Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle by Heap Heap

That was why Pierre was unable to find someone to take up the responsibility in such a short time.

Money could solve his problem, but the scapegoat would have to face imprisonment. He reckoned that it would be

hard to find someone to take the blame no matter how much money he offered.

“I don't have much patience left to deal with this matter. Old Master Crawford went to the Mallory family's manor to

make a clear statement that he would bring this matter to the police station and the court. So, Mr. Pierre, you'd

better hurry." Luke urged him with a cold voice, "I can ask my men to look into it if you can't figure it out."

Pierre's face turned pale. It seemed like Luke was asking Pierre to get a move on the matter, but the truth was,

Luke was dropping a hint about Pierre's incompetence.

"Don't worry. I'll find that person and give you an explanation." Percy clenched his jaw and replied. If Pierre was

allowed to do so, he would have ripped the arrogant and condescending man in front of him into pieces and fed his

flesh to stray dogs.

Pierre and Luke grew up in wealthy families. Speaking of their bloodline, the nobility of his blood was much higher

than Luke's.

After all, Pierre's mother was the first wife, while Luke's mother, Allison, was merely a mistress.

Luke was a mistress' son, but he was running such a big company. At the same time, he was sitting on a sofa that

cost a few thousand dollars, but he looked so comfortable sitting on it. It made Pierre feel sick.

"Mr. Pierre, I need you to hurry up, then. Besides, I'd like to give you a suggestion." Luke clenched his hands

together and placed them in front of his jaw, sizing Pierre up.

"Are you going to teach me how to find that person? There's no need to. I believe my men can figure it out." Pierre

gave Luke a dirty look. He did not need Luke's kindness, and he knew that Luke would not give him any good

suggestions either.

Luke was not surprised that Pierre would reject his offer.

Luke looked at Pierre's gloomy face and said, "Perhaps you may consider telling me who you got the bidding

document from. It'll make things much easier."

Luke believed that Pierre played a leading role in this matter. After all, Pierre's employees were mostly fresh

graduates who had just stepped into the society except for his assistants. Those people would not have the chance

to know anyone from the Island of Despair.

Luke wanted to give Pierre another way to settle things easier. He wanted to find out the identity of the person who

was manipulating Luca to carry out further investigations.

“Mr. Crawford, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand you?" Pierre curled his lips. At the end of the

day, everything that Luke had done was to find out who was the one against him.

The more Luke wanted to know who it was, the more Pierre wanted to keep his mouth shut.

Firstly, if Pierre told him the truth, that would mean he admitted that he had partnered up with someone else to

steal the bidding document. He would end up in deep trouble.

Secondly, he did not want Luke to get what he wanted. He felt great to see Luke being kept in the dark.

Moreover, Abel was not someone Pierre could offend, and Pierre was aware of that. Although he was fooled by Abel

twice, he dared not to mess with him.

The expression on Luke's face was icy cold. Luke could tell Pierre had no intention of telling him about it.

Percy had used the hard way on Pierre before. Now, Luke was doing it the easy way. If nothing worked on Pierre,

then he could not blame Luke for making things difficult for him in the future.

Luke leaped to his feet and locked his cold eyes on him. "Mr. Pierre, you'd better bring that person to the police

station as soon as possible. I don't have that much patience. If I don't receive any updates on this matter, I'll issue a

press release to the media that you stole my bidding document and submitted it."

"I refuse to believe that you'd have the guts to do something like that," Pierre said with a cold expression on his

face. If Luke did such a thing, he would be telling the public that he had made an enemy of the Mallory family.

"You have to understand what matters the most to Old Master Mallory. It's not his grandsons, or you," Luke

reminded him with a cold voice.

The biggest difference between Old Master Mallory and Old Master Crawford was how much they valued their

family.

Percy insisted on getting together with Nina, and Old Master Mallory was against it. He thought Percy would be

embarrassing the Mallory family, and he always tried to do something about it. Madam Mallory took action openly

and went aboveboard, while Old Master Mallory was pulling the strings behind the scenes.

Now, Old Master Mallory realized Percy was the most suitable person to become the successor. Pierre was not

capable enough, and that was why the old master dared not to leave the company to Pierre even after he found

out that Percy and Nina were engaged.

He could not take the risk. The mess Pierre had caused was not completely solved yet.

Luke put his hands in his pockets and shot him a cold glance. Pierre's reputation would be ruined if he announced it

to the public. Old Master Mallory might draw a line between Pierre and the Mallory family for the sake of their

interests.

At the same time, Mallory Corporation would surely be taken over by Pierre. It was unlikely that it would change no

matter whether Pierre married Nina or not.

If it were not for Luca, Luke would never have given Pierre another chance. He would make sure Pierre got what he

deserved and destroyed his company.

However, he needed to find out who was manipulating Luca now. That was why he did not act on impulse.

Percy understood him as well.

Luke's words made Pierre's face turn green at once.

Pierre knew very well what Luke was talking about. If Pierre's reputation was ruined, he would become the

abandoned son of the Mallory family.

The company would still be in Percy's hands regardless of everything that he did, including getting engaged to Nina.

Meanwhile, Pierre would lose his company and everything he had.

Perhaps Madam Mallory would pity him, but what could Madam Mallory do for him?

Pierre made up his mind. He would never let such a thing happen to him!

“Don't worry. I'll find out who it was and bring them to the police." Pierre left with a sulky expression on his face.

Old Master Mallory's assistant shook his head helplessly as he watched Pierre leave angrily without showing any

magnanimity as the second young master of the Mallory family.

He was way too spoiled.

The assistant looked at Luke and apologized, "I'm sorry, Mr. Crawford. Mr. Pierre came here to apologize to you

today."

In the end, Pierre did not look sorry at all and even gave Luke attitude.

"He doesn't feel sorry at all." Luke turned and looked at the door. Pierre must have felt threatened. Luke only had to

ask someone to follow him to see what he was going to do next.

"Yes, I'm terribly sorry about that. I'd like to apologize on behalf of him." Old Master Mallory's assistant lowered his

head and apologized to Luke for Pierre.

Luke looked the assistant in the eye and shook his head. "It's not your fault or Old Master Mallory's fault. Please

send my regards to Old Master Mallory."

"I will." The assistant nodded and left too.

Luke looked around the lounge. Honestly, it was his first time stepping into this lounge. The funding for the

housekeeping department had always been lesser. That was why the lounge looked so humble.

However, it was a great place to receive guests like Pierre.

Jason stood there and saw Luke looking around the lounge. He asked in a low voice, "Boss, do we need to ask the

manager of the housekeeping department to clean up this place?"
