Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3010

However, she could not hold back and slapped Silas yesterday, which caused this matter to be postponed...

Karen felt annoyed again, knowing that her frustration would not go away easily. Today was bound to be a bad day for her. Hence, she said to the man, "Head to Master Percy’s house."

"Master Percy?" The man was puzzled. Even if she wanted to see Percy, he should be at the office now, not at home. He did not know that Percy was on a business trip. Thus, he reminded, "Madam Mallory, Master Percy should be at the office now."

"Who said I’m looking for him? Besides, he's away on a business trip. Just take me there." Karen felt dissatisfied because of the man's self-proclaimed cleverness.

The man quickly replied, "Yes, Madam. I'll take you there now."

Then, he made a left turn at the traffic light and headed toward Percy's place.

Outside the villa, Karen pressed the doorbell several times before someone came to open the door. Karen came face-to-face with a woman dressed in a maid's uniform. Frowning, she asked, "Are you the maid here?"

"I'm an hourly cleaning lady. May I ask if you're looking for the homeowner?" The maid was a little afraid when she sensed Karen's impatience.

She had finished cleaning and was preparing to leave. Unexpectedly, the doorbell rang while she was gathering all the trash bags to throw away. That was why it took her a bit longer to open the door.

"I'm the homeowner's mother, and I'm here to look for Nina Langdon," said Karen. Then, she pushed past the house cleaner, attempting to walk inside.

The house cleaner had never seen her come here before. Even though Karen claimed to be Percy’s mother, she did not feel comfortable letting a stranger in. She quickly stepped forward to block her path and said, "There's no one at home right now. I haven't seen you before, and I don't know if you're telling the truth. You can't go in."

Karen glared at the house cleaner. She was already surprised when the cleaner introduced herself at the door.

Could Percy not afford a full-time maid?

Now, this so-called cleaning lady was blocking her way. It made her even more frustrated. "My appearance speaks for itself!"

"There are no photos of you inside. You’re not allowed to go in. I can't afford the compensation if anything goes missing!" The house cleaner continued to block her path.

Despite Karen's confrontation, the cleaner was good at her job and managed to keep her at bay.

"What do you take me for?!" Karen widened her eyes. Was she being treated like a thief?

She felt provoked and thought the house cleaner in front of her was completely clueless.

With her attire and the luxury car at the entrance, how on earth could she be mistaken for a thief? She was clearly dressed in such an elegant manner!

The house cleaner also realized her words did not sound quite right. After all, Karen was wearing branded clothing and carrying a designer bag. There was also an expensive car at the door. It did not look like the typical appearance of a thief.

Even though she did not look like a thief, it looked like she came here looking for trouble.

She came in all aggressive, as though she wanted to give the owner of the house a piece of her mind.

The house cleaner said, "I don't care what you're here for, but there's no one inside right now. If I let you in and something happens, I'll lose my job. So, you can't go in. Otherwise, don't say I didn't warn you if I'm not as civil."

Even though she dared not to lay hands on someone claiming to be Percy's mother, she still needed to find a way to block her.

In case the person in front of her was indeed who she claimed to be, at least she did not resort to violence and had followed the protocol. Thus, the cleaning service company would not give her much trouble.

On the contrary, if the person turned out not to be who she claimed and the cleaner did not intervene, she would undoubtedly risk losing her job.

Karen halted her steps, furrowing her brows. "You're saying there's no one inside?"
