Jeffrey had just left, saying he was filling in for Everett at a meeting, which meant he is probably in the boardroom by now. Wait up, I’ll just shoot him a text and see what’s up.”

Karen knew she had to skedaddle before Jeffrey got back; if he returned, she wouldn’t stand a chance of leaving.

“Alright, you guys catch up with Jeffrey for the full scoop. I better head out.”

“What’s the rush? Have some breakfast! I asked the housekeeper to whip up something special.” Paloma didn’t let Karen’s words sour her mood; she was still all smiles. “After you’ve eaten, whether you and Jeffrey are an item or not, I’m making him go to the hospital and apologize to your friend. We’ll sort out any compensation that’s due; we can’t muddle it through and have you caught in the middle of this mess.”

“No worries, my friend probably doesn’t need his apology. I’ll have a word with him, that’s all.”

Karen was terrified that if Jeffrey faced Levi, he might throw punches before he could even apologize!

Nobody knew what he’s gonna do next with his temper.

Coercing her, throwing his phone in a fit, lashing out…none of that was normal behavior.

“Karen, Jeffrey has to face the consequences of his actions. Don’t worry, with his dad and me around, he wouldn’t dare step out of line.” Paloma’s sincere gaze didn’t carry a trace of high-society arrogance.
