"Percy! Are you trying to drive me crazy?" Old Master Mallory breathed heavily. He thought Percy would agree to this to improve their relationship.
However, at this moment, Percy seemed determined and unwavering, showing no regard for their relationship. It was all because of Nina.
"Grandpa, I can agree to everything else except for matters concerning Nina," replied Percy expressionlessly. When it came to anything related to Nina, there was no way he would compromise.
Nina watched how Percy made his unwavering choice in her favor. She could not help but feel deeply moved.
However, when she saw Old Master Mallory's face turning red, she was worried.
When Percy publicly announced their marriage without a proper ceremony, Karen fell ill from sheer frustration. Now, if Percy insisted on defying Old Master Mallory, it might also lead to dire consequences. She would truly become an outcast in the Mallory family.
Nina wanted to say that it was fine even if they did not hold the wedding ceremony. It would not affect their relationship as long as they were married.
However, with Percy standing firm, she could not bring herself to speak up in such a situation. She thought they could discuss it after they left.
"Very well!" Old Master Mallory said as he leaned on his cane and rose abruptly. He pointed the cane at Percy's face and said, "If you insist on marrying this woman, then consider yourself no longer my grandson!"
Percy ignored what Old Master Mallory said to him. He turned to Nina and said, "Let's go."
Nina furrowed her brows, allowing him to pull her toward the door.
"Percy, are you really willing to abandon your grandfather, your mother, and even your younger brother for this woman?" Karen stomped in anger. She stood up and yelled at them, watching them from behind.
If looks could kill, Nina would be dead right now.
Percy stopped without turning back. Instead, he glanced to the side, eyes locking onto Nina. He took note of her concerns. "I'll continue to take care of family matters, but I won't compromise when it comes to my wife.”
Then, he took Nina and left the house.
Old Master Mallory was so upset by his words that he slumped down in his chair, gasping for breath with his hand on his chest.
“Oh my, Old Master Mallory.” Mr. Bennet secretly exclaimed to himself, ‘This is no good!’ He rushed to the living room, realizing that something was terribly wrong. However, by the time he arrived, Percy had already left with Nina.
He could not be bothered to get Percy back. He grabbed a bottle of pills out of the cabinet and rushed back to the dining room. He quickly poured a few of them, gave them to Old Master Mallory, and let the pills dissolve in his mouth.
Half a minute later, Old Master Mallory slowly moved his hand away from his chest. After he calmed down, he remained silent. His eyes were gloomy.
Karen was also startled by Old Master Mallory's condition. When she saw his complexion improve, she started cursing loudly, "I don't know what that bitch did to Percy! He’s going against his family for a worthless woman! This is really getting on my nerves. If I had known he would go against his family for such a woman, I would've never let him be born into this world!"
Mr. Bennet listened to Karen's continuous rant and looked at Old Master Mallory worriedly. "Old Master Mallory, should I call the family doctor to come over?"
Old Master Mallory looked like he was going to have a heart attack. Even though he took his pills in time, Mr. Bennet was still worried that something might happen. He thought it would be better to have the family doctor come over and give Old Master Mallory a check-up.
“No need,” replied Old Master Mallory with a sullen expression on his face.
"Do you need me to take you to the hospital or arrange for an X-ray?" asked Mr. Bennet in a low voice.
"Go find someone to keep an eye on Percy," instructed Old Master Mallory. He had no intention of going to the hospital. He knew his own body best. It was just that he was so angry that he could not catch his breath after he heard what Percy said.
Mr. Bennet noticed how stubborn he was and glanced at Karen, hoping she could help to persuade him.
However, Karen completely misinterpreted his meaning. When she heard Old Master Mallory asking someone to watch Percy, she said, “Father, let him do whatever he wants. He's grown up, and he’s managing Mallory Corporation. He’s no longer under our control. Why don't you focus on getting Pierre out instead of worrying about that? Will he be able to live peacefully in that detention ward?"
"Madam!" Mr. Bennet could not help but feel anxious. Karen seemed to be steering the conversation toward what Old Master Mallory disliked the most. It almost seemed as though she would not stop deliberately infuriating Old Master Mallory until she was satisfied!
