When the man was waiting by the car for Karen to come out earlier, he saw Nina hastily enter the house.

Later, the cleaning lady came out, leaving only Karen and Nina in the villa.

Karen looked like she was out to get Nina.

However, no matter how he looked at it, Nina was Percy's wife. Making a move against Percy's wife was beyond the man's courage.

Even though Karen was the one paying his salary, if Percy decided to take revenge, he could not possibly target Karen. Percy's retaliation would undoubtedly fall on him.

With these thoughts in mind, he dragged his feet even more, clearly reluctant.

Sensing his slow footsteps, Karen turned around and glared at him. "Why are you walking so slowly?"

"It's nothing.” The man quickened his pace, intending to assess the situation.

Karen led the man to the bedroom door where Nina had just entered. The door was closed. She instructed the man beside her, "You, kick the door open."

The man had strong legs, and a few kicks could easily break the door down. However, he hesitated when he thought that Nina might be inside.

Nina was a woman easy to bully, but the man behind her was not someone he could mess with...

"What are you waiting for? Kick the door!" Karen seemed to know what he was thinking and commanded more forcefully.

The man was afraid, but he could not ignore Karen's words. Hence, he kicked the bedroom door.

The door made a sound but did not budge.

Karen widened her eyes, suspecting the man had not exerted enough force. "Did you forget to eat today?"

The man frowned and shook his head, "No, Madam Mallory. It's just too sturdy."
