Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3249

Pierre looked at the person speaking. “He’s speaking up for you?”

Karen remained silent.

The subordinate who had spoken up also fell silent. Even though Karen had made many mistakes, the current issues were all because of Pierre.

The subordinate could not stand seeing Pierre provoke Karen and risk making her emotional, so he intervened.

Pierre pointed at the subordinate. “What’s his relationship to you?”

Unable to hold back any longer, Karen stepped forward, raised her hand, and slapped Pierre across the face.

“No matter what, I’m still your mother. I endured all this scolding from Old Master Mallory for you. You’re the one who had me kidnap Luca. I took all the blame for you, and this is how you treat me? Pierre, I’m your mother, not your tool! Are you out of your mind?” said Karen with a fiery tone.

She had taken all the blame for him, only to be treated this way!

Feeling deeply hurt, Karen felt she could not stay any longer. “Pierre, wake up! I owe you nothing! In fact, I’m your mother, and you owe me everything!”

Then, she grabbed her bag and left.

The subordinate glanced at Pierre, feeling helpless. He soon followed her out.

In the living room of Mallory Estate, an eerie silence prevailed.

Dr. Schwartz’s assistant, who had overheard everything from the staircase, felt like they were now in a deep pit.

Taking on the task of treating Pierre was clearly a mistake.

The assistant marveled at the complexities of the upper-class disputes.

People from wealthy families were truly heartless. Pierre was a prime example. He spoke so coldly to his own mother!

The assistant hurried upstairs to inform Dr. Schwartz of what had happened.

After a while, Dr. Schwartz came downstairs.

Pierre, sitting in his wheelchair, watched Dr. Schwartz and the assistant come down and asked, “Dr. Schwartz, where are you going?”

“I just remembered I forgot to bring some books. I’ll go back and get them, then I’ll come back,” answered Dr. Schwartz, giving a forced smile.

“What books? Just have my subordinates get them,” Pierre’s cold, piercing gaze locked onto him.

Dr. Schwartz felt an eerie sensation. It was as though if he were to take one more step forward, he might get torn to pieces by the person before him.

“I have quite a few books. It’s difficult for your people to find them.” Dr. Schwartz gave an excuse, but his anxious expression and the beads of sweat on his forehead betrayed him.

“Is that so?” Pierre looked at the assistant. “Your assistant must know.”

“Yes.” Dr. Schwartz nodded, glancing at the assistant with despair in his eyes.

He did not want to treat someone like Pierre! Especially with such a bizarre dry needling technique that he simply could not master!

“Then have my men send your assistant to get the books. Whatever you need, tell her, and she’ll bring it back,” said Pierre, tapping his fingers rhythmically on the armrest of his wheelchair.

“Just the books on naturopathy,” Dr. Schwartz, in his desperation, realized he could not escape. There was no way his assistant could escape too.

The assistant shivered and nodded. "I’ll go get them.”

“Send her.” Pierre casually assigned a man. “Make sure she returns with the books. Otherwise, Dr. Schwartz will be left here alone, and that’ll be exhausting.”

“Yes!” replied the man. He left with the assistant.

…

After leaving the villa, Karen had the driver head straight to Percy's house.

Pierre left her heart cold. Now, she suddenly felt like talking to Percy.

After all, despite his rebellion and his desire for Nina back then, he had never spoken to her the way Pierre did.

Although their mother-son bond had faded because of Nina, Percy still respected her.

At least, he did not disregard her like Pierre did.

Nina had just gotten up when she heard the doorbell.
