Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2911

Karen furrowed her brows. She was about to give Nina a hard time, but then she heard Percy say, "I can send you back to Mallory Manor now if you’re not going to bed."

Karen frowned, about to explode in anger. Then, she heard him continue, "You went to the hospital to visit Pierre without informing Grandpa. You almost caused a disaster. Let him handle the rest."

Karen understood what he meant. She gave a cold snort and said, "Stop threatening me."

Then, she rose to her feet with her chin slightly lifted. She looked at Nina with an arrogant look on her face. "Take me upstairs."

Nina glanced at Percy. Then, she turned around and led Karen upstairs.

When they reached the door of the guest room, Nina stepped aside and said, "Madam Mallory, this is your room."

Karen let out another cold snort and pushed the door open with her fingertips. She did not even want to touch the doorknob, as if it was dirty.

Nina noticed her disdainful behavior but chose not to comment. At first, she wanted to tell her that the entire villa was regularly cleaned, but she held her tongue.

It was not the cleanliness of the room that Karen disapproved of; it was Nina she was finding fault with.

If she were not Percy's birth mother, Nina would surely have taken action.

Karen looked at the room's furnishings and snorted in dissatisfaction. "I sleep on a Hastens Vividus mattress, and I only use silk bedding."

"The mattress’ brand is Hastens Vividus, and the four-piece set is produced abroad by Beverly Hills Polo Club," answered Nina calmly. Everything prepared for the guest room was of the highest standard. The things here were even more expensive than the things in the master bedroom.

Neither she nor Percy cared about these luxurious things as long as they slept comfortably.

A hint of darkness flashed across Karen’s eyes when she heard this. She walked into the room to check. Indeed, everything was as Nina told her.

Moreover, they were all authentic, not knock-offs. The brands were the same as the ones in Mallory Manor.

Karen could not help but wonder how Nina had prepared all of this. Could these things have been prepared in advance?

"These are all new, Madam Mallory. We just sent them for dry cleaning once after purchasing," added Nina. She stood at the entrance without entering the room.

She refused to give Karen any opportunity to find fault with her.

Nina was not foolish.

Karen let out another cold snort. She did not have much of a reaction to Nina's preparations, except that she thought Nina was scheming to please her by preparing all of this in advance.

She walked into the bathroom and saw the new toiletries and shower gel Nina mentioned earlier. They were all her preferred brands.

Karen's eyes darkened even further. "These are what I typically use."

"I’m glad you’re satisfied with them." Nina was not expecting a compliment from her. She did not let it go to her head, and her tone remained calm with a touch of indifference.

"Yes. The whole world knows how scheming you are. Only Percy seems to be completely under your spell. You must be feeling pretty proud, huh?" Karen's tone was filled with resentment.

She wished she could tear Nina apart. If this woman did not exist, Percy would still be her obedient son. He would not go against the entire Mallory family for a woman.

Percy's current behavior made Karen feel like she had failed in raising her children.

No, it was not her failure. She never really had a chance to raise him for long. It was Old Master Mallory who nurtured him…

In just an instant, Karen shifted all the blame to Old Master Mallory. It was just like what her therapist had told her.

"Madam Mallory, get some rest," said Nina. She lowered her gaze, not showing any reaction to Karen's provocative remarks.

"Hah, I hit the nail on the head, didn't I? Are you feeling guilty now?" Karen noticed Nina's silence. She was different from the way she used to be. Karen thought Nina was putting on an act earlier because Percy was there. It further fuelled her belief that Nina was feeling guilty.
