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

If the old master did not take the sleeping pills, he would probably have a sleepless night.
Old Master Mallory took the cup of tea that was handed to him. He took a sip of it. Right now, he lacked the appetite to enjoy
even the finest tea.
"Now, which hospital is Pierre in?" asked Old Master Mallory. After learning of the tip-off yesterday, even though he did not do
much, he had people keep a close watch on the matter throughout.
Now, his men were keeping a vigilant eye on Pierre's and the police department's every move.
"He's at Central Hospital now," replied Mr. Bennet. He took the tea cup handed by Old Master Mallory, which he only took a few
sips from. Most of the tea was still there.
What a waste of such good tea.
"What about Karen?" Old Master Mallory asked again, knowing that Karen did not come back yesterday.
Mr. Bennet hesitated for a moment, knowing that the old master was furious since he called Karen by her name. Karen did not
listen to his advice. She kept going to the hospital every day, telling him that she wanted to visit Pierre. Last night...
"Madam was quickly escorted away by Master Percy without alerting the police or the reporters," answered Mr. Bennet. He
added, "By the way, Madam is at Master Percy’s house now."
Old Master Mallory frowned. Karen was at Percy's house?
It seemed like she did not dare to come back because she knew she would be subjected to criticism. His wrinkled face wore a
tense expression, showing his disapproval of Karen's actions.
It was strange how his usually smart and capable daughter-in-law had turned into such a woman.
Old Master Mallory no longer cared about Karen. The top priority remained Pierre's matter. "Have you contacted Ms. Cullen?"
"We've already called her. Ms. Cullen said she'll come to visit you today," answered Mr. Bennet. Old Master Mallory wanted
Shandra to handle Pierre's affairs.
Initially, he intended to hire Walter, but he declined the job that day. He cited that he had important matters to attend to.

Since the Mallory family could not force him, they turned to Shandra instead.
Shandra did not immediately agree, but she did not reject either. She only wanted to meet Old Master Mallory.
"Make the arrangements." Old Master Mallory understood Shandra's intention. There was room for negotiation since she had not
rejected.
As for what Shandra wanted, he would personally discuss that with her.
"Okay." Mr. Bennet noted it down. He then glanced at Old Master Mallory's schedule. He asked, "You have some free time at ten
in the morning. Shall I schedule a meeting with Ms. Cullen around that time?"
"Sure." Old Master Mallory rose to his feet. The important matters had been arranged, and he needed to have a meal now.
Even though Pierre's situation troubled him, the old master valued his health. He knew that taking care of himself was essential.
Only then could he handle Pierre's matters effectively. "Oh, have Percy come home for dinner tonight."
"Yes, Sir," replied Mr. Bennet.
"And have him bring that woman along," added Old Master Mallory.
"Understood." Mr. Bennet knew he was talking about Nina. When he heard Old Master Mallory asking Percy to bring Nina to dine
at Mallory Manor, Mr. Bennet glanced at the old master's expression. He was unable to decipher the look on his face.
Could it be that he intended to make amends with Percy? Was this an acceptance of Nina as his granddaughter-in-law?
It did not seem like it...
Once Old Master Mallory sat down at the dining table, Mr. Bennet had everything arranged. He informed Shandra and notified
Percy.
Mr. Bennet conveyed Old Master Mallory's message verbatim when he called Percy.
Percy fell silent for a few seconds after he heard what Mr. Bennet said. Then, he asked, "Did Grandpa say anything else?"
"Master Percy, Old Master Mallory didn't mention anything else. Perhaps the old master has accepted your wife now that some
time has passed," replied Mr. Bennet. Even though he was not certain about it, there was a chance. Otherwise, Old Master
Mallory would not have asked Percy to come back for dinner.

"I get it." Although Mr. Bennet said so, Percy was not entirely convinced. He sat at the dining table and glanced at today's
newspaper.
Karen came downstairs, yawning. She looked like she did not get enough sleep. She frowned when she saw Percy sitting at the
dining table alone.
"Where's that bitch?" asked Karen in an unfriendly tone.
Percy did not lift his head. It was as though he did not hear what she said.
Karen walked toward him, displeased. She snatched the newspaper from Percy. Before she could say anything, she saw the
newspaper headlines reporting news about Pierre.
She furrowed her brows. "Isn't this what you're supposed to be dealing with?"
Percy lifted his head with a cold expression on his face and replied, "He was surely going to be taken in by the cops last night."
"He's your brother. Are you just fine with letting the cops haul him away like that? Fine, Percy. It seems that woman has eaten
away at your heart too! You won't even help your brother!" Karen's heart ached at the thought of Pierre being taken away in
handcuffs.
Pierre was her beloved youngest son. When had he ever suffered like this?
Percy was being too heartless!
"No, I have to go save Pierre." Karen could not be bothered about the trouble of dealing with Percy and Nina anymore. She left
as she spoke.
"Grandpa and I will take care of what comes next. If you want Pierre to be safe, go back to Mallory Manor," replied Percy in a
cold voice.
Karen was stunned for a moment. "Why should I go back to Mallory Manor? I'm going to look for Pierre's uncle's help."
"Don't involve the Ruiz family. Go back to Mallory Manor and wait for Pierre's news." Percy did not think Karen would be of any
help at the moment.

If he let her handle it, she might only make things worse. Karen's maternal family had some political influence, but they would not
offer help at all.
Moreover, there was no need to exhaust this bit of goodwill on such a matter.
Karen relied on the Ruiz family to establish herself in the Mallory family. That was also why she managed to send her husband to
the US when she found out he had an affair, while she comfortably sat in the position of Madam Mallory here.
The Ruiz family was to thank for all of it.
The Ruiz family could intervene in Karen's marriage, but they could not intervene in Pierre's affairs.
After all, the Ruiz family had more than one descendant apart from Karen. Karen had an elder brother, who was also Percy's
maternal uncle. He called Percy when Pierre got into trouble.
At that time, Percy told him that they did not need the Ruiz family's help as that would drag them down.
Percy's uncle had agreed and opted to wait and see.
If Karen went to seek help from the Ruiz family now, it would only make things more complicated.
"Percy, you're such a heartless person! I knew it. You just want Pierre to go to jail. Let me tell you, that's impossible! Pierre can't
go to jail. You and that woman won't last forever!" Karen's eyes were bloodshot, and her expression on her face was twisted.
Percy put down his knife and fork. Fortunately, Nina had already gone to work. Otherwise, she would feel upset again if she
heard what Karen said.
He could not bear to see Nina suffer. It was even more impossible he would let Karen make Nina suffer.
"Things will only get worse if you refuse to believe me. Mother, do you really want to visit Pierre in prison?" Percy stressed the
word 'mother.'
Karen was startled for a moment. Then, she shook her head frantically. She pointed at him with her trembling hands. "Don't you
curse Pierre."
Percy pressed his throbbing temple seeing Karen's mind all over the place. "The chauffeur is already waiting for you outside. You
should go back to Mallory Manor first."
