Ch. 1781..1790

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1781-“Hand me the medical report," said Johann as he stood near the window.

The doctor beside him quickly handed a pile of medical reports to Johann.

Pierre watched him slowly go through his reports and cursed, "What are you fucking bastards doing here? After all those examinations, none of you can find the cause. You even asked this person to come here. Are you trying to kill me? Just give me the painkillers. I need the fucking painkillers!"

Johann ignored what he said and continued to read the reports.

The doctor beside him explained why they could not give Pierre the painkillers. "Mr. Pierre, we don't mean to stop you from taking painkillers. But we can't find the reason why you're in pain now. We can't simply give you medicines. We might need to run some other tests on you. If you take the painkillers, it'll affect the test results and conceal the cause of the pain you're experiencing now."

Johann listened to the doctor's explanation. He deliberately took his time to read the reports in his hands.

After what Luca told him, he knew there was no need for him to check if Pierre was afflicted by a disease. He even wanted Pierre to suffer for a while more, so he read the reports slowly.

Pierre listened to the doctor's repeated explanation and yelled angrily, "Stupid doctors! You're a bunch of stupid doctors! You should be finding a way to relieve my pain."

The doctor stopped talking. The more he spoke, the more he got blamed.

Johann closed the medical reports leisurely and said something that annoyed Pierre even more. "According to the medical reports, there's nothing wrong with him."

"I'm not fucking sick. Of course, there's nothing wrong with me." Pierre wished that he could get out of the bed and punch him in the face. However, he could only curl up on the bed because of the pain.

Johann looked at him contemptuously and said, "If you're not sick, then how can you be in such pain that you have no choice but to lie here?"

"You!" Pierre glared at him.

Johann said, "A hospital is a place where doctors treat patients. Those who are lying on the ward bed are sick patients. Your situation is too complicated, and we can't find the cause to explain the pain you're suffering."

Pierre was just about to yell at him when a sudden piercing pain struck him. He had no choice but to curl up on the bed.

Johann handed the medical reports to the doctor beside him. "Since we can't find the cause, just give him painkillers."

Dr. Lance replied immediately, “Dr. Park, are you serious? If we give him painkillers now, I'm afraid—"

"I see Mr. Pierre still has the energy to insult our medical staff. It doesn't seem like there's something wrong with his health. It says so in his medical reports too. But his pain is real. I suspect that he may be dependent on painkillers. Anyway, give him the right amount of painkillers to relieve his pain first." Johann analyzed the situation for them and let those who were present think that Pierre had bad habits.

As society was too stressful these days, many people would choose to numb their nerves with painkillers to escape from their stressful lives.

Painkillers were a medication. However, when a person took too many, it would lead to a certain dependency on them.

It was just like Leia. She took too many painkillers and ended up ruining her kidney.

Pierre was about to refute Johann after he was accused of suffering from drug addiction, but he could only cry out. The pain was excruciating.

Johann shrugged his shoulders and said, “Relieve his pain first. Let's see what state he's in after the effects are gone."

"Alright." Dr. Lance thought that it was probably a good idea too. Indeed, there was nothing wrong with Pierre's medical reports.

He thought of relieving Pierre's pain first and putting the matter aside for the time being. Therefore, he asked the nurse to contact the hospital's pharmacy immediately so they could send some painkillers over.

After a while, Johann watched Pierre take the painkillers. A hint of guile flashed across his eyes. He turned around and walked out of the ward.

Now, everyone's attention was on Pierre. They were waiting to see the effects of the medicine. No one noticed that Johann had left the ward.

After Johann left the ward, he sent a message to Luca: [The pain is so terrible that Pierre doesn't even have the strength to talk. I've asked them to give him painkillers, and I misled them into making them think Pierre is probably suffering from drug addiction.]

At this moment, Luca was heading to the villa. She smiled after she received Johann's message. This time, she had successfully taught Pierre a lesson, right?

Since no one taught him how to become a normal person, she was glad to teach him.

The moment Luca returned to the villa, Luke had also received a message from Johann.

[I finally got to see your wife's tricks. Promise me that you won't piss her off in the future. Otherwise, you might end up like Pierre. He's in so much pain that he can only lie on the bed. He even eventually lost the strength to curse at others.]

Luke deleted the message quietly. He was staying together with Luca now, so he had to stay alert to prevent her from discovering that he already knew her true identity. novelbin

He stood up and headed downstairs. The children were reading their books quietly.

Luke walked toward them and said, "Don't worry, Ms. Luca will be back soon."

"Daddy, is that true?" Rainie's eyes were brimming with tears. She was crying half an ago because Luca was brought away by the police officers.

"Yes. Ms. Luca should be on her way back home now. She didn't do anything wrong. She's only cooperating with the investigation." Luke stroked his daughter's head.

After the maid brought the three children upstairs just now, they secretly headed to the balcony. They saw Luca being taken away by the police officers in the police car. They thought Luca had done something bad and that was why she was taken away by the police officers. They thought they wanted to lock her up. Hence, they hurried down to find Luke and asked him to save Luca.

It took him some effort to calm them down.

Luca walked into the living room and saw them there. She was slightly startled and said stiffly, "I'm back."

Rainie took the lead and ran to her first. She hugged her. “Ms. Luca! Sob, you're finally back.”

Luca looked at the child and turned to look at Luke with confusion. "Yes, I'm back. What's wrong?"

"They were worried that the police officers might lock you up," Luke explained with both of his hands in his pockets.

Luca smiled and squatted down to talk to the child at eye level. "I'm alright. Something happened and I went to cooperate with the investigation. That's all."

"Ms. Luca, you're not getting locked up by the police officers, right?" Rainie asked worriedly.

"No. I didn't do anything bad. Only those who do evil things will get locked up by the police officers. Don't worry." Luca stood up, held Rainie's hand, and led her to the couch to sit down.

"Ms. Luca, please don't leave us." Tommy threw his arms around her.

They all knew that although the person in front of them had a different appearance now, they were sure she was their mother. Hence, they refused to see her leave their sides.

Luca was startled for a moment. She did not expect the children to be so clingy to her.

Had she made the wrong decision by agreeing to let them stay here?

She would have to leave them one day. If she were to leave now, the children might only be upset for a while. If she left when the children has already established deep bonds with her, they would be even more upset and reluctant to part with her...

Luca's heart struggled even more at the thought of this.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1783-"I'm uncertain about that." Luca tightened her grip on the sink, refusing to obey such orders.

"If you don't do it, I won't mind destroying Luke Crawford right away." Abel threatened her. "Do you think I have no choice but to sit here and wait for you to do it? Ivana, I've been making arrangements the whole time you're carrying out your missions. Do you really think that I don't know what you're up to?"

Luca was in despair. Abel had probably obtained more information about T Corporation.

However, he did not deal with Luke right away. He thought it would be more interesting to see Luke and Luca ruin each other.

Luca's fingers grasped the marble top, and she said angrily, "I'll try my best, but I can't guarantee I'll succeed. The place is heavily guarded."

"Heavily guarded? That's for outsiders. It can't be more convenient for you to stroll in and out of there easily. Ivana, if you try to fool me again, just wait for the day I lose all my patience. By then, you can only watch helplessly as the man you love falls from the glorious altar!" Abel made it very clear.

Indeed, Luke was standing on the altar now. No one knew what would happen to him if he fell from it one day.

Abel was excited at the thought of it.

He looked forward to seeing Luke fall from the top of the food chain to the lowest ranks. He wanted him to experience that pain...

Luca clenched her fists. "There's no way I can return to the pharmaceutical company now."

"Don't worry, you'll get the chance soon. You'd better get things done for me when the time comes." Abel hung up the phone after that.

Luca listened to the busy tone from the other side of the phone. The last sentence that Abel said to her confirmed that there were people from the Island of Despair working in Watson Biopharmaceuticals.

That was what a devious person like him would do.

To deal with Luke and ruin him, Abel would never rely on her alone.

Luca's hands could not help but tremble at the thought of Abel's pawns who might have been arranged to work at Watson Biopharmaceuticals and T Corporation.

What should she do?

What could she do to make Luke realize that his working environment was not as peaceful as he thought? How should she tell him that there was looming danger everywhere around him?

“Ms. Luca? Ms. Luca?" Rainie's voice came from the bedroom.

Luca snapped back to her senses and turned off the tap. She pushed the door open and exited the washroom. "What's wrong, Rainie?"

Rainie looked at her with her bright and beautiful eyes. "Ms. Luca, am I disturbing you?"

"No, you're not. What's the matter?" Luca concealed her complicated feelings. Rainie had inherited her attentiveness from her. If she showed a hint of uneasiness on her face, the child would most certainly notice it.

The cruelty of the adult world should not affect the children.

Rainie took the initiative to hold Luca's hand.

Luca felt something being stuffed into her palm. She lowered her head and looked at it. It was candy.

"Is this..." She looked at the child, puzzled.

"Ms. Luca, you gave this to me back then," said Rainie. "Even though you haven't said anything about it, I can sense that you're feeling troubled. I don't know what's troubling you, but Mommy told us that we should eat sweet candy when we're feeling upset. Everything will be better after that!"

Luca stared at the child and glanced at the candy in her hand. She asked, "Rainie, do you miss your mother?"

"Yes. I miss Mommy every single day, but we know she has her own reasons, so we don't blame her for leaving us." Rainie looked at Luca with a determined look in her eyes.

Did they all think so?

"Ms. Luca, we're still young. We don't know much about the complicated world of adults, but we like you very much. I hope you won't be mad at us if we've done anything wrong. We want you always to be by our sides." Rainie took the initiative to hold Luca's hand.

Luca's voice was getting hoarse, "Is that what you really think?"

"Yes." Rainie nodded.

Luca looked at the sensible look on the child's face. A child like her who was born into a prestigious family like the Crawford family should be treated like a little princess. She should have nothing to do with the cruel adult world out there.

It was because she should be protected well.

However, Rainie was forced to grow up because of her. Luca was heartbroken to see the child like this.

"I'm not going anywhere. It's late. Hurry up and go to bed. Aren't you accompanying your dad back to Crawford Manor tomorrow?" Luca comforted Rainie. Luke was going to bring the children back to Crawford Manor for dinner tomorrow.

Rainie nodded and pointed at the bed. "Ms. Luca, take a seat."

Luca sat down at the bedside as she wished.

"Muacks!" Rainie leaned closer to her and kissed her on the cheek. Then, she waved her hand and said, "Goodnight, Ms. Luca. I'll see you tomorrow."

"Goodnight." Luca watched the child leave as she walked her to the door. She only closed her bedroom door after she watched Rainie head back into her bedroom.

Rainie's kiss.

Luca touched her face. Previously, when she put Rainie to sleep, she would also give her a goodnight kiss and say goodnight to her.

Time had not taken these away from her...

Other than missing the opportunity to see the children growing up, she had yet to find out if there were some other regrets.

Luca sat on the bedside and looked at the candy in her hand. She opened the wrapper and put the candy in her mouth.

The children loved this candy.

Luca let out a sigh as the candy melted in her mouth. Her phone rang at this moment.

It was Mo Stone's phone number.

Luca suddenly recalled what Abel had told her on the phone. He said the chance would come soon.

She was currently doing experiments at T Corporation now. Hence, there was no excuse or reason for her to return to Watson Biopharmaceuticals. However, Mo had taken the initiative to contact her now.

Was Mo Stone the one Abel had arranged to stay by Luke's side?

Luca dared not let her suspicions run free like this. She cleared her throat and answered the call. “What's the matter, Mo?"

"Dr. Craw, I'm sorry to call you at this hour." Mo apologized without saying anything else.

Luca thought of testing whether or not Mo Stone was one of Abel's people, but she would certainly realize what she was trying to do.

Luca had no choice but to observe first. She could not let Abel find out what she wanted to do behind him.

"It's alright. I'm not asleep yet. What's the matter?" Luca sounded calm.

Mo asked in a careful tone, "Dr. Craw, may I know if you're available tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow's Sunday. I should be available. What's the matter?" Luca noticed that she had yet to tell her the purpose of calling her. She thought that it must be a professor who asked Mo to make this call.

"Can you come back to Watson Biopharmaceutical? We're facing some difficulties with Dr. Albus's research here, so I'd like to ask for your help," Mo stated her purpose.

Luca frowned. "Are you the one who wants me to go back? I don't think it's a good idea for me to intervene with Dr. Albus' research."

"No, Dr. Albus asked me to make the call. He's the one who's asking for your help," Mo replied immediately.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1784-Luca fell silent.

Even though she had yet to find out what the matter was, she was pretty sure that this had something to do with Abel.

However, was the spy Dr. Albus, the researchers under him, or Mo Stone?

Mo realized Luca had not answered, so she asked carefully, “Dr. Craw, will it be inconvenient for you?"

Luca snapped back to her senses. She did not test Mo and just said, "No, I'm just surprised to hear that. After all, I was never involved in Dr. Albus' research before this."

"Actually, Dr. Albus' research is already at the clinical stage, but we've encountered some difficulties. It has been troubling us for a week, and we've already asked everyone we could. You know as well that every professor is busy with their own research. Even though Dr. Albus asked for their help, they can't spend too much time helping him solve the problems," Mo explained the current situation to Luca helplessly.

Luca understood. She was only slightly surprised. "Dr. Albus' research has already reached the clinical stage?"

"Yes."

"Then why didn't they move to another lab?" Luca knew the policy was meant for her. Luke did that to restrain her from leaving T Corporation so that it would be convenient for him to keep an eye on her.

However, the policy was already implemented, so it was unlikely that it was not exercised in the company.

Since Dr. Albus' research had already reached the clinical stage, why had they not moved to the office building of T Corporation?

"It's because someone from the headquarters told us that every floor is occupied, so there's no place for us. That's why they asked Dr. Albus to continue his research here," Mo replied.

Luca had been busy with her work, and she did not notice the situation in the office at all. It seemed like Luke had already thought about it when he arranged for her to move to another lab.

"I got it. Can you tell me what's the situation over there with Dr. Albus?" Luca asked.

Mo paused for a moment. "I can't explain it on the phone. I have a document with me now. Why don't I send it to you? You'll be able to figure it out when you read it." "Alright. I'll give you an answer after I learn about the difficulties you're facing now." Luca did not know if the issues they were facing were within her capabilities to solve. Besides, she wanted to find out who Abel had placed in the company.

There were many people on the Island of Despair. Even though she was there for three years, she was still unable to recognize all of them.

Furthermore, all of this was Abel's plan. Naturally, he could separate his subordinates as he wished. They would not know each other's identities unless they were given the antidote at the same place and time.

"Alright. I'm sending it to you now," replied Mo as she sent the document to Luca's email. “Dr. Craw, I've sent it. Have you received it?"

Luca walked to her desk and glanced at her laptop screen. "Yes, I've received it. Let me take a look at it first."

"Alright. I'll be waiting for your call." Mo took the initiative to hang up after that.

Luca downloaded the attachment on her laptop. Then, she opened it and read the contents.

It was mainly about the research problems that they were facing when they were preparing for the clinical experiment.

Luca frowned when she saw the chemical formulas. Sure enough, they were complicated. Still, she was taught by Shanks, after all. These were not considered difficult for her.

She could help...

The most important thing was what Abel had told her. If she refused to help, Dr. Albus would definitely not say anything about it. However, the one who was secretly working for Abel would do his job and inform Abel about it.

At that time, she would still be the unlucky one.

Hence, she had to agree no matter who was behind this.

Luca glanced at the time. She sent a message to Mo: [I'll go over there tomorrow.]

Mo Stone replied soon after: [Alright. Thank you, Dr. Craw. See you tomorrow.]

After Luca read Mo's reply, she called Amur.

When he answered the call, he was in a noisy environment. "Amur, where are you?"

It was already 11 at night. Why was he still wandering outside? Judging from the noisy music in the background, it seemed like he was at a bar.

"I'm at a bar carrying out my mission." Amur walked through the crowd, heading to the bar's entrance. He unconsciously lied to her.

Amur was not carrying out a mission. He simply felt uncomfortable at the thought of Luca staying together with Luke now, so he could not fall asleep. Hence, he came to the bar for a drink.

Luca frowned. He had just come back not long ago, yet Abel had already assigned him another mission?

That was not possible. Those who had just accomplished their missions would have at least a week of rest.

"Are you really carrying out your mission?" Luca confirmed with him. Amur seldom drank when he was on the island.

Sometimes, some people would encourage him to join them for a drink. However, he would always reject them by telling them that he had to keep his mind clear.

She could even count how many times she had seen Amur drinking with both of her hands in those three years.

"Yes." Amur paused for a moment and decided to continue to lie to Luca. He had no idea how he should tell her about his feelings.

Luca would not be able to understand his feelings nor the reason he had been acting this way. It was because she had been treating him as her younger brother the entire time.

“Why aren't you sleeping yet? It's late.” Amur walked out of the bar and listened to the noise from her end. He did not hear anything other than her voice.

Luke was not sleeping with her in the same room...

Amur was secretly rejoicing for a moment. They were only staying together under the same roof. They were not close enough to sleep in the same room yet.

Did that mean he still had a chance if he continued to be considerate to Luca and protect her?

Luca remembered what she wanted to tell him and quickly said, "Oh yes. I suspect one of Abel's people is working in Watson Biopharmaceuticals. But I don't know who it is yet. I'd like you to help me to find out who it is. I need to know who's that person to get the upper hand."

"Did Abel assign you another mission?" Amur asked.

"He's always been assigning me missions all this time. But I'm still currently in a passive position now. Those people he arranged probably know about my existence and my mission, but I know nothing about them.." Luca was helpless. She could investigate the matter herself, but she was quite occupied now. How could she possibly have the time to do all these?

Unless she sacrificed her sleep.

"You only have to carry out the mission as he said. It's the same no matter what kind of mission it is." Amur reminded her.

"Amur, you know what he means to me. I really don't want to hurt him, but I'm left with no choice now. I have to listen to what Abel says. Still, that doesn't mean I'm going to do everything as I'm told. I want to know who those people are, and I want to know what their missions are. That's how I can turn my passive position into an active one. Also, it's to minimize the harm that Luke will face in the future," said Luca. Luke was Nyla's father, and she thought Amur would understand her.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1785-Amur did understand her situation. However, he had feelings for Luca, which was why he disagreed with what she was doing now.

"Haven't you considered that we can't fight against the whole Island of Despair if it's only you and me?" Amur reminded her.

It did not matter if he was discovered. The worst they would do was throw his body into the ocean. However, Luca had so much to lose. Was she really going to take the risk for Luke, that useless man?

What would happen to Nyla if something happened to her?

A little girl growing up on the Island of Despair. There was no doubt what kind of person she would become in the future if she was left alone there.

That was why Nyla needed Luca's company.

"I'm sorry. That was rather sudden..." Luca was startled. She did not expect Amur, who had always supported her, to be against it so much.

Sure enough, judging from Abel's power and influence, not everyone dared to stand against him.

Amur listened to Luca's tone and let out a sigh. "Forget about it. There's no point talking about this now. I'll help you look into Watson Biopharmaceuticals and also T Corporation. I'm guessing Abel must have placed his people in both companies. I'll try to track them down and get their identities."

Luke was a capable man, but he had so many companies under him. He was not responsible for the recruitment either, so it was easy for Abel to arrange for a few of his men to join Luke's companies.

Once those people who had gone through the training on the Island of Despair were recruited by Luke's companies, they would rely on the abilities they had attained during their training to help them

excel in their work and get promoted.

Those who relied on their capabilities alone without being affected by the others would not arouse Luke's suspicion.

"Thank you, Amur." Luca did not expect he would change his mind to help her.

"You can't fight Abel alone. I don't want to see Nyla losing her mother at such a young age," Amur replied stubbornly on purpose.

Luca knew he cared about her. When she met him for the first time, she knew she had to save this lad.

"I have to thank you no matter what. It's late. Don't drink too much. Get some rest. I have something to do tomorrow. I'm going to sleep first." Luca hung up the call after that.

Amur felt melancholic while he listened to the busy tone coming from the other side of the phone. Even though he lied to her, she was definitely able to tell. Why was she unable to see Luke's true colors, then?

Luca hung up the phone. Someone knocked on the door when she was about to sleep.

She walked to the door. She saw Luke standing outside the door and was startled for a moment. “Mr. Crawford?"

"I was thinking of getting a glass of water for myself, but I saw that the lights in your room were still switched on. Why aren't you sleeping yet?" Luke asked.

Luca looked at the coffee mug that he was holding in his hands. He always used different cups for coffee and water. Luke was holding a coffee mug at this hour. He probably wanted some coffee...

"I'm going to sleep." She did not expose him.

Luke nodded. "Goodnight."

As Luca watched him turn around, she took a deep breath and could not help but say, "Mr. Crawford, drinking coffee at this hour is bad for your health."

Luke had her back turned to her, and he gave a faint smile. She still remembered all the small details about him as well as his habits.

"I might have to stay up all night," said Luke.

"It's bad for you to drink coffee even if you're staying up all night. It burdens the body. I remember there's some milk in the fridge. Why don't I heat it for you?" Luca could not put up with it. She refused to see him drink coffee to keep himself awake all night.

"Sure," Luke said nothing more than that. He handed her the coffee mug.

Luca took it from him. She knew that she had slightly given herself away just now.

After all, Luke claimed that he was going to get water, but she pointed out that he wanted coffee instead.

She could not be bothered that much, however.

She went down the stairs with the mug in her hands. Luke watched her figure disappear down the stairs. He turned around and walked into his bedroom, waiting for his milk.

Luca was still the woman she used to be. She remembered every little detail about him, and she was willing to make him a glass of warm milk this late at night.

Luke smiled. He would love to hold her in his arms and have a hot make-out session with her if he was allowed to do that.

Luca strolled to the kitchen, took out the milk, and put it in the microwave to heat it. Then, she poured the milk into the mug.

She looked at the milk in the mug and shook her head. She felt like she had made a mistake.

However, this meant Luke would not be drinking coffee tonight. He would be able to sleep for a while after he finished his work later. That would be great.

Luca headed to the second floor with a mug of milk. She knocked on Luke's bedroom door.

The door was not closed as though he had left it open for her. When she was standing at the door, she was able to see the man who was busy with his work.

Luke lifted his head to look at the person in front of him and said, "Come in."

Luca placed the coffee mug on his table.

Luke chuckled when he saw the steaming milk in the coffee mug.

Luca heard this and could not help but ask, “Mr. Crawford, what are you laughing at?"

Luke lifted his head. His deep eyes concealed his love for her as he calmed his emotions. "I suddenly thought of my wife."

Luca's hand shook a little, and she took a step back unconsciously.

"Why?"

"Previously, whenever I had to stay up at night to work, she would snap at me if she saw me drinking coffee. Then, she would pour the coffee out and pour me a glass of warm milk instead, just like what

you did." Luke looked at her as he recalled the plain yet sweet memories of the times he spent with Bianca in the past.

Luca unconsciously turned her face away, pretending to look at the books on his bookshelf instead. "Mrs. Crawford must have thought that drinking coffee at night is bad for your health too. She did that because she was worried about you."

"Are you the same too?" Luke picked up the mug.

Luca pretended she did not understand what he meant. "Same as what?"

"You're concerned about my health too, right?" Luke asked.

Luca's heart trembled, and she deliberately put a serious expression on her face. "Mr. Crawford, I have some medical knowledge, and I think drinking coffee at night is bad for your health. That's why I got you some milk instead. And in this sense, both Mrs. Crawford and I know that drinking coffee at night is bad for your health. However, it's because I have some medical knowledge that I can't bear to see others ruin their health. Meanwhile, Mrs. Crawford was simply concerned about your health."

As he listened to her, it became clear that she did not want him to misunderstand her.

Luke felt helpless. When would she stop pretending?

"Is that it?"

"Of course. Oh, Mr. Crawford, I'm heading to Watson Biopharmaceuticals tomorrow." Luca noticed that there was something wrong with their subject of conversation, so she took the chance to change the subject.

"Why are you going there?" Luke asked.

"Dr. Albus needs some help for the clinical stage of his research. That's why I'm going there to see if I can lend a hand," Luca explained.

Luke was surprised that she was willing to help others.

At first, he disagreed with the idea of her helping someone else. However, considering that Watson Biopharmaceuticals was one of his assets, it seemed weird if he was against it. It was normal for colleagues to help each other in the workplace. He had no choice but to nod his head and reply, "Sure."

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1786-Luca found an excuse to leave his bedroom after Luke agreed and nodded. She even helped him to close the door before she left.

Luke looked at the warm mug of milk on the table. He picked it up and took a sip of it.

He did not like the taste of milk, but he would never resist the milk that Luca brought him.

It was the same brand of milk and the same mouthfeel, but the taste was different after she heated it. He had asked Mrs. Nancy to heat milk for him before. However, it tasted different from when Luca heated it for him.

The same milk tasted different after she heated it.

Luke's eyes became gloomy as he looked at the milk in the mug. He said, “Bea, when are you coming back to me."

The following day.

Luca left the villa after she made breakfast for Luke and the children. She headed to Watson Biopharmaceuticals.

She did not have to worry about what the children would be having for lunch as they would be following Luke back to Crawford Manor later.

It had been a long time since Luca came back to Watson Biopharmaceuticals. She found the place unfamiliar now. After she walked into the building, she saw Mo, who was waiting for her in the lobby.

After she started working in T Corporation, she surrendered her access card. She did it so that she could avoid arousing any suspicion. It was also to prevent herself from getting into trouble in the future.

"Good morning, Dr. Craw." Mo let out a sigh of relief when she saw Luca. Fortunately, Luca was willing to put aside past matters and come here to help them. Otherwise, Dr. Albus would keep annoying her.

Mo was merely an assistant. Dr. Albus was having problems with his research, but he refused to take the initiative to ask for help from Luca himself. He wanted Mo, his assistant, to be the middle person. It was too troublesome.

"Good morning." Luca walked into the lobby and waited for Mo to swipe the card for her.

Mo swiped the card, and Luca stepped in.

Before Mo could begin with the pleasantries, Luca went straight to the point and asked, "Is Dr. Albus here yet?"

“Dr. Albus learned that you're willing to come over and help, so the team came to the office early in the morning. They're waiting for you upstairs," replied Mo.

Luca nodded and walked toward the elevator. "Come on. Let's not waste our time."

Mo let out a sigh when she saw how Luca was vigorous and speedy. None of the professors here had such an attitude.

Even though they would receive a handsome reward and good reputations after the drug they were researching on was launched into the market, those who were working under T Corporation were not bothered to fight for those perks. Many of them were slacking off. Without being given more incentives, they would be satisfied as long as their research progress reached the normal standards.

Hence, Mo could not help but exclaim when she met Luca again.

She trotted to the elevator and swiped the card. The elevator doors opened right away.

Both of them headed to the floor to meet Dr. Albus together.

The moment Luca saw Dr. Albus, the first thing that came into her mind was that he had lost some weight.

It seemed that he was distressed about his research.

"Hello, Dr. Craw." Dr. Albus greeted Luca more passionately than ever before when he saw her. After all, he had gotten stuck in his research. If he were to look for those friends of his for help, he would have to risk getting his research leaked. Besides, all the professors in the company were in no mood to help him. Luca was the only one who could help him at the moment.

Hence, he welcomed Luca enthusiastically.

"Hello." Luca felt indifferent toward his enthusiasm. She shot a glance at Mo, then turned to look at Dr. Albus again. She said, "Dr. Albus, I've gone through the information. Let's get straight to the point. We'll hold a meeting and discuss the next research approach, as well as how we're going to solve these problems."

"Sure. The meeting room is ready." Dr. Albus was even more surprised to see her agreeing to help him without setting any conditions.

If it were the other professors, they would certainly make demands and put Dr. Albus on the spot.

They were willing to help him, but on one condition—they wanted a share of the pie.

That was the reality of society.

Dr. Albus refused to share the fruits of his work with others. However, those professors would pressure him without considering the camaraderie they shared. They clearly did not contribute anything when his research was in its early stage, but they wanted to share his success.

He was unable to accept that.

That was why Dr. Albus was surprised when Luca agreed to come over to help him without asking for anything. At the same time, he saw Luca in a new light.

When the two of them got into the elevator and headed downstairs, Dr. Albus asked in a low voice, "Dr. Craw, are you sure you can help to solve the problems I'm facing?"

"I'm not a hundred percent sure, but I've done similar research when I was abroad. Perhaps I can help you," said Luca.

Dr. Albus' eyes brightened up when he heard that. "That's great. Thank you for helping me. Otherwise, our team would be in trouble."

Luca smiled at him. She walked out of the elevator when the doors opened.

On the other hand, in the villa.

Tommy woke up and could not find Luca. He adorably ran toward Luke and asked, "Daddy, where's Ms. Luca?"

“She went to work.” Luke moved his gaze away from the newspaper and glanced at his son.

After Luke finished the milk that Luca got him, it did not take long before he felt sleepy again. He put his work aside without a second thought and took a good night's sleep.

Tommy put his hands on his hips and asked, "Today's Saturday, right? Why is Ms. Luca working on weekends? You're not working either.”

"She went to her original company to help out a colleague. I have nothing to do with it," Luke explained to his son. He felt helpless when Tommy looked like he was about to blame him.

Tommy snorted as though he was blaming Luke for being irresponsible. "Daddy, did you bully Ms. Luca last night? Is that why she's not at home today?"

"Why would you say that?" Luke frowned when he looked at his son, who gave him a disapproving look.

"I saw you walking out from Ms. Luca's room last night. And you looked like something was bothering you," said Tommy.

"Spying on people at such a young age?" Luke lifted his head and flicked Tommy's forehead with his finger. "Stop talking nonsense, and stop imagining things. She went to help her ex-colleague. She didn't run away."

"Really?" Tommy was still doubting him.

"Yes." Luke was helpless when his own son refused to believe him. Tommy definitely got that skeptical behavior from him.

"Fine. I guess I won't get to eat Ms. Luca's cooking today." Tommy thought how unfortunate that was...

"She didn't forget about you. Breakfast is in the kitchen. Ask the maid to get it for you." Luke looked at that greedy look on Tommy's face. Luca had won the children's hearts with her cooking and maternal love.

Tommy clapped his hands happily when he heard that. "Really? Ms. Luca is awesome!"

He ran to the dining room.

Luke shook his head helplessly when he saw how happy Tommy was.

Just then, Luke's phone vibrated. He picked up his phone and glanced at it. It was a message from Percy.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1787-Percy asked Luke to send him the evidence of Pierre plotting schemes behind their backs...

Luke fell silent for a few seconds when he looked at the message. Then, he replied to him: [Okay.]

After Pierre threatened him to quit the tender by kidnapping Luca, Percy and Luke had been digging deeper into Pierre's past deeds.

Pierre was currently expanding his company, and his ventures overlapped with their two families' corporations. On the surface, it did not seem that Pierre intended to steal their business.

However, it was just a front and something Pierre did to impress the Mallory family.

After all, the Mallory family had to stand up for their family members for the sake of their reputation. If they found out that Pierre's company was affecting the interests of their family business and the Crawford family's business, they would have certainly stopped Pierre instead of supporting him.

Pierre was just putting a front for others to see.

He had been secretly doing things that were not as simple as the others thought. He had been planning quietly and building connections with others. He was waiting for the day to take over the businesses of the two families.

Luke's men had been busy collecting evidence so that Luke could deal with Pierre one day.

Now, Percy was asking Luke for the evidence. That indicated that Percy was going to declare war on Pierre.

Percy must be doing it for Nina's sake.

Everyone in the Mallory family was supportive of Pierre. Percy was afraid that his parents would oppose him for getting together with Nina. At the same time, he had to deal with Pierre. His family would not be able to understand him.

They might even get in his way.

However, if they found out Pierre was planning to destroy the foundation of the Mallory family that had lasted for 50 years, Percy might be able to get their full support. Then, it would be easier for him to be with Nina.

Percy was the same as Luke. They would sacrifice everything for love.

Luke recalled how many ill-intentioned people he had kicked away just to get together with Bianca back then. It was a difficult process.

Therefore, even when he discussed it with Percy before, the evidence in his hands was meant to be used when it was necessary to make Pierre suffer a crushing defeat. Luke thought this was the right time to reveal the evidence so that it could make things easier for Percy and Nina.

Percy and Nina had been struggling for years, and finally, they were able to get together. It was something Luca wanted to witness too. Hence, Luke sent the evidence to Percy without a second thought.

30 seconds later, Percy replied to him: [Thank you.]

[Don't mention it. We're brothers.] Then, Luke stood up and headed to the dining room.

Percy had to face the Mallory family alone. This was all Luke could do for him.

In the hospital.

Percy saved the document and said to Nina, “I've got the document."

Nina looked at the determined expression on his face and asked with concern, "Are you really going to do this?"

Nina was able to regain her strength last night before she went to sleep. Hence, she had a long talk with Percy. They talked about everything—their misunderstandings in the past, their feelings for each other now, and the expectations they had for their future.

That was when she knew that Percy was not only asking her to stay beside him. He wanted her to stay with him for the rest of his life and give her a proper status acknowledged by everyone else—that was, the title of Mrs. Mallory. novelbin

He told her that he had always wanted her to become his wife.

However, he did not get the chance to say it back then. He thought that as long as she stayed beside him, she would know his feelings for her even if he did not tell her about them. He thought they would have a happy ending someday.

Percy had no idea that Nina did not know what he felt for her back then.

Perhaps what he did was not enough for her, but when he wanted to do something more for her, the elders in the Mallory family insisted on getting him a fiancee—Madison Johnston.

There was no way Percy could reject them. It was because Nina would be the one getting hurt once he rejected them.

Percy thought Nina had feelings for him and she would not leave him easily. However, he did not expect Nina to leave him that quickly when he was forced to announce to the public that he was getting engaged to Madison.

He had a series of plans behind him, plans of what he wanted to do with Nina. However, she left him... He was left with no choice. He told himself not to go looking for Nina before he settled everything.

Then, Nina learned everything that happened next.

The plan Percy implemented was to ruin the Johnston family. It would make the Mallory family change their minds and call off their engagement. Then, he would get Nina back.

Everything was going smoothly as he had planned, except that Nina concealed her feelings and was unable to figure out her feelings for him.

Percy did not expect Pierre to have the guts to hold Nina captive either.

However, those few days when Nina was imprisoned made her figure out what she felt for Percy.

Now, they were happy to be together with each other. There was almost nothing in between them that could separate them, other than the Mallory family.

If Percy wanted to marry Nina, it was something he could do at any time.

Still, he did not want Nina to suffer after she married him. He did not want her to get bullied by the Mallory family. That was why he had to do this.

"I've decided..." Percy stood up. "I've received news that Pierre was admitted to the hospital yesterday. He got beaten up by Luca. The important members of the Mallory family are in his ward now. I'll bring this document and the evidence I've collected with me to negotiate with them.”

Nina did not know what his chances were in the negotiation this time.

Percy had talked to her about this before. He asked her if she would be willing to accept it if the price they had to pay to be together was to stop going after Pierre. She replied without a second thought.

She nodded and said, “I can accept it.”

She was more concerned about Percy compared to Pierre getting his punishment.

What Pierre was about to do could cause him to cut off ties with the Mallory family if he did not handle it well.

She was not worried about Pierre losing everything after cutting ties with the Mallory family. Pierre was capable, and he had friends. Even if he lost everything, he would still be able to stand up and fight again.

Nina just could not bear to see Pierre cutting ties with his family for her sake.

"I know what you're thinking. After all these years, I know that I can't leave you. If I have to choose between you and my family, I'll definitely choose you. Besides, we haven't gotten there yet. So, trust me, alright?" Percy looked at her with determination.

Nina nodded and grasped his hand tightly. "I trust you, but I also hope you can handle this well. They're your family, after all."

“Except for Pierre.” Percy did not see him as his younger brother anymore.

Pierre used to be overly confident in doing things back then, and Percy had always been there to help him handle the problems he caused. That was why Pierre was so powerful now.

Percy never expected that his brother whom he had always helped would become a wolf that turned on him.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1788-He could help Pierre grow, and he could also tear him down.

It was just a matter of time.

Percy still considered the Mallory family as his family, but from the moment Pierre made a move on Nina, he had stopped thinking of him as his brother.

The nurse walked in with the receipt and saw the two of them holding hands tightly. With envy in her eyes, she said, "Mr. Mallory, Ms. Langdon's discharge procedures have been completed. This is your credit card, and these are the discharge documents from the hospital."

"Thank you," Nina reached her hand out, taking the receipt and the credit card. She put the receipt in her pocket and handed the credit card to Percy. "Here."

"This is yours to keep." Percy did not take the card.

"Uh..." Nina looked at the black card in her hand. ‘How generous of him. There’s no limit to the black card. Isn’t he afraid that I’ll squander his money?’

"You’re my lover and soon-to-be Mrs. Mallory. My assets should be managed by you," Percy said.

Nina laughed out loud. The worries she had in her heart disappeared when she heard what he said. "I’m not great with managing money."

"It doesn't matter. I have a financial advisor, and he takes care of most of my investments. All you need to do is hold on to this card," Pierre said. He picked up some of Nina's items and handed them to the nurse. "Can we keep these at the nurse's station for a minute? We'll come and get them later."

"Of course." The nurse was envious. She took Nina's belongings with a smile and walked out of the ward.

Percy took her hand again and said, "Are you ready?"

"Mm." Nina nodded. Although she was reluctant to face Pierre, from the moment she admitted to herself how she truly felt about Percy, she knew that she had to face Pierre eventually. That was so that she could be with Percy forever and ever.

After all, they were brothers...

Percy was worried that she would feel pressured emotionally, so he reassured her, saying, "Don't be afraid, I'll be right beside you."

"I'm not afraid because I know that you’ll protect me." Nina smiled and walked out of the ward with him.

After what had happened, no matter how stupid she was, she knew how she felt. novelbin

If she missed out on being with Percy for worldly reasons, she would regret it for the rest of her life.

After all, Percy was her soulmate.

Her dream was simple—one house for two people, and three meals a day throughout four seasons. One of the two people would be Percy

No matter if they were rich or things were difficult, as long as Percy was there by her side, life would be sweet no matter how tough the days were.

Percy had found out from the butler which ward Pierre was in. It was downstairs.

He also knew why he was admitted to the hospital and that Madam Mallory was taking care of him.

Since they were kids, Percy, as the heir, was raised by Old Master Mallory, while Pierre was taken care of by Madam Mallory.

Therefore, there was not much brotherhood between them, except for Percy's tolerance as an elder brother to his younger brother, as well as basic family affection.

As for Madam Mallory, because she spent more time with Pierre as compared to Percy, she loved her younger son more.

The Mallory family was strict with Percy but doted on Pierre.

Therefore, with such different upbringings, the brothers had different personalities.

Percy and Nina took the elevator downstairs.

The closer she was to Pierre's ward, the more nervous Nina became. She held Percy's hand tighter and tighter.

"Don't worry, he was beaten up so badly that he can't get out of bed. He can't hurt you." Percy sensed her negative emotions and soothed her.

Nina chucked. "Beaten up? Is Luca that good?"

"You'll find out later." Percy had a rough idea of what had happened. After Nina relaxed a little, he opened the door of Pierre's ward.

Madam Mallory and Old Master Mallory were both in the ward.

Madam Mallory had no expression when she saw Percy walk in. However, when she saw the woman beside him, her expression suddenly turned sour. She could not help but shout, "Percy, your brother is injured and hospitalized. How could you only be here now? How can you call yourself his brother?" Percy's expression was blank as he replied, "Injured? The doctor didn't find any wounds on him, no? How is he injured?"

Pierre listened to him and saw the two holding hands. His gaze turned grim.

Percy not only rescued Nina from him but now walked into the ward holding hands with her.

It seemed that Luca was not making things up out of anger. They were really together...

Pierre looked at their tightly held hands and wanted nothing more than to part them.

'Nina is mine! How dare Percy take my woman?! No, I'll never allow such a thing to happen!'

"Brother, why did you bring this woman here? You know our mother doesn't like to see her." Pierre had taken painkillers, so he was in good spirits. He wanted to take this opportunity to trigger Nina as much as he could.

If Nina wanted to leave Percy, there was nothing Percy could do.

She had left him once before, so she could leave a second time.

As long as she left him, he had a chance.

"This woman? Nina is not any other woman. She's my fiancee. She agreed to my proposal last night," Percy said with a serious expression.

Nina looked up at Percy in amazement.

'Proposal? When did that happen? Didn't we just confess our feelings to each other last night?'

Even though Nina was stunned, she did not say anything. She knew that Percy did it intentionally.

Hearing that, Pierre immediately sat up and shouted, "What? You can't marry Nina!"

"Why?" Percy looked at his emotional brother with an indifferent expression. "I love her; she loves me. We're both unmarried. Why can't we get married?"

"Because—"

Before Pierre could finish his sentence, Percy interrupted him, "I can't marry her because you falsely imprisoned her?"

"That's enough, Percy! Why are you making a scene early in the morning?" Madam Mallory listened to the conversation between the two and could not help but become stern. She stood up and interrupted them, her cold gaze staring daggers at Nina.

'This bitch! What did she do to Percy?! She already promised not to continue pestering Percy back then. What's happening now?!'

"Ms. Langdon, it seems that I underestimated you. I didn't expect you to be so shameless. You promised me one thing but ended up doing another." Madam Mallory gritted her teeth, wishing that she could cut Nina into pieces.

Seeing both of her sons arguing over Nina, Madam Mallory decided in her heart that it was all Nina's fault.

"I promised you that I would leave Percy because I thought I didn't like him then." Nina looked at Madam Mallory and said calmly.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1789-"If you don't like him, why won't you let him go? Didn't I give you a sum of money? You don't want it anymore? Or... do you think it's too little? That sounds about right. A woman like you would only approach my son to get to me. Tell me, how much do you want this time?" Madam Mallory despised Nina. She took out the checkbook from her handbag and was about to write Nina a check.

"I don't need money. I didn't need it before, I don't need it now, and I won't need it in the future." Nina held Percy's hand tightly. She initially planned to stand aside and let him solve the matter on his own. However, she could not keep quiet any longer.

Since she loved him, she was willing to share weal and woe with him. They would get through hardships together. That was what true love was.

She would never back down because she was afraid.

"What do you want?!" Madam Mallory was fuming from what she said and threw the checkbook on the sofa.

"I didn't know how I felt before, so I told you that I had no interest in Percy nor did I like him. However, Pierre, your youngest son, made me acknowledge my true feelings," Nina said as she looked back at Pierre.

His face was ashen. She was unsure if it was because of his health or because he was angry with what she said. He looked like he was going to get out of bed and strangle her to death.

Nina did not know that with Pierre's temperament, he would have most certainly gotten out of bed in an instant. However, he was still half-lying on the bed.

Could it be that Luca hurt him so badly that he could not even move?

Nina admired Luca in her heart. At the same time, she was worried that he would pick on Luca once he got better.

Hopefully, when the time came, Luke would step in and help Luca...

"What do you mean..." Madam Mallory was stunned. She looked at her youngest son and found that his expression had turned ugly. She was worried it was because he was sick.

The doctor had prescribed him painkillers the day before. At first, the painkillers could only numb the pain for four hours. Although the pain was still there, Pierre, who had an active lifestyle, was able to manage it.

However, since the middle of last night, he started to feel the pain again. The pain was not subdued even after he took painkillers. The painkillers' effect was getting weaker and weaker. It was unable to keep the pain in check any longer.

The doctor had no choice but to ask him to endure it when he cried out in pain. He told Pierre to only take the painkillers if he could not deal with the pain anymore.

The consideration of the side effects from the heavy dosage had to be thrown out the window...

That was because his pain was real.

"Pierre kidnapped Nina for his selfish reasons. The police station has already followed up on this matter. Although they have yet to bring him in for questioning, based on the current progress, it won't be long until it happens.” Percy looked at Pierre, who lay on the hospital bed with a chilly expression. With Pierre's character, even if the matter was exposed, he would not tell Madam Mallory and Old Master Mallory the truth until the absolute last moment. To them, he was nothing but a fop. He could only get more of their love if he stayed out of trouble.

For as long as Percy could remember, every time Pierre got into trouble and was unable to deal with it, he would step in to help out as his elder brother. When Percy had no time or it was a time-sensitive matter, only then would Pierre ask for help from the family.

Therefore, in their hearts, although Pierre was arrogant and domineering, he rarely caused any trouble.

"What did you say? That's impossible." Madam Mallory did not believe that Pierre would be interested in someone like Nina. She was raging. "Don't frame your brother for your own desires!"

"Previously, he held Luca hostage in his villa to force Luke out of the bidding. At that time, he settled the matter by paying people off. You were so happy because he started his own business, so I didn't pursue it. This time, he learned his lesson. After he kidnapped Nina, he imprisoned her in your villa and got our former maid to take care of her. Now, that maid is in the police station. When Nina was rescued, the maid admitted that Pierre was the person behind this." Percy shook the phone in his hand and continued talking, "Luke and I have a copy of her confession. There's no reason for the maid to frame him."

"My villa?" Madam Mallory frowned and glanced at her younger son who was on the hospital bed. "Every one of my villas is taken care of by a dedicated person. If he was hiding someone in my villa, how could I not know?!"

Percy was a little disappointed when he saw that she still chose to trust Pierre instead of him. This might be the difference of not having grown up by her side.

"The villa is in your name but you gave it to him. You just haven't transferred the title yet," Percy continued. "Do you want to listen to the recording? Actually... you don't need to listen to the recording. The police are coming today."

"What the hell do you want?!" Pierre curled up. He had just felt better because of the painkillers he took an hour ago, but Percy and Nina's presence caused him to be in pain again.

Percy did not feel anything when he saw how distressed Pierre appeared. Pierre would be fine. That was what Luke told him.

Percy said, "I don't want much. I can choose not to hold you accountable, but the Mallory family can't stop me from being with Nina!"

Madam Mallory blacked out for a little after she heard what he said. ‘There are many socialites in A City. Why did he fall in love with this ordinary woman?'

It was not just Percy. According to what he just said, even her favorite youngest son was interested in Nina...

‘Were my sons bewitched?'

Madam Mallory was so angry that she did not know what to say. Old Master Mallory knew that she was worried that Percy would hurt his brother for Nina, so he stood up and firmly objected to it. "I disapprove of this relationship. "

Percy looked at Old Master Mallory. Although the old master had kept silent, Percy knew that something was up and kept his guards up.

That was because he knew that the stance of the elders in the Mallory family was the same as Madam Mallory's. novelbin

They thought that it was no big deal to sacrifice oneself as long as it was for the good of the Mallory family.

They did not see it as a sacrifice. It was just a marriage of convenience to them.

They loved Pierre so much because he would do exactly as they said. He had agreed without a second thought when they arranged his marriage.

"Grandpa, even if you disapprove, I'll still be with Nina." Percy expressed his stance.

Old Master Mallory squinted, his cloudy eyes looking at Nina grimly.

Even though he had been out of the corporate world for many years, his strong aura was still present.

Nina felt a little overwhelmed and breathless.

Old Master Mallory said, "If you insist on being with this woman, I can't guarantee what she'll have to face in the future. Percy, you know as well that even though I've retired, I still have my ways."

Old Master Mallory's aura was like a storm that was brewing, pressing down on everyone below him.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1790-Percy held Nina's hand tightly. He was beside her, so she had nothing to be afraid of...

"No matter what the consequence, I want to spend the rest of my life with her. She's my soulmate. No one can change my mind about that."

The corners of Nina's eyes were moist when she heard how unyielding his tone was.

No matter what she had to endure in the future, what Percy just said was enough to sustain her through it all. There would be no more misunderstandings and differences moving forward because she realized that this man loved her as much as she loved him.

"What if you had to give up everything that comes with being a Mallory?" Old Master Mallory was cross seeing how determined Percy was.

The Mallory family was the source of all his glory. The old master did not think that Nina would still opt to be with Percy if he lost everything.

Percy did not waver. "Even if you take everything from me, I still want to be with Nina."

Old Master Mallory slammed his cane hard on the floor. 'Does he think that it's just a threat?!'

Old Master Mallory assumed that Percy was fearless because he was brought up by his side and trained to be the heir since young. He thought that if he took away everything and made Percy realize that he could give the title to Pierre at any time, Percy would be back down.

As such, Old Master Mallory said stubbornly, "Do you think you're the only one who carries the Mallory surname?"

Pierre's eyes twinkled. Although the pain was getting on his nerves and his will, Old Master Mallory's words lifted his spirits.

Although he no longer needed the Mallory family's support, it would be great if he could have all of the Mallory family's assets under his name.

Who would say no to getting more wealth?

If not for Old Master Mallory intending to give everything to Percy in the beginning, Pierre would not have started a new company to secure his future.

Percy knew what Old Master Mallory meant, but he was confident in himself. He could give Nina a stable future with or without the Mallory family.

"Even if you give Pierre everything I have, I'll still choose to be with Nina. Without the Mallory family, I'll have to start all over again. But that doesn't mean my life will be over." Percy realized that as long as Nina was with him, his life would not be coming to an end any time soon.

"You... You!" Old Master Mallory was raving mad and stared at Percy with somber eyes. He did not notice any shift in emotions from Percy. The strong will in his eyes remained the same.

Percy was brought up by him since he was a child. He could see whether Percy was being truthful at a glance.

Percy was absolutely serious.

'He's willing to give up his life for a woman who can take everything from him at any time?!' Old Master Mallory's resentful gaze fell on Nina. The grandson he had always been proud of had been bewitched by this woman!

"Okay, in that case, I'll go to work tomorrow on Monday and hold a general meeting to revoke your position in front of everyone. Moving forward, Pierre will be responsible for everything to do with Mallory Corporation!" Old Master Mallory made a decision in a fit of anger.

Percy's expression remained the same. He looked at Old Master Mallory and took out his phone.

"You don't have to make things so troublesome. I'll resign on Monday. However, I urge you to reconsider the person in charge."

"What do you mean?!" Old Master Mallory was so angry that his face turned blue. He was fuming that Percy did not react even after threatening to have him fired. Old Master Mallory felt that his grandson was getting more and more out of control.

Percy handed the phone to him and said, "This is the evidence I've collected in the last few months. Pierre's company doesn't seem like it's infringing on the interests of Mallory Corporation, but what he's been doing makes it clear that he wants to overtake the company. If you leave Mallory Corporation in his hands, do you think Mallory Corporation will annex his company, or his company will annex Mallory Corporation?"

Old Master Mallory's expression turned even uglier. He took Percy's phone. It took some time for him to go through the evidence as he did not have his reading glasses with him.

Pierre's expression changed in an instant when he heard what Percy said. "What nonsense! I didn't do anything!"

"I can't fake the evidence. Everything that you've done is part of your plan to annex Mallory Corporation. If you're handed Mallory Corporation, what will you do next?" Percy faced Pierre head-on. Their brotherhood no longer meant anything to him.

Ever since Pierre did such an outrageous thing to Nina, he did not see him as his younger brother. "Don't accuse me of something I didn't do!" Pierre's expression was ugly. He wanted to get up and argue with Percy, but he had no strength. He forced himself to get up. In the end, he was just a joke to Nina.

"Everything I've done is for Mallory Corporation. If you want to buy my company, I'll agree to the sale without saying a word," he continued to quibble.

He had been careful. He was unsure how Percy knew about it.

He could not pinpoint where he went wrong and how Percy got evidence of what he did no matter how hard he tried to recall.

Pierre would never allow something to go wrong seeing that Mallory Corporation was that close to being his.

Percy did not say anything. He just waited for Old Master Mallory to finish reviewing the evidence.

After Old Master Mallory went through everything, he stared at Pierre sternly.

Madam Mallory was calling Nina every name in the book in her heart. At the same time, she was observing everyone's reactions. Old Master Mallory's reaction gave her a bad feeling. Perhaps based on the evidence, Pierre had indeed done something awful.

Nevertheless, no matter what he did, as long as Mallory Corporation wanted to buy over his company, he would agree to it. He had already made the promise to Old Master Mallory.

"Dad, you can't trust this so-called evidence. Percy has been bewitched by this fiend. I bet she made up everything to confuse us all." Madam Mallory was calling Nina all sorts of names.

Old Master Mallory glared at her, his expression was impatient. "This is not your place to speak."

Madam Mallory shut up and looked at Pierre. She was unsure what he did and why Old Master Mallory was not targeting Nina.

As their mother, she wanted both of her sons to listen to her. Nevertheless, Pierre was her favorite, so she hoped that things would go well for him.

Old Master Mallory approached the hospital bed, looked at his pale grandson, and asked, "Pierre, explain yourself."

"Grandpa, what do I have to explain? Even if the evidence is true, Mallory Corporation will be on the winning end." Pierre was not sure what Old Master Mallory knew, so he made it seem that it was all in good intentions and that it was for the good of Mallory Corporation.

"Mallory Corporation is a tall tree and is sure to catch the wind. My company is there to back Mallory Corporation. When necessary, it'll merge with Mallory Corporation so that Mallory Corporation can be even stronger. Grandpa, you have to believe me."

Old Master Mallory looked at Percy.

Percy's face was expressionless. His thin lips then spat out the truth. "Everything you do is for the good of Mallory Corporation? That's what it seems like on the surface, but we both know that your ambitions go beyond that.

"Otherwise, why would you be involved in the industries that the Crawford and Holston families are in? I know you're also secretly involved in the dark market. You're saying that your company will back Mallory Corporation? I think you want to annex Mallory Corporation, or worse, drag Mallory Corporation into the abyss."
