"I'm still not sure who she is yet, but don't worry. I'll help you find her. That person has
been in this hospital, so I must've seen her before. I'll find out after a little investigation,"
said Karen
“Have someone find out now." Pierre was impatient.
“Pierre, be patient. Even if I do find her, your leg is still in a cast. She can't even treat you
yet," Karen advised him as finding that person would take some time.
Pierre scoffed.
Karen's words gave him hope, so he said, "I don't care. You must find that person."
He could not peacefully recuperate on his hospital bed until someone told him he could
make a full recovery.
"I'll send someone to investigate, so don't worry." Karen patted his arm. Her heart ached
at the sight of his face. "Pierre, you've lost weight."
"Life in the detainment ward was torture." Pierre frowned. Although he was out now, he
was still unhappy with how long it took his grandpa to deal with the situation. "Did
Grandpa purposely keep me in there longer?"
Karen sighed and shook her head. "I don't know what your grandpa is thinking. He can't
stand me at all right now. Pierre, you must get better soon and regain Old Master Mallory's
trust. Only then will our lives get better."
"Hmph, it's all your fault." Pierre could not stand Karen either.
He did not think he had caused much trouble to the Mallory family at all. Instead, he
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthought that Old Master Mallory gave up on both of them because of Karen's past.
Pierre knew that the old master did not care about him. He expected the old man to show
up by morning, but he did not. He did not even call. It seemed like the old man was
deliberately giving him the cold shoulder.
Pierre had never seen himself as the problem. He only blamed Karen.
Karen wanted to reason with Pierre, but she knew that she had spoiled her son too much.
He might listen if Old Master Mallory were to talk some sense into him.
However, he would never listen to her.
If Pierre thought that he was right, no one could change his mind—let alone the person
who had been spoiling him his entire life...
Karen felt bitter. Her eldest son insisted on choosing a woman from a lowly family, and her
youngest son blamed her for everything.
Everyone made mistakes, but she was lucky enough to escape when she did.
She could not understand why Daryl could not come to terms with it when it was all in the
past. It was not like she cheated on him after their marriage. After the incident came to
light, everyone blamed her as if she was the one who cheated...
Karen removed her hand from Pierre's arm. Even the son she loved the most did not care
about her.
Although she felt wronged, she would not vent her anger on Pierre.
Karen was about to say something when there was a knock on the door.
“Come in," Pierre said without emotion.
A man opened the door and glanced at the people in the ward to make sure he was in the
right place. Then, he said respectfully, "Mr. Pierre, I'm your new assistant."
"I know," Pierre said with a cold expression.
News had spread that he sent his assistant away. He could not get himself a new one for
some time, so he had his secretary be his temporary assistant.
This man was recruited by the company's HR department some time ago. He was a fresh
graduate who was not from A City, so he did not know what happened to the company
before. That was why he got the job.
The man noticed that Pierre was not in a good mood, so he carefully placed the
documents he brought over from the company on the table. "These are the documents
that need your signature."
Karen frowned at the thick stack of documents. "Pierre, you're still recovering. How can
you deal with things like this now?"
Pierre shooed his assistant away without saying another word.
His assistant did not understand what he meant, so he responded, "Huh?"
"Fuck off," Pierre said impatiently.
The man trembled. He left the ward immediately after uttering, "Yes, sir."
Then, the mother and son were left inside the ward alone.
Only then did Pierre answer Karen's question, "Your incident has made Grandpa turn his
back on us. Without his support, I'll lose Mallory Corporation. The company is going to be
doomed. If I continue ignoring my company, how will I make a living?"
Karen was speechless.
She wanted to say that it was not her fault. Pierre had done so many illegal things with
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthis company. How could he blame it on her?
However, Karen did not say a word as she did not want to anger him.
"Pierre, when Grandpa was dealing with your matters, he helped with the company as
well. It's not as chaotic as it was before, so you should just focus on your recovery. The
company will be fine on its own," Karen said as gently as possible to calm Pierre down.
"Hmph. I don't have much money left. If the company isn't making me any profit, no one is
going to help me with my debt."
Karen wanted to say that she could help him, but she realized that she was not in a
position to help.
If she was kicked out of the Mallory family, the Ruiz family would not take her back either.
She still had to have some money on her.
Pierre was Old Master Mallory's grandson. Even if she were kicked out, Old Master Mallory
would not leave him stranded.
Karen said, “Fine. It's good to see you work hard. Your grandpa will be happy to see you
like this. Just don't do the things you did before. If you do a good job, your grandpa will
trust you again."
The most important thing right now was to restore Old Master Mallory's trust in Pierre.
Karen realized that she had lost her power after she was forced to move out of the manor.
Although Daryl had been staying abroad with that woman the entire time, she believed
that they were keeping an eye on the Mallory family.
Percy upset Old Master Mallory by marrying Nina, and Pierre upset Old Master Mallory by
causing this mess. This was the perfect chance for that foreign woman to take her place.
She could never allow such a thing to happen!
