    Chapter 3250 Karen''s Approach To Parenting Is A Complete Failure


    It felt like being part of an experiment.


    Both he and Pierre were test subjects under different educational methods, and the oue was yet to be seen.


    Karen was startled for a moment, but she understood what Percy meant. "It''s not that I''m biased. It''s just that your grandfather specifically chose you as the heir, so you had a heavy burden and no time toze around."


    Percy nodded.


    Karen continued, "You see, my strictness is what helped you achieve what you have today, isn''t it?"


    Percy nodded again.


    Karen felt reassured that she had not done anything wrong when she heard that.


    It was not about favoritism; it was about raising an heir.


    *So now, despite how different we are, I still don''t understand why your heart always seems to be with him-even though I am obviously more capable." Percy wasn''t particrly needy for maternal affection.


    However, he wondered why, despite his efforts, he never received her approval.


    Karen was stunned for a moment.


    She knew she had been biased.


    She had always favored her younger son.


    That wasmon in families with multiple children, but she could not honestly admit her favoritism in the face of Percy''s questioning.


    *Pierre is willful. Is it wrong for me to keep a closer eye on him? You, on the other hand, are mature under your grandfather''s guidance, so I pay less attention to you. But Percy, that doesn''t justify your rebellious behavior!" replied Karen, feeling ufortable under such questioning.


    Percy smirked. "How exactly am I being rebellious?"


    *If you weren''t being rebellious, why wouldn''t you follow the family''s arrangements? Why insist on being with that woman?" Karen''s disgust at Nina red up again.


    They should be living together now, but she had not seen that woman even after standing here for so long.


    She might still be lounging around!


    She really had no sense of manners!


    What right did such a woman have to be a daughter-inw of the Mallory family?


    "I chose my own love. That''s not rebellion. Also, why are you here today?" Percy''s tone grew colder. He was not interested in discussing how biased Karen had been in the past.Content belong to N?velDráma. Org.


    Karen was caught off guard.


    She could not admit that she was here because of a big argument with Pierre, where he med her for everything, making her upset and prompting her to see Percy.


    It might make Percy think she was looking forfort.


    "I was just passing by and thought I''d check on you," replied Karen.


    Percy asked, "Did you argue with Pierre?"


    Karen''s expression froze. "No."


    *Grandpa went to see you?" Percy asked again.


    *You knew your grandfather came to look for me?" asked Karen, realizing only then how na?ve she sounded.


    Luke was a good friend of Percy''s, so, of course, he would know how to handle her and Pierre. He might even show Percy some consideration.


    Before Percy could answer, Karen pressed on, "You knew your grandfather would being for us, but you didn''t give me a heads-up?"


    "Would giving you a heads-up have helped? Avoiding the situation isn''t a solution. If Grandpa finds out you tried to avoid him, he''ll be even angrier!" exined Percy.


    Old Master Mallory''s temper was such that evading the issue would only make him more furious over time. The longer one avoided confronting him, the worse his outburst would beter.


    Karen was at a loss for words. He was right.


    "I won''t hold that against you, but you''re friends with Luke, and this situation didn''t cause much damage. Couldn''t you have spoken up for me and Pierre? Why did it have to be reported to Old Master Mallory? Do you know what he said to me just now?" Karen continued to me him.


    Percy found it amusing. How could she be so righteous when she was clearly in the wrong?


    He was not concerned with what Old Master Mallory had said to her, but he said, "If it weren''t for Luke taking my friendship with him into consideration, you and Pierre would be in the police station right now, not out here wandering around."


    Karen''s face turned pale.


    Percy added, "Nina and I are getting married soon."


    He did not hide this from her as it was something that could not be kept secret.


    Karen''s expression grew even darker when she heard this.


    Percy continued, "If we weren''t about to get married and it wouldn''t be appropriate if the Mallory family got into a scandal now, Luke would''ve called the police. He''s already done me a favor.


    "You and Pierre have made mistakes. The matter can''t just be brushed aside. There were so many issues yesterday, and you haven''t even thought about apologizing. You made mistakes and show no remorse..."


    Karen''s expression was now grim. Her hands were clenched into fists.


    *So, Luke giving the information to Grandpa is already a light punishment for you!"


    Karen snapped, "Light punishment?! Now, your grandfather is saying I can''t go back to Mallory Manor. He ims that Mallory Manor and Mallory Corporation have nothing to do with me now!


    ''If I step out of line again, he''s gonna make your cheating fathere back and divorce me! And you tell me this is a light punishment? Percy, do you even have a heart? Am I doing all this for myself? I''m doing it for your brother! His leg''s still messed up, and what have you, as his brother, done about it?"


    Percy''s expression turned serious and cold in response to her outburst. "Pierre''s leg is his own fault. If he hadn''t been reckless and provoked the wrong people, he wouldn''t have faced such consequences. As his mother, you shouldn''t be indulging him.


    "You should be making him realize his mistakes. Everything that has happened is a lesson for him. You should make him understand that in the adult world, mistakes aren''t endlessly forgiven. His mistakes have real


    consequences.


    "Instead, you''ve made him think he''s untouchable just because he''s part of the Mallory family, and you''re constantly covering for him!"


    Karen''s face went white. She did not expect Percy to lecture her as well.


    "Besides, Pierre''s situation now is entirely due to your indulgence as his mother. You said you were strict with me because I was being groomed as the heir to the Mallory family, but what about him? It was fine to be less strict, but you shouldn''t have coddled him.


    "When Pierre was younger, he made many mistakes and was quite mischievous, but you just kept tolerating him, letting him be more and more unruly. He harmed others without apologizing to them, thinking he was invincible as a Mallory family member and wouldn''t have to face punishment. At the end of the day, you''re also to me."Content provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    Percy showed no mercy when he reprimanded her. As he watched Karen''s expression turn increasingly grim, his own demeanor grew even more serious.


    He felt no family band with Karen.


    Instead, he criticized her parenting methods as though he was a stranger.


    "He''s in his 20s, and you''re still coddling him. To put it bluntly, everything that''s happening today is your fault!"


    Percy''s wordsnded like a punch.


    Karen screeched, "Enough! I''m your mother!"


    *That doesn''t change the fact that your parenting is a failure. With me, you were just strict and nothing else. I was


    raised by Grandpa. Pierre is the product of your parenting."


    Percy coldly pointed out how Karen''s approach to parenting had been aplete failure.
