However, at that time, Percy did not say anything and she did not take the initiative to ask him. That was why they ended up where they were.

Nina felt terribly guilty. He was doing his best to overcome difficulties just to be with her, but she was constantly doubting him. She even told him that she was leaving him, unknowingly troubling and stressing him out.

He even went as far as getting drunk to hurt himself.

"Percy, I'll never leave you again—not unless you don't want me anymore." Nina hugged him back.

Percy heard her and said solemnly, "What are you talking about? I'll never let you go for as long as I live."

Nina listened to his oath and smiled sweetly.

Even though the price of their happily ever after was hurting Madison, Madison had indeed deceived Percy. Nina did not feel as guilty anymore. She was happy as long as she was with Percy.

"Okay, we'll be together forever, then!" Nina felt that every cell in her body was filled with joy. She felt like she was walking on air. She knew that the road ahead would be challenging since she had chosen to be with Percy for the rest of her life. However, at that moment, she just wanted to embrace her happiness and not let go.

When Percy heard what she said, he could not help himself from carrying her princess-style.

"Ah, Percy! Let me down!" Nina knew that there were surveillance cameras in the elevator. 'Isn't he afraid of being seen carrying me like this?'

"I won't let go. I'm tired. Come rest with me," Percy said. As soon as the elevator doors opened, he carried Nina into his office and kicked the door shut.

On the other hand.

Madison knew that Percy was holding a press conference, so she sat beside Nick Johnston on the couch in the ward as they stared at the computer screen.

Madison was crazy with jealousy when she heard Percy talk about his relationship with Nina. He went on and on about their past relationship. She smiled only when the reporters constantly questioned and accused him of being a scumbag.

She wanted to destroy him since she was not able to be with him.

Madison had liked Percy for six years but never got close to him due to his cold temperament.

She finally got an opportunity but had to let go of it because of the Johnston family.

Madison was fuming. She was anxious and resentful toward Percy when she saw how the Johnston family was falling deeper and deeper with each passing day.

As such, she thought of faking her suicide to get the public to sympathize with her and ruin Percy's reputation. ‘No way I'm going to let him live a stable and happy life with that woman!'

Madison also planned to wait for some time before she found someone willing to help the Johnston family out of their crisis.

Hence, after she told Nick about it, he immediately agreed with the plan. She did not have the patience to wait any longer. After she knew that Percy had gone to his family with Nina, she immediately arranged to broadcast herself jumping off a building.

Of course, it was all faked. After Nick sent her to the hospital, she immediately pretended to be emotionally unstable and refused to meet anyone. She also paid some reporters off to make sure that the incident would be on the front page.

As she listened to Percy's explanation, she secretly cursed at him, "*sshole!"

Nick felt that something was wrong. 'Why does it seem like Percy is turning things around?'

However, he still comforted Madison. "Don't worry, no one will be fooled by him."

Madison nodded. No matter what, she was the partner who made their relationship public before Nina did. It did not matter that they were together for four years before since he had never gone public with their relationship before this.

'How can a woman who was kept in the dark for four years compare to me?'

They continued watching the live stream, but when they saw Percy revealing her health reports, Madison screamed, "What's going on here?!"

Nick rubbed his eyes in disbelief and uttered, "These are supposed to be confidential. How did Percy get his hands on them?"

He knew about Madison's previous lifestyle, and for that reason, he spent a certain amount of money to hide the records so that she could be portrayed as a proper lady in front of the public.

"It must be the hospital. They must have given the records to Percy! Otherwise, how could he have obtained this information..." Madison felt as though all the strength in her body had been drained. She was very uncomfortable and wanted to find something to support herself, but she could only lie on the sofa weakly. "This man is terrible! He paid off the hospital to get these records. These are all from a few years ago..."

Nick became anxious. The disclosure of this information would put the Johnston family in an even more disadvantageous position.

Their upcoming plans would no longer be realized with the disclosure of this information! copyrighted © content.

"Madison, stay in the ward and don't come out. I'll talk to the hospital's chairperson. If they dared to disclose the information to Percy, I'll sue the hospital into bankruptcy!" Nick hurriedly left the ward.

Before he could find the chairperson, he was surrounded by a large group of reporters as soon as he arrived at the nurse's station.

These reporters were not arranged by him.

"Mr. Nick, Mr. Percy released Ms. Madison's previous medical records five minutes ago. Do you have anything to clarify on the matter?"

"Mr. Nick, are those reports real?"

"Mr. Nick, how's Madison doing now? Did you hide her medical history so that she could marry into the Mallory family?"

The series of questions made Nick pale. He did not have the headspace to deal with these annoying reporters at that moment.

The matron saw the scene unfold and hurriedly stopped the reporters.

"Where's your security team?!" Nick was livid!

"The security team is coming up now." The matron was not sure how to react. These reporters were just standing here earlier without trying to step in. Hence, when the security guards changed shifts and did not have time to come up, she did not urge them.

She did not think that the situation would quickly turn sour when Nick came out. She knew something must have happened.

She could tell that reporters were not on the Johnston family's side anymore!

Nick looked at the reporters who kept pouring in. Several thin nurses stood in front of him. He said to them in a gloomy tone, "I want to see your chairperson. Please help me get in touch with him."

After he said that, he returned to Madison's ward.

"How did it go?" Madison was in a daze and stood up when she saw him coming back. "Have you contacted the chairperson? Maybe we can get him to say that Percy's documents were faked..."

Nick was cranky. ‘It doesn't matter what's true or false. What we have to say is no longer convincing to the local wealthy families.'

Even if the chairperson sided with them, there were still people who would investigate the matter.

He did not have the kind of money to help Madison cover up the absurdity of her previous lifestyle.

Those rich and wealthy were not stupid. They would choose to believe in Percy, not the Johnston family!
