“Lend you money?" Percy raised his eyebrows. It turned out that this was Jean's true motive.

His tone sounded like he was reluctant to lend him money, so Jean had to summon up the courage and say, "Mr.

Mallory, even if one provides clues to the police, one will still get an informer's fee. Although you already know that

Marie was the one who betrayed Nina, I still intended to tell you anyway, so there has to be an informer's fee,

right?"

"How much do you want?" Percy did not agree. Instead, he answered him with a question.

"Isn't that up to you? How much do you think Nina is worth?" Jean rubbed his hands together and gestured to Percy.

"Nina is a priceless treasure. She can't be compared to a woman like Marie," said Percy with a cold gaze. He picked

up his phone and instructed his assistant, "Come in."

The door to the reception room was pushed open.

Jean was worried that Percy was going to chase him out until he heard him say, "Give Mr. Langdon a hundred

dollars in cash."

A hundred dollars?

He came all the way here to show his goodwill, yet it was only worth a hundred dollars?

Jean thought Percy was too stingy, but he dared not say anything. He was afraid that if he said something, he would

not even have the hundred dollars.

Besides, the hundred dollars would be able to solve his urgent needs right now. At least it would allow him to survive

here for the next few days and figure out how to get money.

The assistant was at a loss. "Boss, I don't have any cash on me. Who still carries cash on them nowadays?"

Jean's expression changed as he quickly said, "It doesn't have to be cash. You can transfer it to me too."

The assistant looked at Percy.

"Give it to him," said Percy. He had no plans of doing it himself as Jean was not worthy.

"Yes, Boss." The assistant took out his phone to scan Jean's QR code and transferred a hundred dollars to him.

[You have received one hundred dollars.] A notification rang on Jean's phone.

He looked at Percy with a smile on his face. "Thank you, Mr. Percy."

Percy stood up, looked at the receptionist, and said, "See him off downstairs."

“Yes, sir." The receptionist nodded.

Jean hurriedly stood up and said, "Mr. Mallory, can I ask you for a favor?"

"What?" Percy's words were brief as usual.

"If your people manage to find Marie, please tell me immediately," Jean requested.

Percy turned around to look at him and smirked. "So you can get your money and watch back?"

When he came in, he noticed that Jean was no longer wearing the watch Jim mentioned.

If nothing else, it must have been stolen along with the money.

"Marie, that thief! I'll make her pay!" Jean said with gritted teeth.

Percy warned him, "Do you think that Marie will still have the money when you find her?"

Marie and Jean were two of a kind. They would spend their money lavishly if they had any. Once he found her,

Jean's money would be almost gone.

Jean lowered his head in shock.

He and Nina said the same thing. Even if he found Marie, he might not be able to get the money back...

Besides, there would not be much left after passing through the hands of Marie.

After Percy returned to his office, he told Nina about today's events.

When Nina learned that he gave Jean a hundred dollars, she exclaimed, "Why did you give him money?"

"All his money was taken by Marie. Are you sure you can accept the fact that he may starve to death on the streets

at any time?" Percy asked. Although Nina loathed Jean, she still could not completely cut off blood relations.

Otherwise, she would not have taken on the responsibility for Anna's living expenses and medical fees.

Percy knew that the money Nina gave Anna was enough to support Jean if Anna spent it consciously.

However, Anna had no idea how to save her money. It could be because it was not her hard-earned money, so it

was easy for her to spend it all in one go.

Hence, she could not care for Jean either.

Nina fell silent.

"Jean won't be able to find the money in such a short time no matter how many different methods he tries. The

hundred dollars isn't much." Percy sighed. A hundred dollars is indeed not a lot, but if Jean spent it mindfully, he

could survive in A city for several days.

With a nature like his, he would definitely find a way to get money.

"I know.." Nina did not expect Jean to look for Percy after she refused to give him money. He even told him about

what Marie did.

She was helpless.

"Let's leave it at that for now. I'll be going to work," said Nina while feeling low-spirited.

After hanging up, she stood up and looked at the view outside the window.

She had told Percy many times to not pity her family and give them any money because there was no limit to their

greed. No matter how much money they had, it would not be able to satisfy their greed.

Nina did not want her birth family to be a burden to Percy.

However, it seemed like situations like these were unavoidable as long as she was with Percy.

Nina sighed as she was at a loss...

There was a knock on her office door, and Nina sat back down after gathering her emotions. “Come in."

The assistant pushed the door open and came in with a stack of documents in her arms while informing, "Ms.

Langdon, the headquarters called for a meeting, so you'll need to go over there."

"Okay, I got it." Nina took the document handed over by her assistant and glanced at it before putting on her coat

to rush over to T Corporation.

The meeting was to discuss the development of the suburbs, and Nina only realized after the meeting that Luke

wanted Brilliant Architectural Design LLC to participate in the bidding project as well.

Nina agreed right away upon hearing the good news.

Although there were many orders at Brilliant Architectural Design LLC, with a headquarters like T Corporation, their

orders would usually lean toward small or medium-sized projects.

The profits may be considerable, but compared to T Corporation, even the profit of 10 Brilliant Architectural Design

LLC would have nothing on them.

With this opportunity, their company's profits and employee benefits would be much better for the next year.

After the meeting, Nina took the elevator downstairs and ran into Luca who had just come to work.

"Luca, why are you only coming to work now?" Nina was surprised. She saw a briefcase in Luca's hands, so she

guessed that she had just arrived.

"I caught a cold, so I went to the hospital to get some medicine," explained Luca. When she finished her medicine,

Luke intended to have Johann send it over, but she felt bad for always bothering Johann, so she offered to get it

from the hospital herself.

She returned to the office late just because she had to get medicine from the hospital, so she asked Zoey to help

her take a leave of absence.

Nina frowned upon hearing Luca's hoarse voice. "Are you okay?"

"It's nothing. I just got a cold, and I'm almost all better now," said Luca as she knew best about her body.

"Good to hear that. It must be uncomfortable for you after catching a cold. Get more rest. It's almost New Year's,

so it'll get even more chilly outside. Make sure to keep yourself warm." Nina sighed.
