Chapter 499

When Luke brought Nina to the hospital ward, she still had faint streaks of tears on her face. It seemed as though she had suffered a huge fright.

Bianca was instantly furious when she saw Nina's expression.

She grabbed Nina's elbow and examined her from head to toe. "Did Percy bully you? How could that scoundrel..." She did not hide the anger in her voice.

Then, she looked at Luke with an accusatory gaze, as though blaming him for not protecting her friend.

"He didn't. Percy only pulled a prank on her. He did not do her any harm." Luke spread his arms and looked helplessly at Bianca. He did not sound like he was lying.

He was friends with Percy Mallory for many years, and he understood Percy's distant and frigid character.

Percy might be ruthless, but he had no interest in women. Violating a woman was something that he would never do.

After all, with his looks and wealth, countless women tried to court him.

If he were not interested in a woman, he would not hesitate to throw them out, even if they took off all their clothes and climbed onto his bed.

Indeed, Luke did not lie to Bianca.

He remembered that there was a beautiful woman from a wealthy family who had admired Percy for many years. One night, she sneaked her way onto his bed, but before she could touch him, he sent her flying with a kick.

Not only did the woman break half of her ribs, but Percy also bankrupted her family business in a fit of rage.

That made the woman the subject of ridicule in upper society, and also caused Percy's admirers to put an end to having any impure thoughts about the man.

If he could injure a woman in his anger, being his wife would be nothing but suffering.
