“If it weren't for that b*tch who seduced him, would he be so busy? Old Master Mallory has made a move to deal with him, but he
still refuses to give in. Well, I can see that he doesn't care about the Mallory family, and he doesn't care about me either!" Madam
Mallory clenched the blanket. Anger rose in her as Nina's face came across her mind.
Such an ordinary woman could make Percy fall so deeply in love with her.
Madam Mallory wondered where Nina learned those seduction techniques from. She could make Percy fall head over heels for
her. Not only was Percy in love with her, but it seemed like Pierre was crazy over her too.
She was just a woman!
Those women Madam Mallory had arranged for the brothers were much better in terms of looks, figures, family background, and
education. Nina was nothing compared to them!
If Percy still cared about his family, he would have visited her when she got discharged from the hospital.
He did not come to visit her, and he did not even call her!
Previously, Percy would not have done such rebellious things when Old Master Mallory was strict with him.
Old Master Mallory was the one who taught Percy to become a decent person. Then, he taught him how to do things well.
Hence, Percy had always shown respect to his elders. The brothers were close to each other too, and they managed Mallory
Corporation well.
However, things were different now...
Madam Mallory closed her eyes and let out a long sigh. "It's that woman who changed him into another person."
Pierre, who stood outside the door, heard what his mother said. A hint of gloominess lurked in his eyes.
Even though it seemed like Madam Mallory favored him over Percy, she put most of her hopes on Percy.
Was he not better than Percy?
Percy pushed the door that was left ajar and said, "Mom, have you taken your medicine?"
Madam Mallory opened her eyes and realized it was Pierre. She heaved a sigh and said, "It doesn't matter whether I've taken
the medicine or not. I have to live with this sick body in the future. I can't do anything. Life will be boring."
Pierre frowned when he heard those depressing words. "Mom, what are you talking about? You can manage your condition by
taking the medicine. It's not as serious as you think. Besides, Grandpa has been having high blood pressure for almost 30 years,
right? He's still healthy and strong."
Madam Mallory did not say anything. Her sickness, Percy's rebellion, and the Mallory family tearing apart made her feel
depressed.
Pierre asked the maid, “Has she taken her medicine?"
“Master Pierre, Madam has already taken her medicine," the maid immediately said.
"You may leave," said Pierre.
The maid responded and bowed to them. Then, she closed the door behind her when she left.
"Mom, the shareholder’s meeting is just around the corner. As a shareholder, you have to get well soon and attend the meeting,"
said Percy. Percy needed Madam Mallory’s support during the meeting.
"I’m not attending the meeting," replied Madam Mallory. She knew her health.
If she saw Percy standing against the Mallory family before she fully recovered, she might pass out from being angry.
It would be better for her to stay home. After all, there was no way Percy could win Old Master Mallory.
Old Master Mallory had been sorting things out as he was mad at how things were turning out. Many shareholders had already
shown their support for him, which meant they would be supporting Pierre too.
As a mother, although she favored Percy more, she refused to see the two brothers turn their backs on each other because of a
woman.
"Mom?" Pierre had a bad feeling about this. He recalled how she had been asking for Percy these days, and he said anxiously,
"Are you no longer supporting me? Have you changed your mind?"
"Mr. Bennet has already asked me to sign the agreement. My decision lies in your Grandpa's hands. He'll decide on behalf of
me," said Madam Mallory. Old Master Mallory had asked Mr. Bennet to prepare the agreement early in the morning.
Pierre let out a sigh of relief. It was fortunate that things were how they were supposed to be. Madam Mallory did not intend to
support Percy.
“Take a good rest, then. Mom, don’t worry. I’ll make Percy regret his decision and let him know that the choices you make for him
are the best." Pierre held her hand tight.
Pierre knew what Madam Mallory had in mind. She did not want to see the brothers become enemies.
That was why Pierre chose his words carefully.
Madam Mallory heaved a sigh when she listened to him. She sat up on the bed and held Pierre’s hand. "The two of you are
brothers. Don’t make a scene."
It was just a reminder from Madam Mallory, but Pierre could sense the implication in her words. He frowned and asked, "Mom,
are you asking me not to fight with him? Do you accept Percy and Nina’s relationship?"
"How is that possible?! I’ll never acknowledge that woman as the daughter-in-law of the Mallory family even if I die. Not a
chance!" Madam Mallory went hysterical when he mentioned Nina’s name. There was hatred in her voice.
Pierre was satisfied with his mother's reaction and said, "That's why I want Percy to have a taste of losing everything. That's the
only way to make him realize how absurd and how wrong it is for him to make such a choice. He'll come back home when he's
unable to survive out there. Besides, isn't that woman after Percy's money? I have to make Percy go broke. Only then will the
woman leave him alone. Percy will be able to figure things out then."
What Pierre said was reasonable.
Everyone in the Mallory family thought Nina refused to let Percy go for the sake of money.
Once Percy went broke, Nina would not hold on to him any longer.
"You're right. We must let Percy know that woman's true colors. Their relationship won't last without money!" Madam Mallory
turned to look at Pierre. "Pierre, you must fight for the management right of Mallory Corporation during the shareholder's
meeting. Let Percy leave the Mallory Corporation for a while. Only then can we move on from all of this."
Old Master Mallory planned to make Percy leave Mallory Corporation. Then, he would make use of his power and influence in A
City and even the whole country so that Percy would not be able to get a job.
The couple would not last long if Percy had no money and no job.
Nina would leave him too.
Pierre noticed that there was a trace of resentment in her eyes when she said that.
Even though Percy disobeyed them and refused to accept their arrangements, they were waiting for Percy to come back to them
and let him run Mallory Corporation again.
Pierre would never let this happen.
After Mallory Corporation fell into his hands, no one could take it away from him, not even Percy!
There was not only one successor in the Mallory family. Why did everyone have high expectations of Percy? Pierre wanted them
to know that he could take up the position too!
Moreover, not only was Pierre going to get Mallory Corporation, but he was also going to make Nina his woman.
When Percy lost everything, Nina would still come to him for the sake of money.
"Pierre, promise me." Madam Mallory held Pierre's hand.
