Jeffrey stepped forward, taking Karen's hand with an ease that suggested he was blissfully unaware of the kneeling figure beside them.

"She messed up, and punishment's fair game. Let's head back. I can see you're not keen on this surprise; I'll get you another one." "I don't want another surprise. Just... let her stand up,” Karen said, her voice tinged with sympathy for Paige.

Despite Paige's previously haughty demeanor, she truly loved Jeffrey and had given him her all. It wasn't fair for her to end like this.

"Today, we got hitched. I don't want her sobbing away here. Do a good deed, for once,” Karen said.

Jeffrey peered into her eyes, gauging her sincerity.

With a smile, he nodded. "Alright, then. She doesn't have to kneel." He turned his head, casting a cold glance at Paige. "You can go now." Paige blinked, stunned. "But... my parents..." Jeffrey's arm tightened around Karen's waist. "My wife said it's a special day; we got our marriage license. I'm in a good mood, so I'll let your family off the hook." Hand in hand, Jeffrey and Karen moved towards the mansion.
