Ch. 3121..3130

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 3121-"I…" Silas hesitated for quite a while, but he still could not come up with a name.

Before the press conference, Karen warned him not to mention the name Luke Crawford. That was why Silas did not know how to answer the reporters' questions now.

Who made him do this?

Karen said it was Luke, but there was no evidence to indicate that it was he who instructed Silas to say those words and do those things in front of the reporters.

"Mr. Gray? Why aren't you speaking? Is there something you can't say? Or are you implying this whole deal is just smoke and mirrors? If that’s the case, what did Ms. Karen's words earlier mean? Who's really telling the truth here?" The reporter’s questions grew sharper as she began to question what Karen said earlier.

Karen could no longer hold back. She snapped, "Nonsense!"

As soon as she spoke, everyone looked at Karen in surprise.

Was this still the elegant Madam Mallory? The image of Karen, shaped by recent events, was being overturned time and time again in their minds…

"Madam Mallory," reminded Anthony in a low voice. They were facing so many reporters. It was not the time to get angry.

Karen took a deep breath and gripped the tablecloth tightly. Her nails caught on the silk fabric, causing it to fray.

"Tell them what really happened." Karen decided not to speak any more to avoid coming off too abrasive and giving these reporters something to blow out of proportion.

Besides, these reporters were going to challenge her anyway. If she said another word now, it might become a flaw for others to exploit later.

"Ah, right." Silas looked bewildered, not knowing what to say. Hence, he decided to ignore the reporters' questions and take all the blame himself.

Silas claimed he was living a difficult life and wanted to gain some benefits from Karen, but he did not expect to cause such a big fuss. He also did not expect so many people to read the news, which meant he did not get any benefits but even faced the risk of being sued.

Silas did not understand all this. He learned it from watching TV recently.

He was clever. Otherwise, he would not have been able to deceive Karen when he was young. Therefore, the story he fabricated could barely convince the reporters.

"I have a question." The reporter who asked questions earlier raised her hand after Silas finished speaking.

At this moment, Anthony decided not to give him any more opportunities. He said to the reporters, "Ladies and gentlemen, the situation is indeed as Mr. Silas described. We will also hold Mr. Silas legally responsible.

"If there are any further developments, we'll contact the media. This press conference is now concluded. Everyone, please ensure your reporting is thorough and accurate. Kindly pick up your gifts at the door and exit in an orderly manner."

"Is that all?" Another reporter, analyzing Karen's words based on the earlier questions, suspected something fishy about this. Hence, he wanted to delve deeper.

Before they had a chance to raise their own questions, the press conference was already over?

The press conference ended abruptly, and it caught them off guard. Besides, what was there to report? There was nothing sensational about this.

It was truly a waste of their time. These matters could have been announced on their company's website instead of announcing it in a press conference.

There was no need to make such a big scene. Was it not a waste of resources and time?

Anthony noticed the reporters' dissatisfaction and realized they wanted to dig deeper into the story. Therefore, he said, "Ladies and gentlemen, there are substantial shopping vouchers available at the entrance. Every reporter present today is entitled to one.

"Please line up in an orderly fashion to collect the gifts prepared by Madam Mallory, then kindly exit."

When they heard about the large shopping vouchers, many reporters' eyes lit up.

The first person ready to leave took the shopping voucher handed over by the staff. It was a 2,000dollar supermarket voucher. She could not help but exclaim, "Two grand! How generous."

Just a moment ago, the reporter who felt dissatisfied brightened up when he heard it was a 2,000-dollar shopping voucher. Even though this amount meant little to the Mallory family, for these reporters, it meant a lot in terms of what they could buy at the supermarket.

Thus, he simply queued up without saying anything more.

Even the reporter who had been targeting Karen just now left with a shopping voucher.

Karen looked displeased and asked the person beside her, "Which media company did that reporter who spoke earlier belong to?"

"I checked, and it's the New Youth Daily," answered Anthony. His expression also turned sour.

It was his negligence. He had not carefully verified the media affiliations of the reporters before allowing them in.

The New Youth Daily was a small newspaper under T Corporation.

It was Luke's attempt to trouble Karen.

"What's going on? How could someone from this media company be allowed in?" Karen's eyes filled with hostility at the thought of Luke. The mere mention of his name stirred up hatred within her.

"Sorry, Madam. It was our negligence. We didn't realize this media company hadn’t received an invitation yet still sent a reporter over to join and…" He ended up making things difficult for Karen.

Anthony did not continue because Karen's expression was very gloomy at that moment.

"You let people in without verifying. Do you know how embarrassed I am?"

Karen glared fiercely at Anthony.

"Sorry, Madam." Anthony could only apologize. He did not know what else to say.

"Hmph, keep an eye on the reports from this media company. If there's anything unusual, inform me immediately." Karen clenched her fists. She wished she could punch the man in front of her.

If it were not for his negligence, would she have been embarrassed like this?

That reporter was one of Luke's subordinates!

Karen wondered how today's events would be reported after all those questions that were asked.

She vaguely had a bad feeling about it.

"Yes!" Anthony nodded. Even if Karen did not say it, he knew he had to keep a close watch on that media outlet.

Otherwise, they would not know how the reporter would report today's events.

Karen's gaze fell on Silas. With all the reporters gone now, Karen said nonchalantly, "Close the door."

"Yes.” Anthony instructed the others through the intercom. After a while, a voice came from the intercom, "The door has been closed."

Silas could feel his hair stand on end and his body tremble while Karen stared at him. He could not help but feel afraid.

"Madam Mallory…" He wanted to plead for mercy, but as soon as he called out to her, scenes from when they used to date immediately flashed through his mind.

Karen was so beautiful and kind-hearted back then. She never got angry with him, let alone hit him.

However, now?

Now, Karen was like a demon from hell. The way she looked at him, it was as though she wanted to tear him to pieces.

"Take him in," ordered Karen. She rose to her feet and walked in first.

The two men immediately lifted Silas while ignoring any resistance. They dragged him into the living room.

"Madam Mallory, I was wrong. I've straightened things out with the reporters, so please spare me

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 3122-Silas looked at Karen sitting on the couch as though she was a Grim Reaper about to snatch his soul. He started banging his head on the floor, begging for mercy like there was no tomorrow.

Everyone present could not help but secretly curse Silas for being such a coward when they saw him like this.

The more he acted like this, the more different he seemed from the Silas of the past.

Karen was extremely disgusted, not only with everything happening now but also with her past with Silas. She instructed her subordinates, "Bring the knife over."

Silas was shocked when he heard this and intensified his banging on the floor.

Karen's subordinates were also taken aback for a moment and quickly asked, "Madam, what are you planning to do?"

"I'm going to kill him!" Karen felt that her current situation was Silas' fault.

Therefore, she had to personally put an end to this man to rid herself of the resentment in her heart.

Karen had never killed anyone before. It was not that she had never entertained such thoughts, but she had never done such a thing.

However, Silas not only provoked such thoughts in her but even made her think of carrying out such an act. Karen even thought that as long as the final blow was not dealt by her own hand, what happened after that had nothing to do with her.

Her subordinates were rendered speechless when they heard what she said.

This woman seemed to be acting on a whim again.

Not to mention Karen, even they had never done something like this too. If they handed her the knife, what if someone accidentally ended up dead?

"Madam, the Mallory family can't afford any more trouble now. You can't kill this man!" Anthony reminded her in a low voice, knowing that only the Mallory family could restrain Karen.

Karen glared fiercely at him. "Are you lecturing me?"

"I dare not, Madam. It's just that you've told the reporters that you'll hold this person accountable legally. If you accidentally kill him, how can you pursue that? You've seen for yourself that Luke even sent reporters to give you trouble today.

"If this man dies and they find out, who knows what kind of news they might stir up? That’s why you can't do this…" reminded Anthony in a hushed tone.

When Karen lost her rationality, she tended to act recklessly.

His duty was to remind her of what she could not do.

If he could persuade her, he would. Even if not, he still had to try. He had done many things that offended his employer.

However, Karen did not have anyone else reliable by her side, so even if he offended her, he would not lose his job.

He considered it somewhat fortunate.

Karen took a deep breath. As she listened to the man's words, she knew he was speaking sense.

However, she could not calm the anger in her heart if she did not teach Silas a lesson.

Anthony knew what she was thinking, so he reminded her, "Madam, if you really want to vent, just beat him up. But remember, don't hit his head."

Initially, Silas was relieved that he had escaped death because of the man's words.

Still, his hope was dashed by what the man said later.

He might not die, but he would have to endure many beatings.

Karen rose to her feet, walked toward Silas, and kicked him hard in the abdomen.

"Ah!" Silas screamed in agony.

Anthony quickly approached. He held a piece of cloth in his hand, intending to gag Silas.

At this moment, Karen expressed her dissatisfaction and said, "There’s no need to gag him. I can only vent my anger by hearing his screams!"

With that, she delivered another kick.

Silas' screams echoed from inside the villa to the outside.

After receiving the shopping voucher, the reporter from New Youth Daily pretended to leave but actually stayed behind. She followed the instructions given to her and stood in a corner, trying to listen for any noises coming from inside.

Sure enough, there were screams.

When she visited earlier, she had toured the backyard of the villa and knew which wall was closest to the house inside. Her current position allowed her to hear the activities inside vividly.

Therefore, she turned on her recorder and whispered into it, "The press conference has now ended, and I'm currently outside the villa. Before I could leave, I heard screams coming from inside."

Then, she raised the recorder high.

The noises from inside did not disappoint her. They grew louder and more distressing with each passing moment.

The reporter recorded for a while longer until the noises inside subsided.

Satisfied, she saved the recording and left.

In the afternoon, news about Karen's announcement today was reported by the media, including New Youth Daily.

As Luca entered the laboratory, she overheard the researchers discussing.

"Did you see the report from New Youth Daily?" One of the researchers brought up the topic.

"I did. I didn't expect it. This time, New Youth Daily's report is the most sensational," commented another researcher.

"New Youth Daily? What did they report?" Luca knew that New Youth Daily was under T Corporation and was not particularly prominent. It was established by Luke's deputy manager of public relations.

"It's about Madam Mallory’s clarification of today's news, and it's quite remarkable."

The researcher explained in detail when she saw how curious Luca was, "Other media outlets' reports are all the same. They’re quite boring. But New Youth Daily's report is exceptional. Their news is much more exciting than others.

"And there's an audio recording on their official website, reportedly recorded by a reporter during the press conference. Dr. Craw, if you're curious, you should give it a listen. It's quite thrilling."

"Really?" Luca could not help but feel curious.

She took out her phone, opened New Youth Daily’s official website, and found the audio report they mentioned.

However, she was in the laboratory. It was not appropriate to listen to the content. She merely glanced at the comments below.

Everyone was praising the excellence of this audio recording, and some were even speculating about its contents.

Confused by these comments, Luca asked the researchers again, "What's this recording about?"

"It's just a man's screams that get louder and louder. They speculate it's Silas Gray. You know, the man rumored to have had an affair with Madam Mallory.

Anyway, the screams sounded miserable, like he's being beaten up," answered the researcher.

"If it's true, that guy has probably been beaten to a pulp," added another researcher.

Luca suddenly understood. Karen beat up someone?

She did have a reputation for violence. Luca had heard about it. Karen's delay in clarification was likely due to her hitting Silas, causing him to have a swollen face and be unable to face the media.

Otherwise, the clarification report would not have been delayed until now.

"Dr. Craw, there's also a report written by that reporter. It's quite impressive.

While others just posted Madam Mallory's statement, this reporter picked out the inconsistencies in her statements during the press conference and listed them all. She’s sharp," mentioned another researcher.

When Luca heard this, she took a look at the article they mentioned.

Indeed, it was sharp.

It was not the reporter who was sharp. It was Luke.

Luke cared deeply for her and would never allow those who hurt her to get away easily.

Karen had attempted to cause trouble with the news. She even caused Luca to suffer from rumors and psychological trauma. Now, Luke was avenging her.

This was Luke taking out her frustration for he

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 3123-"We can't interfere with other people's business. Let's focus on our work," said Luca as she tucked away her phone and continued with her experiment.

At present, everything Luke did was to vent her frustrations.

She could not retaliate against Karen. It was not because she lacked the ability.

It was just that once she took action, it could potentially have significant repercussions.

Luke's actions, on the other hand, could mitigate those repercussions and avoid conflict between the Crawford and Mallory families.

Luca thought that she indeed had the capability, but her abilities still did not match Luke's.

She did not necessarily have to surpass Luke, but sometimes, she needed various abilities to protect herself and her children while supporting Luke.

After Abel got off the plane at A City International Airport, he walked out of the airport and directly got into the car that had been arranged for him.

After the driver greeted him, he took him to the hotel.

All of this was arranged by Abel himself. After checking into the presidential suite of the hotel, he sat on the couch and puffed on a cigar. He recalled the events of the past few days.

The industry networking event in X City seemed to have yielded some results, but not significant ones.

After all, three types of herbs were still missing.

Moreover, although those two Caucasians claimed that Luke's car trunk was empty, Abel suspected that Luca might have done something behind his back.

However, he lacked evidence.

Even though Luca was his subordinate, suspecting someone of betrayal required evidence in the Island of Despair.

Abel had none at the moment. He could discipline Luca, but if news of such a thing spread back to the Island of Despair, it would cause panic and dissatisfaction among the people.

Abel was controlling those people with drugs, but they still had independent thoughts and emotions. Even under the drug's control, they still had their own thoughts and feelings of discontent.

Therefore, he could not act recklessly, lest they rebel against him.

Abel was well aware that even with drug control, Shanks could help others.

Furthermore, there were other capable individuals in this world besides Shanks.

If they could find another doctor and pharmacist, replicating the antidote would be an easy task if the samples were given to them.

Hence, besides drug control, he also relied on winning people over with virtue.

His adoptive father used to do this. Without relying on various drugs, he still managed to control the Island of Despair well.

Even though he was later eliminated by Luke and others, Abel still respected Robert. The former Island of Despair was still his proudest achievement.

However, it no longer existed.

The doorbell of the suite rang.

Abel extinguished his cigar lazily and got up to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, a figure dashed into his arms. The person even tiptoed to plant a kiss on his face. "Mr. Abel, I missed you so much."

Abel looked down at the woman nestled in his arms. His eyes were still cold and indifferent, unlike the woman's warmth.

"What's wrong? Don't you miss me? If you don't miss me, why did you ask me to come over?" Hera also noticed the gloominess in the man's eyes. There was not even a hint of happiness.

She knew well what Abel thought of her.

Still, she was simply hoping for some generosity from him, which was why she dropped everything and came over as soon as he called.

Hera knew Abel did not like her. Even though she had once fantasized about winning his affection, it was just a fantasy.

Now, she understood that as long as there was money, it was fine. Back then, Hera could always catch a glimpse of happiness in Abel’s eyes that was meant to appease her. Now, even that pretense of joy was nowhere to be found.

Therefore, Hera was very dissatisfied. She released her hand from around his neck, planning to play a little hard to get. She refused to believe he had not missed her after all this time.

She was very confident in her own charm.

Hera stood up straight, but Abel had not reacted as she had expected. Her expression could not help but turn unpleasant.

"I'm leaving," Hera said with a gloomy face. He asked her to come, but what was this attitude?

Then, she started walking toward the door.

Abel still did not say anything. It even seemed like he wanted to shut the door.

Hera felt a sudden panic. If she left now, there would be no benefits for her to gain!

"Hey, what's up? I can tell you're not in the best mood, so I was just trying to lighten things up with a joke." Hera quickly went back and closed the door behind her.

"You don't have a single smile on your face. I just wanted to cheer you up. Why take it seriously?"

"If you want to leave, then leave," replied Abel, stepping back.

"I'm not leaving. If you're not in a good mood, I'll keep you company until you feel better." Hera caught a whiff of the distinctive scent of cigar in the air.

She could not help but brighten up her eyes. It was a smell she had grown accustomed to during the past few times she had spent with Abel. After smoking it twice, she developed a liking for it.

Hera had a strong fondness for the spicy flavor of this cigar, even though most people were not accustomed to or did not enjoy such a taste. Still, Hera simply could not get enough of it.

"Mr. Abel, do you have any more cigars? I'm craving one," asked Hera, trying to please Abel in hopes of getting a cigar.

"You don't mind the spicy taste?" Abel was not a stingy person. He took out a cigar and handed it over.

"Am I not going with your flow? Honestly, I feel like our tastes are pretty similar. I mean, look at this cigar. It's not something your average Joe would go for, but I just love it. It's got that extra kick." Hera picked up a lighter and lit the cigar, eagerly puffing away.

Watching her enjoying the cigar with narrowed eyes, Abel's expression softened slightly.

While smoking the cigar, Hera kept an eye on Abel's expression. She found that it had eased compared to before. She gently blew a smoke ring toward his face and asked, "Mr. Abel, have you been busy lately?"

"Yes." Abel's words were brief. When it came to other women versus Kassy, he would always choose Kassy.

When he noticed Hera, who resembled Kassy a little, he was reminded of what had happened at the industry networking event.

Even though there might have been some negligence in gathering intelligence, having only acquired three types of herbs, there was still no way to make the pills to help Kassy.

That was why his mood remained sour.

"No wonder you haven't come to see me lately." Hera's slender fingers traced circles on Abel's chest, feeling his strong muscles.

Her expenses were high, and she often mingled among various men for money.

However, Abel was the most outstanding among the many men she dealt with.

Not only was he handsome and wealthy, but he was also good in bed…

Since sleeping with Abel, only a few men could satisfy her. They did not have his wealth, looks, or physique…

They could not compare to Abel in any way.

At the thought of Abel's various advantages, Hera felt a tingling sensation inside.

"Mr. Abel, what have you been busy with lately?" Hera sensed he was not very willing to talk. It was as though he was preoccupied with something that could not satisfy him.

Hence, she tried to divert his attention. "There's a new venue in A City recently.

It's a nice place. How about I take you there to relax and unwind?"

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 3124-If it were in the past, Abel would also be willing to relax in such entertainment places.

After all, there was nothing on the Island of Despair, and he did not find those women attractive either. The only time he could relax was when he came out.

He could have a drink and enjoy the sight of all kinds of beautiful women.

If there was a mutual attraction, he could even take someone back to the hotel to have some fun.

However, Abel did not have such thoughts now. He was thinking about his own concerns and the various things at hand.

"No." He directly refused Hera's suggestion.

Hera's eyes flickered. She had no choice but to nod her head and continue, "Then I'll stay at the hotel with you."

Abel asked, "Are you keeping up with the updates in A City?"

"Which aspect are you referring to?" asked Hera.

"In all aspects," replied Abel.

Hera shook her head. She was not a professional, and she only wanted to earn money by relying on men. She was just getting by. Hence, she said, "If you're talking about economic aspects, I don't understand it. After all, I'm not cut out for that.

"But when it comes to entertainment gossip, I'm still clear on things."

Hera was a beauty. Naturally, men were drawn to beautiful women. Since she was after money, it did not matter if men did not offer her status. That made her even more appealing to them, including men in the entertainment industry.

Thus, she also knew a lot about the entertainment industry. She even had relationships with several popular young celebrities, as well as some 'good men' who worked in the entertainment industry.

After being in contact with these people for a long time, she would definitely hear some gossip.

Hera even felt that she knew more than those entertainment gossip reporters.

If she were to reveal some dirt about those celebrities to the reporters, she could definitely get some good money.

However, Hera had not done so yet because she knew she still had her looks.

She could still maneuver in this circle to earn money from those men. There was no need to tarnish her reputation.

After all, celebrities were more generous than those rich kids most of the time. It was because they had to keep her mouth shut so that she would not spread rumors everywhere.

"Do you know about Pierre's situation?" asked Abel. He had not been paying much attention to Pierre recently. After all, he had already crippled one of his legs, which was considered a corresponding price.

For most people, disabling a leg certainly would not be worth tens of millions, but Pierre was different. His single leg held a value of tens of millions of dollars to the Mallory family. If it were not for Percy, Pierre's leg might even have been valued at over a hundred million dollars.

"The Mallory family?" Hera immediately thought of the recent gossip news about Karen.

She said, "I heard that Pierre has been released by the police now and is recuperating in the hospital. They said he got kidnapped and his leg was broken. That leg won't heal properly in the future, so he'll just be a cripple."

Abel knew all of this, and some of these things were even done on his orders.

"Well, how is the Mallory family's attitude toward him now?" asked Abel.

"I'm not sure about that because the Mallory family's attention is not on him right now but probably on his mother.” Hera shook her head. Although she did not know why Abel was interested in Percy's affairs, it was certain that this topic could make him speak more.

"His mother? What about her?" Abel did not pay much attention to gossip news.

"It's about his mother's scandalous affairs. I have a friend who works at the hospital. It's said that because of his mother's past, even someone like Percy doesn't want to associate with her now. It's quite amusing."

Hera could not grasp the main point and immediately diverted the conversation to Percy's mother, Karen.

These were not what Abel wanted to know. He was not interested in this gossip about Karen at all.

Therefore, he showed a lack of enthusiasm.

"I'd like to rest. You should go back first," said Abel. He rose to his feet and headed to the bedroom.

Hera could not believe it. She was being asked to leave after just having a smoke?

This was not what she had in mind. Hence, she extinguished her cigar and quickly followed him into the room. "Mr. Abel, you seem to be in a bad mood. Let me keep you company."

"I'm not in the mood," replied Abel.

"What are you thinking? I just want to spend some time with you. It's not what you're thinking," said Hera. She took his hand and snuggled up to him.

"I'll just keep you company for a while. I knew you were coming today, so I took the day off from work. I don't have anything to do right now."

Abel listened to her words without any expression. After taking off his coat, he just lay down on the bed.

Hera also took off her outerwear and lay down beside him.

What she did not expect was that despite her seductive attire, Abel did not seem to have any extra thoughts. He let her lie down and get close, then closed his eyes.

Hera was one not to give up easily when she could not get what she wanted.

She bit the bullet and said, "Mr. Abel, do you want to know about Percy's situation? I have many friends in that circle. I'll learn about Percy's recent activities if I ask around."

"Uh-huh." Abel did not open his eyes. He could feel the soft body continuously pressing against him, but he had no thoughts.

There was a lot of frustration in his heart, and he simply lost the desire and need to do anything else but sleep.

"Mr. Abel, you still haven't told me which aspect of Percy's situation you want to know about." Hera's voice became more seductive.

"Any aspect will do. Whatever you can find out, just find out," Abel closed his eyes. Even though he said so, he did not put much hope on Hera.

Hera paused for a moment. Although she did not know why Abel suddenly became interested in Percy's affairs, something flashed across her mind.

Could it be that Abel swung the other way as well?

Otherwise, why would he suddenly ask about Pierre’s affairs?

Hera had seen Pierre before. He was quite good-looking, but he had a particularly wicked nature. She was not confident she could handle him…

That was why she kept her distance that time, afraid she might accidentally provoke such a difficult person.

However, besides this explanation, she could not think of any other possibilities.

After all, Abel's business had nothing to do with the Mallory family's business.

Hera lay flat on her back and thought about it. She could not help but feel sorry when she thought that Abel might also be interested in finding solace in the company of men. At the same time, she felt dirty.

Even though she knew she was not the only woman in Abel’s life, at least they were all women.

"Why aren't you moving?" Abel suddenly asked.

"Huh?" Hera realized that her actions just now might have had some effect, but she suddenly lost interest at the thought that Abel might be bisexual.

"Keep going," commanded Abel.

Hera listened to his deep voice and knew she could not refuse. She could only continue reluctantly.

However, her mindset had changed.

Hera had to force herself to think about Abel's generosity. If he was satisfied, she would have a substantial income. At the thought of this, Hera became much more willing

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 3125-In the afternoon, just before getting off work, Luca received a call from Amur.

"Amur, what's up?" Luca assumed that Amur called to ask about Abel's matter.

According to what Luke said, Abel had already arrived in A City by now.

When she entered the laboratory today, she did not put her phone on silent. She was afraid that she might miss Abel's call because she had a feeling that Abel would definitely cause trouble for her.

However, unexpectedly, Abel did not cause any trouble…

"Abel has arrived in A City. He came alone. No one from X City followed him.

Did he contact you?" asked Amur. Knowing that Abel would come to A City, he had been waiting at the airport in the afternoon, only to find out that Abel did not go to the base but to the hotel.

After he entered the hotel, he did not come out, nor did he contact Amur.

Therefore, Amur was worried that Abel came here this time to cause trouble for Luca. He reckoned Luca was about to get off work, and that was why he called her.

"He didn't contact me. Did he contact you?" Luca found it strange. Could it be that both she and Amur were wrong?

Did Abel not come here to cause trouble for her?

"No. If he's looking for you, call me first," said Amur. He was worried about Luca.

"Alright, no problem," replied Luca. Abel was an enemy to them, and currently, he was an enemy they could not resist. Even though she did not want to see Amur get hurt for her sake, she also knew that they had to unite at this time.

Only by uniting could they have the strength to deal with Abel.

Luca planned to introduce Amur to Luke when the time came to deal with Abel.

With Amur's help, their plan would surely succeed.

"I have another call coming in. I'll hang up first," said Luca. When she was lost in her thoughts, she suddenly heard the sound of another call coming in on her phone.

"Okay." Amur ended the call.

Luca answered Nina's call. "Hey, Nina."

"Luca, are you free tomorrow? Percy and I are planning to invite you, Luke, and the kids to dinner as a token of appreciation,” asked Nina. If it were not for Luca taking her in voluntarily, she would have been worried and frightened for some time.

After all, Karen could appear at any time.

At that time, only the Crawford family could suppress Karen.

"Sure. We're all free," answered Luca. If Nina invited them to dinner, she would definitely go.

At the thought of Percy and Nina's wedding approaching, she thought about what she could do to help.

Even though she had a lot on her plate and many troubles to solve, she would be happy to help Nina at this moment.

"Then it's settled. I'll book the restaurant tomorrow and let you know," replied Nina. She wanted to cook a hearty meal to thank them, but considering her cooking skills, she thought better of it.

Even with Luca's recipes, she could not entertain guests. At most, she could occasionally let Percy taste her cooking when she felt inspired.

"Okay, thank you," thanked Luca.

"What are you thanking me for? I should be thanking you." Nina was sincerely expressing her gratitude. She recalled how Luca even prepared things like pajamas just to make her feel at home. With that, she had no reason or excuse to go back.

She knew Luca was worried about her, and that was why she prepared so much. Staying at Luke's place meant Karen would not come to cause trouble.

"We're friends, so there's no need for thanks. Oh, and by the way, Madam Mallory hasn't been bothering you since you went back, has she?" Luca asked with concern.

She wondered if Karen would come looking for them when she knew that Percy had returned.

"She shouldn't have time to bother me now," replied Nina. She heard these things from Percy.

"She has a lot to deal with now. Besides, Pierre has returned. She wouldn't dare to come to me for trouble anymore. And she needs to handle Pierre’s matter. I heard that Old Master Mallory is no longer involved with Pierre's treatment at the hospital, so it's all up to her now."

"Pierre?" Luca calculated the time since Pierre's treatment began, thinking that his bones should be almost healed by now. He should be ready for some physical therapy.

For instance, dry needling and electrical stimulation could help the damaged nerves heal faster.

"Yes." Nina could mention Pierre's name without the same hatred as before.

Although the law could not successfully punish Pierre, he got what he deserved.

What went around came around. It was true.

Pierre got what he deserved, and it was quite a miserable retribution.

After all, he was a prodigy, yet he suddenly became disabled. He was probably unable to bear it.

Hence, Nina felt a bit relieved.

The harm Pierre caused her in the past had been repaid by fate.

At the thought of this, she found it pointless to continue hating Pierre.

As his name was mentioned again, she could no longer feel any hatred in her heart.

"Well, if she doesn't have time to bother you, then it's all good." Luca smiled.

Even though she was curious about Pierre's current condition and how crippled his leg was, she knew Nina would not know.

Nina would not even bother to find out how miserable Pierre was now. After all, she did not have much time. She was busy preparing to become a bride.

"Oh, by the way, Luca, I'll be getting married at the old apartment. Could you help decorate it a bit? Even though not many people will be attending from my side, I’d like to make the apartment a little more festive," said Nina.

She realized she did not have many hands to help.

She could not ask her colleagues at work for help, especially since everyone in the company was very busy. They only needed to attend her wedding. They still had to handle company matters, after all.

Moreover, although she was friendly with her colleagues, there was still a certain distance between them.

The people Nina could ask for help were indeed few.

"Sure, no problem," Luca readily agreed.

"That's great. Thank you," replied Nina.

"I'll bring a little helper with me, Rainie is really good at this kind of handicraft,"

suggested Luca, thinking that Rainie would be happy to help since the child loved such festive and lively occasions.

"Great. Gotta go now. Percy is here to pick me up. See you tomorrow night,"

said Nina with a soft voice when she saw Percy standing at the door of her office. She left with him, arm in arm.

She was unable to conceal the sweetness in her smile amidst the gaze of the other employees in the company.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 3126-"I missed you, so I came to pick you up," Percy said sweet nothings without hesitation despite being surrounded by employees from Brilliant. He did not feel embarrassed at all.

He pressed the elevator button, and the doors slowly opened.

Percy and Nina entered the elevator together.

Nina looked at the people standing outside the elevator doors and asked, "Aren't you guys coming in?"

"Ms. Langdon, we wouldn't want to be a third wheel. We'll catch the next one."

The employees chuckled and waved.

Nin's face slightly reddened. Since no one entered, the elevator doors slowly closed and descended.

One of the Brilliant employees could not help but exclaim, "Ms. Langdon and her fiancé have such a good relationship."

"Fiancé? They're legally recognized as a married couple now. It's just that they just haven't had the wedding ceremony yet. Besides, haven't we already received the wedding invitations?" another employee corrected her.

"Come on, it was just a slip of the tongue. They're such a sweet couple, and it doesn't seem like there's any problem between them. Who on earth spread the rumor that Ms. Langdon was abused by her husband?" the employee who had just exclaimed suddenly questioned.

Nina's face was swollen back then, and for some reason, a rumor spread in the company that Nina was being abused by Percy.

The parties involved did not say anything, but the rumor spread like wildfire behind their backs.

"Many couples appear loving in public, but who knows what happens behind closed doors until it shows on their faces?"

"So, you mean it might actually be true? But Mr. Mallory doesn't seem like that kind of person."

"You can't judge a book by its cover. Businessmen like them might be violent behind closed doors. A violent person tends to lay hands on those around them.

Look at Ms. Langdon. She's so fragile and thin, but she has to endure her husband's fists… for the sake of money…"

Once these discussions start, even false rumors would be thought of as true.

They were deeply engrossed in their discussion, so much so that they did not even notice Sue standing behind them.

Sue's expression grew darker and darker as she listened to their discussion.

She could not bear to listen anymore and said, "How on earth are you all so good at making up stories? Maybe you should quit the architectural industry and become scriptwriters instead?

"The stuff you come up with would be a hit with the soccer moms, no doubt.

Ignorance is bliss, but you're already cooking up a whole damn soap opera for Ms. Langdon. You think talking like this will get you off the hook, huh?"

The group was startled and turned around to see a grim expression on Sue’s face.

"Ms. Carter."

"Ms. Carter."

After they greeted Sue, no one dared to speak. They dared to gossip thinking no one was around. Now that they knew Sue was here, they dared not continue.

There was no way this conversation could continue.

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Sue looked at them. "I thought you all loved gossiping."

"I’m sorry, Ms. Carter." A female employee explained with a stiff smile on her face, "We're just concerned about Ms. Langdon."

"You’ve got the guts to talk about your superior’s personal business here, so how come you don't have the guts to say it to our faces?" Sue questioned them.

They fell silent.

"Ms. Langdon's marriage is doing well, and that bothers you, doesn't it?" Sue was not as gentle as Nina was with everyone.

She was downright scary when she was giving someone a dressing down.

Moreover, she would not scold indiscriminately without reason—only when she had a point.

If the other party had not done anything wrong, she would not lash out randomly.

The employees lowered their heads.

Sue added, "You guys shouldn't meddle so much in other people’s business.

Whether or not Ms. Langdon is being abused, let's not jump to conclusions. And even if it's true, if she hasn't called the cops, why are you all worrying about it as if you're the police?"

The employees still did not say a word.

They were unlucky to have been caught badmouthing their superiors.

"If you dare to discuss Ms. Langdon's affairs in the company again, I'll record everything you say and let Mr. Mallory listen to you all gossiping about their married life." After scolding them, Sue entered the elevator.

Those people dared not enter.

Sue did not ask them to come into the elevator either. Her gloomy expression was frightening. Even after the elevator doors closed, she was still displeased.

She really wanted to clarify for Nina that it was not Percy who slapped her but someone else.

However, if she said that, those people would speculate about who it was, and such speculation would have an even greater impact on Nina.

She could not say it was Percy's mother who slapped Nina, could she?

Would that not cause a huge uproar?

Such rumors could turn from marital issues to problems between a mother-inlaw and daughter-in-law.

That was why Sue scolded them but did not speak up for Nina. She took out her phone and sent a message to Nina, complaining about those people gossiping about Nina behind her back.

By the time Nina received Sue's message, she was already in Percy's car.

She could not help but let out a laugh when she saw the message.

"What's so funny?" Percy fastened his seatbelt, planning to take Nina out for dinner.

"Sue heard the employees gossiping about us behind our backs just now. They said you're a violent man. You abused me, and you even slapped me in the face, which was why my face was swollen.

Haha…" Nina laughed. Suddenly, she could not continue.

She forgot that Percy did not know about the slap incident.

How could she explain why the employees were saying such things behind her back?

"Is that even for real?" Percy frowned and rubbed his chin. "I don't look that fierce. How could they think your swollen face was because of me?"

"You knew?" Nina widened her eyes. Who told him?

"Nina, do you think I wouldn't know if you didn’t tell me?" Percy heaved a sigh.

"Actually, someone else told me this time. It was the leader of the property's security team who told me. He usually gets a lot of perks from me, but this time, he let someone in, and it was his negligence.

"He was worried I would hold him accountable and he would lose his job, so he confessed. He told me after my mother left," explained Percy.

Nina sighed. "He actually told you."

"Even if he didn't, many others would tell me." Percy touched her face. After some time, the swelling had gone down, and it was not obvious she had been slapped.

"When something like this happens, you shouldn't hide it from me. I'm your husband. It's only natural for me to stand up for you. You shouldn't do this,"

added Percy.

"I know, but the one who slapped me was your mother. Your relationship with her has gotten pretty tense because of me. I didn't want you to know because I wanted you two to patch things up a bit.

"Forget it, I won't hide anything from you in the future. I can't hide it anyway."

Nina let out a sigh. Hiding something from Percy? It seemed impossible.

This man was too shrewd.

He had eyes everywhere. She could not hide anything from him.

"Yes, don't hide anything from me in the future. We're husband and wife. We're supposed to be one. Come on, let me take you to the restaurant you wanted to go to before." Percy started the car and drove away

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 3127-After the two had their dinner, Nina thought Percy was heading home, but she realized the car was not heading in that direction. Hence, she got curious and asked, "Where are we going now?"

"To the hospital," replied Percy.

"Are you not feeling well?" Nina asked anxiously. She looked at him and noticed that he seemed fine. There were no signs of discomfort. Suddenly, something came into her mind, and she asked, "Are you going to visit Pierre?"

"Yeah, just to check on him. You don't have to come up. Can you wait for me in the car downstairs for a while?" asked Percy. He had not visited Pierre since he came out of the detention ward. Percy planned to pay him a visit since the hospital was nearby.

However, when Percy heard Nina’s tone a moment ago, he hesitated and intended to ask for her opinion.

"If you don't want to go to the hospital, we can go home.” It would be the same if he went later.

Nina shook her head and replied, "No need. Just go, but I won't go up. I'll wait for you downstairs in the hospital."

"Alright." Percy gave her a gentle smile. Nina was always so considerate.

Even though Pierre had done many wrong things to her before, she endured everything for Percy.

What the Island of Despair did to Pierre was a form of revenge for Nina.

His younger brother had been too arrogant and had done too many wrong things. He deserved some punishment.

Percy drove to the hospital and parked the car in the hospital parking lot.

Nina unbuckled her seatbelt and pointed to a café nearby. She said, "I'll wait for you in the café for a while, okay?"

"Sure, I'll just talk to him for a bit and then leave. It won't take long. But if it gets too late and if you're thirsty, order some juice instead of coffee so that you can sleep at night.” Percy remembered her sensitivity to coffee. Just a little in the evening would keep her awake.

"Okay. Got it." Nina nodded, agreeing. Then, they parted ways.

Percy headed toward the hospital building while she walked toward the café.

Nina did not expect to encounter someone familiar in the café, let alone face-toface.

As Nina was about to enter the café, Marie pushed the café door open and walked out.

The two ran into each other.

Nina could not help but think it was unfortunate to meet Marie at this moment.

Why would Marie be in the hospital at this time? Outpatient services were already closed by now.

Could she be hospitalized here?

Still, if she were a patient, why would she be drinking coffee?

Nina recalled the scene of Luca running into Marie and the words Marie had said to her. She could not help but take two steps back. It was a subconscious movement, as though Marie had some kind of contagious disease.

However, she also knew that even though Marie might be ill, it was not something that could be transmitted just by speaking a few words or being close to her.

Perhaps she was trying to avoid trouble.

"Nina?" Marie was surprised to encounter Nina in the hospital, especially at this time.

"You're back?" Marie had already initiated the conversation, so Nina had no choice but to reluctantly respond. After all, Marie was an extreme person. If she pretended not to know her or tried to avoid her, she would surely come after her relentlessly.

Marie, despite her despicable actions, was also extremely concerned about her reputation.

She let go of the café door and took a step forward. She did not block the entrance, mindful not to inconvenience others.

She carefully sized Nina up, realizing that her attire was all branded.

Previously, Nina had a lower starting point than herself. Now, while she was clad in street market goods, Nina was decked out in designer labels.

It was not fair. Marie had spent so much time and effort trying to build herself up, yet she still could not compare to a woman with no background and no outstanding qualities…

She even wondered what was so exceptional about Nina that Percy would be interested in her.

As for her, everyone despised her!

Marie felt extremely resentful, but when she remembered that Nina was Jean’s sister, she smiled and approached eagerly. "I heard you’re married to Mr.

Mallory. Congratulations!"

"Oh, thank you," replied Nina. Knowing that Marie had come out from the café, Nina did not linger. She was afraid that it would disgust her!

She turned around to leave.

Marie immediately grabbed her hand. "We finally bumped into each other. Let's catch up, shall we?" "What's there to chat about?" Nina quickly pulled her hand back. She felt disgusted at the thought of how many men had held Marie's hands. "How dare you come back? Aren't you afraid the police will come after you?"

Marie's expression darkened at Nina's words and actions. It seemed that everything Nina did or said was filled with disdain for her.

She glanced at her own hands, which were not dirty, and retorted, "What do you mean by that?"

"How much money did you steal from Jean back then? Do you have any idea he almost starved to death because of what you did? He felt aggrieved, so he went to the police. The amount you stole was enough to press charges and get you jailed," replied Nina.

She reckoned that Marie probably had not gone to see Jean yet.

Jean had money now. Even though she did not know how he was spending it, he was wealthy now.

A rich prodigal son like him naturally would not look at Marie.

Therefore, Nina was not afraid of Marie going to Jean. Moreover, Marie would not dare approach him because of the money she stole.

Marie looked displeased as she listened to what Nina said. "Nonsense. I didn't steal his money. I borrowed it."

"Borrowed? Did you sign an IOU? Did he agree?" Nina countered.

"Marie, do you know how much trouble Jean caused me because of the money you stole? Shouldn't I report to the police now and let them arrest you?"

"You can't do that!" Marie panicked at the mention of Nina calling the police. "I can give Jean an IOU. Besides, Jean loves me so much. How could he possibly call the police?"

"Do you believe that when you say it yourself?" Nina smiled knowingly. Even though it was already dark outside, the hospital's lights were bright enough, and there were street lamps outside the café. She could clearly see the anxiety on Marie's face.

"You don't even believe in yourself when you say those words, do you?" Nina saw through Marie. She was good for nothing, and Jean was no better.

"Do you think I don't know what dirty things Jean has done to you? Speaking of which, your physical condition might also be partly his doing. Does that man really love you? He only chose you because he didn't have any other women available.” Marie clenched her fists tightly. It seemed like Nina knew about her condition.

How did Nina know about it?

Even though she knew Nina had gotten involved with a wealthy man, there was no reason for him to investigate her.

In that case, she must have found out through Luca!

Luca must have seen the report last time at the hospital and told Nina about it.

Marie frowned in disgust. Why was that woman so annoying?

Why did she haunt her like a ghost?!

Whenever she saw Luca, it reminded her of Bianca.

Both of them were equally irritating!

"You're spouting nonsense! If you keep defaming me, I'll call the police!" Marie's composure was slipping.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 3128-"Call the police? Sure, but I don't know if Jean’s case has been closed. But with just 10,000 or 20,000 dollars involved, the police definitely won't take it seriously. That's why they haven't come looking for you since you left. After all, these are minor cases.

"But if you walk right into the station yourself, then who knows what might happen?" Nina said. "If you decide to call the police, go ahead and do it. I'm curious to see if the police will accuse me of."

After that, Nina sized Marie up from head to toe. Despite the scorching weather, Marie was wearing long sleeves. There might be something wrong with her arms.

Nina heard that the illness could cause growths on the skin.

If someone had some medical knowledge, they could easily figure out what was going on.

Marie's expression darkened. Naturally, she dared not to report to the police.

What would she report? Nina's defamation? Yet, a simple check in the hospital's system would reveal that it was not defamation.

Plus, she did not know if Jean had gone to the police to close the case. She was well aware that no police officer had come knocking at her door yet. It was indeed a small case. The police were too busy to keep an eye on Jean all the time.

Reporting now might just be walking into a trap.

Marie stamped her foot and cursed at Nina, "Nina, do you think it's impressive to have snared Percy? Let me tell you, the Mallory family will never acknowledge you. Even if you have married Percy, what then?

"An unrecognized daughter-in-law is as good as nothing. What right do you have to be arrogant? If the family doesn't acknowledge you, no one will support you when Percy gets tired of you.

"When you're abandoned, you'll be nothing more than trash in a ditch. You’ll be worse off than me!"

Then, she sneered again and added, "You're nothing without a man! You'll be abandoned just like I was. You'll be equally wretched and miserable! Heck, you'll get an even worse ending!” After finishing her words, Marie rolled up her sleeve. "Look. This is me now, and this will be you in the future!"

Nina looked at the bumps on Marie's hands with disgust. Those bumps only appeared when the disease had reached its most severe stage.

To deal with them, one would need medication, ointments, and injections.

Otherwise, they could easily break and become infected.

Nina noticed that several of the bumps on Marie's arms were already oozing pus.

"My life will never be as miserable as yours, Marie. You'd better stay far away, or else if Jean doesn't send you in, I will," warned Nina, emphasizing that keeping away also meant not bothering Jean.

She could turn a blind eye to how Anna and Jean squandered that money.

However, she did not want Marie to disturb their lives any further.

"Why should I?" Marie's eyes were bloodshot. "Nina, what have I done to you?

What makes you think you can send me in? Even if your man has some influence, you can't defy the law."

Nina frowned. She had a feeling that Marie's eyes could start bleeding at any moment.

Could that illness cause red eyes too? She had not heard of that before.

After all, such illness was far, far away from her. Nina would not get it in her lifetime.

The people around her were not the type to engage in reckless behavior, so the chances of infection were naturally low.

"Percy and I definitely won't defy the law. It's just that the things you've done in the past could land you in prison for years. So, Marie, don't let me catch you doing anything wrong again. Otherwise, don't be surprised if I'm not so nice about it!" Nina warned in a low voice.

What Nina did not know was that her warning had sparked a different thought in Marie's mind. She shot Nina a fierce glare and cursed, "Nina, your days ahead won't be a walk in the park."

After that, Marie turned around and left.

Nina let out a sigh, shook her head, and glanced at the café.

At the thought of what Marie had been up to there and feeling no inclination to go in for coffee, she decided to walk into the adjacent fruit shop instead.

Most of the fruits in this shop were genuine imports, and the quality was quite high. Nina intended to pick some to take home and store in the fridge.

She chose some that Percy usually liked and some that she herself enjoyed.

When she was at the checkout counter, the cashier asked if she wanted these items to be put in a basket.

Nina shook her head, indicating that using a bag would suffice. They were not for gifting, so there was no need to make it fancy.

The cashier nodded and efficiently packed everything into bags.

Nina took the bags of fruits and walked toward the parking lot, planning to wait for Percy in the car.

She first placed the bags of fruits in the trunk and was about to send a message to Percy when a car pulled up next to hers.

Nina paid it no mind and continued typing her message beside the car.

Suddenly, the sound of a car door opening caught her attention, followed by a familiar voice. "It's you!"

Nina was startled for a moment. It was Karen’s voice!

She raised her head. Through the light from the parking lot street lights, she could clearly see Karen getting out of the car next to hers.

"Why are you at the hospital?" Karen did not wait for Nina to speak and immediately questioned her.

The tone was so assertive that it gave the impression as if the hospital belonged to her and no one else could enter except her.

"I came to buy something," replied Nina. She thought she needed to notify Percy.

Otherwise, if the mother and son met now, the situation would definitely be chaotic.

Percy was still resentful about Karen slapping her last time, so the best way to avoid a confrontation between the mother and son was for them to not meet each other. As long as they did not meet, there would not be a war between them.

"You're buying things at the hospital?" Karen obviously did not believe her words. She glanced at the car behind Nina and immediately recognized it as Percy's car.

Even though Nina could possibly drive Percy's car, Karen was certain that the car was not driven by Nina.

"Is Percy at the hospital?" asked Karen.

Nina remained silent.

"Is he here to trouble Pierre?" Karen, for some reason, immediately thought of this. Nina was rendered speechless. The first thing Karen thought of was that Percy had come to cause trouble for Pierre?

Percy was not that kind of person.

The Mallory family did not hold Percy back, but there was no real familial bond, and the family pushed him too hard. That was why Percy fell out with them.

Even though Pierre had done many wrong things and competed with him for the Mallory Corporation, in Percy's eyes, Pierre was still his brother.

Therefore, Percy was simply here to visit Pierre, not to cause trouble for him!

Although Nina had only known Percy for a few years, she knew what kind of person he was.

Karen, the one who gave birth and raised him, had such thoughts about him…

Suddenly, Nina wanted to give Percy a hug as she felt sorry for him.

Even though he appeared invincible, he also valued family affection.

However, his family refused to believe in him, and they even suspected him…

With this kind of family, even though they did not hold him back, there was also no real familial bond…

Nina realized that even with money, one might not have everything.

Percy did not have the familial affection that she lacked either.

Perhaps the biggest thing they had in common was this. They both lacked it, and they both sought to provide warmth to each other

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 3129-"Are you not going to say a word?" Karen really wanted to force Nina to admit that Percy was causing trouble for Pierre.

However, Nina unexpectedly remained silent. Suddenly, Karen recalled what happened a few days ago.

Karen wanted to cause trouble for Nina while Percy was away on a business trip. However, her subordinate informed her that Nina had moved into Luke's place.

If she wanted to trouble Nina, she had to go to Luke's place.

She did not do that, or rather, she dared not to.

Nina saw the gloomy expression on Karen's face and she knew she had to be thinking about something. Thus, she replied, "I'm just here to buy some fruits. If you don't believe me, there's a bag of fruits in my trunk, and the bag is from the fruit shop near the hospital. Would you like to take a look?"

Karen could not be bothered to look. She wanted to slap Nina, but they were at a hospital. Even though there were no people around, there were cars nearby.

Almost all the cars here were equipped with dash cams. If she acted out, her actions would be captured by several cars.

If Nina took the evidence to the police station to file a report or even escalate the situation, it would be effortless.

Karen was not stupid.

At the same time, Anthony reminded her, "Madam, you should go check on Pierre first."

Karen thought of Percy being upstairs and recalled that Pierre could not get out of bed now. She had no idea how Percy would treat Pierre!

Hence, she shot Nina a fierce glare before going upstairs.

Nina watched her leave and immediately sent a message to Percy. She wanted to inform him that Karen was heading upstairs now.

After composing the message, she suddenly thought, 'What if Percy wants to stir up trouble for Madam Mallory?' If she notified him of her arrival, would it not lead to an eruption of conflict?

Hence, she changed her wording: [Percy, are you okay? I suddenly have a stomach ache. I'm waiting for you in the car. Hurry back.] After sending it, Nina scorned her own act of lying. However, she did not feel much guilt.

She did it for Percy's sake.

Nina reckoned that when Percy received the message, he would definitely come back. Then, he would not run into Karen.

That was what she thought, but reality turned out differently.

Percy stood in Pierre's hospital ward and saw that his leg was in a cast. He cast a cold gaze on Pierre.

Pierre looked back at him as though he was facing a formidable enemy. There was nothing but anger and hatred on his face.

This made Pierre have a strange illusion. He felt that Percy was the one who caused his leg injury.

Whether it was true or not, that was how Pierre thought at the moment.

Percy was rendered speechless. He tried to talk to Pierre, but Pierre tightly pursed his lips, refusing to communicate.

Percy no longer insisted on communicating with Pierre.

After all, he knew what situation Pierre was in now. Thus, Percy did not say anything more. When Percy was about to leave, he received Nina's message claiming that she was not feeling well. He quickly rushed downstairs.

As he stepped out of the elevator, he saw Karen.

Karen was carrying a bag of fruits.

She knew Percy had arrived and initially wanted to go up immediately, but she suddenly remembered what the caretaker had told her earlier. She said Pierre did not enjoy eating fruits now, but the doctor advised him to eat more fruits and supplements which would aid in bone healing. That was why she bought a lot of fruits at the fruit shop.

As Karen took the elevator up, she did not expect to encounter Percy at the elevator entrance.

Percy saw Karen and was surprised. At the same time, he speculated that Nina might not really be feeling unwell.

Nina might have encountered Karen too. She did not want the mother and son to meet and trigger a conflict. That was why she said that.

"What did you do to your brother?" Karen saw Percy downstairs and was no longer anxious. She did not enter the elevator and questioned him directly.

With people coming and going in the elevator, Percy frowned.

Karen had no shame, but Percy still needed to keep his reputation. Many people recognized him.

If his photos ended up online, it would probably be a major ethical drama.

"Why don’t you go upstairs and check on him?" replied Percy. His tone was sharp, and considering what she had done to Nina before, his attitude toward Karen was not any better.

Percy did not even address her as his mother. With his hands in his pockets, he looked utterly cold and indifferent.

Karen originally thought he would still address her as his mother.

After all, no matter how fierce their quarrels got, she was still his mother. That was an unchangeable fact.

However, not only did Percy not call her that, but Karen even felt some hostility in his gaze. She raised her hand, feeling the urge to slap Percy.

Nevertheless, Anthony immediately stopped her, "Madam, you're still outside.

It's not good if someone sees."

Karen forcibly held back her urge to slap him, withdrew her hand, and walked directly into the elevator.

As the elevator doors slowly closed, she heard Percy's warning, "Some people are not to be touched. Even if you and the entire Mallory family won't acknowledge her, it won't change the fact that she's my wife."

Karen felt a pain in her body from anger. If the elevator doors had not closed, she would have definitely rushed out to slap Percy and then dragged him to the neighboring country to find a priest to see if Nina, that bitch, had put a curse on him!

Percy had the capital to be fickle, and he had the capital to choose many women. Why was he so devoted to that bitch, Nina?

He even fell out with the family because of her!

"Madam, please calm down. Mind your image," Anthony reminded her again.

Karen clenched her fists tightly, and her nails were digging into her flesh. The pain in her palms helped her calm down a bit.

Yes, was the lesson from this morning not enough? She had to calm down and not let anyone make videos and upload them online again.

At the thought of this, Karen adjusted her breathing, looked at the numbers that gradually went up, and said, "Don't mention what happened downstairs to Pierre."

"Yes, Madam.” Anthony nodded.

Karen pondered for a moment and added, "Don't bring up the press conference today either."

She knew that if Pierre found out about the press conference, he would definitely complain about her. At that time, she thought the press conference was over and the reporters would certainly follow her and Silas' clarification statement, so she brazenly beat up Silas.

However, she did not expect someone to secretly record everything outside the wall!

Now, the whole internet was accusing her of being treacherous. She appeared to be a high and mighty noble lady, but in reality, she was extremely malicious.

"Got it." Anthony understood what she meant. She was worried he might blurt it out, so he said, "Madam, don’t worry. I won't go into the hospital ward."

"Okay." Karen watched as the elevator reached the floor. When the elevator doors slowly opened, she suppressed her anger and put on the demeanor of an affluent noblewoman again. Her walking posture was professionally trained, looking very elegant.

After Percy left the hospital ward, he walked toward the parking lot.

However, he did not rush as he did before he met Karen. He leisurely walked over.

He saw Nina anxiously pacing in place from afar. His heart warmed, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.

What a silly woman.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 3130-"Honey," Percy walked over and affectionately called out.

Nina heard his voice. She lifted her head, let out a sigh of relief, and walked toward him. "Let's go home."

"No." Percy shook his head.

"What's wrong? Do you have something else to do?" Nina had forgotten the lie she told Percy.

"Weren't you feeling unwell? Let me take you to the emergency room." Percy held her hand, pretending to take her to the emergency room. "If your stomach hurts, don't endure it. Let's go for a check-up first, and then we can go back."

Nina became anxious. She did not expect that she would have to see a doctor after telling a lie.

However, since the lie had been told, she could not tell him it was just to avoid him meeting his mother, right? She had to continue the fabrication. "I just ate too much. I'll go back and deal with it. There's nothing serious."

"Are you sure there's nothing wrong?" Percy pretended to furrow his brows with concern. He was just worried about her.

This silly woman must have run into his mother just now, but he was not sure if there was a fight.

Still, Nina looked fine now. Percy thought to himself that everything should be fine.

"Really, there's nothing wrong. Let's go home,” replied Nina, pretending to hold her stomach in pain again. "I know my body well enough."

"It's quite far back home. Let's deal with it here at the hospital first." Knowing she was not really in pain, Percy teased her again.

"Oh, I’m concerned about the hygiene here. Let's go home, let's go home." Nina pulled his hand toward the car.

Percy stopped. He knew that as long as he did not move, Nina would not be able to pull him. "No, let's go see the doctor. Listen to me."

As he said this, he saw how desperately Nina was trying to maintain the lie. A smile could not help but creep onto his face.

Nina turned back and saw his smile. She suddenly understood. "You knew I was lying?"

"I met my mother at the elevator, so I guessed it." Percy smiled, no longer insisting on going to see the doctor. Instead, he opened the door to the passenger seat and let her in.

After Percy got into the car, Nina looked at him puzzledly. "I just didn't want you to run into her. That’s why I lied. I didn't expect you to run into her anyway. It's strange. I thought the timing wouldn't coincide."

Percy explained, "She bought some fruits."

Nina suddenly realized. "Oh, I see. She got delayed downstairs… But wasn't she worried you'd harm Pierre? Why would she still have the time to buy fruits?"

"Who knows?" Percy started the car. "But you didn't have to do that. Even if she got angry, I wouldn't argue with her in public, so it wouldn't matter even if I ran into her."

"Just because you won't argue with her doesn't mean she won't argue with you,” muttered Nina. She saw through things very clearly. "Forget it. We've bumped into her anyway. Let's just go home."

"Alright. Yes, Madam." Percy chuckled. Nina always thought of him in everything, even this time.

She even fabricated such a lie just because she was worried that he might have a conflict with Karen.

With such a wife, what else could he be dissatisfied with?

Percy drove Nina home.

Meanwhile, in Pierre's hospital ward, the atmosphere plummeted to absolute zero.

Even though Percy came under the guise of concern, Pierre believed he was just being arrogant and domineering.

Percy was the winner, whether it was the shareholders' meeting or the series of events that followed.

As for himself, not only did he become the butt of everyone’s joke at the shareholders' meeting, but he was also kidnapped and had his leg broken. After being rescued, he became disabled…

In every aspect, he felt like a complete failure.

If it were not impossible for Percy to be associated with that organization, Pierre would have suspected that all his current experiences were related to Percy.

Pierre was already feeling very unhappy. The atmosphere in the hospital ward had been bad all along.

As soon as Karen stepped into the hospital ward, the temperature dropped to subzero, casting an icy chill over the atmosphere.

Karen approached his bedside and asked with concern, “Pierre, are you okay?

Did he do anything to you?"

"You ran into Percy?" Pierre knew that the two had already crossed paths when he heard that.

Karen nodded and said in an angry tone, "Not only did I run into him, but I also ran into that little bitch, Nina, waiting in the parking lot. When I saw that little bitch, how I wished I could scratch her face! If it weren't for her, our family wouldn't have ended up like this."

Pierre let out a cold snort. "What has become of the Mallory family now?"

Karen immediately burst into tears and complained to her son, "Your grandfather has kicked me out. Pierre, you have to get better quickly and help me regain my position. Otherwise, the two of us will never have a chance to rise."

"All because of Nina?" Pierre could not be bothered about Nina at the moment.

Due to his leg injury, he now dreamed of walking normally again instead of being a cripple.

"Of course, it's all her fault. Otherwise, you wouldn't have ended up like this."

Karen pulled out a tissue and wiped away her tears. She was worried that her tears would ruin her delicate makeup.

"You were kicked out of the Mallory family because of your own doing. Even if you don't tell me anything, I already know what you did at the press conference today. Did you disable that man?" asked Percy.

Karen was startled for a moment. She had not intended to reveal this, but Pierre unexpectedly knew about it.

She had not told him about the press conference either.

She planned to tell him after dealing with it, hoping he would not be angry about what she had done.

Pierre always gave her the cold shoulder every time when she came here because of the incident.

"You know about it? I didn't expect things to turn out like that…"

"Your situation has already died down. Why would you do something so foolish and bring up this matter again? Do you know how my friends are ridiculing me because of you?" Pierre had the urge to slap her across the face.

Even though he looked a lot like Daryl, those people kept harping about Karen's affair.

Most likely, they talked about Pierre not being Daryl's biological son but rather Karen's child with that guy, Silas.

Otherwise, Daryl would not have left the Mallory family and gone abroad.

Who would be willing to raise someone else's son? Only someone cruel enough to abandon their own child.

"I-I didn't mean to. I just wanted to clarify the matter. I never thought it would backfire…" Karen's eyes grew redder. At first, she only wanted to confide in her son about her grievances. When she heard her son accuse her like this, it made her feel even worse.

"Hmph, indeed it backfired. People lead you on, and you fall for it every time.

What's wrong with you? I never realized you were so stupid." Pierre did not see Karen as his mother at all. He questioned her sentence by sentence, piercing her heart.

As Karen listened to his words, she felt like her whole being was falling apart.

She did all that not only to prove her innocence but also for Pierre's sake.

However, she never expected things to turn out like this.
