Percy asked Luke to send him the evidence of Pierre plotting schemes behind their backs...

Luke fell silent for a few seconds when he looked at the message. Then, he replied to him: [Okay.]

After Pierre threatened him to quit the tender by kidnapping Luca, Percy and Luke had been digging deeper into Pierre's past deeds.

Pierre was currently expanding his company, and his ventures overlapped with their two families' corporations. On the surface, it did not seem that Pierre intended to steal their business.

However, it was just a front and something Pierre did to impress the Mallory family.

After all, the Mallory family had to stand up for their family members for the sake of their reputation. If they found out that Pierre's company was affecting the interests of their family business and the Crawford family's business, they would have certainly stopped Pierre instead of supporting him.

Pierre was just putting a front for others to see.

He had been secretly doing things that were not as simple as the others thought. He had been planning quietly and building connections with others. He was waiting for the day to take over the businesses of the two families.

Luke's men had been busy collecting evidence so that Luke could deal with Pierre one day.

Now, Percy was asking Luke for the evidence. That indicated that Percy was going to declare war on Pierre.

Percy must be doing it for Nina's sake.

Everyone in the Mallory family was supportive of Pierre. Percy was afraid that his parents would oppose him for getting together with Nina. At the same time, he had to deal with Pierre. His family would not be able to understand him.

They might even get in his way.

However, if they found out Pierre was planning to destroy the foundation of the Mallory family that had lasted for 50 years, Percy might be able to get their full support. Then, it would be easier for him to be with Nina.

Percy was the same as Luke. They would sacrifice everything for love.

Luke recalled how many ill-intentioned people he had kicked away just to get together with Bianca back then. It was a difficult process.

Therefore, even when he discussed it with Percy before, the evidence in his hands was meant to be used when it was necessary to make Pierre suffer a crushing defeat. Luke thought this was the right time to reveal the evidence so that it could make things easier for Percy and Nina.

Percy and Nina had been struggling for years, and finally, they were able to get together. It was something Luca wanted to witness too. Hence, Luke sent the evidence to Percy without a second thought.

30 seconds later, Percy replied to him: [Thank you.]

[Don't mention it. We're brothers.] Then, Luke stood up and headed to the dining room.

Percy had to face the Mallory family alone. This was all Luke could do for him.

In the hospital.

Percy saved the document and said to Nina, “I've got the document."

Nina looked at the determined expression on his face and asked with concern, "Are you really going to do this?"

Nina was able to regain her strength last night before she went to sleep. Hence, she had a long talk with Percy. They talked about everything—their misunderstandings in the past, their feelings for each other now, and the expectations they had for their future.

That was when she knew that Percy was not only asking her to stay beside him. He wanted her to stay with him for the rest of his life and give her a proper status acknowledged by everyone else—that was, the title of Mrs. Mallory.

He told her that he had always wanted her to become his wife.

However, he did not get the chance to say it back then. He thought that as long as she stayed beside him, she would know his feelings for her even if he did not tell her about them. He thought they would have a happy ending someday.

Percy had no idea that Nina did not know what he felt for her back then.

Perhaps what he did was not enough for her, but when he wanted to do something more for her, the elders in the Mallory family insisted on getting him a fiancee—Madison Johnston.

There was no way Percy could reject them. It was because Nina would be the one getting hurt once he rejected them.

Percy thought Nina had feelings for him and she would not leave him easily. However, he did not expect Nina to leave him that quickly when he was forced to announce to the public that he was getting engaged to Madison.

He had a series of plans behind him, plans of what he wanted to do with Nina. However, she left him... He was left with no choice. He told himself not to go looking for Nina before he settled everything.

Then, Nina learned everything that happened next.

The plan Percy implemented was to ruin the Johnston family. It would make the Mallory family change their minds and call off their engagement. Then, he would get Nina back.

Everything was going smoothly as he had planned, except that Nina concealed her feelings and was unable to figure out her feelings for him.

Percy did not expect Pierre to have the guts to hold Nina captive either.

However, those few days when Nina was imprisoned made her figure out what she felt for Percy.

Now, they were happy to be together with each other. There was almost nothing in between them that could separate them, other than the Mallory family.

If Percy wanted to marry Nina, it was something he could do at any time. Original from .

Still, he did not want Nina to suffer after she married him. He did not want her to get bullied by the Mallory family. That was why he had to do this.

"I've decided..." Percy stood up. "I've received news that Pierre was admitted to the hospital yesterday. He got beaten up by Luca. The important members of the Mallory family are in his ward now. I'll bring this document and the evidence I've collected with me to negotiate with them.”

Nina did not know what his chances were in the negotiation this time.

Percy had talked to her about this before. He asked her if she would be willing to accept it if the price they had to pay to be together was to stop going after Pierre. She replied without a second thought.

She nodded and said, “I can accept it.”

She was more concerned about Percy compared to Pierre getting his punishment.

What Pierre was about to do could cause him to cut off ties with the Mallory family if he did not handle it well.

She was not worried about Pierre losing everything after cutting ties with the Mallory family. Pierre was capable, and he had friends. Even if he lost everything, he would still be able to stand up and fight again.

Nina just could not bear to see Pierre cutting ties with his family for her sake.

"I know what you're thinking. After all these years, I know that I can't leave you. If I have to choose between you and my family, I'll definitely choose you. Besides, we haven't gotten there yet. So, trust me, alright?" Percy looked at her with determination.

Nina nodded and grasped his hand tightly. "I trust you, but I also hope you can handle this well. They're your family, after all."

“Except for Pierre.” Percy did not see him as his younger brother anymore.

Pierre used to be overly confident in doing things back then, and Percy had always been there to help him handle the problems he caused. That was why Pierre was so powerful now.

Percy never expected that his brother whom he had always helped would become a wolf that turned on him.
