"Are you not going to say a word?" Karen really wanted to force Nina to admit that Percy was causing


    trouble for Pierre.


    However, Nina unexpectedly remained silent. Suddenly, Karen recalled what happened a few days


    ago.


    Karen wanted to cause trouble for Nina while Percy was away on a business trip. However, her


    subordinate informed her that Nina had moved into Luke''s ce.


    If she wanted to trouble Nina, she had to go to Luke''s ce.


    She did not do that, or rather, she dared not to.


    Nina saw the gloomy expression on Karen''s face and she knew she had to be thinking about


    something. Thus, she replied, "I''m just here to buy some fruits. If you don''t believe me, there''s a bag of


    fruits in my trunk, and the bag is from the fruit shop near the hospital. Would you like to take a look?"


    Karen could not be bothered to look. She wanted to p Nina, but they were at a hospital. Even though


    there were no people around, there were cars nearby.


    Almost all the cars here were equipped with dash cams. If she acted out, her actions would be


    captured by several cars.


    If Nina took the evidence to the police station to file a report or even escte the situation, it would be


    effortless.


    Karen was not stupid.


    At the same time, Anthony reminded her, "Madam, you should go check on Pierre first."Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Karen thought of Percy being upstairs and recalled that Pierre could not get out of bed now. She had


    no idea how Percy would treat Pierre!


    Hence, she shot Nina a fierce re before going upstairs.


    Nina watched her leave and immediately sent a message to Percy. She wanted to inform him that


    Karen was heading upstairs now.


    Afterposing the message, she suddenly thought, ''What if Percy wants to stir up trouble for Madam


    Mallory?''


    If she notified him of her arrival, would it not lead to an eruption of conflict?


    Hence, she changed her wording: [Percy, are you okay? I suddenly have a stomach ache. I''m waiting


    for you in the car. Hurry back.]


    After sending it, Nina scorned her own act of lying. However, she did not feel much guilt.


    She did it for Percy''s sake.


    Nina reckoned that when Percy received the message, he would definitelye back. Then, he would


    not run into Karen.


    That was what she thought, but reality turned out differently.


    Percy stood in Pierre''s hospital ward and saw that his leg was in a cast. He cast a cold gaze on Pierre.


    Pierre looked back at him as though he was facing a formidable enemy. There was nothing but anger


    and hatred on his face.


    This made Pierre have a strange illusion. He felt that Percy was the one who caused his leg injury.


    Whether it was true or not, that was how Pierre thought at the moment.


    Percy was rendered speechless. He tried to talk to Pierre, but Pierre tightly pursed his lips, refusing to


    communicate.


    Percy no longer insisted onmunicating with Pierre.


    After all, he knew what situation Pierre was in now. Thus, Percy did not say anything more. When


    Percy was about to leave, he received Nina''s message iming that she was not feeling well. He


    quickly rushed downstairs.


    As he stepped out of the elevator, he saw Karen.


    Karen was carrying a bag of fruits.


    She knew Percy had arrived and initially wanted to go up immediately, but she suddenly remembered


    what the caretaker had told her earlier. She said Pierre did not enjoy eating fruits now, but the doctor


    advised him to eat more fruits and supplements which would aid in bone healing. That was why she


    bought a lot of fruits at the fruit shop.


    As Karen took the elevator up, she did not expect to encounter Percy at the elevator entrance.


    Percy saw Karen and was surprised. At the same time, he spected that Nina might not really be


    feeling unwell.


    Nina might have encountered Karen too. She did not want the mother and son to meet and trigger a


    conflict. That was why she said that.


    "What did you do to your brother?" Karen saw Percy downstairs and was no longer anxious. She did


    not enter the elevator and questioned him directly.


    With peopleing and going in the elevator, Percy frowned.


    Karen had no shame, but Percy still needed to keep his reputation. Many people recognized him.


    If his photos ended up online, it would probably be a major ethical drama.


    "Why don’t you go upstairs and check on him?" replied Percy. His tone was sharp, and considering


    what she had done to Nina before, his attitude toward Karen was not any better.


    Percy did not even address her as his mother. With his hands in his pockets, he looked utterly cold and


    indifferent.


    Karen originally thought he would still address her as his mother.


    After all, no matter how fierce their quarrels got, she was still his mother. That was an unchangeable


    fact.


    However, not only did Percy not call her that, but Karen even felt some hostility in his gaze. She raised


    her hand, feeling the urge to p Percy.


    Nevertheless, Anthony immediately stopped her, "Madam, you''re still outside. It''s not good if someone


    sees."


    Karen forcibly held back her urge to p him, withdrew her hand, and walked directly into the elevator.


    As the elevator doors slowly closed, she heard Percy''s warning, "Some people are not to be touched.


    Even if you and the entire Mallory family won''t acknowledge her, it won''t change the fact that she''s my


    wife."


    Karen felt a pain in her body from anger. If the elevator doors had not closed, she would have definitely


    rushed out to p Percy and then dragged him to the neighboring country to find a priest to see if Nina,


    that bitch, had put a curse on him!


    Percy had the capital to be fickle, and he had the capital to choose many women. Why was he so


    devoted to that bitch, Nina?


    He even fell out with the family because of her!


    "Madam, please calm down. Mind your image," Anthony reminded her again.


    Karen clenched her fists tightly, and her nails were digging into her flesh. The pain in her palms helped


    her calm down a bit.


    Yes, was the lesson from this morning not enough? She had to calm down and not let anyone make


    videos and upload them online again.


    At the thought of this, Karen adjusted her breathing, looked at the numbers that gradually went up, and


    said, "Don''t mention what happened downstairs to Pierre."


    "Yes, Madam.” Anthony nodded.


    Karen pondered for a moment and added, "Don''t bring up the press conference today either."


    She knew that if Pierre found out about the press conference, he would definitelyin about her.


    At that time, she thought the press conference was over and the reporters would certainly follow her


    and Ss'' rification statement, so she brazenly beat up Ss.


    However, she did not expect someone to secretly record everything outside the wall!


    Now, the whole inte was using her of being treacherous. She appeared to be a high and mighty


    nobledy, but in reality, she was extremely malicious.


    "Got it." Anthony understood what she meant. She was worried he might blurt it out, so he said,


    "Madam, don’t worry. I won''t go into the hospital ward."


    "Okay." Karen watched as the elevator reached the floor. When the elevator doors slowly opened, she


    suppressed her anger and put on the demeanor of an affluent noblewoman again. Her walking posture


    was professionally trained, looking very elegant.


    After Percy left the hospital ward, he walked toward the parking lot.


    However, he did not rush as he did before he met Karen. He leisurely walked over.


    He saw Nina anxiously pacing in ce from afar. His heart warmed, and a smile involuntarily appeared


    on his lips.


    What a silly woman.
