Nina held her arms and shook her head.

The TV in the VIP room was turned on. The TV was broadcasting the news that the Johnston family had made bad investments and lost a lot of money.

Whenever they mentioned the Johnston family, they would definitely mention the Mallory family too. Nina's expression changed when she was watching the news about the union between the Johnston family and the Mallory family through marriage. She changed the TV channel without listening to what the news was broadcasting.

Luca watched everything she did. She picked up the business magazine in front of her. It was today's issue, and it reported about the Johnston family's matter. It even analyzed the current situation of the Mallory family. She handed the magazine to Nina.

Nina took it from her. She closed the magazine when she saw the words 'Mallory family.' "What's so great about it?"

Luca looked at Nina, who ignored every piece of news that was related to Percy. She asked curiously, “Nina, you came out today to avoid Percy, right?”

Nina put the magazine on the coffee table and looked at her helplessly.

"You can't avoid some people forever. I heard that the reason why the Johnston family made bad investments was that someone plotted against them behind their backs. Nina, who do you think set the Johnston family up?" Luca asked. She was smart, so she knew what Luca meant.

Nina shook her head, pretending to be confused. "I'm just an ordinary person. How can I possibly know so much about this?"

The shop assistant served two cups of coffee. After Luca took one and thanked her, she stirred her cup of coffee slowly. She did not continue to talk to Nina.

The sudden silence made Nina feel uneasy. She stirred her coffee as well and waited for Luca's reply.

However, Luca never spoke.

In the end, Nina could no longer stand it and asked, "Umm, what's this all about?"

"I'm also just an ordinary person," Luca repeated the same thing Nina said to her. She took a sip of the bitter-tasting coffee and looked at Nina.

Nina felt uncomfortable and was struck dumb at Luca's response. She tucked her loose hair behind her ears and blinked her eyes. "But you're much better than me."

Luca smiled and said, "No, I just listen more. If you'd like to know more about some matters, it's best to ask the party involved. Give him a chance to make things clear. By doing so, you're also giving yourself another chance. Nina, running away is not an option. Even though he's giving you the chance to escape now, you can't run away from him forever.”
