Tears filled Karen's eyes.
She wiped away her tears and said, “Oh, it's nothing. You're the one who's been having a
hard time..."
Karen's gaze fell on Pierre's right leg. After Old Master Mallory noticed that she had calmed
down, he told her about Pierre's condition and said that his leg would most likely go lame.
Of course, Karen could not accept that outcome. How could the son she was so proud of
become a cripple?
If Pierre really became disabled, she reckoned that many people would want to see her
and Pierre become subjects of ridicule, including that foreign blonde bitch, the Crawford
family, and others.
"Pierre, I understand how you feel, so don't worry. When you can get up from bed, I'll find
the best physiotherapist in the whole country—no, the whole world. You'll be fine!" Karen
wiped away the tears that fell.
Percy had completely betrayed her, so only Pierre was left. She could not let the only child
she had left be ridiculed by others.
Pierre glanced at his right leg. Johann said that he would be disabled!
No, there was no way that would happen!
"Mom, I need to wait three months before I can get out of bed and move around. Before
that, I want the Crawford family to suffer," said Pierre.
He remembered who had saved him.
They were Luke's people!
Luke's people might have known where he was being held from the start, but they did not
come to rescue him until the kidnappers demanded a ransom.
When he was in a daze, he heard people around him discussing that if he had been sent to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe hospital for surgery earlier, his leg would not have gone lame.
Luke was directly related to his injury!
Speaking of the Crawford family, Karen's face turned sullen. She held the railing of the
hospital bed that was used to prevent the patient from falling.
Her voice was deep. "Don't worry. I'll never let whoever hurt you get away with it."
It was just Luke. She did not believe that after living all these years, she could not defeat
Luke!
Pierre frowned at the thought of him gaining more enemies, and he had a faint feeling that
he would not be able to handle it.
He had to have the Mallory family in the palm of his hand before he could deal with his
enemies one by one!
“Mom, what's your plan? Let's take care of the Crawfords first." Pierre asked, wanting to
know how Karen was going to take care of Luke and his people.
Karen knitted her eyebrows together as she did not have a plan. Pierre could tell from her
face.
Then, a serious look flashed in his eyes, and he pointed out to Karen, “Luke has a woman,
and the Crawford family's old master knows about it. How fun would it be to let him watch
this woman ruin Luke?"
Old Master Crawford once stood up for Luke by confronting him with the stolen tender, so
he hated Old Master Crawford too.
However, Luke was the grandson he took pride in.
Pierre thought that as long as he defeated Luke, Old Master Crawford would break down,
so there was no need to attack him directly.
Karen patted the railing with a curious face. “That woman? Are you sure she's that
significant?"
Would such an intelligent person like Luke walk into a trap for a woman?
On the contrary, Karen felt that if something happened, Luke would definitely give up on
that woman, Luca. When that happened, all of their efforts would be in vain.
Pierre squinted and said through gritted teeth, “He won't just give up on that woman."
Although investigations showed that she was just an ordinary woman, Luke treated Luca
the same as how he treated Bianca back then.
Pierre was not surprised that Luke was able to love Luca like how he loved Bianca.
A man like Luke would definitely look down on a whore like Bianca after she was tossed
around like that.
Bianca fell out of favor, so it was expected that another woman would replace her.
Karen was doubtful, but seeing Pierre speak with such certainty aroused her curiosity. Did
Pierre know something she did not?
"Alright, we'll start with that woman." If that were the case, Karen trusted Pierre.
Dealing with the woman beside Luke was much easier than dealing with Luke himself.
Pierre nodded and said, “There's information that may come in handy in the bottom
drawer of my desk at the company."
He remembered what Luca had done to him, so Karen's decision to deal with her was
according to his own wishes.
Karen was a little taken aback. “You've wanted to deal with that woman from the start?"
“That bitch, Luca, has humiliated me too many times. I'll never let her get away with it
easily." Pierre's face was gloomy. He had obtained the information early on, and if it were
not for the distractions along the way, Luca might have already been destroyed during his
fight with Percy.
“Sure. Don't get too worked up." Karen was worried that he would hurt himself if he got
too worked up. She immediately reassured him, saying, "Don't worry about it, I'll make
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthat woman suffer. I won't let anyone who has ever hurt you off the hook. I'll go get the
information tomorrow, so don't think about it too much. Just focus on recovering."
She felt a little sad looking at Pierre's leg.
Although his bones had been rejoined, his recovery was unpredictable.
Pierre noticed that she was looking at his leg pitifully, and he got upset.
He did not need her sympathy because he was confident that he would recover.
"Mom, you should take care of your health too. Don't get too emotional," said Pierre.
Although Karen said that she was faking it, he still had doubts. After Percy cut ties with
them, he could feel that something was wrong with Karen every time he called.
It was not hysteria but depression.
She would talk anxiously, and she was not able to lift her mood.
Thus, Pierre felt that Karen was dealing with some mental issues, and the best way to
treat her was to find a psychiatrist.
Karen could not collapse. She was his last stand in the Mallory family, so if she collapsed,
Old Master Mallory might completely abandon him.
Old Master Mallory had always felt guilty toward Karen because his son, Pierre and Percy's
father, cheated on her. However, Karen did not divorce him. Instead, she stayed with them
and took care of the family and her two children.
Old Master Mallory had always remembered this, so, of course, he felt guilty.
Pierre wanted to take advantage of Old Master Mallory's guilt toward Karen to gain a
strong foothold in the Mallory family again.
"As long as you're fine, I'll be fine," said Karen while shaking her head. Ever since Percy
went against her and insisted on being with that bitch, Nina, she gave her everything to
Pierre as if she had never given birth to Percy.
The maid at home said that when Pierre was kidnapped, Old Master Mallory's relationship
with Percy got less tense, but she did not care about making amends with Percy at all.
