"What do you mean? You want to keep the kids here?" Karen, overhearing this, immediately got worked up. "The kids are Dorothy's. What right do you have? It's you who wanted the breakup, so what grounds do you have to make demands?" Dorothy couldn't believe these words were coming from Everett. How could he change like this? "The kids have to stay here, no matter what. I can't let you take them." Everett knew too well that Dorothy couldn't bear to leave Abigail and Langston behind, effectively anchoring her to stay.
"You're being unreasonable!" Karen was fuming, itching to give Everett a piece of her mind. "Wasn't it you who pursued Dorothy first? And then your family didn't approve, even causing Dorothy's mother's death. Did she ever blyou? She never thought of revenge, even went ahead to have your kids after leaving you! And you?" "Your mother caused the death of Dorothy's only kin. Have you ever thought about how Dorothy is supposed to live her life now? Oh, now your mother is gone and you feel bad, so you decide to drag Dorothy down with you! Everett, I never realized you were so unreasonable." Dorothy didn't want Karen to get more involved in this mess, especially since there was Jeffrey in the middle, making things awkward. But it was because of her.

"Karen, let us handle this, please go back." Dorothy went over to pull at Karen's hand. But she shook it off, visibly upset, standing up for her friend.
"Everett, you think just because you're in a position of power, you can manipulate Dorothy? Well, don't forget, it was you who begged Dorothy to be with you! If not for you, there would be plenty of others lined up for Dorothy, not your turn at all!" "Karen, stay out of this." Everett was getting a headache from her accusations. He didn't like confronting women. Especially since Karen had a temper, and if a real argument broke out, he doubted he could outtalk her. And then there's Jeffrey... He really couldn't use any tactics on Karen.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Why should I stay out of it? Dorothy is my family, and it's not okay for you to bully her!"
"Karen! Lettalk to Everett, please go back, okay?" Dorothy was mainly worried things would escalate. With Karen there, the situation could blow up in any direction. "Don't makeleave, I don't want you to be bullied." "He won't bully me."
"Not bully you? He's practically stealing Abigail and Langston!" Karen was so angry she could have pointed right at Everett's nose, fearless as always. "You heartbreaker, it's true, men are no good!"
Luckily, Jeffrey arrived soon after. No one had called him; he had just felt something was off, worried that Karen might Rush Dorothy into accepting Kenneth, potentially backstabbing his own brother. When he got there, Karen was still laying into Everett, word for word, sentence by sentence, calling out his betrayal.
