Chapter 3040
"I'm still not sure who she is yet, but don't worry. I'll help you find her. That person has been in thishospital, so I must've seen her before. I'll find out after a little investigation," said Karen
“Have someone find out now." Pierre was impatient.
“Pierre, be patient. Even if I do find her, your leg is still in a cast. She can't even treat you yet," Karenadvised him as finding that person would take some time.
Pierre scoffed.
Karen's words gave him hope, so he said, "I don't care. You must find that person."
He could not peacefully recuperate on his hospital bed until someone told him he could make a fullrecovery.
"I'll send someone to investigate, so don't worry." Karen patted his arm. Her heart ached at the sight ofhis face. "Pierre, you've lost weight."
"Life in the detainment ward was torture." Pierre frowned. Although he was out now, he was stillunhappy with how long it took his grandpa to deal with the situation. "Did Grandpa purposely keep mein there longer?"
Karen sighed and shook her head. "I don't know what your grandpa is thinking. He can't stand me at allright now. Pierre, you must get better soon and regain Old Master Mallory's trust. Only then will ourlives get better."
"Hmph, it's all your fault." Pierre could not stand Karen either.
He did not think he had caused much trouble to the Mallory family at all. Instead, he thought that OldMaster Mallory gave up on both of them because of Karen's past.
Pierre knew that the old master did not care about him. He expected the old man to show up bymorning, but he did not. He did not even call. It seemed like the old man was deliberately giving him thecold shoulder.
Pierre had never seen himself as the problem. He only blamed Karen.
Karen wanted to reason with Pierre, but she knew that she had spoiled her son too much. He mightlisten if Old Master Mallory were to talk some sense into him.
However, he would never listen to her.
If Pierre thought that he was right, no one could change his mind—let alone the person who had beenspoiling him his entire life...
Karen felt bitter. Her eldest son insisted on choosing a woman from a lowly family, and her youngestson blamed her for everything.novelbin
Everyone made mistakes, but she was lucky enough to escape when she did.
She could not understand why Daryl could not come to terms with it when it was all in the past. It wasnot like she cheated on him after their marriage. After the incident came to light, everyone blamed heras if she was the one who cheated...
Karen removed her hand from Pierre's arm. Even the son she loved the most did not care about her.
Although she felt wronged, she would not vent her anger on Pierre.
Karen was about to say something when there was a knock on the door.
“Come in," Pierre said without emotion.
A man opened the door and glanced at the people in the ward to make sure he was in the right place.Then, he said respectfully, "Mr. Pierre, I'm your new assistant."
"I know," Pierre said with a cold expression.
News had spread that he sent his assistant away. He could not get himself a new one for some time,so he had his secretary be his temporary assistant.
This man was recruited by the company's HR department some time ago. He was a fresh graduatewho was not from A City, so he did not know what happened to the company before. That was why hegot the job.
The man noticed that Pierre was not in a good mood, so he carefully placed the documents he broughtover from the company on the table. "These are the documents that need your signature."
Karen frowned at the thick stack of documents. "Pierre, you're still recovering. How can you deal withthings like this now?"
Pierre shooed his assistant away without saying another word.
His assistant did not understand what he meant, so he responded, "Huh?"
"Fuck off," Pierre said impatiently.
The man trembled. He left the ward immediately after uttering, "Yes, sir."
Then, the mother and son were left inside the ward alone.
Only then did Pierre answer Karen's question, "Your incident has made Grandpa turn his back on us.Without his support, I'll lose Mallory Corporation. The company is going to be doomed. If I continueignoring my company, how will I make a living?"
Karen was speechless.
She wanted to say that it was not her fault. Pierre had done so many illegal things with this company.How could he blame it on her?
However, Karen did not say a word as she did not want to anger him.
"Pierre, when Grandpa was dealing with your matters, he helped with the company as well. It's not aschaotic as it was before, so you should just focus on your recovery. The company will be fine on itsown," Karen said as gently as possible to calm Pierre down.
"Hmph. I don't have much money left. If the company isn't making me any profit, no one is going to helpme with my debt."
Karen wanted to say that she could help him, but she realized that she was not in a position to help.
If she was kicked out of the Mallory family, the Ruiz family would not take her back either. She still hadto have some money on her.
Pierre was Old Master Mallory's grandson. Even if she were kicked out, Old Master Mallory would notleave him stranded.
Karen said, “Fine. It's good to see you work hard. Your grandpa will be happy to see you like this. Justdon't do the things you did before. If you do a good job, your grandpa will trust you again."
The most important thing right now was to restore Old Master Mallory's trust in Pierre.
Karen realized that she had lost her power after she was forced to move out of the manor. AlthoughDaryl had been staying abroad with that woman the entire time, she believed that they were keeping aneye on the Mallory family.
Percy upset Old Master Mallory by marrying Nina, and Pierre upset Old Master Mallory by causing thismess. This was the perfect chance for that foreign woman to take her place.
She could never allow such a thing to happen!
