Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3251

As Karen listened to him, she stumbled back two steps.

“What gives you the right to accuse me?” Her once-clear eyes now showed a hint of madness.

Percy frowned. It seemed she still did not realize her mistake.

“You think you did nothing wrong? Everything Pierre is doing now is to show you that you messed up! Your job isn’t to cover for him but to make him understand that mistakes come with consequences.

"Now, you can’t even go back to Mallory Manor because of him. Mom, how much more can you afford to lose?” asked Percy.

Karen collapsed onto the couch, covering her face as she wept.

Percy’s words had hit her where it hurt the most.

Indeed. As she had been busy handling Pierre’s messes, she had lost the status that should have belonged to the matriarch of the Mallory family.

She had always thought she was better than Nina. However, she was in the same boat now, maybe even worse.

Karen broke down in tears!

Nina might not have a powerful family backing her, but she had an exceptional husband like Percy.

Karen? Now, she had nothing left, not even a husband who loved her.

Daryl Mallory, her husband, was in love with another woman abroad!

Moreover, she had failed to educate Pierre.

The Ruiz family was still in A City, but she had long since cut ties with them. She was left with nothing now.

Percy watched with cold indifference as Karen sobbed.

He knew her too well. This was not regret or sorrow for what she had done. It was simply the pain of losing so much.

She lost a prominent position as well as the old master’s trust.

Still, Karen was better off than most. At least, she had shares in Mallory Corporation and had saved a decent amount over the years.

As long as she did not stir up more trouble, Percy would still ensure she was taken care of in her old age.

Hence, as Karen cried, Percy showed no sympathy.

He just watched it all unfold with indifference.

Karen cried until she was exhausted.

Meanwhile, Nina, who had been hiding in the bedroom, got tired of waiting and came downstairs.

When she saw Karen’s red, swollen eyes, she was startled for a moment.

This woman had always been such a high-and-mighty figure!

She was arrogant toward everyone, and she would go wild when upset but never cry. To her, crying was the ultimate sign of weakness. However, Karen was crying now. She was crying her heart out, utterly devastated.

“Let me get some water,” said Nina.

Percy initially wanted to ask her why she came down.

Nevertheless, seeing that Karen was no longer a threat, he just nodded.

Nina fetched a glass of water from the kitchen and handed it to Karen.

Karen, with her eyes red and swollen, looked at Nina and then pushed the glass away. With a loud crash, the glass hit the floor and shattered, spilling water everywhere.

Nina’s head buzzed with fear that Karen might attack her, and she quickly stepped behind Percy for safety.

Karen sniffled, looking disheveled. However, her eyes still held a hint of pride as she looked at Nina. “I don’t need your fake concern!”

Nina could not help but laugh, more out of frustration than anything. She thought Karen would appreciate the gesture, given how upset she seemed. Also, it was only because Karen was Percy’s mother that she even bothered to bring her a glass of water.
