Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3025

"Hmph, you sure as heck want me to be asleep, don't you? As long as I'm out cold, no one will be around to settle scores with you, right?"

Old Master Mallory lifted his gaze ever so slightly, peering at her face adorned with an ingratiating smile. His gaze took on a subtle chill.

"Father, what in the world are you talking about? I can't make heads or tails of it." Karen's smiling face froze for a moment. Even though she claimed not to understand, deep down, she knew what he was talking about.

"Show her the documents." Old Master Mallory ignored Karen's act of ignorance and spoke to Mr. Bennet.

Karen looked at Mr. Bennet, realizing for the first time that he was holding a stack of documents.

Mr. Bennet handed the documents to Karen. "Madam, please take a look."

Karen furrowed her brows and opened the documents. Just by reading the beginning, she knew what kind of information it contained.

These were the documents Luke sent to Old Master Mallory. It was the evidence of Karen, along with Margaret and Myra, leaking the rumored relationship between Luke and Luca to the press.

Karen's hands trembled slightly. Before she saw these documents, she thought the conspiracy she had orchestrated was flawless. However, Luke had gathered so much evidence. Not only that, he had given it all to Old Master Mallory...

Karen felt a surge of anger with nowhere to vent.

She had no evidence to prove what Luke had done. On the flip side, she believed she had been discreet about what she did.

Even the locations she picked for discussions were places she was familiar with, like that coffee shop. It seemed impossible for anyone to eavesdrop on those conversations.

However, Luke’s people still managed to dig up the dirt.

She had spent a fortune on this too. Why was the person she hired so different from Luke's men?

Karen closed the documents, choosing not to delve further. Even if she did, she knew it would not make much difference because the evidence was right there. Continuing to read would not alter the current situation.

"Father..." Karen sat on the single sofa on the other side, awkwardly putting the documents back on the coffee table.

"Did I not warn you before you did this? I told you not to act recklessly. I told you not to go after Luke. Did I not remind you?" Old Master Mallory did not give her a chance to argue.

Karen lowered her eyes slightly, reluctantly nodding.

People often thought they might get lucky, and she was no exception. When Old Master Mallory warned and reminded her, she thought being a bit more careful would prevent Luke from finding her trail.

That way, she could also help Pierre vent his frustrations.

"So what did you do?" Old Master Mallory pointed at the documents on the table.

"Did you think doing things on the sly would be a seamless plan? Others have long seen through everything you've done. Do you think you're capable? Karen, after you married into the Mallory family, I cleaned up a lot of messes for you because of Daryl's mistake.

"People see you as the savvy daughter-in-law of the Mallory family, but how many messes have I cleaned up for you? Not only did you not listen to me, but you also provoked Luke at a time like this.

"Today, you went to him with your so-called evidence, right? Did you succeed in making him admit to what he did? Did you succeed in getting an apology?

“From what I know, not only did you not succeed, but you were also asked to leave. I know about all the foolish things you've done. Just because of what you've done, I don't even have the courage to face those friends of mine. Karen, you've really embarrassed me!"

Karen's face changed, alternating between white and red as she received the scolding.

She did not think what she did was that serious, but she had to let the old master cool down.
