Luca listened to Luke's simple explanation, but she had a feeling that things were not as simple as they seemed.

A ten percent drop in the stock price... The wealth of Johnston Corporation had disappeared into thin air after a second in the market.

Percy must have something to do with this. After all, he was not an obedient person. However, he obeyed the Mallory family's elders to be together with the daughter of the Johnston family. He must be up to something.

Luca had a suspicion that Johnston Corporation's share prices would not only drop by ten percent. They would probably continue to fall today and tomorrow.

"What's on your mind?" Luke looked at how serious Luca was and deliberately interrupted her by asking a question.

Luca snapped back to her senses and said, “If the Johnston family gets into trouble, will the Mallory family sever their ties with them immediately?”

"The marriage of convenience between the Mallory and Johnston families is for the sake of their benefits. Besides, Percy isn't married to that woman yet. If the Johnston family can't survive through the crisis, the relationship between the two families will certainly come to an end," answered Luke. This was Percy's goal.

"If they end the relationship, won't there be rumors flying all around?" Luca was not worried about Percy. Instead, she was worried about Nina.

Once Percy got rid of the Johnston family, he would probably go back to pursue Nina. There were already bad rumors about Nina spreading around back then. If Percy really went to look for Nina after this, then many others would be prejudiced against Nina and even speak ill of her.

"A marriage of convenience is always like that. The ones who are involved will understand, and they won't talk too much about it," said Luke. He looked at the worried expression on Luca's face and knew she was not worried about the Johnston family's situation but her best friend, Nina.

"Is it? Maybe I don't know much about a marriage of convenience.." Luca said disconsolately. She did not want to know that much about it either. All she wanted was for Nina to be happy.

However, Percy had used such means to get together with Nina. Would she be happy?

Luca did not know, and she was not sure how the future was going to be. No one could predict the future, right?

"Not everyone can interfere with the Johnston family's matter," Luke said. He picked up the napkin and wiped his mouth.
