Chapter 3417 What Are You Screaming For? Are You Trying To Get Yourself Killed?
"Mr. Mallory, won't you feel guilty if something happens to Nina?" Sue did not understand why he refused to call the police.
"It won't happen." Percy furrowed his brows as his mind raced to find a solution.
Sue was even more confused. "Just because you say it won't happen, does that mean it won't? Yes, Madam Mallory is your mother, but Nina is also your wife. If your mother harms your wife, shouldn't you call the police? Instead of doing that, you're leaving her in this dangerous situation. I honestly feel sorry for Nina."
Sue had always been straightforward. She thought Percy would protect Nina for life, but seeing him defend Karen at the cost of his wife's safety, she was deeply disappointed.
She felt she was in no position to feel sorry for Nina, but she could not understand Percy's actions.
Percy furrowed his brows. Calling the police was not an option.
The Mallory family could not afford this kind of turmoil.
If Old Master Mallory found out that he handed his mother over to the police or if Karen actually hurt someone, it would be a huge scandal. The consequences would be ugly.
Sue was about to explode with frustration when she noticed his silence.
Just as she was about to ignore his objections and go call the police, Percy spoke up, "I have a plan."
Everyone in the room, concerned about Nina's situation, turned their attention to him.
"A plan? What's your plan?" asked Sue. Her focus was solely on rescuing Nina.
"Prepare a share transfer agreement for Mallory Corporation," replied Percy as he turned to look at Sue.
Although she did not understand why he wanted to do this, Sue followed his instructions. Then, Percy turned to the director. "Find a doctor who's a stranger to her and have him pretend to be the lawyer. When she signs, knock her out with a syringe and take her away."
The director shuddered. It was too risky. "Mr. Mallory, perhaps we should consider another option."
He heard that Karen was holding a knife.
If the doctor did not act quickly enough and Karen noticed, the consequences would be unthinkable.
Either Nina would be hurt, or the doctor would be.
No matter what happened, the blame would fall on the doctor.
"Call the police?" Percy said coldly when he saw the director hesitated. "If I call the police, do you think your hospital can bear the responsibility for any mistakes?"
The director flinched and wiped his forehead with a handkerchief.
Turning to the doctors and nurses, he chose one who seemed unfamiliar. "Mr. Mallory, what do you think of this one?"
"As long as he can give an injection, that's fine," Percy stared at the doctor and reminded, " And don't panic no matter what happens. Just make sure the needle goes into her."
"Okay..." The doctor swallowed nervously. Even though this was not his first time injecting a patient, he still felt uneasy.
After all, he was dealing with Percy and his mother and wife.
All three were part of the Mallory family.
Each one of them was of remarkable status. He could not afford the responsibility if anything went wrong.
The director was also nervous. He pulled the doctor aside to go over the details and precautions.
The doctor nodded, then discreetly tucked the syringe into his sleeve.
Sue handed a fake share transfer agreement to Percy and said, "This is the one I had the lawyer prepare. I made some changes. Take a look."
Percy glanced at the agreement. Everything looked fine.
As long as it could calm Karen down, it would work.
Percy turned to the doctor, who met his gaze and gave a slight nod, signaling he was ready.
The two of them walked into the office, one following the other.
Karen's eyes narrowed the moment she saw someone else with Percy. "Who's this?"
"You wanted me to sign the share transfer agreement, so there needs to be a lawyer present. He's from Brilliant's legal department," explained Percy, handing the agreement to the
doctor.
"I've already signed it. If there are no issues, you can sign as well, and the 10% of the shares will be transferred to your name."
Nina listened to Percy's words and immediately realized the person was not a lawyer but probably someone helping Percy with his plans.
Her nerves tensed. She thought to herself that whatever happened, she needed to stay sharp and not drag Percy down.
Both she and Karen became tense as they watched the man approach.
"Stay where you are," Karen suddenly instructed.
The doctor stopped. Although he was not a lawyer, he was a professional doctor. Handling a patient with mental issues was something he could manage calmly.
However, when he saw the sharp knife pressed to Nina's neck, he could not help but feel a wave of anxiety. He swallowed nervously.
"Just stand there and don't try any tricks." Karen was cautious. Then, she said to Nina, " Bitch, go get the agreement!"
Percy furrowed his brows in disapproval when he heard her calling Nina like that.
Even if she did not want to admit it, he and Nina were already married, and they were husband and wife. Karen should not be speaking this way to Nina, who was her daughter-in- law.
Unless Karen no longer considered him her son!
Nina, trembling with fear, took the agreement from the doctor.
"Hold it up," instructed Karen.
Nina had no choice but to listen to her.
With some distance between them, Karen suspected Nina was trying to stall. She pressed the blade harder against her skin. "I told you not to try anything. Hold the paper up so that I can
see it clearly,"
Nina knew the lawyer was a fake. Hence, the agreement was likely a fraud.
However, Karen had once been a strong, powerful woman. Could she really be fooled by a
fake agreement?
Nina had deliberately held the paper farther away.
However, she did not expect that in her unstable state, Karen would be even harder tonoveldrama
deceive.
Feeling the sharp pain in her neck, Nina reluctantly brought the agreement closer.
Percy observed it all with a calm expression. This agreement had been obtained from the lawyer, so it was genuine. Moreover, he had already signed it.
Karen finally read through the entire document, scrutinizing every word. When she reached the last word, she smiled in satisfaction.
"Can you sign now?" Percy, knowing her well, could read her expressions like an open book. "Sure," replied Karen, extending her left hand. "Give me the pen."
Nina looked at Percy, seeking reassurance.
He gave a small nod.
"Move the knife away a little. I can't reach the pen." Nina stretched out her hand but was
still unable to reach the desk.
Karen narrowed her eyes, then simply reached for the pen herself.
Nina flinched as she almost got cut. She let out a startled cry.
Karen jumped in shock. "What are you screaming for?! Are you trying to get yourself killed?"
Nina quickly bit back her cry.
Still, that small outburst had thrown Karen off balance.
Gripping the pen in her left hand, she instructed Nina to lift the agreement. Nina glanced at
Percy, then reluctantly complied.
Karen awkwardly signed her name with her left hand. Being right-handed, her signature
was uneven and ugly.
However, she could not be bothered at this moment. To her, once she signed the agreement, 10% of the company's shares would be hers.
With that 10%, her and Pierre's positions in the Mallory family would rise again.
