Bibbler’s Tale?


    A bar?


    Nina frowned after she hung up the phone. Luca was kidnapped, yet Luke was drinking at a bar?


    Although it was normal to drink at the bar, he had to attend to his business partners, after all. However,


    should he not be prioritizing finding Luca at a time like this?


    Nina suddenly thought that something was wrong when she thought so.


    Luca was not Binaca, and there was no need for Luke to be responsible for her, not to mention look for


    her.


    Nina found her keys, shook her head, and closed the door. She thought of what crossed her mind just


    now, and she thought it was because Luca was simr to Bianca, so she had such thoughts.


    Bibbler''s Tale.


    Percy drank a mouthful of liquor and watched Luke put his phone back in his pocket. Then, he asked,


    "Any news on Luca?"


    “Do you think I could sit here calmly if it was about her?"


    Percy nodded. "That''s true."


    Luke did not stop him as he looked at the man who seemed to want to get drunk. After all, someone


    was on her way here to convince him.


    As he watched Percy down more and more drinks, he thought he might speak his thoughtster.


    Percy touched his face when he noticed Luke staring at him. He asked, "Is there something on my


    face?"


    "No." Luke shook his head.


    "Stop watching me. Come on, drink a little. You''re pathetic too. Your wife was kidnapped again right


    after you found out that she came back. Sigh, I feel sorry for you." Percy had drunk too much, so he


    started babbling.


    His words touched a raw nerve of Luke''s. Even so, he did not mind what Percy said. After all, he could


    not talk reasonably with an almost drunk person. He reminded him calmly, "Don''t tell others that Luca''s


    real identity is Bea."


    Percy nodded, and he made a gesture of pulling a zip across his mouth. It meant that he would keep it


    a secret, and he would not tell anyone about it.


    Half an hourter, someone pushed the private room''s door open.


    Nina came in and saw Percy sitting there. She unconsciously stepped out.


    Thest person she wanted to see now was Percy Mallory.


    "Nina," Luke called out to stop her. "Didn''t you say you have something to tell me?"


    Nina snapped back to her senses and looked at Luke helplessly. She refused to throw another nce


    at Percy. She did have something to tell Luke, but she did not n to tell Percy about it...


    She would have chosen to tell Luke about it on the phone instead ofing here if he had told her that


    Percy was here too.


    “Do you minding out? I''ll tell you about it.” Nina made a concession.


    Percy was drunk, and his eyes were blurry. He looked at her quietly without doing anything.


    He was heartbroken to see how much she wanted to avoid him.


    "It''s crowded out there. Are you sure you want to talk about it there?” Luke asked, and he turned


    around to nce at his friend who had been drinking so much because of Nina. He would try his best


    to help him.


    After all, Percy had helped him and Bianca a lot too.


    Nina bit her lip and hesitated for some time. She walked in and closed the private room''s door after


    considering that Luca''s matter was much more important.


    "You can sit there." He pointed at the seat that was the farthest away from Percy.


    Percy nced in the direction where he pointed and red at him.


    Luke was helping Nina avoid him!


    Nina nced at the seat. Indeed, it was the farthest away from Percy.


    There were two empty bottles in front of him. It looked like he had drunk a lot. Sitting far away from him


    could make sure she was safe.


    Percy secretly sneered when he saw her sitting down obediently. She had never been so well-behaved


    with him.


    Luke looked at Nina. "Do you want a drink?"


    "I quit drinking," replied Nina. She was addicted to drinking when she was together with Percy back


    then. It was because alcohol could numb her feelings, so she often numbed herself with alcohol.


    However, she did not need that anymore.


    Nina was a free woman now. She was no longer living life without being given a title. She was bound to


    no man.


    Luke nodded and waited for her to talk.


    Percy remained silent as he continued to drink.


    Nina took a deep breath. She breathed in the air and could smell the alcohol. It was familiar to her, yet


    it disgusted her so much now.


    She said, "I saw the news, and I know Luca has been kidnapped. I think it has something to do with


    Pierre."


    Pierre? Luke unconsciously looked at Percy when he heard the name.

    He did not say anything. He furrowed his brows unconsciously when he heard her mention his brother''s


    name.


    "Pierre? Did he kidnap Luca?" Luke asked slowly. If Pierre was the one who did it, Percy would not let


    him get away with it even if Pierre was his brother.


    Bianca was the one Luke cherished most in his life. No matter who wanted toy their hands on her,


    they would have to pay for what they did. However, things were not clear enough yet.


    “I suspect it. Pierre came looking for mest night. He told me he wouldy his hands on the people


    around me if I didn''t listen to him." Nina recalled what he told her that night. Her body shivered


    unconsciously at the thought of it.


    Luke remained silent, and Percy sat up straight. He did not expect his brother to do something like this.


    He knew Nina was his ex-lover. How dare he have such thoughts?!


    Nina added, "My mother and brother are still in the hospital. They''re fine. But Luca went missing that


    same night. Besides that, she had also previously offended him to protect me, so I thought..."


    Luke understood what she meant. Pierre was a vindictive man. However, when Luca was defending


    Nina, he was there to defend Luca too.


    He did not expect Pierre to have the guts toy his hands on someone under his protection.


    "I''ll figure it out," replied Luke. After all, he was a member of the Mallory family. He could not go looking


    for trouble just based on what Nina had told him.


    He had to investigate the matter first.


    Nina begged him. "Mr. Crawford, please look into it as soon as possible. Pierre''s methods are terrifying.


    I''m afraid he''ll make Luca suffer if she''s really in his hands."


    Luke was worried too. He knew what a yer Pierre was. What if he forced Luca.


    He could no longer sit still. He looked at Percy. "I''m going to investigate your brother."


    "Go ahead. I''ll help you." Percy picked up his phone and began to order his subordinates to do the job.


    He was not someone who would defend and side with his family. He would not cover up for his brother


    if Pierre was really the culprit.


    Luke got his permission, so he stood up and said, "I''m leaving. I''ve got things to do."


    "I''m leaving too." Nina refused to be alone with Percy in the same room when she saw Luke leaving.


    She wanted to leave too.


    Luke shot a nce at his friend and asked thoughtfully, "Can you do me a favor?"


    "Yes?" Nina answered unwittingly.


    "Percy has had a lot to drink. Stay here and look after him for me. Don''t let him do anything crazy in the


    private room," Luke said.
