Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3227

”Mandy, aren't you the reason why I’m in here?!” Leia rose to her feet, glaring fiercely at Mandy on the top bunk.

“If it weren't for you involving me in those things, would I have ended up like this?”

Mandy chuckled disdainfully, finding it the most absurd thing she had ever heard.

“Leia, if you didn't have it in you, you wouldn't have involved yourself no matter what I said to you. Besides, it was your own request, remember? You wanted Matysh's men to harm your foster parents. How could you forget that?

"You're blaming others now after coming up with the plan yourself? You're shameless, blaming others for something you did to your own foster parents. Who do you think you are?”

Leia clenched her fists tightly but did not strike.

She was injured now. Mandy could hurt her anywhere with just a touch, making her no match for her.

“Oh, Leia. You truly are cheap to your core!” sneered Mandy.

Mandy was deeply envious after knowing Leia’s family background. If only she had Leia's family, she would not have ended up like this.

How long could she rely on men to get money? Mandy knew it was a temporary meal ticket. In another two years, those wealthy men would not even consider her anymore.

That was why she planned to make as much money as possible while she still had her looks. That was why she wanted to cling to Matysh.

Now, Mandy regretted it all.

Leia sneered, “I'm cheap? At most, I just don't know any better. Mandy, you're the one who's cheap to the core. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be in this situation today. You won't end up well, Mandy!”

Mandy nodded. “Yeah, after we get out, everyone's gonna be old news. It’s not gonna end well for anyone, but you’re not going to be living the high life either. Just picturing you walking out with me, looking all homeless and pathetic, is just hilarious. From high society to a bum, hahaha. It's karma in action.”

Leia grabbed her clothes as her expression darkened.

She had said a few harsh words to Queenie today, but she did not think much of it.

Despite Queenie's favoritism, she still cared for her. Leia believed that soon enough, Queenie would come back around and seek her favor again.

That was why she was not afraid.

However, Mandy's words continued to sting her.

Suddenly, a vision flashed through her mind. After being released, her family rejected her, Queenie ignored her, and she was alone in a rented room, staring at her dwindling bank balance.

“Shut up!” Leia shouted loudly, wanting to tell Mandy that she would return to the Norman family after her release. Still, she could not bring herself to say it.

During this time in confinement, Jack could have easily used his connections to help her live more comfortably here, but he had not done anything like that.

Her days here were tough as she was bullied repeatedly by those people, yet she could not even change her cell.

Even if she moved somewhere else, Jack might not help her then either.

Mandy had mocked her enough and seemed tired. She lay on the bed and ignored her.

Leia glared at Mandy intensely, itching to climb up there and smack her across the face.

However, reason told her not to even if she had the chance. Tomorrow, she would leave here and begin her formal sentence.

Causing trouble now would not be worth it.

Mandy turned away, watching Leia still standing there with a gloomy expression. She was unafraid that she might do something.

“Leia, feeling all pent up, huh? I advise you to let it go. If you lay a hand on me now, you'll be the one in trouble,” said Mandy.

She let out a yawn and added, “Back in New York, I used to be your little sidekick. Who would've thought I'd see you in such a sorry state now? Oh, by the way, remember how you stole my man before? The guy who got bored of me that you thought was a prize? You didn't know, right? He's sick. I hadn't slept with him for ages before you took him away. He had so many issues, yet you still treasured him so much.

Was she here to talk about performing dry needling on Pierre again?

After the threats she made last time, how dare she come back looking for her?

“Dr. Craw, should I turn her away?” asked Mo.

Luca really did not want to see her.

“Should I tell her you're not available?” Mo asked again.

However, the thought of not seeing her might prompt Karen to come back more aggressively. Who knew what extreme measures she might take?

Luca shook her head. “Where is she?”

“She's in the second-floor meeting room,” answered Mo. Since this floor was restricted to strangers, Mo led Karen to the meeting room on the second floor.

Regardless of whether Luca was meeting her or not, people like Karen were not to be offended lightly. Proper etiquette had to be observed.

“Okay,” replied Luca, taking off her coat. “Ms. Stone, please inform the lab team that I'll be there later. Let them continue with their work for now.”

She had planned a brief meeting with her research team to discuss today's tasks, but Karen's unexpected visit had disrupted her plans.

“Sure.” Mo left the office.

Luca followed, heading to the second floor.

When she walked into the meeting room, she saw Karen sitting on the couch.

Even though she was sitting down, Luca could tell she was clearly uneasy.
