Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2946

Old Master Mallory knew that she wanted to do these things. Not only did he not stop her, but he also let her do as she pleased. Did that not mean he wanted to get rid of Luke Crawford as well?

Now that she was facing retaliation, he blamed her instead.

Despite feeling resentful, Karen could not show her emotions. She could only mutter, "I understand, Father."

"I'll give you a week. If you can't handle this matter well, get out of the Mallory family. We can't afford to lose our reputation because of you," said Old Master Mallory. Then, he rose to his feet and walked toward the study.

Old Master Mallory had not even eaten breakfast early in the morning because he did not want to see her gloomy face.

As Karen watched Old Master Mallory leave from behind, she clenched her fists in silence.

How could she resolve this matter?

She had to find the man who was spreading rumors everywhere and rip his mouth apart!

Karen stormed upstairs angrily. She could not handle this matter personally. She needed someone to help.

The maid watched Karen go upstairs and helplessly turned to Mr. Griffin. "Mr. Griffin, there are so many reporters outside the front gate. How are we supposed to leave?”

She needed to buy groceries for the Mallory family today.

Mr. Griffin rubbed his forehead, troubled by the situation. He could only suggest, "If it's not possible to leave through the front gate, then let's go out through the back door.”

The back door was smaller. Vehicles could not pass through it, but this was better than nothing.

The maid usually used the Mallory family's car for grocery shopping or running errands, but it was not practical given the current situation.

"Alright, I'll go buy groceries first." The maid could not say anything about it. There were reporters outside the front gate. If she went out through the front gate, the reporters out there might even barge in shamelessly if given the chance.

The thought sent a shiver down her spine.

It was like a scene from a zombie apocalypse movie…

Both Mallory Manor and Crawford Manor were built on private land. They did not have the management of a gated community. Apart from the Mallory family's security guards at the gate, there was no property management staff to drive away the reporters.

With so many reporters out there, even the security guards could not handle them all. Therefore, they could only guard the gate to prevent the reporters from barging in.

On the other hand, when Luca returned to the company, there were a few female employees in the elevator.

As they watched Luca walk into the elevator, they greeted her, "Good morning, Dr. Craw."

"Good morning." Luca knew that she had become a celebrity within the company. With T Corporation's public clarification, it was impossible for anyone not to recognize her now.

She could still figure out the thoughts of her colleagues.

However, in their minds, the clarification by Luke was insignificant because the news about the Mallory family's daughter-in-law was even more sensational.

They started discussing it openly.

"Have you seen the news about the Mallory family's daughter-in-law?" One employee began as there were no Mallory family members present in the elevator. Even though Luca was still there, the company had no rule against discussing gossip about people outside the company.

Hence, they enthusiastically started discussing it.

"I saw it, I saw it! Who would have thought that the dignified Madam Mallory would have such a hidden side to her? I wonder how many times she's cuckolded her husband?"

"Seriously, I read in the reports that this happened before they got married," another person chimed in.

"Even so, it's still scandalous. Think about how simple people were in those days. She casually dated a poor guy and even..." the female employee hesitated, refusing to mention their intimate relationship.

Even though what the man said was amorous, there was no concrete evidence. Hence, she continued, "They were so close. In those times, if a man acted like a scoundrel, they could easily label him as such."
