Female Novel
Chapter 1702
Madam Mallory set aside the matter, claiming that she would leave the decision to the men in thefamily. However, she knew the Mallory family had made their decision even if they had not announcedit to the public.
She had no idea what Percy had on his mind at that time, but it was a marriage of convenience. Nowthat the Johnston family was in trouble, Madison would be abandoned.
The Mallory family was heartless, indeed.
Although Nina was not born in a wealthy family, she knew pretty well how heartless these wealthyfamilies were.
If there was no Johnston family, would Percy have abandoned her so heartlessly when he became tiredof her?
Nina's heart was in dismal at the thought of it. She did not know what happened to her. After all, shewas not Madison. She had never gone through these. However, the sorrow in her heart was gettingbigger endlessly.
“You seem to take it lightly. If the daughter of the Johnston family has feelings for Percy, are you stillgoing to separate them?" Nina asked.
Madam Mallory sneered with a faint smile on her face. "We can't take into account the feelings thatMadison has for Percy. Percy is the one who's deciding all of these now."
Nina looked at her heartless expression. She had the sudden urge to ask if he had made suchdecisions back when they were still together?
Was the engagement between the Mallory and Johnston family also Percy's decision?
If it was his decision, then why did he still mess with her at that time...
Madam Mallory noticed the emotions in Nina's eyes and mocked her, saying, "Why? Why do you looksad when I brought up Madison? Aren't you hoping that they're not on good terms? Now that theJohnston family is in trouble, their relationship is about to end. You should be happy, right?"
Nina could not help but frown when Madam Mallory thought Nina was the kind of person who wouldenjoy watching misfortune befall on others.
She had never wished for anything all along. She did not hope that Percy and Madison could spend therest of their lives happily together, nor did she hope that they would break up.
Although Madam Mallory looked elegant and graceful, she was rotten inside.
Nina said, “You can't read my mind. How do you know whether or not I wish that they're not on goodterms? Am I not allowed to wish that they can spend the rest of their lives happily together and nevercome out to hurt anyone again?" "You!" Madam Mallory was pissed off with what Nina said. Shenarrowed her eyes and looked at Nina. Was this woman really that carefree?
"Well, I don't care what you say. Today, I'm here to remind you this. Don't think you'll have a chanceeven after Percy calls off the engagement with Madison. I'm telling you, that'll be impossible!"
"I've never thought of the possibility of getting back together with him. If you came here just to remindme, there's no need to do so. Let me tell you about my strength. I'll never go back to the same place.Someone like your son might be out of my league, but I have no intention of crossing the class barrierseither. If you have nothing else to say to me, please stop the car at the road junction in front there.Thank you." Nina refused to look at Madam Mallory's face anymore. She had seen enough after allthese years. She would run out of patience if she looked at her one more time.
How pathetic it was for Percy to have a mother like this...
Madam Mallory only thought that Nina did not know her place when she heard her talking scornfully.
However, their conversation had ended. Nina did not look like she still had Percy on her mind. MadamMallory sneered and said to the driver, "Stop at the junction in front."
"Yes, Madam." The driver followed her instructions and stopped the car at the junction.
Once the car stopped, Nina could not wait to push the car door open and get out. She could not standto stay in the same space with Madam Mallory for another minute.
Once the car door was closed, the driver drove away without considering her safety.
Nina took a step back unconsciously and looked at the car that drove away. She shook her head. If sherefused to listen to Madam Mallory's warning and approached Percy, the car would not be driving pasther side. Instead, it would have immediately run over her body.
Nina stroked her arms. She was getting goosebumps on her arms because of her fear of the Malloryfamily.
On the other hand.
Percy was working in T Corporation's office the whole day. After knowing that Luke ran into Nina whenhe went to Luca's apartment to enjoy hotpot, he regretted that he did not follow him there.
After dealing with his work, he drove to the villa and saw Madison at the villa's entrance.
Madison had been waiting for Percy all this time. Since the Johnston family had gotten into trouble, heno longer showed up in front of her. Although they did not have the chance to see each other often,Madison could feel something was clearly wrong.novelbin
She was still able to hold back herself from looking for Percy after Nick convinced her. However, aftershe heard the conversation between her father and her elder brother, she could no longer endure it.
She was not allowed to go into Mallory Corporation without Percy's permission, so she chose to waitfor him here.
Madison did not expect that she could finally see him.
She looked at Percy, who was in his car. Madison walked to the front of his car. Keeping her goodmanners, she smiled at him.
Percy frowned. He did not expect Madison to come here.
It was the villa he stayed in together with Nina. After Nina left, he moved out too. He thought he wasgoing to finally finish handling these problematic matters and get the chance to start over with Ninaagain, which was why he moved back here.
He had only just moved back here, yet Madison had come looking for him. It looked like the Johnstonfamily had constantly sent people to keep an eye on him too.
Madison stood there and looked at Percy. She did not say anything, and Percy did not intend to get outof the car either.
Madison took a deep breath. She could not do anything to this man. She eventually broke the silence.“Percy, I'd like to talk to you."
Percy looked around him. There was no sign of any reporters or outsiders here.
He pushed the car door open and walked toward her, maintaining an arm-length distance. He tried tostay as far away from her as possible. "What's the matter?"
Madison's expression was a little stiff when she realized that Percy was going to talk to her from adistance. After she tucked her hair that was blown messy by the wind behind her ears, she said, "Can'twe talk inside? It's cold here."
Percy narrowed his eyes and looked at her. It was windy in the evening, and it was indeed cold.However, did Madison's feelings have anything to do with him?
"It's better to say it here to prevent unnecessary trouble," Percy said coldly.
Madison looked down, and her eyes darkened.
"Even though my family is in trouble now, I'm still your fiancee, right?" Her tone was filled with sadness.
When Nick decided that she would marry Percy, she had already mentally prepared herself foreverything that was happening today.
Although she loved Percy, he did not love her. That was the sad reality. It was also because of this shecould never have his love and tenderness as it was a marriage of convenience. Therefore, it pushedthe Johnston family into a bottomless abyss of doom.
Perhaps it was a mistake when she insisted on getting married to Percy.
"The Johnston family is in trouble now. Do you think our relationship can last any longer?" Percy took apack of cigarettes out. There was a clinking sound, and the lighter was lit.
Madison looked at the fire of the lighter swaying in the wind as though it would go out anytime. It wasjust like her relationship with Percy. It was so fragile that it broke with just one touch.
