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

Chapter 3415 What's So Special About This Face Of Hers "Mr. Mallory, I didn't dare to go in. Nina and your mother are still inside." After Sue realized that Nina might be in danger, she had been waiting outside, unwilling to leave. She had been planning to rush in with the other employees if she heard Nina scream. Percy's expression darkened. He did not blSue for the situation, so he did not say anything. Instead, he quickly walked to Nina's office door and pushed it open.

The sight before him sent a chill through his veins, as though his blood had turned to ice.

"You're here?" Karen fixed her eerie gaze on the person who had opened the door. A strange, sinister smile curved at the corners of her lips. She stood behind Nina with a knife tightly gripped in her hand.

The sharp blade was pressed against Nina's neck, already leaving a faint red mark.

Sue gasped at the sight and instantly lost her composure.

Karen frowned in dissatisfaction, moving the knife slightly and muttering, "Why is there another woman here? Tell her to leave!" Percy knew Karen's mental state was currently unstable, and the knife could easily cut Nina's throat at any moment.

His expression was dark as he said to Sue, "Leave. Now." Sue realized that her earlier scream had upset Karen. Although she was worried about Nina, she did not want to make the situation worse, so she nodded and left.

The office door was closed.

Percy's gaze was cold as he fixed his eyes on Karen. "Let Nina go." "Let her go? Why should I?" Karen's eyes gleamed with madness as she glanced down at Nina.

It was this woman who had caused her to end up like this.

"Whatever it is, cat me." Percy seized the opportunity to give Nina a reassuring look. He would make sure she was safe.

Nina, terrified to the core, forced herself to stay calm after catching Percy's gaze.

He would keep her safe.

"Cat you? That's what you think? You're my son. How could I bear to hurt you?" Karen's tone was soft, yet it carried the unmistakable hint of madness lurking beneath. Percy was all too familiar with this tone.

Back when Karen's mind was still stable, she would speak like this whenever she encountered problems.

If her words did not convince someone, she would descend into madness and resort to more violent methods to force others to comply.

Karen raised the knife, pressing its cold blade against Nina's chin. Nina's heart trembled, but she dared not move.

The blade was so close to her skin that a small misstep would cause her to bleed out.

"Percy, I've always been proud of you," Karen said slowly. "I might not have been all that involved with you growing up, and yes, I spoiled your brother more... Maybe that's why you turned out so rebellious, even getting involved with this woman. But everything I did was for your own good, you know? "I didn't coddle you or pamper you because you're the heir Old Master Mallory favors. This way, you could grow better. The education you received as a child was far more than anyone else's, making you more capable. "Though I never said it, you've always been my pride-my perfect child. But how could you be so rebellious? "Just because I never said 'I love you' like other moms, you really think I don't care about you? The reason I don't say much or hover over you is because I want to make things easier for you.

"But how could you hurtlike this? You putand your brother in this mess for this woman. You're supposed to be the future head of the Mallory family. How could you be this rebellious? "It's this woman, isn't it? She's the one who's been influencing you," sneered Karen. She yanked at Nina's ponytail.

Nina gasped in pain, her head instinctively jerking backward. The knife shifted with her movement, slicing a shallow cut into her neck.

It was not deep, but the thin line of red blood sent a jolt of panic through Percy's chest.

He clenched his fist tightly, but he fought against the overwhelming urge to rush over and stop Karen.

If he acted recklessly now, Karen might grow even more agitated and hurt Nina. If she cut the carotid artery, the consequences would be too horrible to imagine.

"Put the knife down, and everything can go back to the way it was," Percy frowned and replied.

The only way to ensure Nina's safety was to get Karen to put the knife down.

"Do you think I'm stupid?" Karen lifted her head and laughed wildly. "If I put down the knife, you'll just ignore Pierre and maybe even sendback to that psychiatric hospital! Lettell you, I'm not crazy. How could you, as my son, not believe me?" Percy saw her hand tremble slightly, and his heart raced. He was worried that the blade would slice through Nina's neck at any moment.

"I believe you. You're not sick," Percy quickly responded, trying to calm her.

Karen smiled. Her grin was laced with madness that sent a chill straight to the heart. "Then why did you sendthere? Was it this woman's influence? And is she behind what happened to Pierre too? "If you had just let Luke's woman help me, Pierre wouldn't be disabled now. Percy, we used to be family. How did we end up like this? I thought about it, and it's definitely because of her. She's the one who's been manipulating you, making you disregard your family!" "Mom." When Percy uttered the word, he hesitated for a brief moment as though he was lost in thought.

Since the fallout with Karen, he had always distanced himself from her. He still referred to her as his mother, but he did it with a coldness that lacked affection.

It was a respectful title, but it carried no warmth.

Percy believed he was a cold-hearted person. No matter what his family did, it would not interfere with his decisions.

He only felt the need to fulfill his duties without getting too emotionally involved with his family.

Hence, when they opposed his relationship with Nina, he did not give in. Instead, he chose to pursue a life with her, regardless of their disapproval.

Karen paused for a moment. Her eyes glistened with unshed tears.

She had not heard that word in so long.

Just a little more and she would have let go of Nina and go to embrace Percy.

However, that feeling only lingered for a fleeting moment.

As her insanity returned, Karen beceven more convinced that it was Nina who had ruined her relationship with Percy.

She pressed the knife harder against Nina's throat, the fair skin already reddening under the pressure.

"Don't hurt her!" Percy shouted in panic at the sight.

"Ha, so you're just temporarily giving in, hoping I'll let her go?" Karen's eyes narrowed. She had worked so hard to escape the psychiatric hospital, and she was never going back. Percy nodded. "I'll do whatever you want as long as you let her go."

"Stop fooling me! I know you've stopped listening toever since you met this et this womax Even though I've always had your best interests at heart, you won't hearout because she's got you completely fooled."

Karen let go of Nina's hair and ran her her fingers across her face. "What's so special about this face of hers? It doesn't even compare to the ones I picked for you before. Why are you so damn stubborn?"
