Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle by Heap Heap

He was asking for trouble, but it was none of their business. However, they had to make

sure the boss saw them bringing the man back!

In the living room, Karen was sitting on the couch. Her face was full of gloom while she

waited for her subordinates to bring Silas over.

When she heard footsteps coming from the entrance, she knew that person had arrived.

Karen lifted her eyes slightly and shot a meaningful look at her subordinate. Upon seeing

it, they nodded in acknowledgment.

The subordinate walked to the entrance and sent Silas sprawling as he walked in. It was a

swift kick that left him on the floor.

The two men behind Silas were startled by this action.

This man was their boss. He took orders directly from Karen. Even though their

investigative skills were not top-notch, their combat abilities were off the charts. A single

forceful kick and Silas found himself sprawled on the ground, groaning in pain on the

ground.

"What the hell are you doing?" Silas felt a dizzy spell. He blinked several times before

looking at the man in front of him.

It was not Karen. It was a sturdy man.

The man did not answer but looked at the two men behind Silas, "Take him to the boss."

"Yes, sir." The two men did not hesitate. They lifted Silas from the ground and walked

toward Karen.

Karen looked at the tanned man in front of her. Having a tough life had etched lines on his

face, leaving it weathered and worn.

A man she once found handsome back in her younger days now looked incredibly ugly.

She suddenly felt disgusted, wondering how she ever fell for such a man!

As Karen recalled their past, she found it utterly disgusting. She rose to her feet, raised

her hand, and slapped Silas across the face.

A loud smack echoed in the living room.

The smack from her made Silas' head jerk to the side.

Feeling dissatisfied, Karen thought about the troubles he had caused her. Now, everyone

believed she was unfaithful and involved with many other men. She was a far cry from the

image of a virtuous woman she had been portraying for over 20 years!

As she thought about the carefully crafted image she had maintained for two decades,

which was now mocked because of this irresponsible man's words, she raised her hand

again. She slapped the other side of Silas' face.

Silas' ears were ringing after two slaps. He was dumbfounded at the same time.

Why did things turn out so differently?

Why was she not crying in his arms, expressing the longing of these years?

Why was she slapping him?

"Karen..." Silas struggled to speak. His face had already become swollen after getting

slapped twice, making it a bit challenging for him to speak.

Karen felt nauseous when he heard him calling out to her. She raised her hand and

thought of giving him another slap.

The man beside her reminded her, "Madam Mallory, if you keep slapping his face, he

might not be able to speak anymore!"

Even though Karen was a woman, when she slapped Silas, she unleashed the full force of

her being.

Hence, one slap from her was equivalent to two or three normal ones used to discipline

people.

If Silas' face swelled to the point that he could no longer speak, there was no way they

could get any evidence from him.

On top of that, she needed Silas to clear things up with the media. If his face got too

swollen, how was he going to face the press?

Those reporters were sharp. If they saw Silas' swollen face, they would probably think his

clarification was forced under duress.

Karen glared at the man, but deep down, she knew he was speaking sense. Thus, she held

back her anger and sat down on the couch.

The man made a move.

In an instant, Silas was forced to kneel on the ground.

He felt dizzy, with stars dancing in his vision and a sharp ringing in his ears. There was a

constant buzz in his ears, like a fly buzzing around inside his ear canal.

Silas shook his head, but he knew the current situation was not what he had imagined.

Karen was not sentimental about him; she was settling scores with him.

Silas shivered at the thought of it. His foot was being held down by the man who kicked

him earlier. "Ah!"

"Our boss has some questions for you. You'd better answer honestly, or you'll be the one

suffering. Understand?" The man warned him in a low voice by his ear.

Silas nodded repeatedly. He was no match for these men!

Not to mention three, he could not even handle one. Hence, for now, he had no choice but

to play along to keep himself out of trouble.

Karen saw him nod his head and asked, "Who instructed you to spread that nonsense

online?"

Silas lifted his head. With his swollen face facing her, it caused another wave of disgust to

arise within Karen.

This kind of man should not be left alive in this world.

Karen wished she could strangle him to death, but with the Mallory family still in a

precarious situation, dealing with this man might affect the family.

With so many people watching her, she could not act recklessly.

Karen fought to suppress her inner murderous intent.

At this moment, Silas could tell from Karen's gaze that it was not a tender expression of

affection. She was filled with murderous intent. He shivered, nodded, and then shook his

head.

Karen could not understand what he meant and asked in a cold voice, "What do you

mean?"

"I don't know who's pulling the strings behind the scenes..." Silas struggled to speak.

Someone gave him money and protection, but he knew those people were just working for

someone else, not the mastermind.

He suggested meeting the mastermind, but those people always gave him various

excuses.

They gave excuses such as the boss was not in town today or it was not time yet...

In the end, he never met the so-called mastermind, and his life went well. Gradually, he

stopped insisting on meeting the mastermind.

Since the mastermind was reliable and kept giving him money as agreed, Silas could not

be bothered about the grudges between Karen and the mastermind.

Karen threw another sharp look at him and warned, "How dare you lie to me? It won't end

well for you!"

Silas shivered again and replied, "Everyone I've dealt with was just small fry. I honestly

have no idea who it is "

Karen did not believe him, thinking that he took money from Luke Crawford and was

scared to spill the beans. Hence, she asked, "Was it Luke Crawford who told you to do

these things?"

Silas frowned. The name Luke Crawford sounded familiar, but he was not sure whether it

was him...

"Hey, I'm asking you a question! Don't even think about covering for that man. I'll make

sure you meet a gruesome end!" warned Karen. Even though she could not commit a

crime, threatening him was fair game.

Silas knew if he could not throw someone under the bus, his life would be on the line.

The way Karen looked at him did not seem like she had any interest in him. As he thought

about her questions, it seemed there might be some bad blood between her and this man

named Luke Crawford.

Since there was some history between them, it would not be a problem if he smeared

Luke's name.

Hence, Silas nodded repeatedly. "I'll talk, I'll talk. It was Luke Crawford. He told me to spill

the beans to the media about our past and promised me some benefits.

"Karen, I didn't mean to hurt you. It's just that my mother got seriously ill, and I needed

some money for her surgery. I agreed only because of that. Otherwise, I would never have

betrayed you! Trust me!"

Karen used to appreciate him doing his duties as a son.

That was why he said that, hoping to earn Karen's forgiveness and sympathy.
