"Okay, got it. How did they know Nina was here?" Luca's expression was stern. It seemed that the Mallory family was dead serious about wanting Nina to leave Percy.

However, how was Nina at fault?

She did not cause the misfortune that came upon her blood family nor did she have an option.

Pierre was the one who caused all of Nina's recent suffering. She was the victim!

Nina sighed when she saw Luca's sour expression. "It should be Joanne... They came for me. I'm sorry for putting you in such a difficult position, Luca. I'll go out."

"No, you stay here." Luca wanted to make a call but realized that her phone was not there. She then remembered that she left it in the bedroom.

She said to Aunt Neile, "Aunt Neile, I'm going to make a call. In the meantime, please open the door for the Mallory family and have Lanie and the others go upstairs. I don't want the Mallory family to scare them."

"Okay, I'll do it right now." Aunt Neile nodded and was about to leave the bedroom.

"Another thing, Aunt Neile, please entertain them downstairs. You'll have to leave work a little later than usual today," Luca said.

Aunt Neile replied, "Okay, no problem."

After Aunt Neile left, Luca looked at Nina and said, "You haven't done anything wrong, so you have nothing to apologize for. I'll go meet them, and you can wait here. Don't come down if you don't hear anything from me."

"The Mallory family is very..." Nina hesitated to continue speaking. "Luca, I can't let you face them alone. I'll do it. You're innocent."

"Don't worry. I'll give a call to Mr. Crawford before I head down." After Luca finished speaking, she walked out of the bedroom and closed the door. She then went to her bedroom to grab her phone. She felt uncomfortable when she thought of how they had not been in contact for nearly two days. At that moment, she had no choice but to take the initiative to talk to him.
