Female Novel
Chapter 2957
The mixed-race kids from abroad were only a few years younger than Percy.
That was why when Percy and Pierre were young, Karen often instilled the idea into the two brothersthat the foreign woman and her children were their biggest enemies.
They had to excel so that Old Master Mallory would continue to value them. That way, the foreignwoman and her children would not have a chance to come back and fight for their family property.
Karen believed her brainwashing was effective.
Moreover, Percy would not be willing to let his years of hard work become the dowry for Daryl Malloryand his mistress' children.
Percy stopped his busy work and turned to look at Karen.
Karen said, "Send some of your men out to help me find that man, and I'll handle the rest myself."
If it were not for Old Master Mallory giving her a deadline, she would not have come to look for Percy.
He married that woman, Nina, against her will. Karen initially planned to ignore him in the future.However, she did not expect that Pierre and her matter would force her to swallow her pride and seekPercy's help.
"Alright," Percy agreed without hesitation.
Karen's heart felt slightly relieved. Whether it was something Luke's men did or if it was the work ofsomeone else, she knew Percy would be able to locate the man soon as long as he agreed to help.
The moment Percy agreed to it, he could not help but notice a subtle ease wash over Karen's face.Combined with some information he had picked up from Mr. Bennet, he had a rough idea about the
situation.
"What are you planning to do after you find him?" Percy toyed with the wedding ring on his ring fingeras he asked nonchalantly.
Karen's expression changed.
What did she plan to do after finding that man?
She wished she could tear him to pieces. It was him who ruined her marriage!
Previously, he even tried to deceive her into running away. After that, the Ruiz family taught him alesson by giving him a severe beating. As she had seen that man's true colors, all the affection sheonce held in her heart vanished into thin air.
However, she never expected that he would dare to show up at her doorstep after that!
If she knew that he would dare to do something like this in the future, she would have surely gotten ridof him without giving him a chance to let Daryl know about her past!
During those times, the wealthy and powerful had the final say. If a poor person like him were todisappear, no one would even bother.novelbin
However, in this era, she could not do that. Karen wanted to get rid of that man, but she was also afraidthat she would be caught red-handed.
When Percy asked her the question, her mind was full of methods to get rid of the man, but she couldnot say them outright.
Percy remained quiet without pressing on when he saw her gloomy expression.
He knew that Karen dared not to do anything that went against the law now. He had his men watchingher. Even if she had the courage, his men would not give her the opportunity to do so.
He could not let Karen ruin the Mallory family. That was Percy's only thought.
After a pause, Karen sneered and replied, "What else can I do? I can only pressure him to clear myname in public."
Percy remained silent. There was no emotion shown on his face.
Karen looked at him and said, "I'd like to do something, but without Pierre by my side and without yousupporting me, there's not much I can do. Hurry up and help me find that guy. Your grandpa didn't giveme much time."
After that, Karen did not stay. She rose to her feet, raised her chin arrogantly, and cast a cold glance atthe picture frames on the table. Then, she said, "Putting all this stuff on the table is plain dumb."
Then, she opened the office door and left.
Percy's assistant, who was waiting outside the door and carrying some documents in his hands,happened to overhear what Karen said. He could not help but break into a cold sweat.
Mr. Mallory cared about those picture frames a lot.
Even the cleaning staff knew to be extra careful around them. They could clean anywhere but not hisdesk because of those picture frames he treasured.
No matter how expensive those frames were, the assistant could not understand why Percy cherishedthem so much.
Even though the photos inside were of his wife, pictures could be taken and changed anytime. Hecould not figure out why Percy was so attached to them like that.
The assistant also heard Ms. Tucker say that Karen had touched those picture frames on Percy's desk.Even though she did not damage them, it was the fact that she meddled with them that counted.
The assistant was worried that Percy might find fault with them later because of this.
Karen rolled her eyes at the assistant
The assistant met her disdainful gaze, lowered his head respectfully, and said, "Goodbye, MadamMallory."
Karen gave a cold snort and left immediately.
After he watched Karen walk away, the assistant knocked on the office door and entered while carryingthe documents in his arms. Then, he gently placed the documents on the table. "Mr. Mallory, these arethe documents related to the new bidding project. Please deal with them as soon as possible."
Percy glanced at the documents with a sullen expression and said, "Tell Ms. Tucker not to bring anyoneto my office in the future." "Yes, sir. Actually, Ms. Tucker knows that. It's just that Madam Mallory..." Heintended to speak up for Ms. Tucker. After all, Karen was the madam of the Mallory family. Employeeslike them dared not to stop her.
However, he stopped talking after he met Percy's eyes. Then, he replied, "Yes, sir."
When the boss gave an order, he could only comply and not question it.
"Close the door on your way out," Percy added as he picked up his phone, preparing to call Luke.
The assistant nodded and left in a hurry, closing the office door behind him.
Percy dialed Luke's number.
"I need that man," said Percy.
Luke did not ask for the details. He simply gave him an address.
"Thanks,” replied Percy. After he found out what Luke would be doing, he had an agreement with Lukethat if he ever needed that man to handle a situation, Luke would immediately tell him his whereabouts.
This was a condition Percy proposed in exchange for Luke exposing Karen's past online.
Luke got what he wanted. Hence, when Percy asked where the man was and provided the address ofthe hotel without hesitation.
"Thank you." Percy noted down the address, with no intention of informing Karen right away. Instead,he set a timed message to be sent to her the following day.
As for what Karen would do with the man's address, that was no longer his concern.
He also had no plans to involve himself in clearing the air regarding the situation.
After Luke ended his call with Percy, he called Jason into his office.
"Boss, what can I do for you?" asked Jason.
"Regarding Karen's report, you can put it on hold. Tell the newspaper company to release the rumorsabout the two celebrities consecutively," instructed Luke.
Both of these celebrities were A-list stars. This was his backup plan.
Due to Karen's status, her report could not stay in the spotlight for long. The public's attention wouldsoon shift from Luca and his relationship to the rumors surrounding the two celebrities.
"Got it." Jason noted his instructions.
