"That's your own problem. My only obligation is to take care of Mom, not you." Nina hung up the phone and told him firmly that it was impossible for him to try to get money from her.

Jean gripped the phone in his hands tightly with murderous eyes as he listened to the busy tone on the other end of the call.

With his stomach in constant pain, he had no other choice but to call Pierre.

After the phone rang six times, Pierre's tirade could be heard. "What's the matter with you? Why are you calling so early?"

Jean recoiled and apologized in a hurry. "I'm sorry, Mr. Pierre, but I have a favor to ask you."

"If you have something to say, spit it out." Pierre was impatient. If he were not Nina's brother, he would not even go close to people like him.

"Uhh. All my money got stolen. Can you lend me some temporarily?" Jean bit the bullet and asked him for money, hoping that he would help him solve this urgent matter for the sake of Nina.

"It's none of my f*cking business if your money got stolen. Was the thousands of dollars I gave you yesterday not enough?" After asking him, Pierre hung up the phone right away without waiting for him to answer.

He did not even give Jean time to explain.

Jean frowned upon hearing the busy tone, and he put the phone aside dispiritedly.

He never would have thought that Marie would be able to humiliate him to this extent.

There was not an ounce of mercy left in Jean. Since Marie ran away after stealing his money, he had to find her. However, the brothers he met on the streets were not very reliable, and they charged too much.

Hence, it was better for him to get help elsewhere, but not from the police.

Jean had a candidate in mind, so he picked his phone up to make a call.

"Who is this?" Percy's cold voice rang from the other end of the phone.

"Mr. Mallory, it's me, Jean. There's something I'd like to talk to you about," said Jean. He knew that Percy would not easily forgive the person who sold Nina's information to the reporters, so he wanted to use Percy as a means of finding Marie.
