Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2958

Karen glanced at the steaming black coffee and looked up at Ms. Tucker, who was standing beside her.

Ms. Tucker was staring at her as if she was scrutinizing her.

Karen felt uncomfortable being looked at, so she frowned and said, “Go do what you have to do. Don’t stand there and look at me.”

Ms. Tucker was startled at her suggestion as she could not leave the office when Karen was inside. If anything went missing, she would be in trouble.

Ms. Tucker knew that Karen favored Pierre and much preferred him to be the CEO.

“Mrs. Mallory, do you need anything else?” Ms. Tucker did not respond to her previous statement, nor did she leave the office.

Karen rolled her eyes as she knew that she was keeping an eye on her, so she ignored her question. She thought to herself that once Pierre was in control of Mallory Corporation, the people who worked for Percy would have to scram.

The thought of that made her feel as if that day would be coming soon. She looked at the photo frames on the table and sneered without saying anything else.

Ms. Tucker stood by the door, watching Karen’s every move.

However, Karen did nothing else other than glare sinisterly at those photo frames, as if the people inside those photos had committed a grave crime.

Ms. Tucker was relieved.

If Karen had done anything else, she would not know how to stop her.

After more than ten minutes, two sets of footsteps came closer and closer. Finally, Ms. Tucker was able to calm down. She looked toward the door. “Mr. Mallory, Madam Mallory has been waiting for you.”

Percy's assistant had already told him beforehand that Karen was here, so he did not show much surprise when he walked into the office.

His assistant did not follow him in. Instead, he gestured to Ms. Tucker.

Ms. Tucker waited for Percy to enter the office before closing the door and walking out.

The assistant stood beside her and muttered, “How could you let Mrs. Mallory into Mr. Mallory’s office!”

He knew that Karen was unhappy about Percy being the CEO of Mallory Corporation. If she stole any confidential information, it would affect Percy’s management of the company.

Ms. Tucker felt wronged and said resignedly, “Mrs. Mallory wanted to go in, and I couldn’t stop her. But she behaved herself…”

She did not finish her sentence.

Karen was still considered well-mannered as she did not try to pull anything in there.

“Be careful next time. Mr. Mallory may not blame you this time, but he will not go easy on you next time.” The assistant saw how helpless Ms. Tucker looked, so he knew that it was out of her control.

No matter how bad their relationship was, Madam Mallory was still Mr. Mallory’s mother.

In the office, Percy sat on the leather office chair and nonchalantly glanced at Karen without a trace of emotion on his face. “Is there something wrong, Mother?”

Karen had said before that if he did not break it off with Nina, she would treat him as if he did not exist. Despite that, he still called her 'Mother'.

He still had some filial love left for her.

Karen glanced coldly at the photo frames on the table and wanted to make a fuss about them, but she suppressed the urge in order to solve her own problems right now.

Besides, Old Master Mallory had not given her much time.

“I’m sure you’ve seen the reports. I was indeed in love with that man when I was younger, but I’m the daughter of a respectable family. When I was with your father, I cut off all contact with him, so everything on the internet is fake.

"Both you and Pierre are children of the Mallory family, so you must settle this matter for me.” Although Karen was here to ask Percy for help, her tone was still as arrogant as ever, as if Percy was obligated to help her solve this matter.

Percy opened up a file as he listened to Karen talk, his face expressionless.
