Nina had deliberately ignored it when Madam Mallory rang the doorbell earlier.


    ''Did she think she could stop me? How foolish of her! The Mallories'' influence is far beyond what this


    b*tch can imagine!''


    Nina lowered her head. She was well aware of the wide gap between her and Percy.


    Nevertheless, she did not intend to let go just like that. She only acknowledged and epted her


    feelings for him after so many years. Although their rtionship came with hardships, she still wanted


    to give it her best shot.


    After all, she had no other attachments to this world, nor any worries or burdens. Falling in love with


    Percy was the only way she could save herself.


    ''Since there''s no way out and nothing to lose, why should I let go of my soul mate?''


    Percy held Nina''s hand tightly as they faced Madam Mallory''s imposing manner. He was calm.


    "You''re right on something you just said. We should indeed refer to others with the appropriate title. I


    called Nina that because we''re already legally married," Percy said as he raised her hand and showed


    Madam Mallory the ring on Nina''s ring finger.


    He put the ring on her when they got their marriage license abroad.


    Nina would never take off the ring.


    "What? You''re married?!" Madam Mallory was surprised, but she calmed down after a second. She


    said smugly, "So what? You married abroad, so your marriage is only recognized abroad. In A City, you


    don''t have the documents to go through the relevant formalities with her. Your marriage is not


    recognized here."


    "I have my documents," Percy said calmly. He got everything ready long before Nina epted his love.


    At that time, he had already decided that Nina was the only one he wanted to stand by his side for the


    rest of his life.


    He chose to get married abroad out of convenience. They nned to get it notarized in A City so even


    if Old Master Mallory tried anything with the Civil Affairs Bureau employees, they would have a legally


    binding marriage license. No one could change the fact that he and Nina were husband and wife.


    "What a joke! Your passport is still in Mallory Manor. Where did you get the necessary documents to


    get a marriage license?" Madam Mallory did not believe Percy because Old Master Mallory had them


    lock up his passport after he announced that he had gotten together with Nina.


    There would be no way for Percy to get married even if he wanted to. After all, they could not get


    married in A City if he did not have his passport.


    "Are you sure?" Percy looked at her indifferently as if he was looking at a stranger, not at his biological


    mother.


    "What do you mean..." Madam Mallory was a little stunned when she saw Percy''s reaction. She


    thought of something and immediately picked up her phone to call the Mallory family''s butler, Mr.


    Be.


    "Go confirm something for me. Ask Pierre to check if Percy''s passport is still in the safe," she said with


    a hurried tone.


    The password to the safe was only known to Old Master Mallory, her, and Pierre. The servants working


    at the manor had no clue. The three of them would never steal the passport to help Percy and Nina.

    If Percy wanted to get his passport, he had no other choice but to destroy the safe.


    An rm would sound if the safe at home was damaged. They did not hear the rm go off as far as


    they could remember, and the safe was still in good condition.


    "Don''t bother. My passport is still in the safe," Percy said calmly.


    Madam Mallory frowned and looked at him, "What do you mean by that?"


    "That''s my old passport. I got a new one when you tried to arrange a marriage with the Johnstons for


    me," Percy said.


    He had nned everything out to be with Nina.


    Nina was surprised to hear that he prepared everything ahead of time just to be with her.


    She remembered the sweet words that Percy often whispered in her ear, telling her that she was his


    the first time heid eyes on her.


    Nina did not believe him at the time. However, after she heard Percy''s confession, she began to


    believe that Percy had nned everything a long time ago just to be with her.


    "What did you say?" Madam Mallory did not believe what she heard.


    Percy kept quiet.


    Pierre''s voice came from the other end of the phone, "Mom, what did you ask me to find? The safe


    hasn''t been opened for a while."


    "I see. Let''s talk about it when I get back." Madam Mallory hung up the phone and stood up. "Percy, are


    you sure you want to go against your grandfather to the end to marry this woman?"


    "Nina is my choice. If you ept it, great. If you refuse to ept it, it has nothing to do with me." Percy


    said with a cold expression. Since the cat was out of the bag, he did not feel the need to hide anything


    anymore.


    "Since you already know, I''ll contact reporters tomorrow and tell them the good news."


    "You... How dare you?!" Madam Mallory''s body swayed. She was a little dizzy from the anger.


    "I''ll make the necessary arrangements. All you and grandpa have to do is wait and watch the news


    tomorrow." Percy maintained a cold expression, not taking Madam Mallory''s reaction to heart.


    Nina pulled his hand and motioned for him to stop talking.


    "You wouldn''t dare. If you do that, you''ll no longer be the CEO of Mallory Corporation!" Madam Mallory


    threatened. The only thing that she had left to use against him was his role in Mallory Corporation.


    Percy was born to be God''s favored one. She did not believe that he would give up a bright future for


    Nina.


    "Whatever, I don''t care." After Percy finished speaking, he nced at Nina to make it clear that she


    was the only one that he cared about.


    "You, you..." Madam Mallory felt as though it was a stranger standing in front of her. Out of nowhere,


    she cked out and fell on the sofa.


    "Aunt Karen..." Nina was the first to notice that something was wrong. She wanted to step forward to


    help her, but she was not as fast as the speed at which Madam Mallory fell.


    "Call an ambnce!" Nina turned around and shouted at Percy. Her hands supported Madam Mallory''s


    shoulders to prevent her from falling to the ground while she was unconscious.


    Percy frowned. He did not think that his mother was acting, so he took out his phone and hurriedly


    called for an ambnce.


    Madam Mallory was sent to the emergency room in a panic. She was attended to behind the blinds for


    half an hour before Johann came out and said to them, "The patient suddenly fainted due to high blood


    pressure. Her blood pressure is stable now, but she still needs to be hospitalized for observation. Does


    she have hypertension?"


    Percy shook his head and responded, "Her blood pressure alwayses out normal in the annual


    physical examination."


    "In that case, she fainted due to external stimuli," Johann confirmed and jotted it down on the medical


    record. "Although her blood pressure had been normal, this sudden high blood pressure caused her to


    faint. To be on the safe side, she should monitor her blood pressure so as not to have this happen


    again. There are manyplications of hypertension. Her hospitalization is also to avoid any


    seque.”


    "Okay." Percy nodded.


    Nina was worried. "Dr. Park, will Aunt Karen be alright?"
