“It’s hard to eliminate the Johnston family not because of their family business or deep pockets. It’s because of their family history and political background in A City. Besides, no matter how abundant their capital is, it’ll only lead to a downfall under the guidance of the person in charge now. Their company has low liquidity. A 20 percent drop means that they’ve lost quite a large amount of money. They won’t be able to take it for much longer.” Luke analyzed."Indeed." Percy nodded and changed to another sitting position. He leaned on the couch comfortably. "Now, all we have to do is to wait for them to seek Old Master Mallory's help. Judging from his character, I'll be able to take action soon." “It’s easy for you to get rid of the Johnston family due to the current situation. But getting Nina back will be hard.” Luke reminded him.Everything that Percy did was never for the sake of the Mallory family; it was for him and Nina.However, he chose not to tell anyone and did ever

Old Master Mallory could not help but laugh when he looked at how desperate they were to use the Mallory family’s name to solve their current crisis. He took a sip of the tea and let out a sigh. He remained silent for a long time. Madison and her father exchanged looks at each other. She then said in a sweet voice, "Grandpa, I really like Percy very much. So, I'm asking for your permission to let us get married earlier. After the wedding, I'll try my best to become a good wife for Percy. I’ll help Mallory Corporation penetrate the global market.”Old Master Mallory placed his teacup back on the saucer. He understood how desperate they were.If it were the Johnston family in the old days, then he would certainly agree to it on behalf of Percy, but things were different now. He put on a serious expression and looked at the father and daughter. He said, "I don't think it's the right time now. It'd be better if the Johnston family can focus on solving the problem at hand. After that, w

It was noontime. Luca finally finished translating the contents of one of the folders. She glanced at the time. It was almost time to prepare the hotpot. She walked out of the bedroom. Nina was sitting on the couch watching TV. She was afraid that she would disturb Luca, so she had turned the TV volume down to the point where she could barely hear anything. “Are you done?” Nina smiled when she saw Luca walk out of the room.“I’ve just finished part of my work. I’m going to prepare the hotpot now,” replied Luca. Then, she headed to the kitchen.Making a hotpot was not as complicated as making proper meals. She only had to season the soup base and clean the ingredients. That was all she had to do.Nina followed her into the kitchen. “Let me help you.”“It’s alright. Just wait for the food,” Luca said as she opened the fridge and took the ingredients out.“You’re already treating me to hotpot. How could I just eat without helping? But I’m pretty bad at cooking too. Don’t expect m

“I’m sorry, Luca. I shouldn’t have doubted you,” Nina said apologetically. If Bianca were not already in the picture, she thought it would be great if Luca and Luke got together. However, as a friend of Bianca’s, she could not stand watching Luke cheat on her.Luca patted her shoulder and said, “It’s alright. I understand.”Nina let go of her and reminded her sincerely, “Bianca is alone out there now. I don’t know how she’s doing, so I'm always concerned with Luke’s private life.” Luca listened to her concern and smiled bitterly. “I’m the one who didn’t try my best. If I had stayed away from Mr. Crawford from the very beginning, you wouldn’t have misunderstood us.”"I’m just too sensitive. After all those things I've gone through, I rarely believe in men anymore. That's why I doubted you." Nina let out a sigh and realized her problem. Even though Luke was powerful and influential, there was no way he could control what Bianca did. Luke sent her abroad, but she could have ret

Nina held her arms and shook her head. The TV in the VIP room was turned on. The TV was broadcasting the news that the Johnston family had made bad investments and lost a lot of money.Whenever they mentioned the Johnston family, they would definitely mention the Mallory family too. Nina’s expression changed when she was watching the news about the union between the Johnston family and the Mallory family through marriage. She changed the TV channel without listening to what the news was broadcasting.Luca watched everything she did. She picked up the business magazine in front of her. It was today’s issue, and it reported about the Johnston family’s matter. It even analyzed the current situation of the Mallory family. She handed the magazine to Nina.Nina took it from her. She closed the magazine when she saw the words ‘Mallory family.’ "What's so great about it?"Luca looked at Nina, who ignored every piece of news that was related to Percy. She asked curiously, “Nina, you came
