Percy stood there, looking disheveled. "Send me back. It''ll be inconvenient to drive mine."


    Nina thought for a moment. Indeed, she had to use her car tomorrow. She would have to hail a ride and


    drive her car back if she drove Percy home with his car.


    Although she was disgusted by the strong alcohol smell on him, she wanted to rest early today. Hence,


    she pulled out her keys and pressed the button.


    The car that was parked on the roadside beeped at once.


    Nina said, “Come on, get him into the car.”


    The waiter chose not to say anything and helped him get into Nina''s car since Percy was one of the


    bar''s VIPs.


    She took a deep breath and looked at the man in the passenger seat. Then, she got into the car.


    She forgot to remind the waiter, who immediately ced Percy in the front passenger seat. She had no


    choice but to give up on the idea. She would save herself the trouble of moving him to the backseat.


    The air in the car was filled with a strong alcohol smell when she closed the door.


    It was so strong that Nina was worried the traffic police would think that she was drunk driving if she


    breathed in a few more puffs. She opened all the car windows.


    "It''s nighttime. I''m cold." Percy mumbled as he lifted his hand, trying to close the window.


    Nina rolled her eyes. Back then, he was never this talkative after drinking. He was so talkative today,


    and it annoyed her. "You stink of alcohol. I''m just trying to get some fresh air."


    Percy listened to what she said and fell silent for a moment.


    When Nina thought he would finally stop talking, he spoke again, "You never used to think that I wasn''t


    good enough."


    "You used to..." Nina paused for a moment. Indeed, she never used to think that he was not good


    enough. It was because she thought she was not good enough. Sheughed at herself and said, "Do


    you know why? Because you were my financial support at that time. Who was I to think that you


    weren''t good enough? But things are different now. I''m free, and I have the right to think so."


    Percy was unhappy to hear that, but he could not be bothered to talk that much. He might as well just


    close his eyes.


    Nina did not hear any reply from him. She wondered if she had gone too far with her words, but did it


    even matter if she was mean to him?


    Percy was not short of women who admired him, and she never knew how to please him. There were


    still many women out there who were willing to tter him withpliments to please him.


    He could ask her to stop the car anytime he wanted if he was unhappy with her.


    Moreover, this would be theirst time seeing each other if nothing unexpected happened again. All


    was fine as long as he never showed up in front of her again.


    There was dead silence in the car. Nina was breathing the air that carried his smell, and she told


    herself to focus on driving.


    Percy''s phone rang.


    Nina knew that it was the Instagram message notification.


    Percyzily pulled his phone out of his pocket and nced at it. Then, he typed a few words and put it


    back into his pocket without saying a word.


    Nina could not hold herself back any longer and asked, "Any news on Luca?"


    "No," Percy spoke calmly, "They said Pierre never left the house today."


    "What do you mean? Him not leaving the house doesn''t mean that he''s not a suspect. If he''s the


    mastermind behind this, there''s no need for him to leave the house. Besides, he didn''t leave the house


    today but he was running aroundst night. It''s probably because he''s the mastermind and no one can


    find out what he didst night."


    "I know how to do this. You don''t have to worry about it." Percy felt a pain in his head when he listened


    to her words.


    Nina was suddenly so talkative when she used to be quiet back then. Percy was having mixed feelings.


    This was her true nature...


    She was talkative, and she talked about something over and over again. She waspletely different


    from the good and quiet Nina who used to be with him.


    Was he wrong for keeping her beside him?


    Percy was feeling a little upset for taking so much time to realize this. Things would have been different


    between him and Nina if he were able to realize some things as early as Luke did.


    She was destined to be his woman no matter how many times she tried to escape from him.


    "Don''t defend him just because he''s Pierre." Nina hit the brake and stopped in front of the red light. She


    shot a nce at the man beside her.


    Percy had been upset all this while. He got even more depressed when he heard her say that.


    He replied, "Nina, is that what you think of me?"


    Nina fell silent when she heard the anger in his voice.


    He had done a lot of things before, and she knew about all of it.


    She had heard from others about what he had done, but she had no idea if that was the truth.


    Therefore, she had never judged him for being the kind of person he was.


    However, she had always been prejudiced against Pierre when it was about him.


    Percy had never mentioned all those things Pierre previously did to her. He would only take the me


    on behalf of his brother even after he bullied her in the public.


    Nina had enough of it as it often happened. She never thought about asking him to seek justice for her


    either.


    Therefore, she still believed that Percy would always take Pierre''s side.


    Percy stared at her side profile, feeling disappointed. It turned out that this was her impression of him.


    He thought that he had done enough, but it seemed like she still had many misunderstandings about


    him.


    It seemed like he had to do better in the future.


    Percy noticed Nina was very concerned about Luca after talking with her. Things would probably be


    easier for him if he started with Luca.


    "I''ll look into Luca''s kidnapping case. I won''t let Pierre get away with it if he''s the one behind this." He


    promised her at once. Never mind him, but Luke definitely would not let Pierre get the chance to


    escape unscathed.


    "Where are you staying now?" Nina changed the subject of conversation. The traffic light had turned


    green. Up ahead was the vi they had stayed in before, while Percy''s private vi was on the left.


    "To the left," Percy answered.


    He moved back to his private vi when Nina insisted on leaving him. He would miss her a lot if he


    stayed in the vi where they had stayed together before.


    He thought he might as well move back to his private vi since it was too torturing for him.


    Nina was startled for a moment. It was normal for him to move back to his vi. She did know why she


    felt a little disappointed.


    She hit the elerator and turned to the left when the car behind them honked.


    Percy picked up this phone. He ced his phone in his arms after sending a message to Pierre.

    Nina parked her car at the entrance of his private vi 15 minutester. She reminded without looking


    at the person sitting in the passenger seat, saying, "We''re here."


    "I''m drunk." Percy closed his eyes and sat there without moving.


    "Does that mean you can''t walk on your own?" Nina mocked him. "I knew you couldn''t hold your liquor


    well. Don''t drink so much again if you can''t even walk when you''re drunk."


    Percy remained silent. He did not unfasten his seat belt, and he did not intend to get out of the car


    either.


    Nina patiently helped him to unfasten his seat belt. Then, she pushed the car door open.


    Percy thought she was going to help him get out of the car, but he saw her walking toward the gate and


    ringing the doorbell.
