If the old master did not take the sleeping pills, he would probably have a sleepless night.

Old Master Mallory took the cup of tea that was handed to him. He took a sip of it. Right now, he lacked the appetite to enjoy even the finest tea.

"Now, which hospital is Pierre in?" asked Old Master Mallory. After learning of the tip-off yesterday, even though he did not do much, he had people keep a close watch on the matter throughout.

Now, his men were keeping a vigilant eye on Pierre's and the police department's every move.

"He's at Central Hospital now," replied Mr. Bennet. He took the tea cup handed by Old Master Mallory, which he only took a few sips from. Most of the tea was still there.

What a waste of such good tea.

"What about Karen?" Old Master Mallory asked again, knowing that Karen did not come back yesterday.

Mr. Bennet hesitated for a moment, knowing that the old master was furious since he called Karen by her name. Karen did not listen to his advice. She kept going to the hospital every day, telling him that she wanted to visit Pierre. Last night...

"Madam was quickly escorted away by Master Percy without alerting the police or the reporters," answered Mr. Bennet. He added, "By the way, Madam is at Master Percy’s house now."

Old Master Mallory frowned. Karen was at Percy's house?

It seemed like she did not dare to come back because she knew she would be subjected to criticism. His wrinkled face wore a tense expression, showing his disapproval of Karen's actions.

It was strange how his usually smart and capable daughter-in-law had turned into such a woman.

Old Master Mallory no longer cared about Karen. The top priority remained Pierre's matter. "Have you contacted Ms. Cullen?"

"We've already called her. Ms. Cullen said she'll come to visit you today," answered Mr. Bennet. Old Master Mallory wanted Shandra to handle Pierre's affairs.

Initially, he intended to hire Walter, but he declined the job that day. He cited that he had important matters to attend to.

Since the Mallory family could not force him, they turned to Shandra instead.
