Karen refused to listen to a thing he said, but Percy''sst words made her panic.
She knew deep down that there was a high chance of Pierre being found by the police. No matter how
much she asked the hospital staff to cooperate, it would all be of no avail.
Karen snorted. “You''d better not lie to me. If anything happens to Pierre, I won''t let you off the hook,
and that bitch too!"
Percy''s eyes turned gloomy when he heard her cursing the woman he loved.
However, he suppressed it because arguing with her was the least important thing right now.
Hearing the mother and son talk as if they were having a conference made the director''s head ache.
He looked at Percy, waiting for his final order.
"We''ll leave now," said Percy. The police were already downstairs, so they could not dy any further.
Karen nodded reluctantly. After all, if this incident affected the Mallory family, it would be Pierre who
would get the short end of the stick.
Percy looked at the director. "Do you have a separate exit for staff?"
"We do." The director nodded frantically before reminding him, "However, the staff exit leads to the
parking lot, so you''ll still be checked by the police and reporters."
"Alright." Percy did not panic as he nned to disguise Karen before leaving.
Even if Karen were to disguise herself, she would still look like a woman. Whereas for him, as long as
he showed the police that both his legs were well-functioning, nothing would happen to him.
In the informant''s email, the people from the Ind of Despair mentioned that Pierre was getting his leg
treated at the hospital.
"Mr. Mallory, after you leave, what about us..." the director asked cautiously.
"I''ve already made the arrangements. A doctor in your hospital will be taking care of this matter, so it
won''t affect your hospital," said Percy.
The director was surprised to hear that he managed to persuade a doctor.
It seemed like the power of the Mallory family should not be underestimated. Even if the doctor who
was going to take care of this matter would not be going to jail, his reputation would be damaged.
The fact that the doctor agreed meant that Percy must have made a deal with him.
Percy left with Karen through the staff exit before finding his car in the parking lot.
After they got in the car, they headed straight toward the hospital exit.
Sure enough, they were stopped by the police before they could leave.
“Hello, please roll down the window and show your ID." The police officer''s voice could be heard.
Karen became anxious after they were instructed to show their IDs. That meant that the police would
find out that she was from the Mallory family.
In that case, Pierre would be affected!
Karen got even more anxious, but there was nothing she could do. She just watched Percy take out an
ID from his pocket. "Hello, we''re reporters."
"Reporters?" The policeman took a look at the IDs. The entrance of the hospital was not well-lit, and
the lights in the car were not turned on either, so it was pretty dark. Not to mention, Percy was wearing
a cap, so his face could not be seen clearly.
The police officer deliberately nced at his legs and saw that they were fine. Then, he looked at the
person in the passenger seat. "Where''s your ID?"
Before Karen could speak, Percy said, "This is my assistant. She came out in a rush, so she didn''t
bring her ID."
"Reporters aren''t allowed in the hospital, so how did you get in?" the police asked.
"Of course, we can''t just brazenly walk in here. I just so happen to have a rtive who''s a doctor here,
so... I got the news early. Plus, I live around the corner, so I got here before they even arrived. Look at
all the equipment behind. I didn''t get much, though. I heard that the police were here, and my
colleagues areing over soon, so I clocked off," Percy lied without blinking an eye.
"Sure. Open the trunk for inspection please." The police did not doubt his identity. After not finding
anything in his trunk, he let them go.
N?velDrama.Org is the owner.
After Percy sessfully brought Karen out of the hospital, he said, "I''ll send you back to the manor."
Karen suddenly recalled that before she went out today, Old Master Mallory warned her not to go near
the hospital so as not to let them know that Pierre was hospitalized.
However, she did not listen and insisted on going.
Little did she know that this would happen. She trembled out of fear at the thought of the old master''s
threatening gaze and immediately said, "I''m not going back to the manor. Take me back to your ce."
Percy frowned.
"If you''re going to send me back to the manor, turn around and just drop me off at the hospital," said
Karen after he did not give her an answer.
She did not want to go back and listen to the old master''s criticism.
Besides, if he saw that Percy sent her back, he would know that she went to the hospital. Plus, Percy
would not cover up for her.
"Nina is at home," said Percy, not wanting his mother to provoke Nina.
Karen snorted as she looked out the window and said, "So what? You bought the house with the
Mallory family''s money, so it''s also property of the Mallory family. She''s just an outsider living there. I''m
the real owner."
Percy frowned as he had bought the house with his own money, so it did not belong to the Mallory
family.
However, telling Karen all of this was useless as she only believed what she chose to believe. She
would ignore everything else.
“I also need to keep an eye on you. Don''t think that you''ll be safe when the police take Pierre away. If
you don''t bail him out, I''ll report to them that you were the one who hid Pierre in the hospital," Karen
threatened again.
Percy continued driving with a livid expression.
Most of the time, there would be no emotion on his face. He was usually so calm that nobody knew
what he was thinking.
However, at this moment, he really wanted to ask Karen if he was her biological son.
How could she treat him and Pierre so differently when they were just born a few years apart?
Did she be like this just because he chose to marry Nina instead of following the family''s
arrangements by marrying someone they chose?
Percy knew deep down that this was not the reason.
He knew a long time ago that out of her two sons, Karen favored Pierre, which was why Pierre was so
fearless.
Percy knew that since he was a child. However, he carried a heavy burden on his shoulders, so he
needed Old Master Mallory''s approval more than his mother''s love.
It was just that he never expected that Karen would be willing to sacrifice him to save Pierre.
It was as if he was not her own...
Percy did not have much affection for his family in the first ce, but this still made him upset. He
wanted to ask Karen, but in the end, he chose not to.
He pursed his lips into a thin line and lifted his chin up resolutely as he suppressed his curiosity.
Percy held himself back.
"I''m telling you again. Don''t you think about sending me back to the manor." Seeing how he still had not
replied, Karen emphasized again.
"I know." Percy''s voice was stiff. When they stopped at a red light, he sent Nina a message so that she
could mentally prepare herself.
Karen was not easy to deal with.
Tonight, the one who had to suffer was not Pierre but Nina.
