Female Novel
Chapter 2350
Before this, 500 dollars meant a lot to Anna, but it did not seem much when she had 2.5 million in frontof her.
Anna said indifferently, “Just take it. The CEO of Mallory Corporation taking 500 dollars... Howridiculous..."
Percy's eyes darkened. He turned to look at Nina and asked, "Is her public services card with you?"
"Yes," replied Nina. Just in case the hospital wanted her to pay for medical expenses, Nina brought thepublic services card with her wherever she went.
"Return the card to her. You have nothing to do with her no matter what happens to her in the future,"said Percy.
Nina pursed her lips. She took the public services card out of her purse and placed it on Jean's bedinstead of handing it to Anna.
Anna only cared about the money now. The public services card was nothing to her. The bags ofmoney she held in her arms were the most important thing.
Nina could see how happy Anna was with the smile on her face. It seemed like she was not upsetabout losing her daughter.
Nina held Percy's hand and said, "Let's go."
"Okay." Percy and the others left together.
The door was closed.
After they entered the elevator, Mr. Zac asked, "Mr. Mallory, you know that there's no such thing aslegally cutting off ties with family in our country. Even if they've signed the contract, it's not going to belegally accepted."
"I know. That's why I asked you to add so many terms on it," replied Percy.
Mr. Zac finally understood why Percy did that after he was reminded of it.
Brilliant. What Percy did was brilliant.
"What terms?" Nina asked with curiosity. She knew Percy would not harm her. That was why she didnot read the terms.
"When Mr. Mallory asked me to draft the contract, he asked me to add that the two and half a million isfor you. Ahem, it's Ms. Anna's arrears. If Ms. Anna and her son continue to pester you, you have theright to take the money back. At the same time, Ms. Anna will have to pay a 20 percent interest rate. If
the other party is unable to pay the money, Mr. Mallory has the right to freeze the fixed assets undertheir name. Then, he's allowed to hold an auction to get the money back," explained Mr. Zac.
The so-called contract of cutting off ties between them was actually a loan agreement.
However, no date was stated on the contract when Anna should return the money. She was only givena precondition.
They did not have to return the money as long as they stopped pestering Nina.
Luca and Nina finally understood. Nina turned to look at Percy and asked, “How did you know shewasn't going to take a close look at the contract?"
Anna would not have agreed if she read the details of the contract.
"She wouldn't read it. She'd only want to see what she wanted to. Now that both contracts are in myhands, she wouldn't even notice anything," said Percy.
Luca could not help but mumble to herself when she heard that. Anna was right about one thing—Percy was a businessman.
A businessman was never easy to fool. Instead, he could play tricks on others.
However, if Anna did not come looking for Nina, nothing would happen to her.
"You know her well..." Nina's eyes turned gloomy, and she asked again, "But she asked for two million.Why did you give her 2.5 million dollars?"
"That way, she wouldn't even be bothered to look at the contract," said Percy.
Anna was blinded by the extra 500,000 dollars, which made Percy's plan easier to succeed.
"Mr. Mallory, you're pretty good at dealing with people like these," Luca had remained silent all thistime. She could no longer hold it back and began to speak.
What Anna did was foolish.
She had fallen into Percy's trap.
The corner of Nina's lips was curling up. She could not help but laugh.
Percy said calmly, "Luke taught me that. He's better at this."
Luca raised her brows. Would Luke insult someone in that way? She did not think so. Luke would makea move immediately if he was dealing with someone else. He would not come up with these tricks.
The elevator doors opened. Mr. Zac walked out of the elevator and said, "Mr. Mallory, I'm going back tothe law firm if there's nothing more."
"Sure. You have to keep this a secret. My assistant will transfer the payment to you later," repliedPercy. "Okay. I'll follow my professional ethics," Mr. Zac smiled and left.
After Mr. Zac left, the assistant left too. He did not come here together with Percy using the car. Thatwas why they would not be leaving together.
Luca said, "I'm leaving too."
"Nina, let Percy give you a ride," said Nina while turning around to look at her.
"It's okay. Warren is waiting here. I'm going back to the office," said Luca. She walked toward theparking slot where Warren had parked the car.
Nina and Percy headed to the car. After both of them got into the car, Nina fastened her seatbelt andsaid, "Don't start the engine first. I'd like to talk to you." “You want to talk about the money, right? That'syour dowry. You're destined to be my wife in this life,” replied Percy.
"Percy..." Nina did not expect he would say that. 2.5 million of dowry was too much...novelbin
Although many of the wealthy people in A City would pay more than 10 million for their wife's dowry,they were marrying someone of equal status.
Nina knew Percy was way out of her league. How could she deserve such a big dowry?
"You must be thinking that you aren't worth that much, right? I don't think it's enough. The amount ofdowry is based on how much someone means to you. You're a priceless treasure to me," said Percy.
Nina let out a snort of laughter and replied, "When did you learn to sweet talk?"
"It's the truth, and I mean it. Sincerity isn't sweet talk," Percy held her hands and leaned closer to herlips. He kissed her gently on the lips. He just could not bear to see Nina being wronged.
That was why he agreed with what Anna said, and he played a trick on her too.
After all, the country did not acknowledge cutting off ties with family.
Nina could feel Percy's tenderness. Who would have thought that Percy, who was always cold and coolto the others, would have such a gentle side? She suddenly thought of making fun of him, and shesaid, "But.."
"But?" Percy caught a trace of playfulness flashing across her eyes.
"You told me my dowry is 2.5 million, but who would call their future wife an idiot?" Nina deliberatelypulled a long face.
"It's not 2.5 million. I took back 500 dollars," Percy squabbled. It only took a while for him to shut herup.
He would not easily fall into her trap.
"You took that money back on purpose, huh? You were afraid that I'd say something like this." Nina wasamused.
"No. I noticed that she was carefully holding the bags of money in her arms as though she was holdingher baby. That's why I took the money from her. Jean owes me, after all," replied Percy.
"They owe you more than 500 dollars now." Nina sighed. If Anna did not spend the moneyextravagantly and got Jean under control at the same time, 2.5 million was enough for them to live acomfortable life.
If they knew about financial planning and investments, the interest they would earn from the moneymonthly would be enough for them to survive.
