From afar, Madam Mallory was infuriated by the sight she saw. She gripped the silk table cloth as she tried to suppress her emotions.

She thought that Percy was lying.

She was so sure that Nina's attendance today was Percy's doing.

Yet Old Master Crawford's behavior made it clear that she had assumed wrongly.

Today was an important event, and countless people were trying to find a chance to talk to Old Master Crawford. Still, the old man did not even smile at most of them. Instead, he opted to respond superficially and leave Luke to entertain them.

Even so, he was smiling at Nina now.

Percy naturally deduced what his mother was feeling and said calmly, “So, now do you believe that I say is the truth?"

"Even if Old Master Crawford admits her as his god-granddaughter, your grandfather still won't ever allow your relationship." Madam Mallory wore a slightly wretched expression on her face.

Percy replied calmly, "I don't need anyone's allowance. This is my marriage. I'll choose who I marry myself. Force me again and what happened to the Johnston family will happen again."

Percy reminded Madam Mallory of what he had done before.

The once powerful Johnston family was now in shambles, unable to even sustain the business of one company under their name. Madison had also gone crazy after what he did.

Percy's actions had caused Madam Mallory to be the target of discussion and commentary. People believed that she suggested a marriage union with the Johnston family just to slowly acquire all the Johnston's assets.

As such, no one else agreed to marry their daughters to Pierre.

Madam Mallory's expression soured greatly.

With Pierre's support, Old Master Mallory returned to his seat.
