Chapter 499

She tried to act as if the awkward encounter with Jeffrey hadn’t just happened.

But Jeffrey’s mood soured. “Seriously, I need to drive you back? I’m out here on the prowl, not to play

your personal chauffeur!”

“But didn’t you just…”

“God dammit, I’m totally deflated now. I did what?”

Karen swallowed hard, clearing her throat lightly. “Alright then, I won’t keep you. Go find some girl to

cure your impotence.”

Jeffrey felt like he could be driven to his grave by this woman’s nerve.

“Okay, you’re throwing these accusations at me. I can’t argue anymore. Guess I have no choice but to

prove you wrong with

actions!”

With a strong push, he swung the door wide open and strode in.

Karen stumbled backward and realized it was too late to shut the door.

“What are you doing?! Let me remind you, this is illegal!”

“Don’t play coy. You think I haven’t noticed you drooling over me?” He cornered her, leaving her no

escape. “Who couldn’t take her eyes off me when on the plane?”

His face, magnified and all too close, nearly made Karen feel like the air she needed was being sucked

away.

But that didn’t soften her resolve.

“I did not!”

“Heh.” Jeffrey sneered, casually grabbing her butt. “You might not have the curves of a pin–up, but I

guess you’ll do.”

“Bah! Get off me!” Karen tried to wriggle free, but his strength was overwhelming.

It was then that she realized the man in front of her was indeed very much a man.

Continually mocking and infuriating him was likely to provoke a reaction she couldn’t counter.

Seeing genuine fear in her eyes, Jeffrey finally relented with a scoff, “You don’t respect a tiger, and you

mistake me for a sick cat! Show some respect from now on, got it?”

He had only intended to teach her a lesson, never to actually touch her.

Besides, this was Dorothy’s best friend. If he really crossed a line, Everett would literally kill him!

Jeffrey backed off a few paces and was about to gloat, but then he noticed the tears streaming down

the young woman’s face.

“Hey! Whoa, damn it, don’t cry!”

He wasn’t adept at soothing girls. All he could do was clumsily offering her a tissue.

This was the most troublesome person he ever knew. Karen, usually fearless, was genuinely crying.

Had he taken the teasing too

far?

“You, fuck off!” Karen felt a sudden rush of grievances, though she couldn’t pinpoint the exact cause.

Jeffrey quickly gestured with his hands. “Okay, okay, I fuck off! If you need to get out later, just hit me

up. I’ll give you a ride there and back, deal?”

“Out!”

“You got it!”

The door closed, and Karen, sobbing, reached for her phone to call Dorothy.

Someone picked up after a few rings,. Before they could speak, Karen poured out her woes.

“Dorothy! Jeffrey, he… he forced me to wank for him… And then he harassed mel How can someone

be so vile!”

There was a stunned silence on the other end, followed by a low voice. “This is Everett. Dorothy’s

exhausted; she’s asleep. You said Jeffrey harassed you?”

Karen went blank, her first instinct was to hang up the phone.

Damn!

What in the world had she just told Everett?
