Nina looked at Jean, and he subconsciously dodged her eye contact.

She could tell what was going on with just one gesture of his. Original from .

"Jean." Nina's voice was low and had a warning tone.

Jean could not help but shiver a little and hurriedly said to Jonny, "Jonny."

Jonny lifted his hand and interrupted him, "Shut up."

Jean shut his mouth instantly.

Jonny looked at Nina and said with a smile, "So you're Percy's girlfriend. Forgive me for the nonsense I said just now. It was ignorant of me to have failed to recognize you."

Nina was disgusted at Jonny's change of attitude. Before she could give another eviction order, Jean informed him, "Jonny, my sister is now Percy's fiancee."

Although the engagement was low-key, Percy's announcement after it happened was very high-profile.

Therefore, practically everyone in A City knew that Percy was engaged.

"Oh, yes, yes, I forgot. Your sister is already engaged to Percy." Jonny slapped the back of his head. "Hey, don't blame me. If you had made things clear earlier, there wouldn't have been this confusion, isn't that right? Anyway, you can be the bigger person and don't blame me. I'll be your underling from now on. I'll follow behind you and Percy. I'll help you solve all your problems."

Nina knew that Percy was renowned in A City's underworld and perhaps not just A City.

Despite that, Percy would never get involved with people like Jonny.

The people who helped Percy deal with things were professionally trained, and when confronted, it would not be an exaggeration to say that they could transform themselves into well-trained soldiers. Those people were absolutely not the type of people to abuse their power by relying on fighting to gain territory. They did not make a living from extortion.

"Percy doesn't need your help," Nina said coldly. Since he was so afraid of Percy's name, she deliberately mentioned it.

Besides, there was no shame in mentioning her own man's name.

"You!" Jonny did not expect her to humiliate him.

"Jonny, don't be angry. Some people just like assuming someone else's power. She's just using Percy's name to scare you." Marie's voice could be heard from the bedroom.

Nina looked toward the bedroom door.

Marie was already standing there, leaning against Jean as though she was without bones. She did not even properly put on her clothes. There was just a piece of fabric that sparsely covered some places.

Nina looked at her furiously. This was how she bewitched Jean!

“Jonny, why don't you guys go first? She has something important to say to me," said Jean in a hurry.

Jonny was grim-faced. "What about my matter?"

"I'll definitely help you," Jean said hastily. He had already taken his money, so of course, he had to say so.

"Alright, you said it. If you break your promise, you'll have to sever an arm for me." After Jonny warned him, he turned around to leave.

The people behind him followed him and left.

The living room fell silent.

Nina had a bad feeling about this. "What did you promise him?"

Jean had a sullen face. "It's none of your business."

"You think I want to know? If I didn't have to save your ass every time, I wouldn't even bother finding out. Jean, you've caused enough trouble. If there's a next time, I won't give a damn about you anymore," Nina warned.

"Wow, is this how a sister should act? Don't you know how to respect your elder brother?" Marie put her arm around his.

"Shut up and get out of this house!" Nina saw the intimacy between them and flew into a rage.

This woman had harmed Jean before, yet she still wanted to continue harming him?

"I'm your brother's girlfriend and also your sister-in-law. This is your brother's house. Why can't I be here? Plus, watch your mouth. If the reporters find out that this is how you treat your family, I'm assuming that Percy will be disgusted, right? When that time comes, your dream of marrying rich would be shattered." Marie was not afraid of her.

Nina was not going to pay any attention to her. She looked at Jean instead and asked, "What exactly did you promise that hooligan?"

"There's no need for you to know," Jean said impatiently.

Marie also taunted her, "What? You managed to join a rich family, so you don't care about your brother or your sick and dying mother. He has no choice but to stand on his own two feet by helping people do

some things. Is there a problem with that? Unless you'll only be happy when he starves to death? Tsk, tsk, tsk, I don't know how someone could even fall for that evil heart of yours."

Nina slowly clenched her fists as she listened to Marie constantly stir up trouble. "Marie, do you think I don't know the sh*t you're doing behind his back?"

"What did I do?" Marie frowned.

"Fine, I'll say it. Jean, listen up. Remember what happened at the bar? Marie teamed up with the owner of the bar to plot against you. I've investigated everything clearly, and it's not the first time she's done something like this. She's been going to different bars, cooperating with the bar owners to provoke people to fight and destroy the bar equipment. Then, she would have those people compensate for it. In your case, she had it all planned out, yet you're still protecting her like a fool. You even got back together with her. You almost became a murderer. Open your eyes and take a good look at the vicious woman beside you!" said Nina as she could not help but push her finger against his head, hoping to knock some sense into him.

Jean looked at Marie. “Is what she said true?'

Of course, Marie shook her head and denied it. "Jean, it's not at all like what she said. She just wants to destroy our relationship, so she made up such a wicked lie."

Nina snorted, "I offered a sky-high payout to the bar owner you worked with, but he had to give me a little something in return."

"What is it?" Marie had a bad feeling.

"The surveillance video recording of you teaming up with him. It recorded your conversation with him crystal clear." Nina looked at Marie whose face slowly turned pale, then she turned to look at Jean. "If you want to see it, I can send it to your email as soon as I go back."

Jean's face took on a ghastly expression. He lifted his hand and slapped Marie. "Is what she said true?"

Marie continued to deny it. She shook her head and endured the prickling pain on her face while her hatred for Nina filled her heart. "No, she's ruining our relationship on purpose by spreading lies. I've loved you for so long. How could I do such a thing? If she really had evidence, she would've taken it out to stop us from the very start instead of waiting until now. She's doing it on purpose."

Jean thought that she had a point and looked at Nina suspiciously.

Nina knew that he believed in Marie's bullsh*t. She internally cursed at his stupidity.
