Her mantra had always been to let go gracefully.
"Ah? Then you're..." "Going back to the mansion, and I'm taking my daughter with me!" If Jeffrey wasn't going to keep his promises, she certainly wasn't going to stick around and make do.
"Don't be hasty!" Dorothy tried to stop Karen, but lacking Karen's fiery spirit and still under the weather herself, she could only watch as Karen stormed off. She quickly dialed Everett, "This is bad, really bad. You need to get ahold of Jeffrey, fast!"
