Percy breathed out a swirl of cigarette smoke and looked at the pitiful Madison. He did not feel any pity for her, though.

The woman who could make his heart race and break his heart was not the woman in front of him.

Madison listened to his heartless words and said broken-heartedly, “I know you don't like me. You've always been in love with Ms. Nina, right?"

Percy did not answer her.

Madison then said, "If you really want her so badly, why did you agree to our marriage back then? You gave me hope and now you're taking it away. Percy, do you think it's right of you to do that?"

"There's no such thing as to whether it's right of me or not. It was someone else in the Mallory family who agreed to this marriage. It wasn't me." Percy passed the buck and got away squeaky clean.

"So it has always been someone else who made the decisions for you. You've been reluctant the entire time, right?" Madison was in despair. She could barely see hope when she listened to such irresponsible words coming out from this man.

She thought she could convince him to promise that he would help the Johnston family to overcome the crisis by playing the role of a delicate woman. Even if Old Master Mallory refused to help them, Percy was the one in charge of the Mallory Corporation now. As long as he was willing to help, all the difficulties would be resolved.

If he could lend a hand, that would indicate that her father and elder brother had made the wrong guess. It was not Percy who deliberately set them up and let them fall into the trap.

However, now...

Madison felt even more hopeless.

"Yes, indeed," Percy said generously. He had long ago planned to mess up the marriage. Now, he had only yet to make it public. He had no problem admitting it.

When Madison heard him admitting it himself, her tears streamed down. "So that's how it is. It seems like you've been trying hard to cut off our ties, and you even risked putting the Johnston family into hell!"

Percy remained expressionless even when his plan was exposed. He refused to make any explanation and just said, "If the Johnston family had managed their business well, I wouldn't have succeeded no matter what I did. Your brother fell for it only because he can't manage the business well. He was desperate to hand over a perfect business report. Is that my fault?"
