Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle

Chapter 3251 She Won't Accept Any Kindness From You

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

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

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

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

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

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

Percy's words had hit her where it hurt the most. Content belong to NôvelDráma. Org.

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

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

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

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

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

Moreover, she had failed to educate Pierre.

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

Percy watched with cold indifference as Karen sobbed.

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

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

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

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

Hence, as Karen cried, Percy showed no sympathy.

He just watched it all unfold with indifference.

Karen cried until she was exhausted.

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

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

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

She was arrogant toward everyone, and she would go wild when upset but never cry. To her, crying was the ultimate sign of weakness. However, Karen was crying now. She was crying her heart out, utterly devastated. *Let me get some water," said Nina.

Percy initially wanted to ask her why she came down.

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

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

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

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

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

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

However, clearly, some people just would not appreciate kindness.

*Fine," replied Nina. She then glanced at Percy, "I'm going back upstairs."

"Okay." Percy did not look too pleased either.

Karen came here to cry her heart out, yet now, she was giving Nina an attitude.

Karen noticed the change in Percy's expression and was not happy about it. "What's with that look?"

"Nina was just trying to be nice by bringing you water. Why did you have to act like that?" asked Percy.

"Who needs her to be nice? And just because you say she's being nice, does that make it the truth? How do you know she didn't poison the water?" Karen wiped the tears from her face. "She's up to no good. Why should I accept anything from her?"

*She's the lady of the house. If you're not going to accept her kindness, then there's no reason for you to stay here." Percy was ready to show her the door.

"What do you mean? You're kicking me out because of this woman?" Karen stood up, furious.

"It's not like you don't have a place to go. You should head home. This is where Nina lives, and who knows when you might get upset by her again?" Percy made a gesture toward the door.

"Alright, I see what's happening here! I knew this woman was trouble, and now, you're even kicking me out! Fine! Percy, I may not be able to do anything to you right now, but don't come crying to me when she destroys you!"

Karen stormed out, nearly out of breath from anger.

Once she left, Nina finally came downstairs. She had not actually gone back to the bedroom, just stayed upstairs listening to what was happening.

Nina heaved a sigh. She walked toward the couch and squatted down to pick up the broken glass shards.

"Don't touch that. I'll do it." Percy immediately rushed over. "We're getting married soon. Be careful not to cut yourself."

Nina looked at him and suddenly asked, "Percy, do you really have no regrets?"

"I'll only regret it if I don't marry you," answered Percy. After gathering all the pieces, he helped her stand up and tossed the shards into the trash.

Nina smiled softly.

"But is it really worth it, causing so much tension with your family because of me?" asked Nina. She thought Karen came over today to cause trouble for Percy.

However, it turned out to be just a crying session.

She was listening from upstairs, hoping Karen might change. While Karen's sadness was real, so was her hostility toward Nina.

She even accused Nina of trying to poison her!

Nina felt a bit exasperated. If she were truly that malicious, would Percy have put up with her in the first place?

*Stop talking nonsense!" Percy flicked her forehead lightly.

"Ow!" Nina rubbed her head, not that it hurt much. It was just enough to make her react instinctively.

*For you, everything is worth it. One day, they'll see how great you are. Besides, my family isn't like others. For

most people, marriage involves two families, but for us, it's just about the two of us.

'It doesn't matter what they think or say, so don't worry about whether they approve." Percy tried to reassure her as much as possible, wanting her to feel secure.

Nina could not help but grin.

*There you go, smiling like a fool. You were supposed to be upstairs, but you ended up hearing everything she

said, didn't you?" teased Percy, gently pinching her cheek.

After all his efforts, she finally put on some weight.

She looked much healthier too.

"Her voice is so loud when she talks, and she's even louder when she cries. It's hard not to hear her," replied Nina with a playful expression.

"I honestly thought she was regretful. When someone's feeling sorry and upset, a little kindness can usually move them," added Nina.

"But it depends on what they're upset about." Percy pulled her into his arms. "I know she's not regretting what she did before. She's only sad because Grandpa took everything from her. She won't accept any kindness from you."
