"'ll contact someone in A City to investigate," said Gale.
"Let Percy know while you're at it," added Luke. "He needs to be aware of this."
"Got it." Gale hurried off to handle the matter.
After taking Gale's call, Percy hung up and stared icily at the middle-aged man standing before him.
Under Percy's chilling gaze, the man nervously dabbed at the sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief.
"Mr. Mallory, my sincerest apologies..." The man, the director of the psychiatric hospital, had come to personally apologize to Percy today.
Karen had escaped.
Two days ago, Percy admitted Karen to the psychiatric hospital. After an evaluation, the doctors determined her condition warranted hospitalization, so she was admitted.
Even though Karen was against it, given her mental state and with the consent of an immediate family member, the hospital was legally authorized to proceed.
Percy had even informed the hospital to take special care of Karen. He had explicitly instructed them not to discharge her until she had fully recovered. To ensure this, he had made a generous donation to the hospital.
They had received the funding, yet the negligence on the part of the hospital staff had allowed Karen to escape.
The director felt like crying.
Losing the donation was one thing, but the potential damage to the hospital's reputation was far more serious. Their facility was not only renowned in A City but also across the country!
An incident like this a patient escaping from their psychiatric hospital-could cause a massive scandal.
That was why the director of the psychiatric hospital had come to confess to Percy, hoping to downplay the incident and find a way to salvage the situation. After all, they still had not located Karen.
"Do you think a simple apology will make this go away?" Percy instinctively picked up a cigarette.
Nina did not like him smoking. Therefore, Percy quit smoking a long time ago. Still, holding a cigarette helped him think.
The director wiped his sweat again and said, "I know this is a serious matter, and no amount of apologies can fix it. That's why I'm here, to find a solution. Our staff has searched everywhere but hasn't been able to locate Madam Mallory. We were hoping you could help us. Once she's back, I promise we'll take stricter measures to ensure this doesn't happen again."
No one at the hospital had expected Karen, a woman, to escape through multiple layers of security. It was impossible to believe she had not received any help.
They had no clue. Left with no other choice, the director had to turn to Percy.
Percy slammed the cigarette onto the table.
The director flinched.
"What is your hospital even doing?" Percy demanded coldly. "You let her escape, and now, you want her family to help find her? Is this what your hospital brags about in its ads?"
The director remained silent, too intimidated to respond.
"I remember telling you she didn't want to be admitted, didn't I?" Percy's voice was cold. The director nodded slightly. "Yes, you did. This was entirely due to our carelessness."
A trace of rage flashed across Percy's eyes. Sending Karen to the psychiatric hospital had not been his first choice. It was a last resort.
If Karen stayed out in public, she would only ruin his plans.
Old Master Mallory harbored a deep disdain for Karen, and the world's perception of her was equally unforgiving. The only shield she had left was the claim of her mental instability. Percy had no intention of cleaning up her messes anymore. That was why he had taken the drastic step of committing her to the psychiatric hospital. While receiving treatment, she would also be cut off from the outside world.
At least it would stop her from causing trouble during such a critical time.
If she upset Old Master Mallory, years of his hard work could be wiped away in an instant.
Just as Percy was considering sending someone to check if Karen had gone to Pierre's villa, his phone rang.
It was Nina.
His tense expression softened slightly. Nina should be working at this hour, so it was unusual for her to call.
He answered, "Nina, what's wrong?"
"Percy." Nina's voice was unsteady on the other end of the line.
Percy immediately sensed something was off. He frowned. "What happened?"
"I'm at Brilliant. Can you please come over? I need to talk to you." Nina's voice was trembling as if she had encountered something terrifying.
"Alright. I'm on my way. Wait for me," replied Percy, "Wait for me. I'll be there soon."
After he hung up the call, he immediately called Sue.
"Mr. Mallory, what's the matter?" Sue quickly answered.
"What's going on with Nina?" Percy asked directly.
"Did something happen to Nina? That shouldn't be. Oh, wait. Your mother came by earlier looking for her. Nina invited her into the office. Do you think something might have happened?" Sue suddenly remembered that Jason had mentioned Percy's mother was not in
a good mental state.
Kicking herself for forgetting this detail, she stood up. "I'll go check it out."
"No need," replied Percy. At this point, no one should provoke Karen further.
Sue hesitated. "But what if Nina's in danger?"
Even though Karen was just one woman, a person with mental health issues could be far more unpredictable and dangerous than an ordinary person.
Last time, Karen slapped Nina across her face. When Sue heard about it, her heart sank.
If it were not for the timely intervention of the security guards, Nina might have suffered worse.
"I'm heading there now. Don't let anyone else intervene." Percy ended the call, grabbed his coat, and glanced at the director sitting across from him. "Once she's found, have your hospital staff ready with a tranquilizer gun."
"Understood." The director had just let out a sigh of relief but froze again when he heard about the tranquilizer gun. The severity of the situation became clear, and his legs wobbled.
If Karen ended up hurting someone or herself after escaping, the hospital's century-old reputation would be destroyed.
Regardless of whether Percy pursued legal action, the public's backlash alone could be catastrophic, possibly leading to an exodus of patients transferring to other facilities.
Realizing the gravity of the matter, the director followed Percy out. He contacted the staff to give them the address Percy had mentioned.
What should have been a 20-minute drive turned into just over ten as Percy ran several red lights, speeding toward Brillant's office. He arrived downstairs, got out of the car without a word, and headed straight upstairs.
The director trailed behind Percy and suggested, "Mr. Mallory, perhaps we should wait for my staff to arrive first."
"There's no time," replied Percy, "She's in the same place as my wife right now."
The director froze for a moment.
He knew that Percy had recently gotten married and had gone against the entire Mallory family and the company's shareholders to marry this woman. Despite the overwhelming opposition, he withstood the pressure and went through with the wedding.
Percy cared for this woman immensely.
Cold sweat kept dripping down the director's back. He hastily picked up his phone and urged the staff to hurry.
After hanging up, he realized Percy was already in the elevator heading upstairs.
When Percy stepped out of the elevator, Sue approached him from the other direction.
