"Old Master Mallory, please don't blame yourself. After all, Madam Mallory blessed the Mallory family with two outstanding heirs." Mr. Bennet knew that going on like this would make the old master all gloomy and miserable, so he tried to console him.

As the years piled on, it would be best to see things clearly and not overthink. There was no need to dwell on every little thing.

Old Master Mallory shook his head in response to Mr. Bennet's words.

"What kind of outstanding heirs are we talking about here? One of them is rebellious and picked the wrong woman to be his wife. The other one, well, let's not talk about him. If he wasn't in the Mallory family, the stuff he pulled would've landed him in hot water ages ago."

Mr. Bennet, wanting to say some comforting words, found himself unable to.

Percy and Nina were indeed not a good match, but Mr. Bennet did not see it as a significant problem.

What was the big deal as long as Nina truly loved Percy?

The Mallory family no longer needed arranged marriages to strengthen the family. With Percy around, they could maintain their current position and even rise higher.

If Percy was capable, why could he not choose the wife he wanted?

A good daughter-in-law, according to the Mallory family's standards, might not actually be good—just like Karen.

She was still stirring up so much trouble for the Mallory family at this age.

As an outsider, Mr. Bennet understood this, but he could not express these thoughts in front of Old Master Mallory. He knew that he would face a reprimand.

"Old Master Mallory, would you like to go to the hospital now?" asked Mr. Bennet. If the old master needed to go to the hospital, he would have the chauffeur prepare the car.

"No," replied Old Master Mallory as he rose to his feet. He leaned on his cane. He was worn out after dealing with Pierre's affairs for so long. While he was dealing with his grandson's matters, he could not help but wonder how Pierre could be such a troublemaker.

That was why he had no intention of visiting the hospital now.

After all, the hospital would not do anything to Pierre. The old master had already done enough by getting Percy out.

"Help me back to my bedroom," said Old Master Mallory. His voice sounded weathered and worn.
