Chapter 2882 Family Rallied As One

Margaret did not even consider the situation the Jackman family would face.

Working with an empty-headed person was both a good thing and a bad thing for Karen.

The good part was that foolish people were easy to manipulate, but the bad part was that someone like Margaret, whose primary focus revolved around her aversion to tasks and responsibilities, could easily cause trouble.

Karen clicked her tongue. Her mouth tasted bitter. She attributed it to the blood pressure medication she had taken earlier. She made her way down the stairs lazily.

She headed to the dining room. Old Master Mallory was already having his meal.

Ever since she started taking blood pressure medicine that could affect her emotions, Old Master Mallory never dined with her again. They mostly had their meals at different times.

Having often played the role of a dutiful daughter-in-law, Karen no longer bothered to conform to Old Master Mallory's daily routine after that incident. She did not sit down to eat when she saw him dining. Instead, she greeted the old man, "Father, you're having dinner this early?"

Old Master Mallory put down his cutlery and nodded at her. His voice was calm as he replied to her, "Sit down. I have something to talk to you about."

Karen's eyes flickered as she resisted and complained at the same time, "Father, can't we talk after you've finished your meal? I'm going to pour myself a glass of juice. The medicine is making my mouth bitter."

"Let the maid get it for you if you'd like to have a glass of juice. Sit down," Old Master Mallory's voice carried a stern tone that brooked no refusal.

Karen had no choice but to listen to him and sit down.

Even though she could not fathom what Old Master Mallory was going to say, she knew it was likely to be a reprimand. After all, the look on his face was quite unpleasant. He was probably going to bring up Pierre's matter to give her a hard time.

"What have you been up to lately?" Old Master Mallory finally asked after sipping his soup. He spoke with an unfathomable intonation.

Karen's eyes flickered, trying to figure out what was going on in Old Master Mallory's head. She held her chin up lazily and answered, "You told me to rest at home. That's what I've been doing."
