The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 792

"I didn't say that, okay? You're the one jumping to conclusions!"

He really didn’t let the peep slip out since Karen didn’t affirm him.

Everett chuckled, "Looks like Karen's pretty strict to you."

"Dude, I'm all for the rules at home. Unlike you, who's practically begging for someone to take charge and coming up empty."

"Jeffrey."

"Whatever, I've said my piece. It's your call now."

He'd lost enough sleep over their drama, and now with Karen's status, Jeffrey had to tread lightly. He never wanted to ruffle Kenneth's feathers too much.

If he'd laid it all out this clearly and Everett still didn't come back to keep an eye on his ex, it would just prove that he really had thrown in the towel just like Kenneth said. Then no one could save the situation.

Elysian Country.

When Amanda got the call from the court, she was so enraged she passed out and woke up in the hospital.

As soon as she came to, she started ranting.

"Get Everett back here! What kind of son did I raise? How dare he throw his own mother in jail!?"

Jonathan sat beside her; he was fuming as well. He was both mad at their son and his wife!

Jonathan quickly intervened as he heard that.

"Please, no more trouble, okay? Our son handed over your incriminating evidence to Dorothy. She's got a solid case. We need to keep our heads down for now!"

If it weren't for his son's protection, Jonathan would have thought of silencing the issue by taking Dorothy’s life.

The problem was Everett protecting Dorothy at every turn, and Jonathan feared that pushing his son too far would tear their relationship beyond repair.

"And about that evidence, it's your fault! Why on earth did you hand Heather over to our son? I told you a thousand times to stay out of Heather's business. Why didn't you listen?"

Without Heather's testimony, none of it could be proven!

"Who could've known? You only told me it was about giving Heather some backing, that you weren't involved in the actual deed!"
