Amur did understand her situation. However, he had feelings for Luca, which was why he disagreed with what she was doing now.“Haven’t you considered that we can’t fight against the whole Island of Despair if it’s only you and me?” Amur reminded her.It did not matter if he was discovered. The worst they would do was throw his body into the ocean. However, Luca had so much to lose. Was she really going to take the risk for Luke, that useless man?What would happen to Nyla if something happened to her?A little girl growing up on the Island of Despair. There was no doubt what kind of person she would become in the future if she was left alone there. That was why Nyla needed Luca’s company.“I’m sorry. That was rather sudden…” Luca was startled. She did not expect Amur, who had always supported her, to be against it so much. Sure enough, judging from Abel’s power and influence, not everyone dared to stand against him.Amur listened to Luca's tone and let out a sigh. "Forget abo
Luca found an excuse to leave his bedroom after Luke agreed and nodded. She even helped him to close the door before she left.Luke looked at the warm mug of milk on the table. He picked it up and took a sip of it.He did not like the taste of milk, but he would never resist the milk that Luca brought him. It was the same brand of milk and the same mouthfeel, but the taste was different after she heated it. He had asked Mrs. Nancy to heat milk for him before. However, it tasted different from when Luca heated it for him. The same milk tasted different after she heated it.Luke’s eyes became gloomy as he looked at the milk in the mug. He said, “Bea, when are you coming back to me…”…The following day.Luca left the villa after she made breakfast for Luke and the children. She headed to Watson Biopharmaceuticals. She did not have to worry about what the children would be having for lunch as they would be following Luke back to Crawford Manor later.It had been a long time s
Percy asked Luke to send him the evidence of Pierre plotting schemes behind their backs…Luke fell silent for a few seconds when he looked at the message. Then, he replied to him: [Okay.]After Pierre threatened him to quit the tender by kidnapping Luca, Percy and Luke had been digging deeper into Pierre’s past deeds.Pierre was currently expanding his company, and his ventures overlapped with their two families’ corporations. On the surface, it did not seem that Pierre intended to steal their business. However, it was just a front and something Pierre did to impress the Mallory family. After all, the Mallory family had to stand up for their family members for the sake of their reputation. If they found out that Pierre's company was affecting the interests of their family business and the Crawford family’s business, they would have certainly stopped Pierre instead of supporting him.Pierre was just putting a front for others to see.He had been secretly doing things that were
He could help Pierre grow, and he could also tear him down. It was just a matter of time.Percy still considered the Mallory family as his family, but from the moment Pierre made a move on Nina, he had stopped thinking of him as his brother.The nurse walked in with the receipt and saw the two of them holding hands tightly. With envy in her eyes, she said, "Mr. Mallory, Ms. Langdon's discharge procedures have been completed. This is your credit card, and these are the discharge documents from the hospital.""Thank you," Nina reached her hand out, taking the receipt and the credit card. She put the receipt in her pocket and handed the credit card to Percy. "Here.""This is yours to keep." Percy did not take the card."Uh..." Nina looked at the black card in her hand. ‘How generous of him. There’s no limit to the black card. Isn’t he afraid that I’ll squander his money?’"You’re my lover and soon-to-be Mrs. Mallory. My assets should be managed by you," Percy said.Nina laughed o
"If you don't like him, why won’t you let him go? Didn't I give you a sum of money? You don’t want it anymore? Or… do you think it’s too little? That sounds about right. A woman like you would only approach my son to get to me. Tell me, how much do you want this time?" Madam Mallory despised Nina. She took out the checkbook from her handbag and was about to write Nina a check."I don't need money. I didn't need it before, I don't need it now, and I won't need it in the future." Nina held Percy's hand tightly. She initially planned to stand aside and let him solve the matter on his own. However, she could not keep quiet any longer.Since she loved him, she was willing to share weal and woe with him. They would get through hardships together. That was what true love was.She would never back down because she was afraid."What do you want?!" Madam Mallory was fuming from what she said and threw the checkbook on the sofa."I didn’t know how I felt before, so I told you that I had no i
Percy held Nina's hand tightly. He was beside her, so she had nothing to be afraid of..."No matter what the consequence, I want to spend the rest of my life with her. She’s my soulmate. No one can change my mind about that."The corners of Nina’s eyes were moist when she heard how unyielding his tone was.No matter what she had to endure in the future, what Percy just said was enough to sustain her through it all. There would be no more misunderstandings and differences moving forward because she realized that this man loved her as much as she loved him."What if you had to give up everything that comes with being a Mallory?" Old Master Mallory was cross seeing how determined Percy was.The Mallory family was the source of all his glory. The old master did not think that Nina would still opt to be with Percy if he lost everything.Percy did not waver. "Even if you take everything from me, I still want to be with Nina."Old Master Mallory slammed his cane hard on the floor. ‘Doe
Pierre did not expect Percy to have found out about everything.Moreover, Percy had already completed the investigation a while back and had been hiding it from everyone. He only opted to uncover all that he knew at the perfect timing. It seemed that they had been keeping a close eye on his whereabouts for some time now..."Enough with the hogwash. Today is about you wanting to be with Nina. Don't get me involved in this mess." Pierre refused to talk about it.Madam Mallory said, "Yeah, be careful with what you’re saying. Even if Pierre is ambitious, he won't put the Mallory family in such a situation.""If this information is released to the public, how many people do you think will come to pick on the Mallory family?" Percy asked in a low voice.Madam Mallory shut up.She had not seen the evidence, so she did not know how serious things were. Nevertheless, she had a rough idea based on Old Master Mallory's expression. Hence, she did not dare to answer Percy's question."Ah..."
Based on what Percy knew about Old Master Mallory, he would soon be looking into the authenticity of the document.The elevator doors slowly opened, and Nina walked in holding Percy’s hand.Percy took care of her every step of the way. After he pressed the button to go down, he stood guard in front of her while she stood in the corner of the elevator."Enough about him. What are you going to do?" Nina looked up and saw his chin. He had a five o'clock shadow after spending the whole night taking care of her in the hospital. Percy would always keep himself neat. However, he did not ask anyone to bring his daily necessities over, so he looked out of the ordinary.He appeared sexy and lazy."I'll be fine." Percy patted her head to comfort her.Nina rested her head on his shoulder, knowing that he only said that to keep her from worrying.‘Are things really going to be fine?’If Percy left Mallory Corporation, he would have to start over from scratch.She did not have any doubts ab
