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 planned.
"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 glanced 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 glanced 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 glared at him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAlthough 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 minutes later, 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's last 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-in-law 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 this late 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 glared 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?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNow, 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 glanced 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 getting late, 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 relationship
between the families to worsen. If not for Luke and Percy being good friends, the two
families might have even become 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."
