"If you don't like him, why won't you let him go? Didn't I give you a sum of money? You don't want it anymore? Or... do you think it's too little? That sounds about right. A woman like you would only approach my son to get to me. Tell me, how much do you want this time?" Madam Mallory despised Nina. She took out the checkbook from her handbag and was about to write Nina a check.

"I don't need money. I didn't need it before, I don't need it now, and I won't need it in the future." Nina held Percy's hand tightly. She initially planned to stand aside and let him solve the matter on his own. However, she could not keep quiet any longer.

Since she loved him, she was willing to share weal and woe with him. They would get through hardships together. That was what true love was.

She would never back down because she was afraid.

"What do you want?!" Madam Mallory was fuming from what she said and threw the checkbook on the sofa.

"I didn't know how I felt before, so I told you that I had no interest in Percy nor did I like him. However, Pierre, your youngest son, made me acknowledge my true feelings," Nina said as she looked back at Pierre.

His face was ashen. She was unsure if it was because of his health or because he was angry with what she said. He looked like he was going to get out of bed and strangle her to death.

Nina did not know that with Pierre's temperament, he would have most certainly gotten out of bed in an instant. However, he was still half-lying on the bed.

Could it be that Luca hurt him so badly that he could not even move?

Nina admired Luca in her heart. At the same time, she was worried that he would pick on Luca once he got better.
