Nina had deliberately ignored it when Madam Mallory rang the doorbell earlier.

'Did she think she could stop me? How foolish of her! The Mallories' influence is far beyond what this b*tch can imagine!'

Nina lowered her head. She was well aware of the wide gap between her and Percy.

Nevertheless, she did not intend to let go just like that. She only acknowledged and accepted her feelings for him after so many years. Although their relationship came with hardships, she still wanted to give it her best shot.

After all, she had no other attachments to this world, nor any worries or burdens. Falling in love with Percy was the only way she could save herself.

'Since there's no way out and nothing to lose, why should I let go of my soul mate?'

Percy held Nina's hand tightly as they faced Madam Mallory's imposing manner. He was calm.

"You're right on something you just said. We should indeed refer to others with the appropriate title. I called Nina that because we're already legally married," Percy said as he raised her hand and showed Madam Mallory the ring on Nina's ring finger.

He put the ring on her when they got their marriage license abroad.

Nina would never take off the ring.

"What? You're married?!" Madam Mallory was surprised, but she calmed down after a second. She said smugly, "So what? You married abroad, so your marriage is only recognized abroad. In A City, you don't have the documents to go through the relevant formalities with her. Your marriage is not recognized here."

"I have my documents," Percy said calmly. He got everything ready long before Nina accepted his love.

At that time, he had already decided that Nina was the only one he wanted to stand by his side for the rest of his life.

He chose to get married abroad out of convenience. They planned to get it notarized in A City so even if Old Master Mallory tried anything with the Civil Affairs Bureau employees, they would have a legally binding marriage license. No one could change the fact that he and Nina were husband and wife.

"What a joke! Your passport is still in Mallory Manor. Where did you get the necessary documents to get a marriage license?" Madam Mallory did not believe Percy because Old Master Mallory had them lock up his passport after he announced that he had gotten together with Nina.

There would be no way for Percy to get married even if he wanted to. After all, they could not get married in A City if he did not have his passport.

"Are you sure?" Percy looked at her indifferently as if he was looking at a stranger, not at his biological mother.

"What do you mean..." Madam Mallory was a little stunned when she saw Percy's reaction. She thought of something and immediately picked up her phone to call the Mallory family's butler, Mr. Bennet.

"Go confirm something for me. Ask Pierre to check if Percy's passport is still in the safe," she said with a hurried tone.

The password to the safe was only known to Old Master Mallory, her, and Pierre. The servants working at the manor had no clue. The three of them would never steal the passport to help Percy and Nina.

If Percy wanted to get his passport, he had no other choice but to destroy the safe.

An alarm would sound if the safe at home was damaged. They did not hear the alarm go off as far as they could remember, and the safe was still in good condition.

"Don't bother. My passport is still in the safe," Percy said calmly.

Madam Mallory frowned and looked at him, "What do you mean by that?"

"That's my old passport. I got a new one when you tried to arrange a marriage with the Johnstons for me," Percy said. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

He had planned everything out to be with Nina.

Nina was surprised to hear that he prepared everything ahead of time just to be with her.

She remembered the sweet words that Percy often whispered in her ear, telling her that she was his the first time he laid eyes on her.

Nina did not believe him at the time. However, after she heard Percy's confession, she began to believe that Percy had planned everything a long time ago just to be with her.

"What did you say?" Madam Mallory did not believe what she heard.

Percy kept quiet.

Pierre's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Mom, what did you ask me to find? The safe hasn't been opened for a while."

"I see. Let's talk about it when I get back." Madam Mallory hung up the phone and stood up. "Percy, are you sure you want to go against your grandfather to the end to marry this woman?"

"Nina is my choice. If you accept it, great. If you refuse to accept it, it has nothing to do with me." Percy said with a cold expression. Since the cat was out of the bag, he did not feel the need to hide anything

anymore.

"Since you already know, I'll contact reporters tomorrow and tell them the good news."

"You... How dare you?!" Madam Mallory's body swayed. She was a little dizzy from the anger.

"I'll make the necessary arrangements. All you and grandpa have to do is wait and watch the news tomorrow." Percy maintained a cold expression, not taking Madam Mallory's reaction to heart.

Nina pulled his hand and motioned for him to stop talking.

"You wouldn't dare. If you do that, you'll no longer be the CEO of Mallory Corporation!" Madam Mallory threatened. The only thing that she had left to use against him was his role in Mallory Corporation.

Percy was born to be God's favored one. She did not believe that he would give up a bright future for Nina.

"Whatever, I don't care." After Percy finished speaking, he glanced at Nina to make it clear that she was the only one that he cared about.

"You, you..." Madam Mallory felt as though it was a stranger standing in front of her. Out of nowhere, she blacked out and fell on the sofa.

"Aunt Karen..." Nina was the first to notice that something was wrong. She wanted to step forward to help her, but she was not as fast as the speed at which Madam Mallory fell.

"Call an ambulance!" Nina turned around and shouted at Percy. Her hands supported Madam Mallory's shoulders to prevent her from falling to the ground while she was unconscious.

Percy frowned. He did not think that his mother was acting, so he took out his phone and hurriedly called for an ambulance.

Madam Mallory was sent to the emergency room in a panic. She was attended to behind the blinds for half an hour before Johann came out and said to them, "The patient suddenly fainted due to high blood pressure. Her blood pressure is stable now, but she still needs to be hospitalized for observation. Does she have hypertension?"

Percy shook his head and responded, "Her blood pressure always comes out normal in the annual physical examination."

"In that case, she fainted due to external stimuli," Johann confirmed and jotted it down on the medical record. "Although her blood pressure had been normal, this sudden high blood pressure caused her to faint. To be on the safe side, she should monitor her blood pressure so as not to have this happen again. There are many complications of hypertension. Her hospitalization is also to avoid any sequelae.”

"Okay." Percy nodded.

Nina was worried. "Dr. Park, will Aunt Karen be alright?"
