Chapter 2609 It’s Not A Human You Slapped

“Take him away.” commanded Percy, cutting straight to the chase. He defended Nina and leveled

Pierre with a cold stare.

He knew Pierre would come looking for him and cause trouble after the investor's decisions broke.

However, he did not expect Pierre to lose his cool so soon.

"Yes, sir.” The security guards stepped forward. While they felt a little awkward that it was Pierre they

had to escort out, Percy was nonetheless the one who paid. Hence, they had no choice but to listen

to Percy's instructions.

"How dare you! I'm one of the shareholders of this company!” glowered Pierre at the security

guards behind him.

He was standing in his family’s company, but he was asked to leave, taken away by the security

guards. It would be humiliating if the others found out about this!

The three security guards hesitated for a moment.

“I'll call the police if you refuse to leave. I believe they're still looking for you now,” warned Percy.

He had given Pierre an option — be kicked out by security or be arrested by the police officers.

Pierre frowned. Not only did he get slapped in the face this time, but he also came here to get

himself humiliated.

He would remember all these!

Pierre's menacing eyes swept across Pierre and Nina's faces. He snatched his arms from the security

guard's grip, turned around, and left.

Percy glared after Pierre's back and instructed his assistant, “Tell the technical department to set up

an elevator access control system.”

"Yes, boss.” nodded the assistant, immediately leaving to do as he was instructed.

Usually, there was no elevator access control system to this floor. After all, no one would normally

walk into here to cause trouble. The ordinary employees would not dare to come to this floor to

make trouble.

In the past, Percy never said anything about it, so the technical department never did anything

about it either.

Now, they had set up the elevator access control system to prevent Pierre from coming up here to

stir up trouble again.

After all, Pierre was one of the company’s shareholders, and he was the second master of the

Mallory family. As his subordinate, there was nothing they could do to stop Pierre from getting in.

After Pierre left, the security guards and Percy's assistant turned to leave too, leaving Percy and Nina

in the office.

“He's finally gone,” muttered Nina as she heaved a sigh.

"Are you frightened?” Percy knew Pierre was Nina's worst nightmare.

Even though Percy had been by her side for many years, he still could not help Nina overcome her

fear for Pierre.

“No. I even slapped him in the face just now!” exclaimed Nina as she shook her head. If she was

facing Pierre alone, she would never have the guts to do that.

It was only when she was behind Percy, only then was she empowered to dare slap Pierre across his

face.

She had made up her mind to do something terrible to him, which was to slap him across his face

with all her strength.

Percy looked at Nina's reddened palm. He imagine how hard the slap had to be to make Nina's

palm so red. Percy held her hand, feeling sorry for her. He did not feel sorry for Pierre getting

slapped in the face, but he was concerned about Nina.

"Don't slap someone with your palm next time. Use something else,” said Percy. Pierre was in pain,

but Nina's palm hurt too.

Nina understood what he meant. She could not help but mumble, “There was nothing I could grab

at that moment.”

“Then let me do it.” Percy kissed all her ten fingertips.

"No. It felt better to do it myself. Hitting him with a brick was what I wanted to do the most just

now," mumbled Nina. How she wished she could crush Pierre's bones.

Of course, it was just her imagination. She dared not to do either.

"Sounds like a great idea,” beamed Percy with joy.

“Hey, physical assault is against the law.” chastised Nina as she withdrew her hand, Her fingers were

no longer in pain, it seemed like Percy's kisses worked magic on them.

“It's not a human you slapped.” Percy could not be bothered whether or not Pierre was his younger

brother, he was a beast.

“You're so mean. He'd be pissed if he heard that.” said Nina, hugging Percy and placing a gentle kiss

on his lips.

Percy held her in his arms. “He's in a bad fix now. He wouldn't dare come looking for trouble.”

He even pondered that maybe he should not have saved Pierre when Luke had secretly sent

someone to deal with Pierre at the time.

Would Nina feel better that way?

"Hey, you've won a great victory today. We shouldn't be wasting time talking about someone like

him. Why don't we talk about how we are going to celebrate your victory tonight?” Nina rested her

head on Percy's chest, listening to his heart beat strongly. She felt satisfied.

What came after the feeling of satisfaction was happiness and joy.

Fortunately, Percy did not give up the career that he had spent his life on just because he chose her.

Fortunately, she did not become his burden this time.

"How are we going to celebrate..." Percy paused for a moment. He lowered his voice, teasing her

playfully, "Why don't I book a suite tonight and celebrate there..."

Nina immediately understood what Percy meant. Her face reddened, “How can you think of such

things?”

“What else?” Percy lowered his head and looked at Nina. “Isn't it something good that's worth

celebrating?”

“It is, but your friends have been a great help in this matter. We should treat them to dinner tonight

and thank them.” Nina was talking about Luke and Jim. They had been so much help to Percy today.

Although they did not show up to the conference meeting, they entrusted all their shares to Percy

— their shares which were bought from individual investors using their subordinate’s accounts.

Coupled with their careful yet steady and calculated purchase of these shares each day, Old Master

Mallory and Pierre were none the wiser.

That was why Percy could win the war.

“You're right.” Percy pondered for a moment. “Let me book a restaurant and invite them to dinner.”

“Okay,” nodded Nina. Though Percy would eventually pay Luke and Jim the shares they entrusted

according to the share prices on the market, Percy and Nina nevertheless had to express their

gratitude to them for their help.

If Percy did not win the war this time, Nina would have felt uneasy for the rest of her life.

She would even feel guilty.

On the other hand, Luca let out a sigh of relief after she finished watching the live broadcast.

Percy won.

That would mean Percy won the war while he insisted on being together with Nina. There were no

longer any obstacles between them. They would probably be holding a wedding ceremony after

this.

Luca hoped she could attend their wedding ceremony. If she could see how happy Nina was, it

might be able to make her feel less guilty despite everything she owed Nina.

Knock-knock.

There was a knock on the door.

“Come in,” said Luca. She reckoned that it was Rhett outside the door.

The door pushed open to reveal Rhett as he entered her office with a few sheets of paper in his

hand. "Dr. Craw, your sample analysis report is out.”

“Okay. Thank you.” Luca rose to her feet and took the report from Rhett. “No one else saw it, right?”

"No, not even me. Don't worry," answered Rhett. He knew Luca did not want others to look at the

report. He had been paying close attention to the equipment. He took the report and came here

immediately after it was printed out.

“Thank you. I'll leave you to work.” Luca was satisfied with his fast working efficiency.

"Okay. Please excuse me." said Rhett, before walking out of her office and closing the door behind

him.
