyes cold. He wanted Stephen to be completely buried in work.

He’d already warned Stephen to stay away from Rebecca.

But since Stephen ignored him, Jeffrey had no problem kicking him while he was down.

“Understood,” Gregory replied.

Jeffrey went on, “Trending lists, buzz, all the promo–give her the full superstar treatment. If Stephen tries
