Female Novel
Chapter 1793
Pierre kept silent for a moment and chose to believe her.
All along, Madam Mallory had cared more for him than Percy. However, their grandfather, Old MasterMallory, had always favored Percy. He knew that the only one who could help him was his mother.
He told her everything he did.
After Madam Mallory heard everything, she shook her head and shouted, "Pierre, how could you dosuch a thing?!"
"If I'm not lying here now, I could have done more and they still wouldn't have found anything." Pierregritted his teeth. He thought of Luca and did not expect that she could be so terrifying.
With only her bare hands, she hurt him so badly that all he could do was lie here. Even the doctor couldnot figure out what was wrong.
He had no direct evidence, so not only could the police not help him but even the doctors and nurses inthe hospital thought that he was addicted to painkillers...
"They won't be able to verify the document in a day and a half. Have you ever thought about theconsequences and the kind of situation that you're putting the Mallory family in?!" Madam Mallory didnot expect him to do such absurd things behind the scenes. She could not help but scold him a little.
It seemed that she had pampered him too much. Otherwise, how could he do such a ridiculous thingwhen he had a good business in his hands?
Pierre stayed silent. He was careless for underestimating Percy's and his friends' capabilities.
Madam Mallory could not bear for him to be bollocked by the family. She said, "Okay, I'll help you dealwith this. Focus on taking good care of yourself. When you recover, there'll be a lot for you to attend
to."
Pierre nodded. Percy had brought Nina over and laid it all out on the table.
As long as he could handle the matter well, the Mallory family would be his moving forward.
However, he wanted more than that. He not only wanted to rule the Mallory family, but he also wantedNina.
He lay down, his hands clenched into fists when he thought of Nina's face.
'She thinks that she'll be happy with Percy? It's not so easy to be happy. I'll never allow her to stay withPercy!'
On the other hand.
After Cecilia left Pierre's ward, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was off.She walked to the nurse's station and wanted to ask about Pierre's condition, but she overheard thenurse discussing how Pierre might be dependent on painkillers.
Her expression changed, and she left quickly.
Doctors and nurses would not discuss the patient's privacy at will, so she had to confirm whether whatthey said was true. If it was, she would break off their engagement.novelbin
Cecilia was selfish. She had no plans to be by Pierre's side through thick and thin.
...
On the other hand, when Luca was done with work, it was already evening.
She conducted a series of studies in the lab throughout the day.
With her help, there was a breakthrough in the research.
Luca said to Dr. Albus, "This is all I can do to help. I'll have my hands full for the months to come. If youhave any questions, you can drop me a text. I'll reply to you when I'm able to but maybe not right away."
Dr. Albus had heard about her holding several jobs in T Corporation. He said gratefully, "Dr. Craw,thank you for your help. I can finally breathe easy."
He had been stuck for a while, so he had not rested for several days.
Luca smiled and replied, "You're welcome. I still have something to attend to. I have to make a move."
"Oh, is that so? I wanted to buy you dinner." Dr. Albus thought that it was a pity. After all, she was ofgreat help, so it was normal for him to want to buy her dinner.
"Don't worry about it. I have something to do. Please swipe your access card for me, else I won't beable to get out," Luca said. When she came, she found that the security facilities had been perfected.
Abel had given her the chance to learn about the security system, but it was also because he wantedher to know that it was difficult to extract any internal information from here.
Since she did not work there and did not have an access card, she could not get in.
Hearing that, Dr. Albus immediately swiped his card and said, "Dr. Craw, I'll ask Ms. Stone to send youyour access card some other day."
"I have an access card?" Luca was stunned. She no longer worked in the building and was surprisedas to why she was entitled to an access card.
"Yeah, you signed a contract with Watson Biopharmaceuticals. You were originally an employee ofWatson Biopharmaceuticals, so why wouldn't you get an access card? Although you're not doingresearch here, when your research is launched to the market and you're done with your work in TCorporation, you have to come back. It makes sense to prepare an access card for you." Dr. Albuswalked her out of the office.
The company's security measures were done well. Since Luca did not have an access card, she couldnot enter the elevators nor leave the company.
Luca walked into the elevator and lowered her eyes slightly. After Dr. Cole's scheme was revealed,although he was not fired, he was no longer the head of the department.
Although Luke had not appointed the head of the department even after some time, everyone hastacitly agreed that it was going to be Dr. Albus.
Aside from Dr. Cole, Dr. Albus was the most senior employee in the entire company. He was well-known in the industry.
Therefore, he could indeed arrange an access card for her.
Luca thought that he took the initiative to offer her an access card because she was an employee ofWatson Biopharmaceuticals, or perhaps it was also because he was from the Island of Despair, so hewanted to make it easier for her to execute the next step in her plans?
"Dr. Craw?" Dr. Albus called out to her seeing that she kept quiet.
Luca looked up and smiled. "It's nothing. I'll just come here to get the access card when it's ready."
"That works as long as you don't mind the trouble." Dr. Albus had no objection.
With the help of Dr. Albus, Luca arrived at the entrance of Watson Biopharmaceuticals. She watchedDr. Albus swipe the door with another card, and the door slowly opened.
She walked out of the office, said goodbye to Dr. Albus, and prepared to head back to the villa.
She walked slowly toward the taxi stand as the kids were all having dinner with Old Master Crawford atCrawford Manor today.
Her phone rang.
Luca glanced at it and found that Nina was calling.
She answered, "Nina, have you been discharged from the hospital?"
Nina's tone was pleasant as she said, "Of course. I was discharged this morning."
"Sorry, I've been occupied the entire day so I didn't have the time to go pick you up, but..." Luca heardthe joy in her tone and presumed that it had something to do with Percy.
She recalled that Nina's tone was always unhappy because she did not want to stay by Percy's sideand also because of the miscarriage. However, her tone had changed since she realized her feelingsfor Percy.
Luca was relieved when she thought of that.
Nina wondered. "But what?"
"I guessed that Mr. Mallory would be by your side the entire time, so I didn't want to be a third-wheel,"Luca said, teasing her.
