This turns out to be a severe underestimation on his part, as Karen ends up exposing Fisk's criminal dealings to the press and later murders Wesley when he tries to blackmail her under the threat of her loved ones being killed.

When you call and you call and you call, and there's just ''no'' answer. It becomes an obsession. The calling. The never-ending loop of a ghost's voicemail in your ear. You worry. You wonder. You swear "Goddamn it, if he's still living I'm gonna kill him myself." Is that what it was like for you? Did you rage at him? 'Cause you thought he betrayed you? Because I wonder what would be worse for you? His duplicity or his death? ''[softly]'' He died quickly, if you were wondering. Didn't suffer much. You see, Wilson, Matt Murdock isn't the person you should be worried about. ''I''
