That way, it would not be too loud even though one would hear Karen if they walked past the room.
Old Master Mallory sneered and said to the woman who was shouting in her bedroom, “Stay in there.
I''ll find Pierre."
Then, he returned to the living room.
That was when Mr. Be hurried into the house. "Old Master Mallory, has Madame back yet?"
"I locked her up in her bedroom. No one''s allowed to let her out before Pierrees back," replied Old
Master Mallory.
"Yes, sir. But I don''t think it''s a good idea to treat her that way..." Mr. Be weighed each word as he
spoke.
He knew why Old Master Mallory locked Karen up. What she did today had disgraced the Mallory
family.
Old Master Mallory, who had always cared about the Mallory family''s reputation, was mad at her.
"What''s so bad about it? There''s a bed, a sofa, and a TV in her room. It''s more luxurious than a 5-star
hotel. I don''t see anything wrong." Old Master Mallory glowered at him.
Karen had been behaving abnormally these days.
She had been making calls and going through documents all day and night, trying to prove that
everything that Pierre had done that was exposed on the inte was legal.
However, she became more and more bad-tempered.
Almost every maid had been scolded by her for the past two days. Still, the most serious problem was
that after she knew Pierre had been kidnapped, she was unable to remain calm, not even for a
moment.
She waspletely different from the elegant woman she used to be.
Mr. Be immediately nodded and went along with him. Suddenly, he recalled what Old Master
Crawford said. Then, Mr. Be said, "Old Master Mallory, Madam has been mentally and emotionally
unstable these days. I think her behavior is beyond the range of the side effects of her medication.
Should we hire a psychotherapist for her?"
"She does look ill. But do you have any particr psychotherapist in mind?" Old Master Mallory thought
that there was no way Karen could meet anyone if her illness deteriorated.
Karen was still a normal person before the new year. She became like after going into a state of shock
two to three times.
Old Master Mallory had no idea what Karen had done to deserve this.
“I don''t know any psychotherapists. But I heard that Master Luke''s wife was traumatized after being
kidnapped. She was mentally ill. They hired a psychotherapist to treat her, and she improved
progressively. She even left A City to further her studies abroad now," said Mr. Be.
Even though he was the butler of the Mallory family, he was Old Master Mallory''s assistant too. Hence,
he knew a lot of matters other than the ones in the family.
"Then hire the psychotherapist who treated her. If the psychotherapist isn''t in A City now, offer a high
price to get her back to the country." Old Master Mallory would not allow Karen''s sickness to get
serious. Thus, he nned to look for a professional to treat her.
"Yes, sir. That won''t be a problem. I heard that money is just loose change for her. We might need
Master Luke''s help to invite her toe over," said Mr. Be in a low voice.

"Why?" Old Master Mallory could not understand. It was just a psychotherapist. It was not like the
Mallory family could not afford to pay for the therapy services. Why did they have to ask for Luke''s
help?
"Rumor has it that the psychotherapist has a crush on Master Luke. That''s why we might not be able to
invite her even if we offer her a high price. But she''ll certainlye if we invite her using Luke''s name,"
exined Mr. Be. They had to inform Luke to invite the psychotherapist, and they would owe him a
favor.
Mr. Be had to ask for Old Master Mallory''s opinion before doing that.
"Luke really has plenty of admirers. I''ll leave it to you. Get it done, the sooner the better." After Old
Master Mallory said that, he reminded Mr. Be, "Oh yes, bring me all the surveince footage from
tonight."
"Yes, Old Master Mallory. Our men have already divided the work. They''re waiting for the shops to
open at night to get the surveince footage from the owners." Mr. Be hesitated for a few seconds
after that. He did not tell the old master that Percy was also looking into Pierre''s case.
Not only was Old Master Mallory annoyed with Pierre, but he was also mad at Percy.
Even though Percy was working for the Mallory family, Old Master Mallory was still mad at him. He
would not appreciate what he did. That was why Mr. Be dared not to tell him about it. He was afraid
he would touch a nerve.
"Do you have something to tell me?" Old Master Mallory''s eyes were milky, but his gaze was sharp. He
noticed the hesitant look on Mr. Be''s face.
"Nothing, sir. I''m off to arrange for tonight''s matter if there''s nothing else," Mr. Be replied
immediately.
"Go ahead. We have to find Pierre. Otherwise, we won''t be able to live in peace." An ominous cloud
hovered over Old Master Mallory''s face when he mentioned Pierre''s name.
"Yes, sir," replied Mr. Be.
After Mr. Be left the living room, he sent a message to Pierre, telling him about the situation now.
He also told him that he did not tell Old Master Mallory that he was helping to look for Pierre.
Pierre replied: [It''s for the best.] He did not want the old master to know about it either.
He had stayed with the old master since he was young. The older the old master was, the more
stubborn he became.
Percy insisted on choosing Nina as his bride. At the same time, he exposed what Pierre had done in
the past and continued to sit in the highest position of Mallory Corporation. What he did was enough to
upset Old Master Mallory for a long time.
Hence, Percy did not intend to let the old master know that he was intervening in the matter and joining
the investigation.
Otherwise, his kindness would be misunderstood as ill intentions. The old master would think he was
gloating at their misfortune.
Percy sat on the sofa, reading Mr. Be''s message. He let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Young
Master Mallory was willing to look into Pierre''s kidnapping case.
Otherwise, they would not be able to find where Pierre was by just depending on his mother. She would
only continue to disturb Luke.
Karen was already stubborn when she was a normal person.
Now that she was mentally unstable, she had be a lot more stubborn than before.
“Mr. Be texted you?" Nina brought a ss of milk as she walked toward him. She leaned against
Percy''s chest as she sat down.
She knew about what happened to the Mallory family.
She also knew that Percy had decided to help.
"Yes. My mother has been locked up by Grandpa," replied Percy.
Nina was surprised. Even though she knew it was embarrassing when Karen went to disturb Luke and
Old Master Crawford, there was no need to go as far as locking her up.
Karen was the daughter-inw of the Mallory family, and locking her up would restrict her freedom.
"She''s locked up? Is it really that bad?"
"Yes. She can''t take it. She has to take antihypertensive drugs that give faster effects once she gets
emotional, but they have serious side effects. She can''t take too much of it. It''d be better to keep her in
the room." Percy approved of what Old Master Mallory did.
They were investigating what really happened when Pierre got kidnapped. They could not let Madam
Mallory cause trouble for them at this time.
