Female Novel
Chapter 1635
Nina put her phone back in her bag.
She took the initiative to take care of Luca because she saw that Luke was here and she wanted themto keep a distance from each other.
After she decided to stay here and look after Luca, she realized that she had not prepared anything.
Nina thought for a moment and took her phone out again. She thought of asking Sue to bring hernecessities over when she got off work. That way, she could visit Luca at the hospital as well.
She saw a friend request when she opened her Instagram.
Nina was startled for a while. It was a friend request from Percy. She deleted him when she ended hertoxic relationship with him back then. She did not block him as she thought he would not be shamelessenough to pester her.
However, he had sent her a friend request now.
Did he have anything to tell her?
Nina looked at the friend request. She thought it was probably nothing important since there wasnothing written in the message box.
She did not approve or reject it as she thought it would become invalid after a couple of days.
She would only be focused on taking care of Luca in the next three days.
Nina calmed herself down and put aside the thoughts in her mind. Then, she sent a message to Sue.
She put her phone back into her bag when she saw Sue agreeing to help her.
She could not keep on holding her phone. She would not be able to stop herself from looking at Percy'sfriend request if she continued to hold it.
On the other hand.
After everything had happened, Pierre found a place for himself to hide. He knew a lot of people, sothere was someone willing to take him in even though he was in big trouble now.
He sat on a shabby sofa in the residential building with a look of despise on his face.
How did he end up like this?
He would not be hiding in a place like this if not for those people who were looking for him everywhere.He had many wealthy friends, but it was not safe for him to hide in any of their houses.
After all, the Mallory family knew his friends too. They would look for them first if they were looking forhim.
Hence, Pierre contacted a street gangster and hid in his house.
Percy held his phone and glanced at his current situation. He cursed in a low voice, “Damn it. It's allthat b*tch's fault."
Liam, the one who took him in, glanced at him and shook his head. He said, "Mr. Mallory, I have noidea why you're hiding. You've only kidnapped a woman, and she's not even dead. You can just ask thetwo brothers to take the blame for you and give them more money when the time comes."novelbin
Percy glanced at him. "Indeed, nothing can happen to me even if I kidnapped a woman. The problemnow is that Luke Crawford isn't going to let me go so easily. Besides, the police and the Mallory familyare looking for me as well. The Crawford family is after me too. What can the police and the Malloryfamily do to me? I'm only running away from the Crawfords."
"I don't get it. She's just a random woman. How did you offend the Crawford family?" Liam wasconfused. He poured a pint of beer for him.
Pierre picked it up and drank a mouthful of beer. Then, he spat it on the ground. "What kind of beer isthis? It tastes awful."
Liam smiled and explained, "Of course, my beer is incomparable for the ones you usually drank. It's theend of the month and I'm short on cash. I can only afford this beer."
"It tastes like sh*t. Don't drink it anymore. Throw this away. I'll bring you out and show you what goodbeer tastes like after everything is over." Pierre was still thinking positively even though he was beinghunted down now. He was waiting for his men to get in touch with the two brothers, Eric and Derek. Hewould ask them to take the blame for him.
Who was taking the blame for him did not matter to him either. Luca was fine except for the wounds onher face.
"Sure thing." Liam also believed that nothing would happen to Pierre, so he treated him well as thoughhe was God.
Then, he added, "It's a surprise how capable that woman is to be able to make Luke Crawford save herin person."
Pierre narrowed his eyes and took his box of cigarettes out of his pocket. He handed Liam a cigaretteand lit up another for himself too. "I did think of it, but it surprised me that Luke seems to care a lot forher."
Men could understand each other. Thus, Pierre knew how much Luke cared for Luca.
However, the incident this time made him realize that Luke was far more concerned about Luca than hehad expected.
Pierre added, "Previously, the only person who could affect Luke that much was his wife."
Something crossed Liam's mind. He touched his chin and replied, "How can a normal man be togetherwith only one woman? I'm guessing something is going on between them, and that's why Luke got sonervous. But you better be careful after they drop the case. Even though someone will take the blamefor you, there'll be a feud between you and Luke Crawford."
Pierre sneered. "He's just Luke Crawford. The people in A City are afraid of him, but I'm not."
Liam gave him a thumbs up and continued to butter him up. "Bravo, Mr. Mallory."
Pierre's phone rang when he received notifications. He had a wicked grin on his face when he glancedat his phone.
After Derek and Eric were subdued by the police, they were immediately sent to the hospital. Derekwas not seriously injured, and Pierre's men had already talked to him after impersonating as doctors.
Money could settle this.
Derek promised that he would take responsibility after everything that happened.
Liam saw the smile on his face and asked, “Mr. Mallory, has it been settled?"
"Money is a good thing, indeed. I promised to give more money to the two brothers and they agreed totake the blame for the case." Pierre was not surprised that they were willing to make the deal.
It did not matter if they were the culprits or an accomplice. They could not escape from going to prisonafter getting caught by the police.
This case was not serious either. Even if they were made out to be the culprits, they would just have tostay a few years longer in prison. They would be able to enjoy themselves with the money given tothem after they got out.
"That's great. Congratulations!" Liam was busy licking his boots. The reason why he listened to Pierreso much was that many of his businesses depended on Pierre.
He would lose most of his businesses if Pierre had a hard time. Not only did Liam take Pierre in but healso fawned over him for the sake of his interests.
"Let's see what Luke can do to me when someone's taking the blame for me!" There was a maliciouslook in Pierre's eyes, which revealed his hatred for Luke.
He did not expect the plan that he carefully plotted to be exposed that quickly. Hence, he lost thechance to participate in the tender.
His plan was ruined, and he even got himself in big trouble because of this.
He would never forget this. It was nothing more than just the Crawford family. He would seek revengesooner or later.
“You're so capable. What can he do to you? Mr. Mallory, now that those two people will be covering upfor you, you can go home anytime you wish. They don't have any evidence, so they can't do anythingto you," said Liam.
What he said was right, but the place where they found Luca was indeed his villa.
Pierre knew it would be hard to fool his family.
