"He borrowed money from loan sharks and couldn''t pay it back, so he got beaten up. What does it have


    to do with me?" Nina frowned. She thought that Anna was being ridiculous. Her bias toward Jean was


    driving Nina into a corner.


    "If you had given him money, he wouldn''t have to borrow money from loan sharks. You made him do


    this. My poor boy... If something happens to him, I''ll leave this world too." Anna hugged Jean. Her heart


    ached when she saw her son hurt. She was prepared to give up on her life.


    The patient on the bed beside them noticed themotion and walked out of the ward in silence.


    After all, Anna''s cry was irritating.


    Nina sneered and said, "You''re my mother. I need to support you and give you living expenses every


    month, so my burden is already heavy enough. Why do you want me to be responsible for Jean''s living


    expenses? He''s my brother, not my father nor my son. Why should I be responsible for him?"


    "He''s your brother, you should be responsible for him! My poor boy, it''s your sister who caused you to


    be lying on the bed. If you don''t make it, I''ll die with you. After we die, we''ll make sure that she doesn''t


    find peace," Anna scolded Nina while she cried.


    Luca felt ufortable as she listened to Anna rant...


    She could not help but get angry. "Ms. O''Reilly, Nina has no obligation to support her brother. This


    incident was caused by Jean. Nina is not to me. If you continue talking nonsense, I''ll leave with


    Nina."


    When Anna heard that Luca wanted to leave with Nina, she immediately stood up and yelled, "Who do


    you think you are?! How dare you get involved with our family affairs? Nina is Jean''s younger sister.


    Younger sisters are supposed to take care of their brothers. It''s only right! If she dares to leave today,


    I''ll jump from here!"


    "That''s a threat." Luca''s expression sank. She was fuming.


    "What?! I''m talking to my daughter. Why is an outsider interrupting us?!" Anna put her hands on her


    hips. She was still in a wheelchair when she came in. Now, she had stood up and looked like a shrew.


    Luca still wanted to say something, but Nina tugged on her sleeve, so she forced herself to stay silent.


    "If you dare to jump, go for it. Go jump now. I''ll jump with you. Let''s see how Jean will live without you!"


    Nina said in despair.


    Anna was shocked. She did not really n to jump off the building.


    After all, if she was dead, she would no longer receive a pension. How would Jean survive then?


    Although Anna was biased toward Jean, she knew Jean well. If she died, Jean would not be able to


    survive and would be waiting to die.


    He would either starve to death, be beaten to death, or be imprisoned.


    Anna knew that Nina would not care about Jean, so she decided to sit on the floor. "I don''t want to live


    anymore! Look at the kind of good daughter that I gave birth to. You actually asked me to go die? I


    want to expose you! I want the media to know how unfilial you are!"


    Nina was raving mad when she heard what Anna said. "Be my guest. Do you need me to contact the


    biggest newspaper in the city for you?"

    "I''ll call them now. Just you wait, Nina! You won''t have a good time if I''m not having a good time!" Anna


    wentpletely mad. She picked up her phone and was about to make a call.


    Luca reminded her, "If you ruin Nina''s life, you won''t have a good life as well."


    Anna was startled.


    Although Nina had her career, she still had to rely on Percy. If she destroyed Nina, it would be


    impossible for them to ask her for favors in the future.


    Luca knew what she was thinking about and said, "You''ve caused so much trouble so many times


    before, yet Nina is still looking out for you. Do you think she''ll continue to look after you if you continue


    to make a scene?"


    Anna made up her mind, dialed 114, and asked for the reporter''s number.


    "If you expose this to reporters and ckmail Nina further, the Mallory family will never ept her. If


    she breaks up with Mr. Mallory, she''ll have to start over in another city. She''s gone to university and has


    a good few years of experience under her belt, so she''ll be able to find a good job to support herself.


    On the contrary, if Nina leaves, do you think that your pension, plus Jean''s sry as a security guard,


    will be able to cover your medical expenses?” Luca was indifferent as she looked at Anna trying to


    make a call. Although she was fuming, she reminded Anna in a cold tone.


    On the other end of the call, the automated voice said, "Hello, please press one for inquiries..."


    Anna did not press any buttons. She took a deep breath to toughen herself and said, "Don''t threaten


    me."


    "Luca isn''t threatening you. You can tell the reporters and media that I''m unfilial and bad-mouth me.


    Even if I break up with Percy, I''ll just be like my dad and move to another city." Nina was tearing up.


    She felt extremely helpless.


    Without Luca, Anna would have gone off on her.


    Anna hung up the phone and cried holding Jean in her arms. "Son, wake up. These two are bullying


    your mother, my poor son..."


    "Aunt, the doctor said that Jean''s body has multiple fractures. Do you want to break more of his


    bones?" Luca deliberately frightened her.


    Anna jumped back immediately.


    Her movements were agile. She did not look like someone who needed to be hospitalized.


    She stared at Luca, then at Nina. "I don''t care. You''ll give your brother 5,000 dors in living expenses


    every month moving forward."


    "In A City, the monthly sry of a security guard is 5,000 dors. If that doesn''t work out, he can deliver


    food. When he recovers, I can buy a bike for him, but I won''t give him 5,000 dors in allowance every


    month." Nina''s attitude was firm. She knew in her heart that even if she bought a bike for Jean, he


    would sell it and squander the money.


    "Your brother is a graduate of a famous university and has studied abroad, but you''re asking him to go


    be a security guard? No, absolutely not! You can arrange a senior management position for him in your


    company. I''ll be off your back then.” Anna disagreed.


    In her opinion, Jean was a graduate of a famous university and had gone abroad. She believed that his


    status was precious. She would never let him work a job like a security guard.


    "Mypany doesn''t have any vacancies, and there won''t be one anytime soon!" Nina''s attitude was


    tough.


    If Jean joined Brilliant Architectural Design LLC, the office would be turned upside down.


    Luke and Old Master Crawford had helped her a lot. She could never bring herself to hurt them.


    "Then you''ll pay for his living expenses. You make so much money a month, and Percy gives you


    money to spend. Don''t tell me you can''t give him 5,000 dors per month?" Anna looked at Nina and


    forced her to bend to her will.


    "If Jean had broken his hands and feet, I''ll give him 5,000 dors. However, if his hands and feet still


    work, don''t even think about it!" Nina''s attitude was firm. Her eyes were red because she was holding


    back her tears.
