Pierre quickly concealed his feelings, nodded, and replied, "Mom, don't worry. I'll do as I'm told."
Madam Mallory was still worried about it at the thought of Pierre pursuing Nina back then. She thought it would be inappropriate
to mention it directly, so she had no choice but to say, “Pierre, go over to the Chamberlain family’s place to have a meal with their
daughter,” said Madam Mallory. She immediately picked up her phone, thinking of contacting the Chamberlains.
Before the New Year, Madam Mallory intended to arrange a marriage for Pierre. It was to pave the way for Pierre’s future.
"Mom, I'm busy with the shareholder’s meeting." Pierre knew what Madam Mallory had in mind. Although the Chamberlain family
did not have many assets in A City, they were one of the top asset holders in M City.
Besides, Pierre had heard the news that the Chamberlain family was planning to move their assets to A City. After they moved
all their assets here, their social status in A City would grow higher.
Hence, a marriage of convenience with the Chamberlain family was indeed beneficial to him.
However, Pierre did not want to gain more support with his marriage. Percy did not have a woman behind him to support him, so
he would not either.
"It’s just a meal. How long is it going to take? The daughter of the Chamberlain family is prettier than your ex-fiancée. The two of
you only have to have dinner together. It’ll be great if it works out, but if things don’t work out between the two of you, you have
nothing to lose either.” Madam Mallory tried to convince him.
If it were not for Pierre’s ex-fiancée who misunderstood Pierre and asked her family to break off their engagement, she would not
have to worry about Pierre’s marriage now.
Madam Mallory could not help but be on alert at the thought of Pierre trying to pursue Nina.
If Percy separated from Nina in the future, would Pierre...
Madam Mallory could not let this happen. That was why she wanted to settle the matter of Pierre’s marriage before Percy fell
from grace.
"Mom." Pierre knew who the daughter of the Chamberlain family was, but he was not interested in her.
He was not interested in his ex-fiancée either. Still, it was Madam Mallory’s arrangement, and he had to obey.
"Okay. That’s it. Meet her once. Don’t let me worry about you. I’ve informed Mrs. Chamberlain." Madam Mallory persuaded
Pierre. "Your brother has let me down. Pierre, be good and listen to me. It’s better to listen to the elders when it comes to
marriage. I don’t care how playful you usually are, but you have to
listen to me when it's about choosing your wife."
“Fine. Make it tomorrow at noon. She can decide which restaurant to go to. Just inform me when she has reserved the
restaurant." Pierre had no choice but to compromise.
He could not disobey Madam Mallory now.
After all, Pierre could sense that she was still wavering a little between him and Percy. If Pierre refused to listen to her, she might
side with Percy.
“I know all you think about is your career, but please be kind to her when you meet her tomorrow, okay?" Madam Mallory
reminded him.
“Mom, I won't try to please anyone," Pierre replied with a gloomy face. It had always been women who tried to please him. He
had never buttered anyone up.
The only exception was that stupid woman, Nina.
Madam Mallory was worried that Pierre would mess things up. She let out a tsk and said, "I didn't ask you to please her. Just be
more gentlemanly, okay? I'll send Belle's information to you later. Take a good look at it and leave a good impression on her.
Even if things don't work out between you two or the two of you aren't interested in each other, we'll still have the chance to
cooperate with the Chamberlain family in the future."
Madam Mallory had looked into the assets owned by the Chamberlain family in other cities. They could work together with
Mallory Corporation.
In the future, the Chamberlain family could be a partner of the Mallory family.
"Got it," replied Pierre. Even though he did not like the idea of a marriage of convenience, he was not against the arrangements
Madam Mallory had made for him.
Pierre did not want the others to think that it was the Chamberlain's family that helped him get Mallory Corporation!
Pierre left after that.
Madam Mallory discussed with Mrs. Chamberlain the time. After she received Belle's answer, she sent Pierre the time and venue
that Belle had decided.
Then, Madam Mallory sent another file to Pierre. The file had all the information about Belle's family background and her favorite
things. The information was provided by the private detective Madam Mallory hired.
After Madam Mallory saw that the message was successfully sent to Pierre, she opened Belle's information.
The more she read it, the more satisfied she was.
After Percy and Madison broke off their engagement, Madam Mallory initially planned to make him marry Belle Chamberlain.
However, she did not expect Percy to be so rebellious by insisting on being together with Nina.
Madam Mallory felt a pain in her chest at the thought of this. She found it difficult to breathe as she gasped for air.
Belle Chamberlain was a million times better than Nina.
The more Madam Mallory thought about it, the more her heart hurt. She put her phone aside and stopped looking at it.
Belle Chamberlain was an outstanding woman. It upset Madam Mallory at the thought of Percy choosing Nina over Belle.
On the other hand...
Percy saw the message Madam Mallory sent to him. He raised his brows. The venue Belle had decided was near the suburbs.
Why did she choose to go there?
[Mom, are you sure you got it right? The address you gave me is near the suburbs.] Pierre sent Madam Mallory a message.
[It's correct. Mrs. Chamberlain said that Belle has been looking for a building for their company's branch. She happens to be in
that area tomorrow. That's why she set the venue there. You're driving anyway. It's convenient. Just head there.] Madam Mallory
knew Pierre was impatient, so she convinced him.
[It's too far away.] Pierre replied. He was trying to beat the clock and finish reading all the documents of Mallory Corporation now.
Previously, Pierre was the one who managed Mallory Corporation. Pierre did not even think of fighting for it back then. That was
why he missed out on a lot of documents.
The documents that he was supposed to read were eventually handed to his assistant. He had no idea about Mallory
Corporation's decisions and their annual development plans.
Now, although Pierre had Old Master Mallory's support, he could not show that he knew nothing about the company. Otherwise,
he would be flabbergasted if the shareholders asked him about the company's matters during Mallory Corporation's
shareholder's meeting.
However, there were so many documents Pierre had to read. He was running out of time. Still, he had to follow his mother's
arrangement to have a meal with Belle Chamberlain, not to mention that he had to travel some distance to meet her. Pierre could
not help feeling resentful.
[It's not going to take a long time for you to drive there. If you think it's troublesome, ask the chauffeur to send you there
tomorrow. Dress well. Remember to put on formal attire. Belle likes elite-looking men," reminded Madam Mallory.
Elite?
Pierre raised his brows. That was not his style. Wearing a suit with a tie all day was something only Percy and Luke would insist
on doing.
Putting on a suit was Pierre's highest show of respect.
He replied impatiently: [Okay.]
Madam Mallory was still worried about it. After a while, she walked into Pierre's study.
“Mom, why aren't you resting on the bed? Why did you come here?" Pierre rose to his feet and helped Madam Mallory up.
Madam Mallory frowned and gently pushed him away. "I'm not that weak. You don't have to help me up. Let's go."
"Where are we going?" Pierre asked with confusion.
"I'm worried. It's an important lunch date tomorrow. Let me pick your suit and tie for you," said Madam Mallory. Belle had
mentioned in one of the interviews that she admired such men the most.
