Nina wanted to have a talk with him after they got home, but after what Percy said, she thought that


    there was no need anymore.


    No matter what, there was no talking him out of it. They would go ahead with the wedding as nned.


    "Alright." Nina agreed with a smile. She was overwhelmed with joy after seeing him insist on giving her


    a proper wedding, so much so that she had forgotten the tension she was feeling inside.


    At night, Karen sat on the sofa in the living room and impatiently asked the butler. "Why is the old


    master not back yet?"


    Not long after Old Master Mallory left, she came downstairs to discuss Pierre''s situation with him. To


    her surprise, the butler informed her that he was out.


    Karen had been waiting until now.


    The butler nced at the time and said, "Old Master Mallory said that he was on his way back half an


    hour ago, so he should be here soon."

    He was making a guess. He only found out that he was on his way home after reaching out to him.


    However, he had no idea where the old master went, so he could only make a rough estimate.


    Karen clicked her tongue and nced at her phone screen before asking the butler, "Since you''re


    always by his side, have you ever heard him talk about how he''s going to solve Pierre''s problem?"


    The butler shook his head. "Old Master Mallory is always in his study when he''s dealing with Master


    Pierre''s affairs."


    Old Master Mallory''s study was considered the most secret room in the Mallory Manor. The maids were


    not allowed to enter as they pleased, so even a butler like him would need the old master''s permission


    before entering the study.


    Karen red at him.


    Although he was the Mallory family''s butler, he was actually Old Master Mallory''s personal caretaker.


    The fact that the butler did not even know about that made her doubt his capabilities.


    The butler noticed Karen''s dissatisfaction, but he did not know what to say, so he just waited with her in


    the living room.


    About ten minutester, they heard footsteps from outside.


    The butler quickly walked over. He saw the driver helping Old Master Mallory inside, so he immediately


    went over to take over. "Old Master Mallory, you''re back."


    "Yes." Old Master Mallory did not seem too happy. When he saw Karen sitting on the couch, he headed


    upstairs without any intention of talking to her.


    "Father," Karen stood up and called him.


    Old Master Mallory could not just pretend not to hear her, so he turned around to look at her. "What is


    it?"


    "I''m here to apologize..." Karen said shamelessly. She was Pierre''sst hope now.


    She realized that if she offended the old master too much, Pierre would be doomed. Thus, she


    suppressed her anger and obediently apologized to him.


    Old Master Mallory''s expression was as stoic as always. He did not show much expression even when


    his daughter-inw was apologizing.


    After noticing that, Karen added, "Father, I''m just so worried about Pierre. You know he''s never been


    through much hardship ever since he was a kid. Now that he lost his leg and the police are going to


    lock him up, I''m just so worried that I."


    She paused. "Father, I''m sorry. I won''t make a fuss anymore. Can we work together as a family and get


    through this hardship?"


    Old Master Mallory still had several mixed-raced grandchildren abroad. Now that she could no longer


    count on Percy, Pierre was the only one left.


    If he gave up on Pierre, she would have to give up the Mallory family to that foreigner bitch after taking


    care of the family for 30 years. Karen could not allow such a thing to happen.


    "Alright." Old Master Mallory''s eyebrows still did not move, but he changed his mind about going


    upstairs and sat on the sofa instead.


    Karen quickly brought a cup of nourishing tea. "Father, have some tea. You''ll be able to sleep better at


    night."


    Even after seeing how thoughtful Karen was, Old Master Mallory still did not react.


    He took a sip of the tea and heard her ask, "Father, where did you go thiste at night?"


    "I went to deal with Pierre''s situation." Old Master Mallory did not hide anything. If Pierre got locked up,


    it would affect the Mallory family too.


    Karen noticed that the old master did not look happy, and her heart sank. She asked cautiously, "So,


    how was it?"


    Old Master Mallory took another sip of the tea and frowned.


    "So." Karen was feeling anxious.


    "The trouble Pierre got into has pretty much been taken care of before the police found him, so the


    evidence the police have is not enough to carry out an investigation. He should be fine, but he won''t be


    released so soon," said Old Master Mallory. After finding out that it would take some time before Pierre


    was released, he thought that it was quite troublesome.


    Therefore, the knit in his eyebrows had yet to loosen up.


    With each passing day that Pierre was detained by the police, the more it would affect Mallory


    Corporation and the Mallory family.


    Only by restoring Pierre''s "innocence" as soon as possible would Mallory Corporation''s stock price not


    be affected.


    Now, Old Master Mallory was relieved that Percy was Mallory Corporation''s CEO. If Pierre had taken


    up the position and the news had leaked, the stock price of Mallory Corporation would have plummeted


    even faster.


    "Why?" Karen quickly asked. Without evidence, should the police not let him go?


    Old Master Mallory red at her. "How do you still have the nerve to ask that? If you hadn''t pampered


    that boy to such an extent, would he have offended so many people? Now, everyone is taking this as


    an opportunity to make him suffer."


    Karen frowned. Did he offend that many people?


    Even if Pierre offended that many people, no one would dare offend the Mallory family...


    Unless someone as powerful as the Mallory family was using this as a chance to bully the Mallory


    family by torturing Pierre..


    Suddenly, Karen thought of the Crawford family.


    "Luke must have said something to the police!" She clenched her hands tightly into fists, wanting to


    tear Luke into shreds.


    Old Master Mallory nced at her.


    He was not as certain as Karen, but he knew that Luke and Pierre had always been hostile toward


    each other.


    However, Luke and Percy were good friends. Now that Pierre had lost to Percy, it was impossible for


    that kid, Luke, to still target Pierre.


    Luke was not the type of person to have the free time to target anyone for fun.


    Pierre had been running amok for so long that he had offended many, so there were tons of people


    secretly trying to get their revenge on him.


    "Father, you must help Pierre. His leg must be taken care of. How could the care in the detention ward


    compare to that of a VIP ward?" Karen begged while frowning.


    "Enough, I won''t just stand by and watch him go to prison," Old Master Mallory snorted.


    Karen nodded and took a deep breath before standing up. "Father, it''s gettingte, so you should get


    some rest."


    Before Old Master Mallory could reply, she quickly walked upstairs.


    The butler looked at her hasty and vengeful look. He said worriedly, "Old Master Mallory, Madam


    Mallory looks like she''s about to go insane.."


    Karen thought that Luke was the one who was deliberately targeting Pierre.


    The butler was worried that she would do something to Luke.


    Pierre''s past doings had already angered the Crawford family, causing the rtionship between the


    families to worsen. If not for Luke and Percy being good friends, the two families might have even


    be enemies.


    Old Master Mallory felt the pulse in his temples, but he could not do anything to control Karen.


    "If she''s the one asking for trouble, no one can stop her."
