Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2908

”We’ll let the police look into it,” said Percy as there was no other way to go about this.

They could have transferred Pierre if they had known earlier, but the Island of Despair did not give them that chance. Now that it was too late, none of their plans would work, and all their efforts would just be in vain.

“No!” That was the word Karen repeated the most tonight. Unlike her ladylike self, she stood up and fiercely stared at Percy, “Percy Mallory, how cruel could you be to send Pierre in there to suffer? I won’t allow this!”

She reckoned that Percy was trying to send Pierre in there so that he could seize all of the Mallory family’s assets with that woman.

Nina, that bitch! Who did she think she was to take away everything the Mallory family owned? She would never let this happen!

Percy’s expression was icy cold, and he did not say a word when he met Karen’s enraged face.

The director stood aside as he wiped off his sweat. He had heard that the Mallory family was not happy about Percy’s wife, so the elders of the family favored Pierre now.

Thus, it was not a surprise that the Mallory family would be upset with what Percy said.

However, there was indeed no other way but to sit and wait for the police to look into it.

Karen snorted after Percy kept quiet. She did not care about outsiders witnessing the quarrel between mother and son. “Percy, you were the one who did this to Pierre, so you should be the one to be locked up! Go to the police station and turn yourself in for committing all of these crimes.”

The director wondered what she meant by crimes.

Several of the high-ranking managers dropped their heads out of embarrassment. Although they were interested in gossip, they dared not gossip about the Mallory family.

They wished that they had ear plugs so they would not be able to hear the mother and son’s conversation.

“Calm down.” Percy was reminded of Karen’s madness a few days ago after seeing her getting worked up.

It seemed like Karen was unable to calm down whenever Pierre was involved.

He had consulted a psychotherapist about her condition before, and the reason Karen was like this was that she could not accept the fact that she had failed in raising her children. When she failed to stop his marriage with Nina, she felt defeated.

Karen was the type to not be able to accept defeat, so when Percy and Nina got married, she mentally disowned Percy. She refused to believe that she had raised him, and she even thought that he was not her own. Thus, she pinned all her hopes on Pierre.

Therefore, when something happened to Pierre, Karen was unable to bear the hardship. She became insanely paranoid.

She was afraid of losing Pierre and admitting that she had failed in raising her children.

All of it could be traced back to the betrayal of Karen’s husband, who was also Percy and Pierre's father.

“Calm down? How could you be so calm right now? Is Pierre not your brother? How could you treat him like this? How could you? Percy, how I wish you were the one who got kidnapped, had your leg broken, and is wanted by the police!” When Karen was out of her mind, she did not care about the absurdity of her words.

The expression on Percy’s face was grim. One should not wash one's dirty linen in public, but Karen was showing everyone all of the Mallory family’s dirty linen.

Although he did not mind, Old Master Mallory cared most about the reputation of the Mallory family.

Percy could feel the veins in his forehead pulsing. Then, he looked at the director. “Can I borrow your office?”

“Yes, of course.” The director understood what he meant. He nodded to several of the hospital managers before they all left together.

The door of the office closed. Percy stared at Karen, who was about to go crazy.

When Karen met his gaze, fear crept into her heart, but she thought that it was ridiculous for a mother to be afraid of her own son. She scolded him, “Do you think you can solve the problem by sending them away? Let me tell you something. If you let Pierre be taken away by those pigs, I’ll never let you get away with it!”

By pigs, she meant police. It was an offensive term for policemen.

Percy frowned as she did not care about anything when she was insane.
