Even after some time had passed, Pierre could not forget the pain that he suffered.


    He wanted the pain to end, but it felt like he was stuck in a bottomless pit of suffering. He took so many


    painkillers that his mouth was bitter and his stomach felt ufortable. He did not want to go through


    that once more.


    "Pierre." Old Master Mallory gave him a way out.


    Pierre sat down and red at Luca. He was fuming and swore to find an opportunity to teach this


    woman a lesson.


    "Ms. Craw, it''s the first time I''ve heard of it. Since the police didn''t bother Pierre about it, mind your


    words." Old Master Mallory knew about it, but he would never admit it in front of Luca.


    "Mind my words? Mr. Pierre is unwilling to admit what he did in the past, but Nina is innocent. How can


    you use her of being a b*tch?" Her gaze was cold as she stared at the man in front of her


    If Percy was not the only one who was nice to Nina, she thought that the entire Mallory family would go


    to hell because none of them were innocent!


    "You!" Pierre was annoyed by her sharp words.


    "Pierre, sit down!" Old Master Mallory frowned at his restlessness.


    Pierre had no choice but to sit still and hold back his anger.


    "Since you said that, it means that the news reports are inurate. I heard that you''re going to pick on


    her and even force her to leave Mr. Percy because of this fake news? That''s a bit far-fetched. Please


    leave. Nina won''t listen to you. She has a solid rtionship with Mr. Percy. Even if you don''t ept


    them, you won''t be able to break them up because they''ve been in love for so many years. You can


    choose to ept it. Even if you don''t ept it, I don''t think you need to do these things and say these


    words. After all, as their elder, there are a lot of things that you can''t solve. The decision is still on


    them," Luca said.


    The moment Pierre started speaking, she had already prepared this speech.


    "What a sharp tongue!" Old Master Mallory was raving mad. He mmed the crutches in his hand hard


    on the floor and said, "Ms. Craw, I wasted my time listening to your rant because I respect the Crawford


    family. However, it doesn''t mean that you have the right to use me or tell me how to do things. Now,


    I''ll leave with Nina. Even if you try, you won''t be able to do anything about it. Don''t force me to do things


    the hard way."


    Old Master Mallory had been wanting to find someone to grab Nina, but Percy protected her too well.


    There were bodyguards in the vi, so he could not take Nina away by force.


    He did not expect Nina to go to the Crawford family to avoid them.


    There were no bodyguards around, only some security guards. He knew the real estate developer, so


    he could get the security guards to stay away. Old Master Mallory was confident that he would get hold


    of Nina.


    "You want to bulldoze your way through? I don''t see any bodyguards with you. By the way, Old Master


    Mallory, I''ve practiced martial arts. If you don''t mind Mr. Pierre being hospitalized for a month or two,


    come for me. There are cameras here. It''ll be obvious who started it. The police can make their


    judgment based on the evidence." Luca pointed to the cameras. She made it clear that she would not


    be on the losing end even without Luke.


    If they fought, Pierre would be the one to suffer.


    Pierre knew his skills were not as good as Luca''s, so he whispered to Old Master Mallory, "Grandpa, let


    the men outsidee in. This crazy woman fights well."


    Old Master Mallory looked at the woman in front of him with a sullen expression.


    It did not seem like she was bragging...


    "I see," Luca murmured. ‘They''ve prepared back up. No wonder they''re acting so tough.''


    "There''s a video call that you should take before making any rash decisions," Luca said. No matter how


    good she was, she still could not handle more than a handful of men. On top of that, the kids were


    upstairs.


    If Nina was snatched by them, the children would be traumatized. Hence, she changed her mind about


    not bothering Old Master Crawford.


    After all, as a mother, she had to protect her children so that they would not be hurt the slightest. As


    Nina''s best friend, she also wanted to protect her.


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    Luca took out her phone and called Old Master Crawford.


    Old Master Crawford picked up the call after it rang once. He looked at Luca kindly and said, "Luca,


    leave it to me."


    Before she called him, Luke had called him and briefly exined the matter.


    He made it clear that he wanted Old Master Crawford to help Luca and protect Nina.


    Old Master Crawford agreed immediately. After these few incidents, his friendship with Old Master


    Mallory was no longer what it used to be. They were still in touch, but that was only because there were


    profits involved.


    "Okay, Old Master Crawford." Luca put her phone on the coffee table and used a cup to support it. The


    front camera was aimed at the Old Master Mallory.


    Old Master Mallory''s mood sank when he heard Old Master Crawford''s voice.


    "Yo, Mallory, it''s you! Shouldn''t you be resting at home? Why did you bring your grandson and rtives


    to Luke''s house?" Old Master Crawford teased. His expression was in a stark juxtaposition to Old


    Master Mallory''s.


    Old Master Mallory went straight to the point, "I don''t want to disturb the peace of the Crawfords. I


    came here so I could take someone who has nothing to do with the Crawfords with me."


    Old Master Crawford did not answer. Instead, he nced at Pierre, who was sitting next to Old Master


    Mallory. He asked with a smile on his face, "Pierre, why are you here? The matter you promised me


    and


    Luke isn''t resolved yet. Didn''t you promise that you''ll bring the culprit to the police station? How are you


    so free to visit Luke''s?" "I''ll get it done as soon as possible." Pierre was fuming and could not help


    himself from smashing his phone into pieces.


    "d to hear that. After all, Luke has never been very patient since he was a child. You should move


    faster. By the way, if all is well, you should make your departure so that you won''t disturb my


    greatgrandchildren from their rest. They have to go to school tomorrow. Also, Mallory, if you take things


    lightly, you might end up like me where you have four generations living together." Old Master Crawford


    smiled. He was amused by their gloomy expressions.


    He was not at all annoyed at having to deal with the Mallory family. After all, after he realized Old


    Master Mallor''s true colors, he found it amusing to see the other party''s stern expression


    Luca listened by the side and felt a little helpless. She thought that Old Master Crawford was a


    humorous and interesting man.


    "You don''t have to worry about us. I told you that I''m here for Nina. Have Ms. Craw release her and I''ll


    leave immediately so that I won''t disturb your precious great-grandchildren." Old Master Mallory


    insisted. He did not intend to return empty-handed this time.


    After all, it was rare that Percy was not around Nina to protect her.
