Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2882

Luca's figure disappeared at the entrance of the ICU, and a man emerged from around the corner.

He had just sent all the photos he took to Karen.

In Mallory Manor, Karen sat on the couch with one of her hands holding the freshly brewed floral tea prepared by the maid. She held her phone with her other hand, swiping the screen as she looked at the pictures.

As Karen looked at the photos sent by the private detective she hired, she recognized the man in them as Johann.

While she observed the distance between Johann and Luca, Karen raised an eyebrow and quipped with a hint of sarcasm, "She’s quite a player."

The maid, who was steeping the tea, turned around and gave Karen a puzzled look. Then, she asked, "Madam?"

"I wasn’t talking about you," Karen explained impatiently, glancing at the photos again. She muttered to herself about how Luca had intentionally brought herself closer to the man.

It was not jealousy. It was more like she thought that Luca was very shameless.

Karen placed the teacup on the table lazily and replied, "I don't want it anymore. Take it away."

The maid put down the tea-brewing tools. She nodded and replied, "Alright, Madam. It's time for you to take your medicine."

"I'm not sick. Why should I take medicine?" Karen furrowed her brows.

The maid let out a sigh and replied, "It's blood pressure medication. The doctor said you need to take a pill in the morning and a pill in the evening to control your blood pressure."

"I told you, I'm not sick!" Impatience flashed across Karen’s eyes. She turned off the phone screen and rose to her feet.

The maid immediately added, "Madam, the doctor said that if you don't take the blood pressure medication and your blood pressure isn’t well controlled, you might end up needing stronger short-term medications with significant side effects."

Karen usually needed to take blood pressure medication to stabilize her condition. The regular medication had minor side effects, but it would not affect her mental state either.

The maid became anxious at the thought of the last few times when Karen was under the influence of the side effects.

A few maids had been scratched and injured by Karen.

Karen paused for a moment while she climbed the stairs, recalling the situation when her high blood pressure would not come down...

If she did not take the blood pressure medicine in the long term, it would be difficult to bring her blood pressure down once it rose. If she went crazy, Old Master Mallory might even have her admitted to a mental hospital.

When Karen thought of Pierre, she knew she could not end up in a mental hospital!

She turned around, arrogantly instructing the maid to follow her, "Bring the medicine to my bedroom."

"Yes," the maid quickly left to get the medicine.

Karen returned to her bedroom and took a leather file bag out of the drawer. The documents in the bag were all from Pierre’s office.

These documents had nothing to do with the company's operations, so Pierre did not ask Oswald to retrieve them in the first place.

She opened the files, which included information about Luca and some details about Luke.

A sinister smile appeared on Karen’s face as she took out another set of documents.

She picked up her phone, ready to make a call.

Karen's call had not gone through yet when the maid entered the room. She carried a glass of water and her pills. "Madam, here's your medicine."

Karen put down her phone and picked up the small pill. After she swallowed it down with water, she dismissed the maid and said, "I need to rest. Close the door when you leave."

"Yes, Madam." The maid quickly left the room when she saw Karen had taken her pill, closing the door behind her.

Karen picked up her phone and dialed a number from the information.

After Luke found out that Myra bullied Luca, he instructed his lawyer to sue both Brigham and Myra, and there was no intention of settling out of court.

The Hudson family's business was in trouble after they upset Luke. Many orders had been canceled because of this lawsuit. The others were worried about provoking Luke by working together with the Hudson family, which could affect their own business. Other companies had all found excuses to end their partnerships.

Karen dialed Myra's number again.

"Who is this?" Myra answered the call again. Her tone was still not good as she had just argued with Brigham.

Since the company's business started having issues, Brigham's temper had been getting worse every day. He kept blaming her for offending Luca and Luke.

Their relationship had been further strained through these repeated arguments.

Hence, her tone grew even more impatient when she received another call from an unknown number.

"Myra, you don't need to know who I am. Just listen to me. I have a score to settle with Luke and Luca." Karen's tone was disdainful. She knew that those who knew who she was dared not to speak to her like how Myra did.

However, she did not want to reveal her identity too early.

After all, Myra was currently regretting her clash with Luca back then. What if Myra was worried about retaliating against Luca and informed her about it after finding out her identity and intentions?

Karen was not silly. She would not let Luca know her plans in advance.

She needed to catch them off guard and without any defenses for her strategy to work effectively.

Mrya, who was on the other end of the line, was stunned for a moment. A trace of resentment flashed across her eyes when she heard two of the names she least wanted to hear.

It was them who had made her life so tormenting now.

Not only was she quarreling with Brigham, but even Charlie was being ostracized by his classmates at school. He claimed that their parents had instructed their children not to play with Charlie. The Hudson family was dealt a bad hand!
