?Chapter 3247 Complications


    Old Master Mallory stood up with his cane. "To Mallory Estate."


    "Yes, sir!" Mr. Be jogged out to prepare the car.


    At Mallory Estate, Karen had been anxious ever since Gale took Luca and Vivian away yesterday.


    She had been watching Dr. Schwartz, who had been up since early morning studying surveince footage, and finally lost her patience. "When will you figure this out?"


    Dr. Schwartz trembled. He wanted to master this strange dry needling technique quickly, but it was not something an old man like him could learn overnight.


    Pierre, who was pushed into the living room in his wheelchair by a maid, heard Karen''sment and mocked," Look at the useless doctor you hired."


    Karen''s expression changed.


    "He''s a well-known naturopathic physician in A City. Many people seek him out for dry needling." She did not choose him without a reason.


    Dr. Schwartz was indeed talented in this area and had his own clinic. Locals praised his dry needling skills. Yet, he could not handle Luca''s dry needling method.


    Dr. Schwartz nodded in agreement with Karen.


    He regretted his decision.


    He had a good reputation and many patients. Why did he let Karen''s offer tempt him?


    If he had not signed that agreement, he would be rxing at his clinic, waiting for patients who would tter him before treatment. Instead, he was sitting here helplessly watching videos.Content belong to N?velDráma. Org.


    Pierre sneered, "So? His ways are fixed. How can he learn this? You''d be better off bringing in Dr. Wood from Central Hospital. At least he studied under Luca!"


    Karen had considered Abraham, but Pierre had recently filed aint against him. Would Abraham even agree to help?


    She remained silent, knowing the hospital had strict rules about doctors not treating patients outside their practice.


    Karen asked, "How did you feel after Luca performed dry needling on you yesterday?"


    *She knows her stuff!" Pierre admitted. "After her treatment, my leg didn''t hurt all night. I felt much better and had a good sleep. Why not just bring her back?"


    Karen was rmed by Pierre''s bold idea. "No, we can''t do that. Let''s wait until Dr. Schwartz figures out the technique."


    Pierre was about toment on Dr. Schwartz''s capabilities when one of Karen''s subordinates rushed in. "Bad news."


    "What is it?" Karen had a bad feeling.


    *Madam, Old Master Mallory is here," reported the subordinate.


    Karen frowned. "Why did he suddenlye over?"


    *His expression is very serious. He''s waiting downstairs," added the subordinate.


    "He''s definitely here to cause trouble." Karen had a bad feeling.


    She originally thought Luke would go straight to the police, but after waiting all day, no police had shown up.


    She wondered what was going on, only for Old Master Mallory to arrive instead.Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    *Luke must have told him everything," muttered Karen.


    Pierre remained calm as he watched Karen panic. "We didn''t do anything wrong. What are you so worried about?"


    Karen found his calmness frustrating. Really, they did nothing wrong?


    She had lost her temper and attacked Luca, which ended up hurting Vivian instead. Even though the wound was not deep, it was still pretty bad.


    *Let''s head downstairs first," said Karen.


    They all headed downstairs together.


    Karen and Pierre came to the living room.


    Old Master Mallory sat on the couch, watching the mother and son make their way down the stairs. One was feeling guilty and one was indifferent. Regardless of the expressions on their face, he felt a surge of anger.


    "What did you do yesterday?" Old Master Mallory asked directly after Karen sat down.


    "Grandpa, I''m recovering from an injury. What could I have done?" Pierre replied nonchntly.


    Old Master Mallory had grown increasingly dissatisfied with this grandson.


    Before his past actions were exposed, he thought Pierre had potential and he just never got the right opportunity.


    However, after everything came to light, he realized some people simply were not capable. Doing certain things would only highlight their ipetence.


    It was a fatal w!


    *Stop trying to fool me!" Old Master Mallory threw a file of documents on the table. "Look at the mess you''ve made!"


    Pierre did not bother looking at the papers. He knew what they were about without seeing them.


    Luke, that ipetent man, could onlyin to the elders. What good would it do?


    "Dad..." Karen nced at Pierre''s expression and realized he had no intention of dealing with this.


    It fell to her, as his mother, to handle the situation.


    *Pierre''s leg isn''t in good shape. We were desperate, so we asked Luca to help with treatment. We even recorded it, thinking we could show other doctors how she treated him to avoid bothering her frequently," exined Karen.


    "Hmph!" Old Master Mallory was not easily convinced.


    "Invite her back? By kidnapping her? Kidnapping is kidnapping, no matter how you phrase it!"


    Karen bit her lip.


    Old Master Mallory continued, "When Luke''s people came to get her, you pulled a knife?"


    "I lost control of my emotions, admitted Karen.


    "Do you know who you injured? The sister of the leader of an underground organization in Russia! Karen, do you think the Mallory family is so powerful we can afford to provoke international criminals?" Old Master Mallory raised his cane, pointing it at her.


    The distance between the two couches was not far, and the cane nearly touched Karen''s face.


    She scooted to the side, fearing he might hit her.


    "Dad, I''m sorry. I''ll go buy some gifts and visit Ms. Vivian to apologize." Karen felt uneasy, but she had no choice but to admit her mistake.


    She felt humiliated.


    The esteemed madam of the Mallory family, after over 20 years in the business world, had fallen to this state.


    Having to apologize to a young woman!


    "You''d better apologize! Otherwise, our family will be targeted!" warned Old Master Mallory.


    Karen''s face showed her frustration.


    Old Master Mallory turned to Pierre, "And Pierre, be honest with me. Aside from difficulty walking, does your leg injury have any otherplications?"


    "Dad, it''s just a broken leg. What otherplications could there be?" Karen suddenly remembered what Luca


    said yesterday.


    The news could not reach Old Master Mallory''s ears.


    Even if it did not affect fertility, who could be sure about it?


    Pierre would not discuss this with her either!


    If Old Master Mallory knew, he would be suspicious regardless.


    The Mallory family heir could not be infertile!


    Otherwise, the consequences could be disastrous. At best, when Pierre inherited Mallory Corporation, he would just be preparing it for Percy''s child. At worst, thepany could end up in the hands of distant rtives or even the family of Pierre''s wife.
