Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle novel Chapter 3256

Karen glared at Luca, furious. “What are you laughing at?!”

She wanted to curse her out for being ill-mannered.

However, Karen quickly held back because she noticed that Luke's expression had turned gloomy. She realized that if she insulted Luca now, she would have zero chance left.

Luca knew Karen hated mistresses and hated her even more.

Thinking about all the dirty tricks Karen and Pierre had pulled recently, she did not mind disgusting her a little. She deliberately leaned closer to Luke, letting Karen see her play the part of the wicked woman.

“I just find what you said amusing, Madam Mallory,” said Luca.

Karen watched as she shamelessly clung to Luke, acting like she did not even exist. Luca was without a shred of shame. She secretly cursed, ‘Mistresses really are shameless!’

However, she did not say it out loud. Instead, she snapped, “I'm talking to Luke right now. Who asked you to butt in?”

Luca nodded and fell silent, turning her gaze to Luke instead.

Luke, feeling her eyes on him, met her gaze and completely ignored Karen.

Karen was furious!

“Luke, I'm here to sincerely apologize today. Can’t you at least talk to me? Or tell me what I need to do to earn your forgiveness and to have you put in a good word about me with Old Master Mallory?” She tried to calm down, ignoring Luca’s deliberate provocation.

Luke held Luca’s hand, glanced at her, and replied, “I’ve already made it clear. Dropping the charges was the best outcome for the Mallory family. If you keep pushing, don’t blame me for what happens next…”

Karen frowned. “Are you saying you’ll call the cops if I keep bothering you?”

Luke nodded. “Take these things with you. I don’t need them. And don’t bother Luca again.”

“Fine, fine!” Karen knew Luke was proud, but what Percy said earlier had made her think that as long as she lowered herself, Luke might help smooth things over.

She never expected this outcome!

“How dare you reject me?! Don’t blame me for what happens next!” Then, Karen grabbed the bags of goods and stormed out.

“Aunt Neile, see her out,” instructed Luke.

“Yes, sir.” Aunt Neile had been hiding in the kitchen, and when she heard him, she quickly came out to escort Karen to the door.

With a loud bang, the villa’s door slammed shut behind her.

Karen stared at the iron door, tempted to kick it.

However, she was not stupid. If she did, she would probably end up with a broken foot.

Fuming, she was about to leave when a voice called out, “Madam Mallory? What are you doing here?”

Karen turned toward the voice and saw that it was Susan.

Since Susan had ties with Luke, Karen was not about to be friendly. “What’s it to you?”

Susan noticed her foul mood, saw the bags in her hands, and glanced at the door nearby, piecing together what might have happened.

She did not know for sure, but her gossip instincts kicked in. “Did they kick you out?”

“It’s none of your business!” Karen snapped.

Susan recalled the scandalous stories she had seen online about how Karen had messed with Luke and how he had ruthlessly struck back, leaving Karen in shambles.

After suffering so much, she had barely managed to smooth things over.

“So, you came to apologize, huh? But I’d advise against it. Ever since that woman showed up, Luke has changed. He doesn’t even listen to me anymore,” Susan deliberately added. Being in the same circle, she knew exactly what would get under Karen’s skin!

“And to be honest, I’ve tried to talk sense into him so many times…”

“I noticed you were deliberately provoking Karen.” Luke did not have any fondness for Percy’s mother, so when no one else was around, he just called her by her name.

Luca chuckled.

“Yeah, she tried to use Vivian to threaten me yesterday, which really pissed me off. But out of respect for Mr. Mallory, I couldn’t do anything about it, so I had to mess with her a little,” explained Luca.

No one liked being threatened.

If Karen had been anyone else, someone without ties to Percy, Luca might have dealt with her differently after ensuring Vivian’s safety.

It was not right for a man to hit a woman. However, when it was woman against woman, there was nothing to be ashamed of!

“I’ll find a chance for you later,” replied Luke.

“A chance for what?” Luca glanced up at his chin. He had not shaved today, and the stubble was poking through. She reached up to touch it, finding it a bit prickly.

“Didn’t you want to beat her up?” asked Luke.

Luca was surprised. “I didn’t say that. How did you know?”

“I know all your little thoughts,” replied Luke, grabbing her restless hand and pressing it against his chin.

“Ouch, it’s prickly!” Luca protested with a laugh. Then, she asked, “Is it that obvious?”

“It's pretty obvious. Ever since Nina got slapped by her, you’ve been itching to return the favor, haven’t you?” replied Luke, knowing exactly what was on her mind.

Luca made a little noise of agreement.

She guessed it was pretty obvious. She did not say anything, but Luke still knew.

Well, he was the one who knew her best.
