If they were really forced to separate from each other, she would go against her will for Percy''s sake no
matter how reluctant she was.
Percy was born into a wealthy family. Nina thought Percy should not give up his future for her.
That was why Nina had made up her mind after Old Master Mallory held the press conference.
If Percy eventually had to face so many enemies alone, Nina would take the initiative to leave him and
return him to the Mallory family.
Nina loved him, and she knew she was unwilling to see Percy suffer for the choice he made.
“You take up every corner of my life," said Percy with affection in his eyes.
They had already registered their marriage. Percy only had to wait until he had finished dealing with
Mallory Corporation''s matter, then he would be able to fulfill his promise and hold a grand wedding for
Nina.
When the time came, Percy would announce to the world that the woman he chose to be his wife
was Nina.
He was the one who got to decide who his wife was, not his family.
Nina gave him a faint smile and asked, "How did the meeting go?"
"Nothing can change my decision. Don''t worry about this. There are still people who are supporting us,"
said Percy.
"Do you mean Mr. Crawford? And Mr. Holston?" Nina asked. They were the closest to Percy. When it
came to the people standing on his side, both of them came to her mind first.
"Yes." Percy nodded. "There are others too. Anyway, those who are supporting us are more than you
can imagine."
In all his years of roaming the business world, most people valued the interests they could gain. Percy
could give them immeasurable benefits and interests, so those people would naturally take his side.
Moreover, they also knew what was best for them.
If Percy were incapable, the Mallory family would not have left Mallory Corporation for him to manage.
They knew it well.
Besides, Percy had another string to his bow. On the day of the shareholder''s meeting, he would
announce the information he had prepared to the public. At that time, even those who sided with Old
Master Mallory would probably not support Pierre any longer.
Nina looked at how calm Percy was and recalled there were no changes in his expression when the
news was published.
Nina thought maybe she should have more confidence in Percy. He could handle it well.
Furthermore, Percy had been preparing since he was arranged to marry someone else. There might be
a chance that he could win this time.
However, Nina still felt uneasy at the thought of the consequence behind his sess—his family
turning their backs on him.
"Let''s head to my office. We can leave after I keep my things," said Percy.
Nina came back to her senses and nced at the time. "Are you getting off work so early today?"
"Yes. I''ve finished handling my work. I''d like to keep my wifepany for the rest of the day." Percy
picked up the documents, held Nina''s hand, and walked upstairs.
They left Mallory Corporation after Percy packed his stuff.
Percy drove the car while Nina sat in the passenger seat.
"Oh, your mother..." Nina remembered what had happened to Madam Mallory.
"She''s stable and was discharged from the hospital. She''s at home now," answered Percy. Johann and
his butler had informed him about Madam Mallory''s situation.
The only difference was Johann told Percy not to worry about it. Many people had the same condition.
There would not be a problem if Madam Mallory paid attention to her blood pressure and took care of
her health.
On the contrary, the butler asked Percy to return to Mallory Manor to sort things out with Old Master
Mallory and Madam Mallory.
It was the best time to clear the air between him and Madam Mallory.
However, Percy was reluctant to do so.
What they did to Nina was out of line. Now, they were still against the thought of them being together.
Even so, Percy was confident that he could get what he wanted even with Nina by his side.
"I bought some supplements that are good for patients with high blood pressure when I went to the
pharmacy yesterday. Why don''t you send the supplements to her tomorrow?" Nina asked gently. She
refused to see the rtionship between Percy and Madam Mallory worsen.
They were the ones who caused Madam Mallory''s blood pressure to fluctuate.
However, Percy had not gone back home to visit his mother. He did not even call to ask if she was
okay.
If others knew about it, they would have something on him.
Perhaps Percy would be called a son who failed to show respect and honor his mother.
"If I go back now, they''ll just be angry at me. Let''s wait until this matter has been solved," said Percy.
He had no intention of going back to Mallory Manor.
His family would take that as Percy giving in to them.
Now, Percy and the Mallory family were standing against each other. They were also in a hostile
rtionship.
Once a party gave in, the other side would only attack more fiercely. The stakes were high, so they
would do anything they could.
Even though Percy knew Madam Mallory had been discharged from the hospital and returned home,
he did not intend to go home and visit her.
Nina fell silent. What Percy said made sense too.
However, would he be able to go home peacefully after this ended?
No matter which side won, Percy would only be reprimanded by them when he went home.
Percy was in the same situation as Nina now. They could no longer think about the familial love they
had back then. The only way to make them stronger was to be cold and heartless.

Hence, the couple shared many things inmon.
The two of them were in the same boat.
"That''s true..." Nina had no choice but to agree with Percy''s thoughts.
On the other hand.
Mallory Manor.
"Madam, it''s time to take your medicine." The maid carried the tray and walked toward Madam
Mallory''s bedside. After she ced the ss of warm water and pills on the bedside table, she picked
up the pills and handed them to her.
Madam Mallory frowned. She had to take medicine twice every day, and she had been taking them for
two days. Her lips were dry and her mouth was parched. It was torturing.
"Madam, please take the medicine. You can only recover quickly after eating them." The maid noticed
that Madam Mallory was reluctant to take the medicine. She had no choice but to persuade her.
"What''s the point of taking these?" Madam Mallory picked up the pills. After she put them in her mouth,
she took the ss of water the maid handed to her and swallowed the pills with the water.
The maid let out a sigh of relief when she saw Madam Mallory take the medicine.
"Madam, you must take care of your health," advised the maid. The doctor gave Madam Mallory some
medicine. The number of pills she had to take would slowly decrease over time as it was to reduce and
control her blood pressure.
"You don''t have to tell me that. I know what''s wrong with my health. Any news from Percy today?"
Madam Mallory asked. Percy had not shown up in front of her since she passed out and was sent to
the hospital.
It was the caretaker Percy hired who had been taking care of her.
Percy did not even appear even after Madam Mallory got discharged from the hospital. It was
outrageous.
The maid put on an awkward expression and shook her head.
"Not even a call, huh?" Madam Mallory asked with a cold expression.
"Madam, Master Percy is probably busy with work. That''s why." The maid hesitated. It was unusual to
anyone who knew about this.
Percy was not abroad. He was in A City the entire time, but he never came to visit Madam Mallory.
It seemed like the mother-and-son rtionship was going downhill.
