Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2945

"Father, that's all in the past. Before marrying Daryl Mallory, I had completely cut ties with that man!" Karen knew that denying her past was useless now, especially since the other party had brought out the photos.

Even though that man's appearance had changed significantly over the years, Karen had taken good care of herself. Her appearance was not much different from her younger days.

Hence, anyone could easily tell it was her in those photos.

Old Master Mallory took a drag of his cigar, exhaling slowly with a hint of disgust in his weathered, sharp eyes. He did not easily get deceived by Karen.

"When your family and the Mallory family arranged the marriage, you assured me that you were a good woman with no messy relationships. You said you'd pass the background check and that you were worthy of Daryl. I still remember those words.

"I believed the Ruiz family's nonsense and arranged the wedding without investigation. This led to misunderstandings between Daryl and me over the years. He has been abroad all this time while you were here, using Daryl as an excuse for your actions.

"Karen, what do you take our Mallory family for? Are you playing games with all of us?"

Previously, even though means of communication were not as advanced as they were now, if Old Master Mallory had investigated, he would have discovered Karen's past entanglements with several men.

However, the Ruiz family had a good reputation in A City at that time, and Old Master Mallory chose to trust them.

After he saw the news report, he suddenly recalled how Daryl used to fool around and the way Daryl hesitated to speak when he tried to educate him.

Perhaps Daryl had known about Karen's true nature all along. That was why he used this situation to get back at her.

Otherwise, Daryl would not have turned out the way he did.

"Father, I swear, I haven't done anything to hurt Daryl since we got together!” Karen raised her hand and swore. She was emotionally worked up. “If I ever did anything to betray Daryl Mallory since we tied the knot, may the heavens strike me down!"

Even when Daryl wronged her in the past and left her alone, she endured it.

After all, she had her fair share of screw-ups back then.

When Daryl went abroad and had an affair with that woman, she felt lonely, but she never thought about being with other men.

It was because she had to maintain her position in the Mallory family.

If she had been with someone else and Old Master Mallory found out about it, he could have her kicked out of the Mallory family at any moment.

Karen could not imagine what kind of life she would have had outside the Mallory family. That was why she endured the loneliness and never did something like that.

Old Master Mallory trusted Karen previously.

Even though she was emotionally unstable and prone to trouble, he trusted her.

However, that trust crumbled when he saw the news. Old Master Mallory put out his cigar, as it was no longer helping him to maintain his composure.

"For all these years, I never had someone keep an eye on you. I don't know if there were other men besides this one. Now, the Mallory family's reputation has been tarnished because of you.

"Karen, tell me honestly, are Percy and Pierre really Daryl's sons?" Old Master Mallory’s voice was deep. He questioned her with a voice filled with anger and suspicion.

Karen's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately rose to her feet. “Father, I've told you before, I severed ties with that man before marrying Daryl. I didn't cheat or do anything like that!"

"Are Percy and Pierre really descendants of the Mallory family?" Old Master Mallory did not want to hear her explanations. He only wanted to know if he had unknowingly raised someone else's grandchildren.

A wave of humiliation surged within her, and Karen clenched her fists. "They're both Daryl Mallory’s sons! If you don't believe me, you can have them undergo a DNA test!"

Karen was resolute about this point.

For one, both Percy and Pierre resembled Daryl.

Secondly, she did not cheat on her husband. The two kids must definitely be Daryl's.
