Chapter 3227 Several Years
"Amazing, this scene is beautiful! Can you do some more intimate poses?" asked the photographer.
"Of course." Percy and Nina struck a few close poses together.
They had been together for several years, which meant they had forged a deep bond that made them perfectly in sync. Whenever Nina struck a pose, Percy instinctively knew how to complement it.
After the shoot, the photographer asked for their email address, promising to send the photos as a thank-you once they were ready.
Once the photographer left, Percy and Nina returned to their hotel. As soon as they stepped in, Nina's phone automatically powered on after plugging it in.
In an instant, several notifications popped up.
"Sue has called me multiple times." Nina glanced at Percy. "Is it something urgent? Did she contact you?"
She had forgotten to charge her phone before going to bed last night, so it remained off while she was out. Percy shook his head. "She didn't call me. You should call her back and see what's up."
"Okay." Nina waited a moment for her phone to charge before dialing the international number.
It took a while before Sue finally answered. "Hello, Nina?"
"It's me, Sue. My phone died today, and I couldn't charge it while I was out. What happened?" asked Nina. "Ugh, I was wondering why I couldn't reach you! I was worried sick." Realizing the difficulties of charging a phone abroad, Sue continued, "Your mother and brother came to the office today. It was a total scene. It was really embarrassing."
Nina's expression darkened. She did not expect them to cause a fuss at Brilliant after failing to locate her. "Sue, if they come again, just call the cops. Once they know we're serious, they won't dare come back to the office." Sue heaved a long sigh. "I wanted to do so, but if the cops get involved, won't it make things more awkward?" If the cops were called, they would definitely take Jean and Anna in for questioning. They would face some serious consequences.
Given Anna's health, if she got a scare again, it would only make things harder for Nina. Could she really stand that?
That was why Sue did not call the police today. She only had the security guards escort them out and put them on a blacklist.
However, even with the blacklist, they could still find ways to sneak in. After all, this building was not like T Corporation. Here, every floor housed a different company, and the security system was what it was.
There were so many people coming and going that the security could not possibly keep track of everyone.
"They just want money. Being too kind will only encourage them to come back for more. Sue, trust me. If they show up again, call the cops! Don't hesitate," Nina said firmly. Some people need to be dealt with firmly or they would not take the situation seriously.
As soon as she finished speaking, Percy wrapped her in his arms.
Sue paused for a moment before saying, "Alright. If they dare come back, I'll call the cops. Nina, I'm sorry for interrupting your honeymoon. I just needed to know your stance on this."
"It's okay, Sue. If they ask who told you to call the cops, just tell them it was me," replied Nina. After all, she had blocked Anna's and Jean's numbers. They were out of money now, so they could not afford to buy more SIM cards just to reach her.
Sue replied, "Okay. I won't interrupt you and Mr. Mallory during your honeymoon any longer. I'll hang up now." "Thanks, Sue. I appreciate you taking care of things at the company while I'm away," said Nina. She would never have imagined that they would cause a scene at the office just to get some money.
"No need to mention it. We're partners. Just enjoy your honeymoon. I won't bother you anymore. Bye!" Sue replied cheerfully before hanging up.
Percy took Nina's phone to charge it and asked, "They went to Brilliant?"
"Yes, I didn't expect that. They must've figured out I'm on my honeymoon. But no matter how much they stir up trouble, they won't be able to find me, right?" replied Nina.
Percy kissed her softly on the lips and said, "That's true, but this problem still needs to be addressed."
If they did not deal with it, neither he nor Nina would have any peace.
Nina wrapped her arms around Percy's waist and murmured, "It's not that easy to resolve. Even if we give them money, it won't be enough. Nothing will work. The only thing that might keep them in line is a prison sentence."
She was speaking the truth.
Even though Anna's health had deteriorated while Jean was in prison, and she had to deal with a lot of back-and- forth, at least she was not constantly bothered by them.
"Don't say that. They're your mother and brother, and they've been behaving themselves lately. There's no need for anyone to go to prison." Percy kissed her cheek. As if he could not get enough, he planted a couple more kisses there.
"Did you really have someone keep an eye on them?" Nina pinched his cheek playfully.
Given how he was talking about it, she suspected Percy had someone watching them.
"Just to avoid any trouble," admitted Percy. After all, if Jean and Anna stirred up any issues, it would ultimately affect Nina. He did all of this simply to protect the woman he loved most.
Percy recalled that he realized he had someone tailing Jean and Anna long before he had even confessed his feelings to Nina. He had already fallen for her then.
"Okay." Nina lowered her gaze. Just then, her phone vibrated. She released Percy's waist and picked up her phone to take a look. It was a message from Luca.
She opened the message and burst into laughter.
"What's so funny?" asked Percy.
"Luca says Gale has hired a planning company and is going to confess to Rain tomorrow." Nina handed him her phone. "I didn't expect them to get together, especially since they've always acted like close friends."
"Rain has always had a thing for Gale. He's just a bit slow on the uptake." Percy glanced at the message before taking the phone back to charge.
"You knew?" Nina was surprised.
"I could tell," said Percy, "Remember those times I disappeared for a few days? I was off doing things with them. I noticed how they acted around each other."
He smiled.
"So, it seems I'm the last to find out." Nina chuckled. "But we still have a few days before we head back. Otherwise, we could've gone to support Rain in person."
"Confessions like theirs are usually recorded. If you want to participate, have Luca ask the staff for a video. We can watch it together when we get back." There was a hint of indulgence in Percy's tone.
"Sounds great!" Nina's eyes lit up. "And what about the video of our wedding and the photos from the ceremony? We haven't seen those yet. Do you have them?"
"Yes." Percy nodded. "Would you like to see them?"
"Yeah, I've been meaning to. Since we have some time, why don't we go through them today?" suggested Nina.
"Sure, just give me a moment," Percy said affectionately as he turned on his laptop, accessed his email, and used the hotel's projector to play the video.
