Chapter 750


    Rather than calling it a forceful kiss, it felt more like a punishment.


    Karen felt her lips sting from the bite, she gasped instinctively, only to be overwhelmed as he


    invaded her space, iming every part of her.


    Pinned against the wall, her hands, still trembling from the force she''d exerted earlier, pounded


    against his chest in vain.


    Feeling her breath being stolen away, Karen had no choice but to bite down hard on Jeffrey.


    Soon, the taste of iron mingled between their mouths, but he refused to back down, not even an


    inch!


    Karen would be lying if she said she wasn''t scared.


    At that moment, Jeffrey seemed possessed, like he''d lost all reason!


    "Mi...ugh! Jeffrey..."


    Losing strength fromck of air, Karen''s body went limp.


    The next second, Jeffrey scooped her up and carried her into the bedroom.


    The sound of the door locking was like a final verdict!


    "Jeffrey, I-I''m pregnant!"


    She tried to back away desperately.


    But Jeffrey, gripping Karen''s ankles, pulled her back towards him effortlessly.


    "You''re the one who didn''t want the baby, remember?"


    "What are you trying to do?"


    "Karen, I''m asking you onest time, will you marry me and have this child?"


    In the unlit bedroom, the only light in his eyes was the reflection of the moonlight, giving him an


    ominous presence.


    Karen felt the danger but could not fathom the consequences, so she stubbornly said, "I won’t! Ask


    me a hundred times, my answer is still no!"


    "Fine, I won''t ask you ever again."


    Jeffrey pinned her shoulders and leaned in for another kiss.


    She dodged, but she could only avoid him for so long.


    When she felt the chill beneath her, panic set in.


    "Jeffrey! If you touch me, I''ll never forgive you!"


    "Then let''s be entwined in this hate for a lifetime."


    After all, her hatred was better than having nothing at all!


    She hadn''t imagined Jeffrey could be so ruthlessly insane!


    ...


    The next morning, when Dorothy woke up with a hangover pounding in her head, she frowned


    deeply.


    It took her a moment to sit up in bed and realize she was in a hotel room.


    Looking around, she was alone.


    Dorothy recalled drinkingst night, and then Everett had shown up.


    No need to think further; it must have been him who brought her here.


    After freshening up and gaining some rity, she noticed a note left by Everett on the table.


    [I''ve left Eldorria City. Next time you want to drink, call Keh to keep youpany, lest you get


    so drunk you can''t even make a call.]


    He actually suggested she contact Keh?


    Dorothy wasn''t foolish; she understood the implications.


    It seemed he had truly given up.


    Well, perhaps that was for the best.


    Dorothy lowered her gaze, standing motionless until her legs went numb, before finally shaking it off


    and moving.

    Thinking of Karen''s situation, Dorothy quickly called her.


    After a few rings, to her surprise, it was Jeffrey who answered!


    "Hello?"


    "Jeffrey? Why do you have Karen''s phone?"


    Jeffrey chuckled on the other end, "It took me all night to calm her down. She was quite upset and


    probably exhausted; she''s asleep right now. When she wakes up, I''ll have her call you back."
