Nina noticed the changes in Luca's gaze. She looked like she wanted to comfort her. Nina placed the washtub on a chair and wet the towel.

"Luca, Percy is getting married to the daughter of the Johnston family," Nina said sentimentally.

Luca nodded her head, telling her that she knew about it.

Nina spoke again, "I wonder why he came to the hospital to mess with me if he's going to marry the daughter of the Johnston family?"

She probably would not have seen the truth if she had not met him this time and Luca was not here to enlighten her.

Luca lifted her hand and stroked her head.

Nina was startled. This gesture...

When she was still close with Bianca back then, they would stroke each other's heads to comfort each other if one of them was feeling sad. It was to show that they still had each other.

[Maybe there are some things that Mr. Mallory hasn't told you.] Luca hinted at her.

Nina looked at the words on the phone screen and smiled. “Yes, he didn't tell me he was going to marry the daughter of the Johnston family.”

Luca was stunned. That was not what she meant.

She looked at Nina, but it seemed like she did not notice it.

Luca was struggling in her heart whether she should tell Nina that Percy might have his reasons and plans.

However, she could not tell her right away.

It was because Nina was impulsive. She had finally realized that her feelings for Percy were not as simple as she thought they were. Once she told her that Percy probably had his own plans, Nina would dash out of the hospital to ask him about it.

Percy had not told anyone about his plan. That only indicated that the plan was meant to be kept a secret.

That was why he did not tell Nina about it either.

When she thought of this, Luca allowed Nina to misunderstand what she meant.

After all, Percy would certainly pursue Nina once he was done with his plan. However, it would be harder for him to get Nina back in the future after everything that he did to upset Nina.

Percy was a good man with an indomitable will. He would still pursue Nina even if it was hard.

Nina sniffed and saw that Luca was not typing anymore. She picked up the towel, wrung it, and said, "Alright. Let's not talk about him. He's just an *sshole. He's just getting married, isn't he?" Come on, let me wipe your body."

Luca shook her head and pointed at the door.

It dawned on Nina that she had not closed the door. "Oh, I haven't closed the door. Look at me. How silly of me^"

She hurriedly went to close the door and pulled the curtains. Then, she began to wipe Luca's body.

On the other hand.

Percy had just reached the parking lot when he felt his phone vibrate for a while. He glanced at it, and it was a notification from Instagram.

He could not help but smile. Could it be that Nina had approved his request?

He opened his Instagram application and looked at it. The smile on his face disappeared. It was indeed a notification from Nina, but she did not approve his friend request. She rejected it instead.

At most, Percy thought Nina would not approve it. He did not expect her to reject him.

He was angry. Then, he sent another request to her. This time, Instagram notified him that he had been blocked, so he was unable to send any more requests to her. "What a heartless woman!" Percy was pissed off. Not only did she reject him but she had even blocked him now?

He desperately wanted to head back there and reason with her, but when he thought about how he had just made her angry, he shook his head helplessly. Never mind, he would ask her to unblock him next time.

After all, he had been together with Nina for so many years. He already knew what kind of person she was.

She would understand it if he explained to her after everything was settled.

Percy got back into his car and switched on the news broadcast. He frowned when he heard the contents.

They were reporting about his marriage to the daughter of the Johnston family...

Percy picked up his phone immediately and opened a website. He saw the news headline on top of the website.

Sure enough, his engagement to the daughter of the Johnston family was no longer a secret from the media. However, they had never told the public that their marriage would be regarded as a union between the families of the bride and groom.

Where did the news come from?

The only person who came into Percy's mind was Old Master Mallory.

He made a call to Old Master Mallory.

"Were you the one who spread the news?" Percy sounded a little harsh.

"Yes, I was the one who asked them to spread the news. The Johnston family agreed to it as well," Old Master Mallory replied to him slowly. "Your younger brother's case is too big now. Although the police haven't concluded their investigation, they already see Pierre as the mastermind. I'm spreading the news about you and the daughter of the Johnston family to divert the public's attention. It'll be easier for Pierre this way."

Percy listened to how the old master had made him the hot topic for Pierre's sake. He frowned and said in a serious tone, “Even if Pierre can handle this well and escape from his legal responsibilities, do you think the Crawford family is going to let him get away with it?”

“Since he has escaped from his legal responsibilities, that'll prove Pierre had nothing to do with the case. The reports will only show that he established a company all by himself and he didn't do anything to steal others' businesses. Old Master Crawford said that it's all about one's capabilities when it comes to business. Even if Pierre wanted to steal T Corporation's business, what's wrong with it? He has his own way of doing things.” Although Old Master Mallory said he would never let Pierre get away with it, Pierre was still his grandson, after all. He truly loved him.Text content © .

“Grandpa, you're spoiling Pierre. I hope you won't regret it if he takes things too far the next time.” Percy was disappointed in the old master.

The old master had been training him to become his heir all along, and he was strict to him.

He was more lenient with Pierre.

Although what Pierre did this time was wrong, the old master got to know what he had been doing behind his back and thought Pierre was capable of managing a company.

Hence, that was why the old master changed his mind.

He even asked the Johnston family to cooperate with him to divert the public's attention.

Percy slammed the steering wheel hard after he hung up the call.

It was not because he was worried about the old master releasing the news to the public. After all, his marriage to the daughter of the Johnston family would never work out. It did not matter whether it was disclosed to the public or not. Eventually, everyone would know that they had broken up.

What annoyed him was that Nina had probably seen the news too and that was why she blocked him.

Percy made a call with a gloomy expression on his face.

The call was answered, and he gave his orders, “Analyze the original voice of the audio no matter what it takes.”

“Yes,” the person on the other end of the call answered.

Percy sent a message to Luke after he hung up the phone. [The old master isn't planning to hold Pierre accountable for what he's done. And it seems like Pierre has found a way to clear his name. I can't

intervene in this matter anymore. You'll need to work on your own. I'll send the audio to you once the original voice is separated."
