Chapter 705

Karen could hear the noise, recognizing that Jeffrey was back. However, she didn't pause in what

she was doing, not even for a second.

With only one box left – her clothes - she had to take them with her. Everything else essential for

her daily life, including towels, PJs, and kitchenware, was already packed.

"Karen, wait a sec!" Jeffrey hurried over, trying to stop her from reaching for the clothes on the high

shelf.

But Karen just pushed him away and continued stuffing her belongings into the suitcase with an

impassive face.

"Karen! Can you just listen to me for one minute? I was with Paige last night, sure, but nothing

happened, I swear. I just spent the night at the hospital, that's all! What do you think we could've

done there?"

"Back off. Don't touch me."

Karen wasn’t having any of it, just kept on packing her clothes.

Left with no choice, Jeffrey tried to pull out the clothes as fast as she could pack them in.

Suddenly, she took a step back, looked up at him and said, "Fine, I don't want them."

With that, Karen stormed out the door, while Jeffrey was still wrestling with the clothes.

"Hey! Wait!"

He was at his wit's end!

Jeffrey quickly stretched his long legs to catch up with her and managed to intercept her at the front

gate of the villa.

"Karen, believe me, nothing happened with Paige last night! You see, I'm still wearing the same

clothes I left in yesterday!"

He hadn’t expected her reaction to be so volatile. If he had known, he'd have steadied her first, not

blurted out about being at the hospital with Paige, and then eased into the events of the previous

night.

"Don't lay a finger on me, you disgust me," Karen glared at him, still completely not receptive to his

explanations.

"What can I do to make you believe me? Should we go to the hospital and check the security

tapes?"

"No need." Karen dropped the words coldly, then whipped out her phone.

Before Jeffrey could even react, she had already dialed Derek.

"Dad, can you pick me up from Jeffrey's place? He didn't come home last night because he was

with another woman. We're breaking up."

"What…?" Derek was confused but quickly agreed, "Okay, Karen, I'll come get you. Wait for me!"

Jeffrey was dumbstruck and couldn't help but curse under his breath, "Damn it, Karen, why wouldn’t

you leave me any way out?"

Just like that, all his efforts were in vain!

"Why should I leave you a way out? I'm breaking up with you, whether you explain or not!"

She felt she had been more than generous.

That Paige kept coming around, constantly challenging her. Karen thought Jeffrey was a good

catch, and since he hadn't lied to her, she had held back - no scenes or fights. However, that didn't

mean she didn't care at all!

What woman could deal with her boyfriend driving off with his ex, and then just accept a lame

excuse and move on as if nothing happened?

Karen believed she had been more than fair!

"So even if nothing happened with Paige last night, we're done?"

"Yes! I've had enough." Karen's trust was a one-time offer.

He had taken it lightly, so there was no second chance needed.

"Do you even love me, Karen? How could you call your dad?" Jeffrey had braced himself for

anything on the way back, even if it meant getting on his knees for Karen.

But he hadn't expected this – she really wasn't going to leave any room for their relationship to

survive.
