"Madam Mallory, this isn't Mallory Manor. If you've got something to say, just spit it out. I'm not interested in hearing you beat about the bush," replied Luca in a cold voice.

A wave of anger roused within Karen. What kind of attitude was this?

Did she think she was all that just because she had Luke supporting her?

The thought of Luke made Karen even more enraged. Why was it that people and things associated with this name always seemed to be exceptionally difficult to deal with?

"I have something to discuss with you!" When Karen saw that Luca was about to leave the restroom, she thought if she did not sort things out here, she would not have the chance to do so later.

She did not want anyone to see her begging Luca.

Even if Percy might help her if he knew about it, she did not want him to witness this scene. It was too embarrassing.

Luca paused for a moment, unable to imagine what Karen wanted to talk to her about.

Could it be about what happened with Nina before? However, she only let Nina into her house. In the eyes of outsiders, Nina was taken in by Luke, not her. It had nothing to do with her.

Plus, even if she did take Nina in, what difference did it make? Now that Percy was back, if Karen had any grievances, she could just go directly to him instead of taking it out on an outsider like her.

"I've heard about your dry needling skills. They're quite impressive." Karen did not care if Luca responded, she just went straight to the point of what she wanted to discuss this time.

Luca was startled for a moment.

How did she know?

Percy could not have told her, so how did Karen know?

Speaking of dry needling, Luca roughly knew what the other party wanted to talk about. She turned around, looked at Karen, and said, "Madam Mallory, I don't know where you heard this from, but I have no idea what you're talking about."

"Stop pretending like you don't understand. I know all about it. You've been treating Old Master Crawford, the Rayne family, and even that person in the hospital with a serious brain injury, who was practically on the verge of being disabled.

"And thanks to your dry needling treatment, he has bounced back... Well, he hasn't exactly recovered, but he's no longer disabled.
