Female Novel
Chapter 1648
"Do you know me?" Pierre asked.
Jean buttered up to him. "I know who you are. Who wouldn't? You're Young Master Pierre of theMallory family. How could I not know you?"
Pierre snorted and reacted coldly to his flattery. "I don't know you at all."
Jean was a little confused by what he said. 'He doesn't know me? Why did he come to visit, then?'
Pierre continued talking, "If it isn't for Nina, I wouldn't have come to see you."
"Yes, yes." Jean continued to butter up to him.
Pierre said, "I'm interested in your sister. I heard that you were hospitalized, so I came here to visit you.Are you feeling better?"
Jean muttered in his heart as he thought about how Pierre acted.
'He didn't even bother to bring anything. How is he a member of the rich and powerful Mallory family?'
However, since the other party had revealed his identity, Jean did not think too much of it. He said, "I'mdoing much better now. Mr. Mallory, you mentioned that you're interested in my sister?”
"Yeah, any concerns?" Pierre sat on a chair with his legs crossed. He looked arrogant as if hispresence brought honor to the other party.novelbin
"All is well, all is well." Jean did not expect that Nina had such charm. Percy was previously involvedwith her, and now, Pierre was also interested in her.
'Does Pierre not know that Nina was involved with Percy before this? He wants to date his brother'sex... That's so weird.'
However, Jean did not put too much thought into it. After all, everyone had their preferences, and hewas no exception. He nodded and said, "She used up all her luck when she got you to be interested inher. What can I do to help you?"
His flattery was useful on Pierre, who leaned forward slightly and asked, "There's a lot that you canhelp me with. Tell me about what Nina likes."
Since the aggressive approach did not work, Pierre intended to go with a gentler approach with Nina.
He had been paying attention to Nina all these years but he never noticed what Nina liked.
He was confident in himself. He believed that if he knew what Nina liked, it would be a matter of timebefore he would win over her heart.
Jean was stunned.
'Why is he jumping through hoops to get Nina? Percy didn't have to say a word for Nina to get togetherwith him. Pierre is making this interesting...'
When the other party asked, Jean told him about everything that Nina liked.
After all, they used to be close, so he knew some things.
Pierre listened and kept everything in mind.
After Jean finished speaking, he asked boldly, "Mr. Mallory, are you planning to pursue my sister?"
He heard that Pierre had a fiancee, so he was surprised that Pierre was putting in so much effort forNina.
Pierre took the checkbook from his pocket, wrote him a random amount, and signed his name. He toreit and handed it over as he said, "You don't have to worry about me. Just answer whatever I ask you."
Jean took the check, and his eyes lit up when he saw that he got a five-figure check by briefly talkingabout Nina's previous hobbies. "Yes, it is her blessing that you're interested in her."
"She's not responding kindly, though." Pierre's words snapped Jean out of it.
Jean frowned. 'Is he saying that. Nina didn't accept him?'
She left an excellent man like Percy without second thoughts. It was normal for her not to acceptPierre.
"That's because her thinking is abnormal. She's just confused. I'll help you persuade her. She'll comepouncing on you as soon as I talk to her," Jean said.
Pierre nodded and replied, "I don't need you to say much. When I need you to talk to her, I'll let youknow. When I don't need your help, just keep your mouth shut."
"Yes, okay," Jean agreed immediately. He was overjoyed that he would get paid just to say a fewwords.
"Also, don't tell Nina about today. I have work to deal with. I'm going to leave now," Pierre stood up. "I'llsend you off," Jean said as he was about to get out of bed.
Pierre noticed that there was still an IV hooked to him, so he said coldly, "No need."
After that, he left the ward.
The other patients in the ward had eavesdropped on the conversation between the two. After Pierreleft, one of them slowly said, "I remember that Mr. Mallory has a fiancee and he seems to be gettingmarried soon. Why did you still..”
They could not accept that Jean would betray his sister for money.
Jean looked at the check happily and rolled his eyes at them. "What do you know? It's obvious that Mr.Mallory is interested in my sister. Besides, he's not married yet."
That was a fact, but the others were still shocked. "It seems that your sister isn't interested in him.Otherwise, this man wouldn't have come here to ask you about her. Aren't you afraid that she'll getangry at you for sharing so much of her personal information with him?"
"She won't know anything if all of you keep your mouths shut. Besides, Mr. Mallory is a wonderful man.How could my sister not like him? She's just playing hard to get so that she'll get more of what shewants." Jean believed that what he said was the truth. He said as he held the check, "Besides, whodoesn't like money?"
The other patients shook their heads helplessly. They did not understand how he could do such a thing.
Jean said confidently, "Even if I don't tell him about what my sister likes, Mr. Mallory can find out if hewants to. I'm just saving him some trouble. If my sister doesn't like him, she'll never say yes no matterhow hard Mr. Mallory tries to win her over. What are you worrying about?"
The other patients were speechless. They saw how excited Jean was at the opportunity. They finallyunderstood why his sister never came to visit after his operation.
She merely hired a nurse to take care of him.
Jean ignored their opinions and texted Anna O'Reilly. [Mom, we're going to be rich.]
The next day.
The police released a public announcement about the kidnapping case.
Luca watched the news without showing any surprise in her expression.
She knew that Pierre would get off without a hitch.
That was because they had no strong evidence to prove that Pierre was the mastermind behind thekidnapping.
Luca did not react much to it.
After all, in this world, money could settle many things. Rules did not apply to people like Pierre, whobought off the two kidnappers and got them to admit that the whole case was planned and executed bythem.
However, money was not everything.
