Female Novel
Chapter 1733
"Nina's not here?" Percy squinted and looked behind the door to confirm whether Nina was really nothere or if she was just avoiding him. He wondered if Nina had gotten Jean to lie on her behalf becauseshe did not want to see him.
He thought about it for a few seconds and felt that it was impossible.
Jean was the kind of man who wanted to make a fortune off his sister. He would never help her to hide.If Nina was here, Jean would offer her to him with both hands.
"She's not here, Mr. Mallory. Nina has been living with you for the past few years and now looks downon our old house. How can she be here?" Jean said innocently. He spread out his hands to indicatethat she was not there.
He used these subtle movements to hide his panic.
He thought that Pierre would just be having a chat with Nina. He did not expect him to be hiding her.
A promiscuous woman came to the door and held Jean's hand, "Darling, who is it?"
"A friend," Jean explained cheerfully. He wanted to pull out his hand but the woman held it tightly.
Percy glanced at the provocative woman, frowned, and said, "If Nina comes back, call me."
"Okay, Mr. Mallory." Jean was secretly relieved when he saw that Percy did not push further.
Between the two Mallory brothers, one of their auras could make someone breathless without lifting afinger while the other was barbaric in his ways.
It was best not to piss off either of them.
As it happened, the two brothers were fighting for Nina. Jean could not do anything about it.
The woman watched Percy leave, her face unable to contain her excitement. "Honey, is that the CEOof Mallory Corporation? I've seen him on the news. You know such a powerful person?"
"Didn't I tell you? It's just that you didn't believe me before this. I not only know Percy but Pierre as well.The two brothers are deeply in love with my sister. Do you believe me now?" Jean said cheerfully. Hewas pleased that he had won himself some brownie points in front of the woman.
"I believe you, dear. You're so high-toned." The woman looked at him adoringly.
"It's just... she has to choose one of the two. Why can't my sister take both men into her arms?" Jeansaid. If the two agreed to share, he would not have such a headache.
"I think Percy Mallory is a good choice. He's the CEO of Mallory Corporation," the woman said toherself.
"However, Mr. Pierre is more generous to me, his future brother-in-law." Jean disagreed. He was happyto side with whoever gave him the most money.
He closed the door with his arms around the woman. The matter of Nina's disappearance was setaside.
In Jean's mind, Pierre loved Nina, so she would not be in danger. At most, she would just physicallysuffer a little if she did not obey him.
If she went with Pierre's every command obediently, she would not suffer and would be the happiestwoman in the world.
At least, that was what Jean thought. He was not at all worried or guilty.
Percy got back into the car and texted Luke: [She didn't go back to Anna's apartment. I'm going to lookinto Nina's schedule yesterday.]
After a while, Luke replied: [Arrange it immediately.]
After Luca cleared the table, she heard Luke's cell phone ring. "Did Mr. Mallory text you? Did he findNina?"
She tried to call Nina just now but her phone was switched off.
"He hasn't found her," Luke said and frowned slightly. He was instructing Rain and Gale to investigateNina's movements from the day prior.
He asked them to find out both Nina and Pierre's schedules.
It was highly possible that Nina was under Pierre's control now.
Luca saw that he was busy on his phone and knew that he was occupied trying to find Nina, so she didnot make a sound.
After Luke gave the orders, he put away his phone and said, "It's getting late. I'll give you a ride to theoffice."
"Okay," Luca nodded and agreed because she was worried about Nina.
If there were any updates about Nina, she would find out as soon as possible with Luke by her side.Even if she did not go to work, she could not do anything about the current situation.
If Nina was with Pierre, it may be fruitless even if she went to look for Pierre.
After all, with what happened prior, Pierre had learned his lesson and would not be so stupid to letothers find out where he was hiding Nina.
Luca followed Luke's car to work. His phone did not ring throughout the journey.
She pursed her lips as she knew that it was not an easy matter to deal with. There would not be anyupdates any time soon, but she could not help but get worried since there was no news at all.
When they arrived at the company's parking lot, there was still no news.
Luca did not want to ask questions, so she got out of the car in an uneasy mood.
Luke could sense her worries and melancholy, so he promised her. "If there's any news, I'll notify youas soon as possible."
Luca was stunned. She did not expect him to make such a promise to her. She nodded and saidgratefully, "Thank you, Mr. Crawford."
"You're welcome." Luke's gaze was deep. "Nina is your friend and also my wife's friend."
Luca was filled with emotions when she heard what he said. She kept quiet.
On the other hand.
Nina woke up and immediately noticed that she was lying on a big soft bed. For some reason, she feltsore all over her body.
She was wary when she was reminded of Pierre. 'Could it be that Pierre has such a unique taste thathe was willing to make a move on me even though I'm on my period?'
She dared to meet him last night because she was on her period and thought that Pierre would not beinterested.
When she thought that she might have been assaulted by Pierre, Nina sat up shaking and noticed thather clothes had been changed.
A woman wearing maid clothes opened the door, walked in, and said with a smile on her face, "Goodmorning, Ms. Nina."
"Who are you? Where am I?" Nina looked around. The interior was luxurious. She looked at the personin front of her.
"This is Mr. Pierre's house. I'm the maid and housekeeper here. Moving forward, I'll be responsible foryour day-to-day life here," the maid explained.
When Nina heard that Pierre was trying to lock her up here, she frowned and asked, "Where's Pierre?Ask him to come!"
"Mr. Pierre left after he sent you here yesterday. This house is in the suburbs, so Mr. Pierre doesn'tusually stay here," the maid explained. She was not curious about Nina's identity.
After all, Pierre had brought many women here before. The women all came and went.
This was where Pierre hid his women.
Nina blinked when she heard what he said. "He left yesterday? My clothes..."novelbin
"I changed them for you. Mr. Pierre said you fainted last night because you were sick. You happen tobe your period, so he told me to change you into a set of clean clothes," the maid replied with a smile.
