"All I ask is for my baby to grow healthily." Nina only wanted her baby to be healthy.
“You'll have a strong and healthy baby after nursing your health.” Luca held Nina's hands.
Percy pushed the door open and came in. He noticed that they were having a moment, and he could not help but ask, "What are
you two talking about?”
Nina smiled and paraphrased what Luca said to her, "I asked Luca to check my pulse just now. She told me that my condition
was much better now. We can have a baby after our wedding ceremony."
"Really?" Percy was not in a hurry to have a baby. However, he thought it would be interesting to have a daughter who
resembled Nina. "Dr. Craw, are there any ways to make Nina get pregnant with a baby girl?"
"There's no way I can decide the gender of the baby. Let nature take its course." Luca could not help but secretly exclaim that
Percy was a man who would dote on his daughter.
"He has always thought of getting a baby girl who resembles me if we were to have a baby. But everyone says daughters would
always resemble their fathers. I think it's a good idea if I'm really pregnant with a baby girl who resembles him too." Nina thought
Percy's genes were better.
"Our daughter can't resemble me. She must look like you." Percy shook his head. He only wanted a little Nina.
Luca smiled as she listened to their conversation.
The private room's door was pushed open, and Luke came walking in. "All of you came early."
"Dr. Craw was the earliest to arrive." Percy smiled as he stared at Luca.
Luke nodded. He walked toward the seat beside Luca and sat down. "Where's Jim?"
"I called him. He's on his way here. He said his kids were making a fuss, refusing to leave. It took him a while to convince them,"
answered Percy.
"Okay." Luke did not say anything more. He changed the subject of conversation and asked Percy, "Did Pierre return to Mallory
Manor?"
"I guess so. Otherwise, where could he go? The Department of Justice and the police officers are looking for him everywhere,"
replied Percy.
Now that things had turned into such a big deal, the Department of Justice and the police officers would not let it slide.
Everyone had their eyes on the matter.
Once Percy disclosed the news to the public, other than catching the attention of the citizens, those who lost out on their money
doing business with Pierre were posting their experiences on the internet. They talked about how they got cheated by Pierre and
posted their evidence.
Percy had found himself in a difficult situation now.
“Will the people from the Department of Justice find him?" Luke asked again.
Previously, Pierre had already pissed Luke off for laying a finger on Luca. If it were not for Percy, who asked him to be patient,
Pierre would have been out of luck.
He would not have come so far while not knowing what was best for him and fighting over the company with Percy.
"They will." Percy nodded and added, "Unless he's not at Mallory Manor."
"He'll have to show up sooner or later."
The private room's door was pushed open again. Jim and Scarlett came in together. "I'm sorry we're late. The kids were causing
trouble, and we were stuck in traffic. I'm really sorry."
"It's okay. You can have two more drinks tonight." Percy smiled casually.
Percy was truly happy today. His blood ties with Pierre had been holding him back from doing things, and that was why Nina had
been hard done by him.
Now, his mind was finally at ease.
"I will. Today's your big day. I've already called my chauffeur to drive the car. It doesn't matter if I go home drunk today." Jim
pulled the chair out. After he let Scarlett sit down on the chair, he sat down beside her.
"No restrictions today?" Percy teased.
Scarlett's face turned red. She did not like Jim drinking too much. That was why Jim would either take a few drinks or not have
any whenever they went out for a drink.
In other words, it was vibe-killing.
"No restrictions today, right, honey?" Jim smiled as he turned to look at Scarlett.
"Yeah. You can drink more. It's Mr. Mallory's big day today. We should celebrate." Scarlett nodded and went along with him.
Percy nodded and rang the bell, signaling the waiters to serve the dishes he ordered earlier.
The private room's door was pushed open once more. A few waiters lined up in order and marched into the room, serving the
dishes on the table.
It was a feast, and there were also bottles of red wine that had been decanted. Luca secretly mumbled to herself that fortunately,
Warren would be waiting for them downstairs tonight. She could ask him to send them back home later.
As excitement filled the air, it was full of laughter and joy in the private room. On the other hand, the man with a gloomy
expression on his face could not wait to kill the person in front of him.
Pierre glared at the secretary who came to report the situation to him. He asked, "You let them enter the office?"
Ms. Malone trembled and reported to him with a shivering voice, "Mr. Pierre, they came with a warrant.
There was no way I could stop them..."
She had been coming up with excuses at the office today, waiting for Pierre to come back. In the end, the people from the
Department of Justice and the police officers ran out of patience and told her that if she continued to obstruct them, they would
have her on obstruction of justice. Ms. Malone dared not face such a charge. She had no choice but to let them search the office.
A man with a scar on his face walked toward Percy with a glass of liquor and handed it to him. He gazed at Ms. Malone,
checking her out. “Mr. Pierre, have a drink."
Pierre took the glass from him and gulped down the glass of liquor. Then, he asked Ms. Malone, "What did they take?"
"They took many documents away, as well as the computer in your office. They also took the executives' computer cases, but
they didn't take away the documents in your safebox," answered Ms. Malone.
Pierre frowned. Even though they did not take the documents in the safebox, there was a lot of secret information in the official
documents and computers that should be kept secret.
"Mr. Pierre, I tried my best. They initially thought of taking the safebox away..." Ms. Malone carefully uttered, "But.."
"What else?" Pierre reeked of alcohol. He slightly bent down, coming up close to Ms. Malone. He grabbed her by the chin. "Tell
me everything at once."
"They sealed the safebox and locked it with a lock. They said no one is allowed to touch it. After you return, you'll have to open
the safebox yourself and they'll take a look at the contents." Ms. Malone's body was shaking. Her chin was in pain as Pierre was
gripping it violently, but she dared not to move.
Rumor had it that Pierre had blood on his hands.
It seemed like what they said was well-founded and true.
Ms. Malone was pretty sure that Pierre was a man who had committed murder now.
She dared not to move as she was afraid that Pierre would kill her.
"You're a good-for-nothing!" Pierre slapped Ms. Malone on the face.
Ms. Malone fell back into the sofa getting slapped violently by him. She covered her face with her hand as a metallic and slightly
sweet scent hung at the back of her throat.
The man beside him saw what Pierre did and shook his head continuously. He could not help but wonder why Pierre was not
considerate of his secretary. How could he treat such a pretty secretary badly?
"Mr. Pierre, now that things have turned out this way, slapping her isn't going to help anything. Why don't we think of a way to
deal with this?" The man noticed that Ms. Malone's face had become swollen, and he spoke to save her.
"We can't let those people have the documents in the safebox." Pierre gripped the glass tight and said in a grim voice.
