GoodReadJeff scooped her up effortlessly and carried her back to their bedroom. With his tall frame, he pinned her down on the bed, refusing
to let her move.
"Jeff, what are you trying to do? Let go of me!"
"I'd miss you too much if you left," Jeff murmured, nuzzling against his wife's cheek with a mischievous grin. "I promise, | won't pull
an Everett on you and talk about splitting up, okay? Even if it kills me, | won't let you go."
"Ha! Everyone saw how hard Everett chased after Dorothy. And what happened in the end? The moment he laid eyes on another
woman, he was ready to call it quits with Dorothy!"
To Karen, a breakup was one thing, but the reason behind it was entirely unacceptable.
Especially since it all boiled down to Everett's mother?

That was something Karen just couldn't stomach.
It was his mother who had stirred the pot first, and now Dorothy was taking the fall for it.
"You don't know the whole story," Jeff blurted out suddenly, his emotions getting the better of him.
Karen's eyebrows furrowed in confusion as she stared at him. "What do you mean? Is there something | should know?"
"Nothing, it's nothing."
"Jeff! Are you trying to pushinto divorcing you?"
He sighed, "You seriously think Everett wants to break up with Dorothy for Quincy?"
"I can't say much right now, but just know that whatever Everett is doing, it's for Dorothy's best interest. And if you go spilling this
to Dorothy now, you're only going to hurt her."
Quincy was at her wit's end trying to get close to Everett.
She had tried everything, even begging Jonathan for help, but to no avail.
Desperate, she resorted to groveling before the Caldwell family.
"I need to see Everett. Think of something."
Ronin couldn't help but laugh at her request. "I thought you two were close? Why do you need my help to see him?"
"Why do you need to see him so badly? Tell me, and I'll consider helping you."

Quincy knew she had to spill struth if she wanted her father's help.
"I need to poison Everett, then use that to control him."
"What?!" Ronin almost thought he was hallucinating. "Are you insane? If you want to die, don't drag the Caldwell family down with
you!"
He wanted the Lopez family's support but certainly not at the cost of their lives.
"You're really trying to getkilled, aren't you?"
"It's your fault for forcinginto this mess! If you hadn't insisted | marry into the Lopez family, none of this would have anything
to do with me."
She never wanted to be part of this in the first place.
