Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3148

"When I first went to the restroom, I ran into Madam Mallory." Luca had no choice but to confess.

Luke frowned. "Karen?"

His gaze immediately fell on Percy.

"I didn't say anything." Percy knew what Luke wanted to know. Now, he only wanted to live peacefully with Nina. If Karen did not agree to their marriage, then she should not be involved in their lives.

Therefore, there was no way he would tell Karen he would be hosting a dinner here.

"She's investigating you," said Luke.

Percy shook his head, indicating there was nothing he could do about it.

Karen wanted to investigate him and have his whereabouts tracked, but he could not do anything about it.

The key was, Percy did not expect Karen to follow him here just because he organized a dinner party. What was she up to?

Percy turned to look at Luca again, figuring she might know the answer.

Luca let go of Nina's hand, sat back in her seat, and said, "I don't know how she found out that I had previously used dry needling to treat Tyrone and help him recover. She wanted me to treat Pierre, but I refused."

"Rejecting her was the right decision," replied Percy.

Pierre had done so many wrongs. Not only did he kidnap Luca, but he also attempted to compete with Luke using unfair means.

Luca’s true identity was Bianca, and Bianca was Luke's wife. Who would agree to help someone who had harmed their interests so much?

Percy knew Luca's capabilities. He was reluctant to see Pierre become disabled, but he also did not want to shamelessly ask Luca for help.

He could ask Johann to help with the surgery or ask doctors from various hospitals to treat Pierre, but he could not bring himself to ask Luke or Luca to treat Pierre.

Luke let out a snort. "So, your mother investigated and followed you, and her target is Luca?"

"Sorry, I didn't expect this either." Percy gave him a bitter smile. Karen could really do anything for Pierre’s sake.

Previously, Karen had always been high and mighty. She relied on the Mallory family's connections and hardly needed to bow to anyone.

Now, Karen was asking for Luca’s help...

Percy did not even think such a day would come.

Luca continued, "Actually, after I refused, the matter was over. I accompanied Nina to the restroom earlier, fearing she might run into Madam Mallory. Though we didn't see her, we saw that the mirrors in the restroom were smashed."

Percy furrowed his brows. The mirrors were smashed? What did that mean?

He looked at Nina.

"I guess your mother felt unhappy after she got rejected, so she smashed the mirrors. But we looked around the restroom and found no tools to break the mirrors. We don't know how she did it," Nina explained to him.

"If the manager finds out the mirrors are broken, they'll watch the surveillance footage later. There are cameras at the entrance of the restroom. But in that case, both Luca and I will be suspected… That’s why I’d like to ask the two CEOs, what should we do?"

Luke looked at Percy without saying a word.

However, Percy understood what his gaze meant. It was his mother who had smashed the mirrors, so he had to deal with it himself.

Percy let out a helpless sigh. Karen could cause trouble for him even when he was only having a meal. He pressed the bell near him.

In no time, the waitress standing at the door walked in and asked, "Mr. Mallory, is there anything I can help you with?"

"I’d like to talk to your manager," replied Percy. This matter needed to be discussed with the manager.

"You’d like to talk to the manager? Is there something wrong with my service?" The waitress became nervous when she heard Percy saying that he wanted to see the manager.
