Karen's face froze, then she awkwardly shifted her gaze away.
"I'm just... afraid of the pain." Upon hearing this, Jeffrey immediately promised with utmost seriousness, "Don't worry, I'll get you the best medical team there is! We'll minimize your pain and any surgical risks!" Karen frowned.
It suddenly made sense to her why Everett was the CEO and Jeffrey was still working under him.

"Can you just go and get my phone?" "Oh, okay." Being a woman, Karen couldn't very well be the first to say, "I don't want an abortion anymore; I want to have your baby," could she? Initially, she truly didn't want it, but she was under the assumption that she would cut ties with Jeffrey completely and start afresh on her own. Now that they were legally married, well... having kids was just a matter of time.
Worried about the toll pregnancy might take on her, Jeffrey was even prepared to give up the baby he longed for. Karen found that touching. But she wasn't ready to let Jeffrey know she had accepted him, lest he stir up more trouble.
When Karen called Dorothy, she was on her way to the Bureau of Industry and Commerce.
For a private investigation like this, Dorothy didn't trust anyone else to handle it, so she had to make the trip herself.
"Kenneth didn't sendan invite to his party!" "Maybe he's upset. He's still not happy with the whole thing between you and Jeffrey. Why don't you try to sweet-talk him today?" Karen paused, then hummed in agreement. "Alright, I'll give him a call." As they were about to hang up, Dorothy quickly added, "Are you going to Kenneth's birthday dinner tonight? If you're not, I need to let him know that I... I can't make it either." "Ah, I know! Don't worry, I'll be there." Karen chuckled. "I wouldn't want to put you in an awkward spot. Even if Kenneth doesn't invite me, I've got to show up! It's just that..." "Just what?" "Dorothy, I've started getting morning sickness. If I see Kenneth, I won't be able to hide it." Derek and Serena didn't even know yet! Karen continued, "When the tcomes, you've got to put in a good word for me! I'm afraid Kenneth might givean earful." After thinking it over, Dorothy spoke calmly, "Karen, avoiding the issue won't help. Why don't you bring Jeffrey with you and explain things to Kenneth? Jeffrey's good at sweet-talking, isn't he? Sooner or later, he'll have to win over your family." After all, Karen's pregnancy was confirmed. Whether Derek and Serena found out sooner or later didn't change the fact that Jeffrey would have to face the music.
Karen sighed. "I know you're right, but I still want to hide just a little longer." "Stop hiding. It's better to settle down sooner; it's good for your pregnancy. Otherwise, you'll be distracted by all these worries." "Yeah, you're right. See you tonight, then! I'l discuss it with Jeffrey and figure out what to say." "Okay, see you tonight." After hanging up, Dorothy finally breathed a sigh of relief.
If Karen didn't go, she would definitely have to concoct sexcuse to bail. Celebrating Kenneth's birthday alone with him? That would be totally inappropriate.

Dorothy grabbed her bag and got out of the car, ready to go in, but then she noticed an unread message notification on her phone from the Lopez Corporation, sent by Kevin.
Worried it might be something m important, she stopped to check it.
