"Mm." Old Master Mallory continued to study the bidding document without looking up.Mr. Bennet left with his teacup, came back, and served him the re-brewed warm tea.Old Master Mallory was still looking at the bidding document.Upstairs.As soon as Pierre walked to the second floor, he could not help but ask Madam Mallory, "Is it true that Percy and Nina are engaged?"Madam Mallory frowned when she heard Pierre's anxious tone. "They’ve announced the engagement. It’s happening. He hid the news from the family, so Old Master Mallory is fuming.""You should’ve sent someone to keep an eye on him. Maybe you could’ve stopped it." Pierre clenched his fists."How did you expect me to do that? Mallory Corporation is in his hands. It’s not easy to keep an eye on him. Besides, even when we arranged for the Johnston woman to be his partner, he ended up messing up their family. Everyone in A City knows that he loves that b*tch. No one dares to try anything because of what happened to the J
The atmosphere in the living room turned chilly almost instantly.Old Master Crawford stared coldly at Old Master Mallory and could not help but sigh. "When you and I used to be in the corporate world, you were so shrewd. How did you become a different person after you retired?"Old Master Mallory snorted coldly as he knew that Old Master Crawford was secretly mocking him. "You said that this bidding document was prepared by Luke. What evidence do you have?"Old Master Crawford had been waiting for him to say that.He held out his hand and said, "Glasses."Zander quickly placed the glasses in his hands.Old Master Crawford put on his glasses and flipped over the bidding document. "You want evidence? I'll give it to you now. Don't say that I wronged your precious grandson."Old Master Mallory frowned. Old Master Crawford's reaction made it seem like there was some evidence in the bidding document that could prove that what he said was true."Show me what you’ve got. If you find
Pierre finally understood why Percy chose to stand on Luke's side even in front of Old Master Mallory.That was because Luke had left his logo on the design draft.Luke had seen the contents of the bidding document in M Group, so Pierre was certain that Luke had plotted against them and made sure that his employees would not notice what he did.Although Luke did not intend to go after him, he got looped into it.‘Damn that Abel! He deceived me twice in a row, and now, he has caused me so much trouble!’Pierre put on his coat. He knew he could not do anything to Abel.He did know what organization Abel led. The phone number Abel gave him was no longer valid, so he could not get in contact with Abel. There was only one way to find him..."What are you thinking about? Hurry up and go downstairs. When you apologize later, you should be more sincere and blame it on someone in the company. Tell Old Master Crawford that you don't know anything, but since you’re the boss of the company,
Madam Mallory was not as nervous as Pierre upon hearing the news. "There’ll always be someone willing to step up if you offer enough money.""I don't have that much cash on hand now," Pierre confessed. He had already lost a lot of money to his business partners because of the closure of many industries. On top of that, he bought a bidding document from Abel and placed an order to assassinate Luke.He did not have much money on his hands now.If there was no one to help him, he would have to use the company's cash. However, at this stage, he did not need to do so.Pierre knew that Madam Mallory would not let him stoop so low."Don't worry. Go look for someone and tell me how much you need." Madam Mallory said exactly what Pierre thought she would.Madam Mallory's response was within Pierre's expectations."I'll find a scapegoat." Pierre nodded. Although the latest development was beyond what he expected, it was not impossible to solve with Madam Mallory's help.On the other hand
"Daddy, why don't you team up with me?" Rainie invited him.Since Luke did not know how to play the game, Lanie and Tommy would likely take the opportunity to bully him.Rainie wanted to help him to maintain a good image in front of their mommy."Okay." Luke agreed to his daughter's invitation and sat next to Rainie.Tommy liked this kind of warm parent-child time. He touched the dice and said, "Daddy, Rainie, let's start the game."Luca glanced at Luke. She did not expect him to skip work so that he could play such a boring game with the kids.Sure enough, he was a good father.He cared so much about the children. No matter what happened in the future, she felt at ease leaving them to him."Okay." Luca went along with the children's wishes.Tommy threw the dice and started the game.With Rainie's help, Luke played for one round and understood how to play the game.An hour later, Tommy pouted and said, "I don’t want to play anymore. Daddy is bullying me!""Is that so?" Luke
Luke and Luca walked beside Queenie, and they walked into the house together.Luke glanced around and found that Jack was not there. "Mother-in-law, where’s Jack?""He’s still at the provincial office as he has a meeting today. He’ll come back a little later. Ten minutes ago, he said he was ready to leave and mentioned that he would get a bottle of wine. He wants to drink with you tonight. Don't just stand here. Come sit and drink some tea to warm your body." Queenie said with a smile as she got them to sit down."Father-in-law has been busy. How is his health?" Luke asked, concerned. He was sitting across from Queenie."He’s been busy. There seem to be a lot of meetings going on recently, and he often comes back late. It’s considered early for him to come back at this time today," Queenie said as she made them tea.Jack was occupied likely because there was a new project in the province, or he was attending to the inspection officers from the central government.There was no new
"Father-in-law." Luke nodded at him.Luca also greeted Jack, "Hello, Uncle Jack. Long time no see.""It's been a long time, Luca. If you're free, come visit me and your Aunt Queenie more often," Jack said. He knew there was a reason why Luca did not visit often.Luke had told him about what happened to her in Russia.As such, Jack knew that Luca was in danger all the time and could not acknowledge him and Queenie as her biological parents for some reason."Okay." Luca finished writing and handed the paper to the maid. "There you go.""What's that?" When he saw that, Jack put down his briefcase and sat down near Luca."It's a few recipes for your diet and a prescription for Aunt Queenie to condition her body," Luca replied."Condition her body? What's wrong?" Jack became nervous. He and Luke asked Luca to come over to check on Queenie's pulse as an excuse. He did not expect that something would be wrong with Queenie’s body."It's nothing. I’ve been having a lot of dreams when I
Queenie did not know what was going on. She just felt that Luca’s words brought her comfort and melted all her anxiety."Bea isn't by my side anymore. I just hope Leia can get better soon." She could not help but sigh. Queenie got a headache thinking that Leia might be hospitalized.What Leia hated most was the hospital. She would not stay even if she was in a luxurious single ward.There were a lot of people in the hospital, and Leia was a famous star. She was worried that if someone saw Leia in the hospital and told Luke...Luca listened to Queenie's sigh and felt even guiltier.‘I'm sorry, Mom…’All she could do was apologize to Queenie in her heart...Upstairs, in Jack's study.Luke followed him in and closed the door."The government does intend to develop the abandoned amusement park in the western suburbs, but there are no specifics for now," Jack said."After so many years of the rumor going around, the government is finally taking action." Luke could not help but sig
