“Yes,” said Mr. Bennet while nodding his head in fear that Karen would not believe him.“I must go back and have a look. There must be more evidence to prove that Pierre was abducted by him,” Karen muttered before leaving right away.Mr. Bennet was left speechless.Mrs. Mallory completely forgot about her basic manners because of Pierre.She even said those things in front of Old Master Crawford and left immediately without even saying goodbye to him.Mr. Bennet bowed to Old Master Crawford. “I’m sorry you had to see that, Old Master Crawford.”“What has gotten into Madam Mallory?” Old Master Crawford asked. One moment Karen was weeping and begging him for help, the next she calmly wiped her tears with a tissue.It was like an improv show with someone acting out different emotions.Old Master Crawford had seen a lot in his lifetime, but it was the first time he thought that someone was possessed.“Master Pierre has been kidnapped, so Madam Mallory is in great shock. Mr. Crawfo
Upon hearing about moving, Susan’s entire demeanor turned sluggish and weary. “There’s not much to pack anyway. I can just buy the things I need.”Old Master Crawford frowned and reminded her, “As a mother, can you be more considerate toward Louis? Do you know how expensive the things you use are? Can’t you help him save some money?”“Father, you can’t say that to me. Think about it, I’ll just be living there for a few months. I’ll move back here once Thea is on summer break. I can still use all of my things here. Why would it be a waste?” Susan leaned on the sofa while showing her reluctance.However, no matter how reluctant she was, she would still have no choice but to move.If it were not for the fear that Old Master Crawford and Luke would get too close, she would not have agreed to move.Although Louis’ place was a new mansion, how could it compare to Crawford Manor?The Crawford family’s manor was the property that cost the most.Susan wondered what in the world Louis and
Mr. Griffin, who happened to walk into the room, heard what Susan said.“Madam, what’s the matter?” Mr. Griffin pretended not to understand, but he knew very well that Susan usually talked about Old Master Crawford favoring Luke over Louis.Everyone thought Luke had everything because he was Old Master Crawford’s favorite grandson.However, Mr. Griffin, who had been serving the old master for years, knew that Louis was actually the one whom the old master favored. Louis was free-spirited and someone who could do whatever he wished.That was what it meant by being favored by Old Master Crawford. He could enjoy his life, live freely, and do whatever he wanted. “Nothing.” Susan adjusted the shawl over her shoulder. “What were Old Master Mallory and Old Master Crawford talking about just now?” "It seems like they were talking about Mr. Pierre," answered Mr. Griffin. Karen came here and caused trouble. The news spread through Crawford Manor like wildfire, and everyone knew about i
That way, it would not be too loud even though one would hear Karen if they walked past the room. Old Master Mallory sneered and said to the woman who was shouting in her bedroom, “Stay in there. I’ll find Pierre.”Then, he returned to the living room.That was when Mr. Bennet hurried into the house. “Old Master Mallory, has Madam come back yet?”“I locked her up in her bedroom. No one’s allowed to let her out before Pierre comes back,” replied Old Master Mallory.“Yes, sir. But I don’t think it’s a good idea to treat her that way…” Mr. Bennet weighed each word as he spoke.He knew why Old Master Mallory locked Karen up. What she did today had disgraced the Mallory family. Old Master Mallory, who had always cared about the Mallory family’s reputation, was mad at her."What's so bad about it? There's a bed, a sofa, and a TV in her room. It's more luxurious than a 5-star hotel. I don’t see anything wrong." Old Master Mallory glowered at him.Karen had been behaving abnormally
Nina knew Madam Mallory’s health was not in good condition ever since Percy announced to the public that they had registered their marriage abroad. Her condition worsened after dealing with a series of unpleasant events.“I’m sorry…” apologized Nina. If it were not for her, Karen would not have become like this. "It's not your fault. Don't blame yourself." Percy held her in his arms. It was Percy who was determined to marry her, but his mother could not accept it. It had nothing to do with Nina.If Nina was blamed for Karen’s current situation, it would be unfair to her.“So many things have happened to the Mallory family. Why don’t we postpone our wedding ceremony?” Nina asked for his opinion.Even though Percy was not on good terms with the Mallory family, his family name was Mallory, and he could not turn a blind eye to the Mallory family's affairs. He had to look for Pierre, run the company, deal with work matters, and prepare for their wedding ceremony… Nina did not wa
Nina realized Percy was pulling her hand when she was about to answer the door.She turned around and gave Percy a confused look.“Kiss me and I’ll let you go.” Percy pointed at his lips with his fingers.Nina’s face turned red at that moment. Even though the two of them had kissed each other a million times, she would still feel shy when she was asked to kiss him on the lips.Nina bent down and pressed her lips against Percy’s.The moment their lips pressed against each other, Percy turned around, wrapped Nina in his arms, and put her on his thigh.He held her in his arms until the doorbell rang again.Nina pushed him away and said, “Come on. They’re going to call me later.” “I’ll let you go now, but we’ll continue tonight.” Percy smiled as he let her go. After he got what he wanted, he rose to his feet, feeling satisfied. Then, he said to Nina, who was on her way to answer the door, “I’m going back to the office. The maid will come around noontime to make lunch for you. Reme
The researcher gave up convincing them when he realized no one was going.Ambrose was wrong for stealing the sample. It was understandable that they wanted to disassociate themselves from him.On the other hand, Luca sat in her office and continued to study the project.Luca studied the new research project until it was almost lunch break, and only then did Rhett hand her the sample report.“Dr. Craw, here’s the report.” Rhett handed the report to her.“Thank you.” Luca had a feeling that she might have successfully developed the antidote when she took the report from him.The previous reports had shown that she was close to the sample that she had stored.Luca opened the report after Rhett left her office. The moment she saw the data, she dared not be careless. She took out the previous sample data and compared them a few times. She eventually put a smile on her face.She did it.This time, the sample data matched the previous data of the liquid extracted. Besides, the me
The policeman did not find any contraband after inspecting the trunk of the car, nor were there any problems with Amur’s documents, so he let him go.Amur then drove away.After returning to the apartment, he had to make sure that there were no messages from Abel. Then, he thought to himself that Pierre would have to be locked up for a few days before Abel would make a move.If he informed the Mallory family too soon, they would not be as anxious, nor would they hand over the money that easily.Therefore, Abel had to use Pierre to play against the Mallory family, which meant that he should be free for the next few days.Amur lay on the bed while thinking of the advice Luca gave him today before washing up and lying down again.After not sleeping at all last night, he practically fell into a deep sleep the moment he came in contact with the bed.At six o’clock in the afternoon, Luca kept the two reports in her briefcase before clocking off.Before she got off work, she told Aunt
