"Stop with the nonsense. Please leave this mansion immediately." The head of security
could not help but wonder why any mother-in-law would want her daughter-in-law to cheat
on her son.
He was just doing things within his scope of work, yet she said that he was having an
affair with Nina.
There were so many people here, and if they believed her words, Nina was not the one
who would be done for. It was him.
“Hmph, she should be the one to get out of the house. This house belongs to my son. Let's
see who will be able to drive me out of here today!" Karen said rudely with her hands on
her hips.
Nina felt helpless seeing her like that.
If this were a different house, she would leave right away so that Karen could stay as long
as she wanted.
Besides, Percy had many properties, so it would not hurt even if one of them got wrecked
by Karen.
However, this house was different. She and Percy had decorated every single corner of the
house together, and they put so much effort into it that she could not just leave.
If Karen were to lay a finger on any part of the house, she would be heartbroken.
The security guard's head hurt at the sight of stubborn Karen and the extremely burly-
looking man next to her. He could tell that the man was well-trained.
It was obvious that the security guards would lose against that man. Although Karen was
not going to call the police, they still had to find a way to make these troublemakers leave.
They could not use brute force because even a little accidental scratch would cause them
huge trouble.
The head of security knew that they could not afford to offend the other party, but he had
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtto fulfill his duty. He said firmly, “Madam, if you don't leave, I'll call the police."
“Call them, then. Once they're here, we'll see if they'll make me leave or chase that
woman out!" Karen said. Percy had yet to issue a restraining order against her, and as his
mother, she had the right to show up at his house.
Although Karen refused to admit Nina's identity, when the police arrived, they would just
deem it as a family conflict. There was nothing they could do to her.
That was what she thought, but the man beside her reminded her in a low voice, "Madam,
with your current situation, it's not a good idea to alert the police."
Karen hit Nina.
It would only be a matter of minutes before the police took Karen away.
It would not be a big deal for others to go to the police station as they would be released
in no time.
For Karen, however...
It would be a serious matter. Although the celebrity scandal was helping her stay away
from the spotlight, many reporters were still keeping an eye on the Mallory family.
That included Karen's and Pierre's affairs. Once she entered the police station, there would
be disastrous consequences.
The man whispered his opinion to Karen.
Karen's expression sank, and she looked resentful. Was that bitch, Nina, going to win like
this?
The head of security got a hunch, so he immediately took out his walkie-talkie to tell the
people in the security room to call the police.
Then, Karen fiercely glared at him and Nina. “Bitch, you may have gotten lucky today
because some guy helped you, but just you wait, I'll make your life miserable!"
After that, she made her way through the crowd and left.
The head of security watched Karen leave and heaved a sigh of relief. He finally scared her
away.
Otherwise, he would not know what else to do as Nina did not want to call the police.
The head of security looked at Nina's red and swollen face as he said, "Mrs. Mallory, you
should go to the hospital to have your face treated or it'll take days for the swelling to
subside."
"I will. Thank you for today. By the way, if you see Mr. Mallory, don't tell him what
happened. Thank you, everyone," Nina said. She did not want Percy to get angry.
When Percy left for his business trip, he said that he would be gone for more than a week,
so she reckoned that her face should be all better by then.
"Are you really not going to tell Mr. Mallory?" The head of security hesitated. Any
daughter-in-law who was wronged by their mother-in-law would want their husband on
their side. Whether it was to vent their anger or reason with them, they should still tell
their partner what happened.
It was unusual that Nina wanted to hide it from Percy.
"It's just a small matter, so don't tell him. I don't want him to get angry. Please tell the
property management and security guards not to let her in in the future," said Nina.
"Yes, Mrs. Mallory. This was an oversight on our part. We'll make sure to not let that lady in
in the future." The head of security was secretly glad that Nina did not pursue the matter,
so the issue was easily taken care of. All they had to do was not let Karen in ever again.
"Also, please ask the door repairman to come over. The door here seems to be broken, so
it needs to be repaired." Nina pointed to the door Karen's men kicked in.
The door had to be repaired, lest Percy get suspicious when he came back.
"Yes, Ma'am. I'll contact him now." After responding, the head of security left with his
colleagues.
He dared not talk to Nina alone now. If just one person spread what Karen had said just
now, it would become so-called 'evidence'.
The head of security sympathized with Nina, but he was worried that he would get in
trouble too.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter he left, Nina did not go to work straight away. Instead, she waited for the repairman
to replace the broken door before getting ready for work.
Seeing as the house was not too messy, she sighed in relief. Fortunately, Karen was still
somewhat sane in the presence of outsiders. If she had broken anything, Nina would have
had to replace them.
It would have been painful and heart-wrenching, and it would have killed her.
Exhaling, she touched her face. Then, she remembered that one side of her face was
swollen from the slap.
No wonder the repairman looked at her weirdly just now. It seemed like her half-swollen
face had shocked him.
Nina laughed bitterly and made a hissing sound.
"Ouch..." she muttered. Then, she was reminded that no one was there to comfort her as
her pillar of support had gone away on a business trip.
Nina walked into the bathroom and looked into the mirror. She noticed that half of her face
was severely swollen, and she could feel the stinging from the slap.
Karen hated her guts, so she did not hold back when slapping her.
How cruel.
Nina took out an ice pack from the freezer and put it against her face. She endured the
pain and cold for a while. She looked at herself in the mirror before finally giving up.
Even the ice pack could not relieve the swelling on her face.
In the end, she put on a mask and went to Brilliant Architectural Design LLC.
After arriving, the front desk employee told her that Sue was looking for her.
Nina hurriedly knocked on Sue's door and went in. "The front desk said you were looking
for me."
"Yes, take a look at this document. If you're okay with it, I'd like you to do the job." Sue
pointed to the seat across from her and handed the document to her.
They had been partners for many years, so they did not bother with the formalities.
