Chapter 632


    Jeffrey was the picture of embarrassment, wiping the beads of sweat off his brow. "I swear, I had no


    idea what kind of person Heather was back then! She nearly got me killed with her schemes, all


    because I trusted her too much!"


    "What made you trust her then?" Keh wasn''t born yesterday. He knew exactly what was at y


    here. "You had a crush on Heather, didn''t you?"


    Jeffery fell silent.


    "Karen, think about it, is this the kind of guy you want to be with?" Keh didn''t mince words, his


    directness leaving the others speechless.


    Jeffrey was now sweating bullets.


    He almost wished Keh would''ve just socked him. Maybe then, he''d get off the hook by ying


    the sympathy card.


    "Answer me!" Keh raised his voice, repeating the demand.


    Startled, Karen murmured like a child caught with her hand in the cookie jar, "Dorothy said she


    didn''t mind..."


    "So you think it''s okay just because she doesn''t mind? He turns to chase you because he can''t get


    Heather. And you just say yes?"


    Jeffery quickly interjected, "I never chased Heather, I swear it! Yes, I had a little crush on Heather,


    but it was mostly just friendship because I knew how much she liked Everett. I never stood a


    chance."


    "What about Karen? When did you start liking her then? And what are your intentions?" Keh


    had always been protective of Karen, like a big brother or even a father. When she moved to


    Eldorria City, he even bought her a small apartment, showing just how much he liked her.


    Getting past him was going to be way tougher than getting past Derek!


    "I''m serious about marrying Karen. I''m not kidding."


    "Karen, do you believe him?" Both men looked at her expectantly.


    She hesitated but eventually nodded.


    "Yes, I trust him."


    Keh clenched his fists, but he didn''t swing. Instead, he just twitched his lips, grinding out


    through clenched teeth, "Fine, then I have nothing more to say. But if you break up with him one


    day, don''te crying to me about it. And if he ever hurts you, don''t expect me to dry your tears!"


    "Keh!"


    "I don''t want to hear any promises, Jeffrey. If you''re a reliable man, you''ll never let Karen down, and


    I''ll believe you. Otherwise, your words mean nothing to me."


    With that, Keh turned to leave.


    Karen dashed forwards, chasing Keh down to the stairwell before she could catch him.


    "Keh! I know what you''re upset about. You think I betrayed Dorothy, right? I haven''t! I checked


    with Dorothy over and over, and she''s okay with me and Jeffrey. If Dorothy really cared, I never


    would''ve said yes to Jeffrey."


    It wasn''t about how important Jeffrey was. She would never forsake her longtime best friend over a


    guy she just met.


    "Karen, it''s your decision. I can''t make it for you. I just don''t want to see you hurt by a yboy."


    "Don''t worry, I can take care of my own heart! If he betrays his promises, he won''t get a second


    chance from me." Karen didn''t want to upset her brother, who meant the world to her. "Trust me,


    please. If you don''t believe me, you can ask Dorothy yourself when she visits Be''s grave


    tomorrow."

    Keh paused, looking at her. "She''s going to the cemetery tomorrow?"


    "Yeah. I think she''s going with Everett."
