Madam Mallory set aside the matter, claiming that she would leave the decision to the men in the family. However,
she knew the Mallory family had made their decision even if they had not announced it to the public.
She had no idea what Percy had on his mind at that time, but it was a marriage of convenience. Now that the
Johnston family was in trouble, Madison would be abandoned.
The Mallory family was heartless, indeed.
Although Nina was not born in a wealthy family, she knew pretty well how heartless these wealthy families were.
If there was no Johnston family, would Percy have abandoned her so heartlessly when he became tired of her?
Nina's heart was in dismal at the thought of it. She did not know what happened to her. After all, she was not
Madison. She had never gone through these. However, the sorrow in her heart was getting bigger endlessly.
“You seem to take it lightly. If the daughter of the Johnston family has feelings for Percy, are you still going to
separate them?" Nina asked.
Madam Mallory sneered with a faint smile on her face. "We can't take into account the feelings that Madison has for
Percy. Percy is the one who's deciding all of these now."
Nina looked at her heartless expression. She had the sudden urge to ask if he had made such decisions back when
they were still together?
Was the engagement between the Mallory and Johnston family also Percy's decision?
If it was his decision, then why did he still mess with her at that time...
Madam Mallory noticed the emotions in Nina's eyes and mocked her, saying, "Why? Why do you look sad when I
brought up Madison? Aren't you hoping that they're not on good terms? Now that the Johnston family is in trouble,
their relationship is about to end. You should be happy, right?"
Nina could not help but frown when Madam Mallory thought Nina was the kind of person who would enjoy watching
misfortune befall on others.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe had never wished for anything all along. She did not hope that Percy and Madison could spend the rest of their
lives happily together, nor did she hope that they would break up.
Although Madam Mallory looked elegant and graceful, she was rotten inside.
Nina said, “You can't read my mind. How do you know whether or not I wish that they're not on good terms? Am I
not allowed to wish that they can spend the rest of their lives happily together and never come out to hurt anyone
again?" "You!" Madam Mallory was pissed off with what Nina said. She narrowed her eyes and looked at Nina. Was
this woman really that carefree?
"Well, I don't care what you say. Today, I'm here to remind you this. Don't think you'll have a chance even after
Percy calls off the engagement with Madison. I'm telling you, that'll be impossible!"
"I've never thought of the possibility of getting back together with him. If you came here just to remind me, there's
no need to do so. Let me tell you about my strength. I'll never go back to the same place. Someone like your son
might be out of my league, but I have no intention of crossing the class barriers either. If you have nothing else to
say to me, please stop the car at the road junction in front there. Thank you." Nina refused to look at Madam
Mallory's face anymore. She had seen enough after all these years. She would run out of patience if she looked at
her one more time.
How pathetic it was for Percy to have a mother like this...
Madam Mallory only thought that Nina did not know her place when she heard her talking scornfully.
However, their conversation had ended. Nina did not look like she still had Percy on her mind. Madam Mallory
sneered and said to the driver, "Stop at the junction in front."
"Yes, Madam." The driver followed her instructions and stopped the car at the junction.
Once the car stopped, Nina could not wait to push the car door open and get out. She could not stand to stay in the
same space with Madam Mallory for another minute.
Once the car door was closed, the driver drove away without considering her safety.
Nina took a step back unconsciously and looked at the car that drove away. She shook her head. If she refused to
listen to Madam Mallory's warning and approached Percy, the car would not be driving past her side. Instead, it
would have immediately run over her body.
Nina stroked her arms. She was getting goosebumps on her arms because of her fear of the Mallory family.
On the other hand.
Percy was working in T Corporation's office the whole day. After knowing that Luke ran into Nina when he went to
Luca's apartment to enjoy hotpot, he regretted that he did not follow him there.
After dealing with his work, he drove to the villa and saw Madison at the villa's entrance.
Madison had been waiting for Percy all this time. Since the Johnston family had gotten into trouble, he no longer
showed up in front of her. Although they did not have the chance to see each other often, Madison could feel
something was clearly wrong.
She was still able to hold back herself from looking for Percy after Nick convinced her. However, after she heard the
conversation between her father and her elder brother, she could no longer endure it.
She was not allowed to go into Mallory Corporation without Percy's permission, so she chose to wait for him here.
Madison did not expect that she could finally see him.
She looked at Percy, who was in his car. Madison walked to the front of his car. Keeping her good manners, she
smiled at him.
Percy frowned. He did not expect Madison to come here.
It was the villa he stayed in together with Nina. After Nina left, he moved out too. He thought he was going to finally
finish handling these problematic matters and get the chance to start over with Nina again, which was why he
moved back here.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe had only just moved back here, yet Madison had come looking for him. It looked like the Johnston family had
constantly sent people to keep an eye on him too.
Madison stood there and looked at Percy. She did not say anything, and Percy did not intend to get out of the car
either.
Madison took a deep breath. She could not do anything to this man. She eventually broke the silence. “Percy, I'd like
to talk to you."
Percy looked around him. There was no sign of any reporters or outsiders here.
He pushed the car door open and walked toward her, maintaining an arm-length distance. He tried to stay as far
away from her as possible. "What's the matter?"
Madison's expression was a little stiff when she realized that Percy was going to talk to her from a distance. After
she tucked her hair that was blown messy by the wind behind her ears, she said, "Can't we talk inside? It's cold
here."
Percy narrowed his eyes and looked at her. It was windy in the evening, and it was indeed cold. However, did
Madison's feelings have anything to do with him?
"It's better to say it here to prevent unnecessary trouble," Percy said coldly.
Madison looked down, and her eyes darkened.
"Even though my family is in trouble now, I'm still your fiancee, right?" Her tone was filled with sadness.
When Nick decided that she would marry Percy, she had already mentally prepared herself for everything that was
happening today.
Although she loved Percy, he did not love her. That was the sad reality. It was also because of this she could never
have his love and tenderness as it was a marriage of convenience. Therefore, it pushed the Johnston family into a
bottomless abyss of doom.
Perhaps it was a mistake when she insisted on getting married to Percy.
"The Johnston family is in trouble now. Do you think our relationship can last any longer?" Percy took a pack of
cigarettes out. There was a clinking sound, and the lighter was lit.
Madison looked at the fire of the lighter swaying in the wind as though it would go out anytime. It was just like her
relationship with Percy. It was so fragile that it broke with just one touch.
