Her 20 years of hard work should not be undermined by that mistress at a time like this.

Old Master Mallory noticed a change in Karen's expression in that instant and knew what he said had an effect.

He turned to look at Mr. Bennet and asked, "How's the food coming along?"

Mr. Bennet slightly bowed and replied in a low voice, "Sir, I'll go check on it now."

Then, he turned around and headed to the kitchen.

Karen shifted her eyes and pondered for a moment. Then, she said, "Father, I’ll listen to whatever you say about Pierre's matter. He's your grandson, after all. You wouldn't want to see him get into trouble. But when it comes to that woman, I won't listen to you."

Old Master Mallory shot her a glance.

Karen continued, "I don't care if you've changed your mind or what the purpose of this meal is. I won't agree to their marriage even if Percy has already registered their marriage. I won't acknowledge her as my daughter-in-law."

Old Master Mallory remained silent.

Karen looked at the coldness in his eyes, unable to figure out why Old Master Mallory had invited Nina to dinner.

Having stated her position, she had nothing more to say. She sat there and continued to eat the grapes.

Mr. Bennet approached and said, "Sir, the chef has prepared the meal."

"Good." Old Master Mallory glanced at the antique wall clock. Normally, the Mallory family would be preparing to have their meal at this time, but Percy had not arrived yet. Hence, he sat there and waited.

Mr. Bennet also noticed the time. He thought to himself, ‘Could it be that Master Percy won't be coming...'

He frowned. He thought that it would be foolish of Percy not to come. It was a great opportunity to repair the relationship between the grandfather and grandson.

If Percy did not come, could it mean that he had no intentions of mending his relationship with Old Master Mallory?
