Chapter 2181 Most Of Them Are True

“Most of what the news articles wrote about me are true.” Nina took a deep breath as she was not

afraid that Luca would know about her past.

It was because she knew Luca would not do anything to hurt her even if she knew everything.

“Mr. Mallory should already know about your past. He's not making a fuss out because of the news

articles, right?” said Luca. Percy knew Nina well, just like her.

“No, he’s not. He's been busy handling the matter the whole day. It's still a hot topic on the internet,

and it's not because he’s not doing anything to stop it. He's planning to find out who was the one

to expose the information to the reporters and proceed with the next step.” A bitter smile swept

across Nina's smile. She agreed with Percy's way of handling the matter.

After all, only a few knew about Nina's past. They should be able to find out who was the

mastermind behind all these soon if they were to look into it. After that, they would implement the

next plan. That would be the best.

Now, everyone knew about Nina's past, so it did not matter who wrote about her and published it.

“Then why did you...” Luca hesitated. Nina agreed with Percy's way of handling the matter, so there

was no need for her to run away from home.

"Percy's parents came to our house. Percy was there too, and he told his parents that he didn't care

about my past in front of his parents. He even told them that he'd marry me. Madam Mallory

fainted when she heard Percy say so. It was so chaotic. Percy only came back in the evening after

sending her to the hospital. He told me to pack my luggage after he came back. He wants to get

our marriage certificate abroad.” Nina recalled what happened, but there was a hint of desolation in

her eyes.

Luca did not know where that came from. Nina had just told her that she wanted to marry Percy last

night. Was it not good that Percy suggested bringing her abroad to get their marriage certificate?

"You've wanted to be together with him for ages. You have the chance to spend the rest of your life

with him, but you're running away now?” Luca asked in an unbelievable tone.

Nina crossed her legs, let out a deep sigh, and said, "Luca, you have no idea what I want. The

marriage I want is the kind of marriage where I can receive everyone's blessing and everyone agrees

with it. This is not the right time to get married. The whole world is against it, but he insists on

going against the world to be together with me.”

Luca understood what Nina meant. Nina ran away for the sake of her future.

If Percy lost Mallory Corporation just because he married Nina, she would regret it even if he would

not.

It was just like Jack asking Luca not to marry Luke with the information in his hands back then. She

wanted to be together with Luke at that time. She chose to bear the pain no matter how

heartbroken she was at the thought of Luke possibly facing imprisonment after he got together

with her. That was why she rejected him at the ceremony.

She did it merely for Luke's sake.

It was the same as what Nina was doing now.

“His family made it clear that if Percy insisted on marrying me, he'd lose a seat at the table in the

Mallory family. Although he told me that he'd be fine without Mallory Corporation and he can't live

without me by his side, it's still a fact that Percy was born with a silver spoon. He's capable, but it'll

be difficult for him if he loses the support of the Mallory family. Perhaps he'll regret choosing me

one day in the future. That's why I want to get the Mallory family's permission and support before

we get married rather than make him lose everything he has just because we want to get married.”

Nina added.

“Did the two of you fight?” Luca continued.

“It's not really a fight. He's too stubborn now. He said we should head to New York and sign the

marriage certificate immediately. I didn't want to do so, so I came out. I didn't bring anything with

me when I came out. That's when you came into my mind...” said Nina. She had been choosing

between Sue and Luca regarding who she should ask for help. She eventually chose Luca.

After all, Sue was quite confused now.

"You should've informed me at the first moment. It's not a good idea to run away from home

without putting on enough garments and not bringing your ID along with you. What would Mr.

Mallory do if anything had happened to you?” Luca shook her head, stood up, and cleaned the

table. “Spend the night here tonight. You can stay here tomorrow if you don't feel like going back

yet. No one knows you're here, after all. No one will disturb you.”

“Really? I'm allowed to stay here?” Nina was worried that she would disturb Luca.

"Yes. For as long as you wish.” Luca assured her. She pondered for a moment, turned around, and

added, "But you have to tell Mr. Mallory your whereabouts so that he doesn't have to worry about

you. He's not the one who exposed your past to the press this time. The two of you have different

perspectives on marriage. You'll have to face him after this ends. Talk to him when the time comes.”

"Okay. I will. Thank you, Luca.” Nina looked at Luca with gratitude.

Luca smiled and replied, “Wait for me to clean this up. Then let's go upstairs.”

“Okay.” Nina nodded. She picked up her phone after Luca walked into the kitchen. There were more

than ten missed calls and a bunch of unread messages. Nina did not return the calls, nor did she

read those messages. She knew Percy was talking about everything they had talked about before.

Nina sent him a message: [I'm at Luca's place. Don't worry. I'm not going back for now. The

reporters at the door are annoying.]

She turned off her phone after sending the message.

The reporters saw Madam Mallory going to Percy's villa and making a scene there.

After that, Madam Mallory fainted and she was sent to the hospital. Nina had no idea how the

reporters found out about it, but it was being reported on the news now.

Speaking of this, Nina thought the reporters were good at investigating and finding out what had

happened. Even the private detectives were not as good as them. If it were not for her running away

from the villa at night and there being no reporters waiting outside at the time, Nina would not

have been able to get out of the villa.

Fortunately, Madam Mallory was okay. She was only suffering from hypertension, and she fainted

because she did not take her medicine on time.

Nina let out a sigh of relief after knowing that she was fine. If anything happened to Madam Mallory

because of her, she would not know how to face Percy.

Luca placed the snacks back where they were. She did this to prevent the kids from being greedy

and eating too many snacks. She cleaned the glass and walked out of the kitchen, then she asked,

"Have you told Mr. Mallory?"

“Yeah. He knows I'm here.” Nina rose to her feet.

Luca nodded and replied, “Come on. Let's go upstairs. I'm going to find you a set of pajamas. Take a

shower and get some rest. Stop overthinking.”

"Yes. Thank you for letting me stay.” Nina blinked her eyes at Luca. Although she had a lot on her

mind now, she was surprisingly relieved when she was facing Luca.

It was like she was facing someone she had known for ages. Nina could not help but share her

thoughts and troubles with her. She was comforted at the same time.

Luca brought Nina up to the second floor and reminded her, “Lanie and the others are asleep.”
