After the two had their dinner, Nina thought Percy was heading home, but she realized the car was not heading in that direction. Hence, she got curious and asked, "Where are we going now?""To the hospital," replied Percy."Are you not feeling well?" Nina asked anxiously. She looked at him and noticed that he seemed fine. There were no signs of discomfort. Suddenly, something came into her mind, and she asked, "Are you going to visit Pierre?""Yeah, just to check on him. You don't have to come up. Can you wait for me in the car downstairs for a while?" asked Percy. He had not visited Pierre since he came out of the detention ward. Percy planned to pay him a visit since the hospital was nearby.However, when Percy heard Nina’s tone a moment ago, he hesitated and intended to ask for her opinion."If you don't want to go to the hospital, we can go home.” It would be the same if he went later.Nina shook her head and replied, "No need. Just go, but I won't go up. I'll wait for you
"Call the police? Sure, but I don't know if Jean’s case has been closed. But with just 10,000 or 20,000 dollars involved, the police definitely won't take it seriously. That's why they haven't come looking for you since you left. After all, these are minor cases. "But if you walk right into the station yourself, then who knows what might happen?" Nina said. "If you decide to call the police, go ahead and do it. I'm curious to see if the police will accuse me of."After that, Nina sized Marie up from head to toe. Despite the scorching weather, Marie was wearing long sleeves. There might be something wrong with her arms. Nina heard that the illness could cause growths on the skin. If someone had some medical knowledge, they could easily figure out what was going on.Marie's expression darkened. Naturally, she dared not to report to the police. What would she report? Nina's defamation? Yet, a simple check in the hospital's system would reveal that it was not defamation. Plus,
"Are you not going to say a word?" Karen really wanted to force Nina to admit that Percy was causing trouble for Pierre. However, Nina unexpectedly remained silent. Suddenly, Karen recalled what happened a few days ago. Karen wanted to cause trouble for Nina while Percy was away on a business trip. However, her subordinate informed her that Nina had moved into Luke’s place. If she wanted to trouble Nina, she had to go to Luke's place. She did not do that, or rather, she dared not to. Nina saw the gloomy expression on Karen’s face and she knew she had to be thinking about something. Thus, she replied, "I'm just here to buy some fruits. If you don't believe me, there's a bag of fruits in my trunk, and the bag is from the fruit shop near the hospital. Would you like to take a look?" Karen could not be bothered to look. She wanted to slap Nina, but they were at a hospital. Even though there were no people around, there were cars nearby. Almost all the cars here were equipped
"Honey," Percy walked over and affectionately called out.Nina heard his voice. She lifted her head, let out a sigh of relief, and walked toward him. "Let's go home.""No." Percy shook his head."What's wrong? Do you have something else to do?" Nina had forgotten the lie she told Percy."Weren't you feeling unwell? Let me take you to the emergency room." Percy held her hand, pretending to take her to the emergency room. "If your stomach hurts, don't endure it. Let's go for a check-up first, and then we can go back."Nina became anxious. She did not expect that she would have to see a doctor after telling a lie.However, since the lie had been told, she could not tell him it was just to avoid him meeting his mother, right? She had to continue the fabrication. "I just ate too much. I'll go back and deal with it. There's nothing serious.""Are you sure there's nothing wrong?" Percy pretended to furrow his brows with concern. He was just worried about her.This silly woman must hav
Pierre looked at Karen's pitiful appearance and found himself unable to summon even a whisper of compassion in his heart. If it were in the past, he would definitely feel sorry for her. After all, his mother doted on him, and in return, he would care for her, protect her, and not let anyone bully her.However, he was thoroughly disappointed this time."Also, I understand you wanted to hit that man out of anger, but how could you let someone record it? Now, the whole internet wants you to prove your innocence by asking Silas to come out and speak. What about him? Did you kill him?" Pierre continued to ask.Pierre had to lay on the bed 24/7. He was bored out of his wits. That was why he was particularly interested in these matters.Karen shook her head and sobbed. "He's not dead.""He's not dead, but he's probably barely holding on," Pierre understood his mother very well.Karen nodded. "It wasn't intentional. I've endured it for so long and suffered so much, so I..."How she wish
Pierre was about to go to sleep.However, there were some people who just would not let him sleep. His caretaker, Elena, had only just sat down when her cell phone rang.Pierre opened his eyes, feeling irritated. "Are you thinking of quitting this job or what?" Elena shuddered. She instinctively thought it was her phone even though she remembered having put it on silent mode. She took it out and realized it was not her phone that was ringing."Mr. Pierre, it's your phone." She quivered as she offered a reminder.Pierre was startled for a moment. Since his accident, he had become the butt of jokes in his circle. Everyone called him Limp Leg Pierre.As a crippled heir of the Mallory family, he was deemed powerless. Hence, people were reluctant to associate with him. Hence, his phone had always been silent. Even when it rang, he thought it was Elena's phone.Pierre turned over and picked up his phone. His heart skipped a beat when he saw a string of numbers. He had a bad fee
"Don't worry, I promise I won't harm you this time. Even if our cooperation fails, I won't do anything to you," Abel reassured him."Where are you in the hospital?" Pierre's heart stirred. He had no choice but to rely on Karen.Deep down, though, he knew Karen was unreliable.Relying on her was worse than relying on the person he was about to cooperate with!"I'm in the hospital cafeteria right now. Not inside but facing the parking lot," said Abel as he glanced around at his surroundings.The hospital at night was far less lively than during the day, and the cafeteria had no food at this hour. As such, there were hardly any people around."Wait for me." Pierre hung up the phone and shouted loudly at the door, "Come in!"The ward was well soundproofed, and Elena had closed the door tightly. That was why she did not hear Pierre's voice.Pierre frowned and had no choice but to continue yelling loudly, "Come in!"This time, Elena heard it and quickly poked her head in. "Mr. Pierr
Nevertheless, Pierre clearly realized that there was no way he could compete with Abel.At least not now. He could not even stand up.If he really got into a fight, he would be the one at a disadvantage, and his leg might end up even worse."Listen to me. As long as you're willing to provide me with this money, I'll fulfill one of your wishes," added Abel. He tasked Hera with investigating some things about Pierre today and unexpectedly found some information. These things were his capital for negotiating cooperation with Pierre."Any wish?" asked Pierre."Not exactly. It depends on what you want to do.” Abel was not so naive as to promise any wish. Even though he could back out of the agreement, he had already tricked Pierre once. Seeing Pierre as a cripple made him suddenly feel reluctant to trick him again.However, it was not out of pity for Pierre. Abel just felt that this person, though foolishly rich, would not fall for more tricks again."That won't do," replied Pierre
