Ch. 2601..2610

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2601-It was two a.m.

Luke ended the international video conference and took a shower in his bedroom's bathroom. Then, he headed to the master bedroom.

It was late at night, and every corner of the villa was silent.

Luke gently pushed the bedroom door open. Luca had left the desk lamp turned on for him.

The dim light lit up the darkness of the night, washing away all his weariness at that moment.

Luke gently got onto the bed and carefully lay down sideways so that he would not press on Luca's hand.

"Mhm, Luke?" Even though Luke had tried his best not to wake her up, Luca still woke up and looked at him drowsily.

“It's me. Go to sleep," Luke replied in a low voice.

Luca subconsciously leaned closer to the heat source and buried her face in Luke's chest.

Luke could feel an uncontrollable desire arousing in him as her soft body leaned closer to him.

He remembered those emotions he had been suppressing.

Luke slipped his arms around Luca's waist and asked in a low voice, "Are you busy tomorrow?"

Luca, who had yet to go back to sleep, heard Luke asking her a question. She opened her eyes slightly and pondered for a moment. Then, she closed her eyes and replied, "No."

"You're not busy, huh..." Luke drawled. He was satisfied with her answer. Then, he turned around and pinned her to the bed.

Luca opened her eyes as her heat source moved from her side to above her. She gave the man in front of her a confused look.

Luke could not bear to see the way she looked at him confusingly and the drowsiness in her eyes. However, the emotions within him urged him.

"Luke, my hand is injured." Luca was completely awake now, and her cheeks began to turn red.

"It's okay. I'll be careful. I won't hurt you." After that, Luke immediately sealed her lips with a kiss to stop her from talking.

The night sky was aglow with bright shining stars. The couple was softly whispering their love to each other.

The next day.

The maid who was transferred here from Crawford Manor had arrived at the villa when Luca woke up in the morning. The maid placed the pot pie prepared earlier by Aunt Neile into the oven and baked it.

The soy milk maker was making soy milk as well. Everything that needed to be done in the kitchen had been done.

Luca noticed that there was nothing she could help with.

“Ms. Craw, you're awake. Breakfast will be ready in 15 minutes. Why don't you wait in the living room?" The maid smiled and greeted Luca when she saw her standing at the kitchen door.

"Okay." Luca nodded and walked out of the kitchen.

Luca did not expect Luke, who was busy working the whole day yesterday, to have already arranged for a maid to come over. She woke up early in the morning without having to do anything.

Luca dragged herself to the living room wearily and sat on the sofa. She only found out why Luke asked her if she was busy or not when she woke up today.

If Luca was not busy, then he could have his way with her.

Luca picked up her phone and asked the maid working for the Norman family how Jack and Queenie were doing,

She let out a sigh of relief when the maid replied to her that everything was fine.

Luca picked up the remote control next to her, turned on the television, and switched to the news.

The news broadcast was reporting about the morning financial news.

As usual, they reported the stock market news on Friday. After in-depth analyses of the current market, they reported financial news.

"Today, an extraordinary general meeting of Mallory Corporation will be held at their corporate building. Based on the official announcement given by Mallory Corporation, the general meeting will mainly discuss the development of Mallory Corporation in the year ahead. The meeting agenda has been published on Mallory Corporation's official website this time. According to an expert..."

Luca frowned while she listened to the news.

Luca had not been paying attention to the situation of Mallory Corporation as she had been busy dealing with Matysh. She had not contacted Nina either as she was worried that Matysh would do something to Nina.

Now that she saw the news, it reminded her that today was the day Mallory Corporation would be holding the general meeting.

Luca listened to the news and noted down the meeting time.

The meeting would start around a quarter to 10.

Luca frowned. They did not want the general meeting to affect their company's stock price today, which was why they chose to hold the meeting at this hour.

Those cunning foxes hiding in Mallory Corporation would not let Percy continue to sit in the position of CEO. The reason was that Percy did not listen to them and chose Nina instead.

Luca picked up her phone and searched online for the news of the general meeting. Most of them supported Pierre.

The Mallory family was just helping Pierre gain some momentum and support from the movement.

They knew if Pierre did not have any support after he took the position of CEO, it would certainly affect the investors' confidence and it would have an influence on the stock price of Mallory Corporation.

That was why they made a show of power for Pierre on the internet. It was to build the investors' confidence in Pierre.

Luca frowned as she read those exaggerated comments. She could not help but wonder if Percy had made a move.

Why were there so few comments on the internet about him?

Even though Pierre had the Mallory family backing him up, some people supported Percy too.

T Corporation was one of them.

Hence, it was impossible for Percy to keep quiet and do nothing.

When Luca was scrolling through the forum on her phone, the maid walked out of the kitchen and said, “Ms. Craw, breakfast is ready. Would you like to have breakfast now?"

Luca glanced at the time and rose to her feet. Then, she replied, "Serve it on the table. I'll wake the kids up."

Lanie and the others had yet to come downstairs. Luca reckoned that they had not gotten back into the swing of things, so she headed upstairs right away.

Luca pushed Tommy's bedroom door open. Tommy was still in bed.

If it were during the holidays, the kids would wake up an hour later than usual. Hence, the kids had kept the habit of waking up one hour later than usual even after the holidays.

Luca walked into Tommy's room and gently patted the child's shoulder. "Tommy, it's time to get out of bed."

"Um, Ms. Luca..." Tommy opened his eyes and glanced at her. Then he closed his eyes again.

"You're going back to school today. Did you forget about that?" Luca reminded her youngest son in a soft voice. She realized how adorable he looked sleeping in.

Tommy immediately opened his eyes when he heard that. "Back to school?"

"Yes. Hurry up and get out of bed. Wash up and go downstairs for breakfast," replied Luca. She stood up, opened the closet, and took Tommy's uniform as well as some warm clothes out.

Tommy sat up on the bed and rubbed his eyes. "I forgot to set the alarm last time before I went to bed.

Ms. Luca, luckily you woke me up. Otherwise, I would've been late."

"It's still early. Go and wash yourself up." Luca smiled and held Tommy's hand as he got out of bed. "Let me check on Lanie and Rainie."

"Okay." Tommy was wide awake. He walked into the bathroom to take a shower.

Luca headed to Rainie's bedroom. Rainie had already woken up, and she was about to head downstairs.

"Good morning, Ms. Luca." Rainie gave Luca a sweet smile and greeted her when she saw her open the door.

"Good morning. Hurry up. Go downstairs and have your breakfast." Luca smiled. She could not help but exclaim how good her kids were when she saw them behaving themselves.

At the same time, Lanie walked out of his bedroom. He saw Luca standing at Rainie's bedroom door and asked, “Ms. Luca, did Rainie sleep in?"

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2602-“No, I didn't!" Rainie heard Lanie, and before Luca could answer him, she walked out of the room carrying her school bag on her back. "Tommy's the only one who slept in."

"Is Tommy still in bed?" Lanie frowned. As the eldest brother, he was responsible for waking his sister and brother up. However, Rainie and Tommy were usually on time. That was why he did not wake them up today.

"He's up and showering. The two of you head downstairs for breakfast first. Uncle Zander will send you to school after breakfast," said Luca as she urged them to go downstairs to have breakfast.

The kids nodded.

Lanie asked caringly when he walked past Luca, "Ms. Luca, is your hand alright?"

"I'm fine." Luca gave a faint smile.

Lanie said, "It's written in books that wounds easily get inflamed on the second day. Remember to head to the hospital if there's inflammation."

"Okay. I'll pay attention to it." Luca nodded. The child's concern warmed her heart.

"And don't get your wound wet," added Lanie. These were what he learned from reading the book last night.

"Thank you, Lanie. That's very kind of you." Luca let out a sigh and looked at her hand. Even though she got cut on the hand, she was chuffed to bits with her kids caring for her like this.

"Lanie intentionally looked for the book yesterday," Rainie, who stood beside her, spoke. She went to Lanie's room before she slept last night, and she saw him squatting down in front of the bookcase searching for books.

Lanie told her that he was looking for a handbook about basic medical knowledge. Some things needed to be given attention after getting injured.

Luca was a little surprised. Lanie did not read the book because he was interested in medical knowledge but because she was injured. He wanted to learn from the book.

Lanie's face turned red when he saw how surprised Luca was. He took a step forward and said, "Come on. It's time for breakfast."

Rainie turned around and gave Luca a playful wink. "Lanie is embarrassed!"

"Stop talking nonsense." Lanie heard what Rainie said and refuted it without turning around.

Rainie kept up with him happily and replied, "I wasn't!"

"You just don't understand." Lanie's face turned even redder.

''Lanie, I'm your twin sister. We have telepathy. Just say it if you're worried about Ms. Luca. No one is going to laugh at you." Rainie followed Lanie down the stairs, and their voices were fading away as they walked further.

Luca looked at her bandaged hand. She smiled and shook her head.

Then, she pushed the door open and walked into Tommy's bedroom. “Tommy, are you done yet?"

Tommy pushed the bathroom door open and walked out of the bathroom. He had finished showering and had changed into his school uniform. “Ms. Luca, I'm done."

“Great. Let's head downstairs for breakfast," replied Luca.

“Okay," answered Tommy. After he set the clock alarm, he carried his backpack and headed downstairs.

Luca and Tommy made their way down the stairs.

When they walked past the master bedroom, Luke pushed the door open and walked out of the bedroom.

Tommy smiled and greeted him, “Good morning, Daddy."

“Good morning." Luke turned to look at Luca. She did not wake him up when she woke up earlier.

"Breakfast's ready. Let's go downstairs to have breakfast." Luca knew what Luke meant with the look in his eyes. She was being careful when she got out of bed. Besides, Luke was deeply asleep, which was why he did not notice it.

Luca just wanted him to get a little more rest.

After they headed downstairs, the maid had already laid out the pot pie and glasses of soy milk on the dining table.

Lanie and Rainie sat at the dining table, waiting for the rest to come down to have breakfast together.

“Good morning, Daddy." Lanie and Rainie greeted Luke at the same time.

“Good morning." Luke sat on the head seat and looked at the pot pie and soy milk. He raised his brows and turned to look at Luca.

“Aunt Neile made it last night. The maid took it out to bake it today." Luca explained to him that she did not do anything and that the maid was the one who did everything.

“Okay. Have your breakfast," replied Luke.

The kids picked up the cutleries and took a slice of pot pie for themselves.

The maid handed the newspapers today to Luke like how she usually did at Crawford Manor. “Mr. Crawford, today's newspaper."

“Thank you." Luke immediately turned the pages to the economic section.

Luca recalled what she saw on the financial news today, and she asked a question to test him, “Oh, I saw that Mallory Corporation is about to hold an extraordinary general meeting today on the financial news broadcast just now."

“Yes. It's today," answered Luke. He owned some shares of Mallory Corporation too, and he did not manage to transfer them to Percy in time.

However, he had already signed the authorization letter to let Percy handle his shareholder rights.

“Does Mr. Mallory have confidence in dealing with this?" Luca asked again.

"I'm not sure about that." Luke took a bite of the pot pie. It did not taste as good as the one Luca made. Although it tasted good, Luke preferred Luca's version.

It was just that Luca's hand was injured now. There was no way she could cook. Hence, Luke could not be so picky either.

Luke finished a slice of pot pie and turned to the other page.

Luca became worried when she heard him say that.

She initially thought that what Percy had now would not be taken away by Pierre with Luke backing him up.

However, Luke told her that he was not sure...

Luca asked in a soft voice, "Will you attend the extraordinary general meeting, then?"

"I've signed the authorization letter. I won't be attending the meeting," replied Luke. He could only support Percy behind everyone's back. He could not show that Percy and he supported each other in front of everyone.

Therefore, Luke was only holding Mallory Corporation's shares while appearing as if he would not interfere in their company's decision.

"Then." Luca could not help but worry.

Although Nina did the right choice in choosing Percy, would it be hard for Nina if Percy lost everything he had?

Luca knew what kind of person Nina was. She was the same as Luca, and she would not give up the person she loved just because he was in deep waters. novelbin

However, if everything Percy had was taken away by Pierre, Nina would think that she was the person who caused this.

After all, the reason Old Master Mallory did this was that Percy announced to the public that he would be marrying Nina.

Nina would probably feel mentally exhausted.

Luke shifted his gaze away from the newspaper and stared at Luca.

Luca had her worries written all over her face.

If he did not know that she was actually worried about her best friend, Nina, he would think she was worried about Percy. Luke would have gotten jealous of him.

"Believe in him," replied Luke calmly. Even though Luca was not really worried about Percy, he would still feel unhappy about it.

Luca should not be paying too much attention to other men.

"The netizens on online forums are all talking about Pierre.." Luca said helplessly. This would affect the shareholders' confidence in Percy.

"Percy is preparing to bring out the big guns. By the way, you can watch the meeting live on Mallory Corporation's official website," said Luke.

"I see.." Luca did not continue to ask. She was not curious whether or not Percy had a card up his sleeve.

Everything else did not matter as long as Percy won.

She just wanted Nina to stay with him happily without getting her emotions affected.

Tommy, who sat beside them, heard their conversation and asked with curiosity, “Daddy, what's Uncle Percy's ultimate move?"

"Kids like you should be minding your own business." Before Luke could say anything, Lanie spoke first.

Tommy refuted unhappily, "Lanie, you're also a kid!"

"That's why I didn't ask." Lanie picked up his glass and finished the soy milk. Then, he stood up and said, "Daddy, Ms. Luca, I've finished eating breakfast."

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2603-Rainie was wiping her mouth with the napkin. She slightly moved the table and rose to her feet. “Daddy, Ms. Luca, I've finished breakfast too."

Tommy realized that he was the last one again. After he stuffed the last bite of pot pie into his mouth and took another two sips of soy milk, he stood up and said, "I'm done too."

"Uncle Zander is waiting outside," said Luke, telling the kids that they should head to school now that they were done with their breakfast.

"Okay. Goodbye, Daddy. Goodbye, Ms. Luca." After the three kids said goodbye to Luke and Luca, they left the villa.

Luca finished her breakfast too. She wiped her mouth, and when she was about to stand up and head to work, she heard Luke saying, "There'll be a live broadcast during the extraordinary general meeting this time. You can watch it on the internet."

"Sure." Luca nodded.

The only reason she was concerned about Mallory Corporation was because of Nina. Besides, Pierre was also Amur's target now.

If Pierre truly became the CEO of Mallory Corporation, it might be difficult for Amur to make a move.

Luca knew ever since Old Master Mallory found Mallory Corporation, he had created his own investigation and management team. This team had always been in the hands of the CEO of Mallory Corporation.

The people in this team only listened to the head of Mallory Corporation. They would only serve the person sitting in that position no matter who it was.

If Pierre had the system in his hands, it might be difficult for Amur to carry out his mission.

Luca picked up her phone and glanced at the time. Then, she said, "Luke, you don't have to ask Warren to pick me up to work next time..."

"He has to." Luke shook his head.

"Why?" Luca was surprised. Were they not finished dealing with Matysh yet? The police officers were already investigating the matter. Those people who worked together with Matysh dared not to act rashly.

"Matysh is a crazy man. Plus, he's still here." Luke turned to look at Luca's injured hand. He recalled how carefully he tried to avoid touching her hand when he made love to her last night.

Luke treasured her so much. Of course, he would never give Matysh the chance to hurt her again—not even in a million lifetimes. "And you have an injured hand now. You can't drive."

What Luke said made sense. Luca nodded and replied, "Okay."

“Warren is already waiting for you out there," reminded Luke.

"I should leave for work," replied Luca. She picked up her briefcase and headed out.

Luca came to the villa's entrance. Warren was waiting for her. When he saw her walk out of the villa, he opened the rear door and said, “Ms. Craw, please get in."

Luca bent down and got into the car.

Warren started the car engine and left.

After Luca arrived at Watson Biopharmaceuticals, she noticed that it was still early, and it was not time to watch the live broadcast yet. She brought the samples of her experimental research to the

laboratory.

Luca realized she was having some difficulties while sitting in front of the laboratory desk.

She could not wear the gloves with one of her hands bandaged. It might cause contamination of the samples.

At the same time, it would be difficult for her to move around and perform such meticulous experiments.

Rhett walked into the experiment and noticed that Luca was already sitting in front of the laboratory desk. He was slightly surprised and said, “Dr. Craw, you came in early today."

"Yeah," replied Luca casually. She was wondering if she should cut some of the bandages away to make it thinner so that she could fit into the glove.

However, reducing the layers of the bandage meant not much left would be protecting the wound.

Luca did not take any painkillers. It would hurt if she accidentally touched her wound.

“Dr. Craw, are you injured?" Rhett's eagle eye noticed one of Luca's hands was bandaged.

“I accidentally cut my hand when I was cooking at home last weekend." Luca made up a lie. She read the news on the internet yesterday. There was no news posted online about her getting injured at Norman Residence.

Luke must have asked someone to cover it up. That was why there was only news about Mr. and Mrs. Norman getting injured.

“You accidentally cut your hand..." Rhett wondered as he stared at her bandaged hand. Luca must have accidentally cut either the back of her hand or her palm.

He could not understand how it happened. It was not like Luca was using her hand as the cutting board. How did Luca cut those parts of her hand if she was just chopping vegetables?

"Dr. Craw, you're injured. It must be inconvenient for you to wear gloves." said Rhett. They would always wear a pair of gloves to protect their skin and the samples when they were doing experiments in the laboratory.

The gloves were the same grade as medical gloves.

They could provide excellent chemical resistance.

“Yes.." Luca had no choice but to turn and look at Rhett. “Mr. Link, can you help me?"

“Of course." Rhett heard Luca and walked toward her.

Luca stood up, signaling to him that she was letting him have her seat. novelbin

Rhett suppressed his excitement and sat on the chair. Helping Luca handle her tasks indicated that he could learn something new.

Rhett was dissatisfied with what he had learned so far. He was eager to gain more knowledge. “Dr. Craw, how can I help you?"

"Make a 1000-fold dilution for this sample." Luca pointed at the sample.

Rhett carefully extracted a drop out of the sample and diluted it according to the standard operating procedure.

“Place it here." Luca pointed at the chemical analysis equipment beside her.

Rhett nodded and placed the diluted sample into the equipment.

Then, Luca set up the program of the equipment. Next, they only had to wait for the equipment to finish its analysis.

Luca pointed at another tube and said, "This one. Please extract half of the liquid from the tube."

Rhett opened the tube Luca was pointing at. He realized it was a dark red-colored solution when he extracted it. Then, he asked, "Is this blood?"

"Yes." Luca nodded. It was her blood.

"Is it the blood of the lab's mice?" Rhett extracted half of the blood from the test tube.

"It's mine," answered Luca.

"Your... blood?" Rhett was startled. He did not expect Luca to use her own blood to experiment.

"I didn't want to perform any unnecessary steps. That's why I used my blood for the experiment. You have to keep today's experiment a secret," said Luca while she picked up a straw with her left hand and extracted some of the solution from the sample that had not been diluted. She put it in the test tube filled with blood.

"Okay, I will," Rhett promised.

However, he still thought that it was unbelievable when Luca used her blood to do experiments.

Luca skipped the step to experiment on animals. She performed human experimentation right away.

The point was, the blood she drew from her body would be wasted if the experiment failed. That was why they had to apply for human blood experimentation with the company when they needed to use it for experiments.

The company would send an application to the blood bank and get the samples from there.

Luca simply skipped the procedures by using her own blood.

Luca noticed Rhett was in a daze. She frowned and asked, "Mr. Link, what's on your mind?"

"No, Dr. Craw. I was thinking that your blood will be wasted if the experiment doesn't go well," said Rhett in a low voice.

Luca knew what he meant.

However, this time, the experiment needed her blood. No poison would be found in other people's blood.

Other than that, she needed Amur's blood for her experiment too.

Luca felt troubled at the thought of this. What reason should she use to get Amur's blood?

The experiment had not succeeded yet. She did not want Amur to find out about it first. That was why she was not planning to tell him that she was doing this experiment.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2604-Luca felt troubled, and she said, “Make a 1000-fold dilution for this sample and place it in another piece of equipment."

"Okay." Rhett thought it would be better for him to keep quiet when he noticed Luca pulling a long face. He completed everything as he was told.

Luca watched the two pieces of equipment that were running. She just had to wait for the results now.

"Dr. Craw, is there anything else I can help with?" Rhett asked.

"No. That's all," answered Luca. She noticed there were a few samples on the laboratory table Rhett had chosen just now. Then, she asked, "Are you doing some research too?" novelbin

"Yes. I'd like to try doing some research before we take up a new project." Rhett took the gloves off and scratched the back of his head while smiling embarrassingly.

His research was not on Luca's level compared.

Even so, Rhett still wanted to give it a try.

"Great. Then you'll be in the lab the entire time, right?" Luca asked again. She glanced at the time. The extraordinary general meeting of Mallory Corporation would begin soon.

"Yes." Rhett nodded and waited for her next instruction.

"Please send the report to my office right away after the result is out," instructed Luca. She had become more cautious when the previous analysis report was seen by the other researchers.

Still, Rhett was someone she could still trust.

"Sure. No problem." Rhett nodded and promised her.

"I'll leave you to your work. I'm going back to the office to do some paperwork," said Luca as she left the laboratory.

Luca strode across the hallway outside the laboratory. After she returned to her office, she closed the door and turned on the computer. Then, she went to Mallory Corporation's website and found the live broadcast.

The live broadcast of the extraordinary general meeting happened to be broadcasting now.

Luca leaned on the office chair. A nervous feeling crept in as she stared at the computer screen.

It was as though she was Percy Mallory.

Mallory Corporation.

The conference hall was full of shareholders.

Even though the shareholders were on camera, the meeting had yet to begin. They were whispering in each other's ears as they had received the proposal for today's meeting.

Although rumors had been flying around the city, it was only the moment they saw the proposal did they truly realize Mallory Corporation was serious about bringing a new CEO on board.

However, would it be that easy to replace the CEO of a company? The shareholders were in doubt, especially those small-time shareholders who relied on Percy for benefits. Now, the company wanted to replace Percy and bring in a new CEO. They started to worry about the company's profitability if Pierre were to take over the CEO position.

They all knew the young master of the Mallory family, Percy, was capable enough. However, the second young master of the Mallory family had always just been helping Percy handle some matters that were inconvenient for him to deal with himself.

“Mr. Percy is here." The greeter of the extraordinary general meeting announced. Everyone in the conference hall immediately fell silent and turned to look at the entrance.

The black-colored solid wooden door was pushed open. All eyes were on Percy as he entered the conference hall and came to his seat.

He was not the chairman of the shareholders' meeting today, but where he was sitting was the seat Pierre had his eyes on.

Percy had just sat down when some of the shareholders wanted to come forward to greet him, but they heard the greeter announcing, "Mr. Rowan Mallory and Mr. Pierre are here."

Rowan Mallory was Old Master Mallory's name.

Percy stared coldly at the entrance, watching Pierre help Old Master Mallory as they slowly walked into the hall. There was a confident smile on the corner of Pierre's lips.

Percy looked down and glanced at the time. It was already 9:44 a.m.

Their arrival was well-timed.

The greeter led Old Master Mallory and Pierre to the seat beside Percy.

Old Master Mallory was still mad at Percy. Hence, he sat down on the chair that was one seat away from Percy, leaving the seat between them empty. Pierre was indifferent about it. He sat right beside Percy. "It's been a long time, Brother," Pierre smirked. Since Madam Mallory was admitted to the hospital, the brothers did not see each other again after they met in the hospital last time.

Madam Mallory was in bad condition. Percy never came back home either. He wanted to fight against the Mallory family for Nina's sake.

"It's all thanks to the shareholders' meeting. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to see me." Percy gave Old Master Mallory a cold look.

Looking at Old Master Mallory from the side, he saw that the old man was pulling a long face. The wrinkles on his face grew deeper when he wore a stern expression.

He must be very unhappy about it. After he announced that he would be holding an extraordinary general meeting, Percy still did not come back home and submit to him.

“I guess so. I'll probably be able to see you at the shareholders' meeting in the future. You'll be sitting in my seat, listening to me giving speeches on stage." There was a hint of slyness in Pierre's eyes. After this, Mallory Corporation would belong to him.

No matter how many shares Percy owned in Mallory Corporation, he would only be one of the company's shareholders next time.

Pierre swore that he would take everything from Percy bit by bit.

The company and his wife would eventually belong to him.

"Who knows? Are you so sure about that?" Percy looked down. His phone vibrated for a second, and he received a text message.

[Done.] There was only one word written in the message.

Percy placed his phone into his suit pocket.

"I have confidence in everything I do. In the end, your position and your woman will belong to me," Pierre slowly uttered the words in Percy's ears.

Even though Pierre said it in a soft hushed tone, Old Master Mallory heard what he said. He cleared his throat and said, "Pierre."

"Yes, Grandpa." Pierre sat up straight.

Old Master Mallory knew how ambitious Pierre was, including how much he wanted Nina.

Old Master Mallory admitted that the two successors of the Mallory family had been bewitched by that witch, Nina. Fortunately, Pierre was not as blinded as Percy was to marry Nina and make her his wife.

He knew Pierre was just fooling around. He was not planning to stop Pierre either. Then, he asked, "Do you have confidence this time?"

"Of course," Pierre replied confidently. He would definitely make Percy suffer a crushing defeat this time.

A quarter to 10 in the morning...

The host of the shareholders' meeting stood on the podium. He was the manager of the PR department at Mallory Corporation. After he adjusted the microphone, he began to speak. "A very good morning to all fellow shareholders! Thank you for taking the time to attend Mallory Corporation's extraordinary general meeting today. Now, let us all welcome the chairman of the board and the CEO of the company, Mr. Percy Mallory, to come forward to give his speech and chair the meeting."

Percy rose to his feet and made his way to the stage while everyone fixed their gazes on him.

Percy adjusted the height of the microphone calmly. He was not holding any scripts in his hands. He glanced at the so-called extraordinary general meeting and started to speak, "Good morning, fellow shareholders. Our company has been expanding into new markets with your support. We were able to achieve and even surpass the goals the board of directors had set for various production and business

operations of the company every year. All our employees have poured in their efforts to bring in huge projects. We've also gained some great achievements. Next, let's get down to business. I'll start with discussing the first proposal of the shareholders' meeting about dismissing Percy Mallory from his post as CEO and nominating Pierre Mallory to become the new CEO of Mallory Corporation."

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2605-Percy was expressionless when he mentioned his own name.

The shareholders could not help but wonder what Percy had in mind when they saw him like that. It did not look like he was getting dismissed at all.

To be able to read the proposal out loud in such a calm voice, it was either Percy had a well-thought- out plan that would ensure the proposal would be voted down, or he was giving up his position.

The minor shareholders could not figure it out. The major shareholders who owned more shares were even more confused.

Old Master Mallory had already informed them in advance, and they had made known their position on this. Some people supported Percy, but most of the shareholders showed respect to Old Master Mallory by supporting Pierre...

That was why Percy would definitely lose time.

Even so, Percy, who had never lost in any competition, could still keep himself so calm. Was he waiting for a miracle to happen?

Everyone was secretly curious about it.

After giving his speech, Percy returned to his seat and sat down.

Even though the seats were arranged side by side, there was the title of the chairman of the board on Percy's seat. Pierre was green with envy when he saw that.

Previously, before Percy was together with Nina, Pierre had never been so desperate nor longed for the position. He never expected he would be going up against Percy one day. Percy was the one who took away everything he had.

Now, all Pierre wanted was to sit in that position that was supposed to belong to him!

"Soon." Pierre muttered to himself.

After Percy gave his speech, the manager of the PR department walked to the podium and continued to chair the meeting.

"Let's proceed to the first and only proposal of the meeting, which is to dismiss Percy Mallory from his post as CEO and nominate Pierre as the CEO of Mallory Corporation. I'd like to invite Mr. Pierre up here to share his thoughts with us." novelbin

Pierre rose to his feet and stood up straight. He looked at everyone in the hall with a victorious smile.

Among the numerous shareholders of the company, most of the shareholders were supporting him.

Pierre walked up to the podium and began giving his speech, "Good morning, dear shareholders. My name is Pierre Mallory. It's a great honor to be nominated as a candidate to become the next CEO. If I..."

Percy listened to Pierre's speech calmly. He looked down and took out his phone under the table. Then, he glanced at the local online forum on the internet.

The news Percy had asked his men to post on the internet was already on the homepage.

Percy kept his phone away. The only thing left now was to let these people know.

Pierre's speech was lengthy. It was all about how he would be leading Mallory Corporation to success after he became the CEO and how he would develop Mallory Corporation's business.

His speech lasted for 20 minutes, and he still had not stopped talking.

Luca listened to Pierre's speech in her office. She also noticed the changes in the live chat of the broadcast.

The speech sounded professional at the beginning. However, the public eventually started complaining Pierre for being so long-winded. What he said sounded like a pie in the sky. Eventually, people commented and urged others to head to the online forum.

Luca immediately picked up her phone and opened the local online forum. She smiled after staring at her phone for a while. Percy was finally starting to bring out the big guns.

She continued to watch the live broadcast on the computer.

Five minutes later, Pierre was done giving his speech.

Pierre walked down the podium with a provocative look on his face and turned to look at Percy. Then, he returned to his seat.

The manager of the PR department continued to walk up to the podium and said, “Next, let's invite the chairman of Mallory Corporation to come forward.”

Percy stood up and strode toward the podium.

Pierre looked at him from behind and secretly sneered at him. 'It's pointless.'

If he was Percy, he would have given up. Percy knew he would lose, but he was still struggling to fight. It was embarrassing.

Percy came to the podium. He tidied his suit coat, then his tie.

Nina had chosen the tie for him this morning, and she tied it for him. She even kissed him and wished him all the best.

Everything would go well with Nina by his side.

"Thank you, Mr. Pierre, for the enlightening speech. He mentioned the company's development just now, which is also the vision of Mallory Corporation. So, there's no need for me to repeat that. I've been working in Mallory Corporation ever since I graduated from university. I eventually became the chairman of the board and the person in charge of the company. The profitability of Mallory Corporation has been gradually increasing during this period. We also found our long-term business partner during this time. If the CEO of the corporation is replaced, the company's partners might change their minds too. I believe everyone knows this well." Percy paused a few times, observing the reactions of the shareholders.

His implication was that if Mallory Corporation fell into Pierre's hands, T Corporation would no longer be a close partner of Mallory Corporation anymore.

When Percy stopped talking, some of the shareholders could not help but start to discuss with each other in a low voice.

They were optimistic about the business partnership between Mallory Corporation and T Corporation. If a new CEO was brought in, the partnership would immediately end. The company might lose some business while looking for a new partner. It also might affect the company's profits.

"And, one last thing, I believe all the shareholders have heard some of the rumors about Mr. Pierre on the internet. There's some news posted on the online forum today, and it's about something Mr. Pierre did back then. Please take a look at it. That's all I've got to say." Percy did not make long-winded explanations. He only reminded the shareholders what the effects were after bringing in a new chairman, and the big news he posted on the forum.

The shareholders picked up their phones once they heard him. They opened the local online forum.

Percy stepped down from the podium.

Pierre's face turned pale white as he had a bad feeling about this. He could not help but take his phone out. Old Master Mallory, who sat beside him, stopped him and said, “Calm down.”

Pierre stopped his gesture stiffly and stared at Percy, who was walking back to his seat.

What did he prepare?

Percy returned to his chairman seat and looked in front of him calmly.

There were noises of people crying out in surprise behind him. No one was talking about it, but there were sounds of people continuously gasping with astonishment.

Pierre could not calm himself down when he heard those noises.

However, he could not show that he was nervous in front of Old Master Mallory.

The manager of the PR department gave Percy a confused look when he saw the situation. Should he proceed to the next stage now?

Percy signaled his assistant to come over and talked to him in a low voice.

His assistant nodded at the manager and made a gesture signaling him to proceed to the next step.

The manager of the PR department spoke at once, "Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us, Mr. Percy. Next, we'll begin the next session, which is the voting session. Every shareholder present has a ballot paper. Please write down whether you'll be supporting the decision or not. You may exercise your rights and choose to abstain from voting too. Then, our staff members will collect the ballots from all of you and place them in a ballot drop box. The notary public working for the government of A City will count the votes based on the shareholding ratio of every shareholder."

After that, there were staff members distributing the ballot papers to the shareholders.

Percy was the first one to get the ballot paper. After he ticked the disagree box on the ballot paper, he stood up and dropped off his ballot into the ballot drop box.

Pierre took Old Master Mallory's and his ballot papers and dropped them into the box immediately after that too.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2606-The voting session lasted for half an hour.

After that, the notary public of A City began to count the votes.

Percy sat on the chairman's seat calmly. Pierre, who sat beside him, was on pins and needles.

Pierre wanted to stand up and head to the washroom to take a look at his phone. He wanted to see what was the news on the online forum that Percy mentioned.

Pierre knew it must be something advantageous to him when Percy mentioned it.

Anything advantageous to Percy would put Pierre in a disadvantageous position.

Old Master Mallory grabbed Pierre's hand and asked, “Where are you going?"

“To the washroom," replied Pierre. novelbin

"How can you do great things when you can't remain calm?" Even though Old Master Mallory was curious about what Percy had posted on the online forum, he was confident about the proposal this time.

Old Master Mallory had met up with many of the shareholders before he called for the shareholders' meeting, telling them that he would be supporting Pierre. He hoped that they could do him a favor and support Pierre too.

He convinced them courageously that even if Pierre took over the position of chairman and CEO of the company, Mallory Corporation would still be the same and there would not be many changes.

Most of the shareholders were close to him, and they told him that they would agree to the proposal during the meeting.

Percy would not be able to defeat him no matter what plans he came up with.

Pierre heard him and continued to remain seated. He glanced sideways to look at Percy. He was as calm as a millpond.

The vote counting was a cumbersome job. The shareholders were waiting for the results.

An hour later, the notary public stepped up to the podium with the results in his hands. Seeing as everyone was waiting for him, he announced the voting results.

"Regarding the proposal of dismissing Percy Mallory from his CEO position and nominating Pierre Mallory as the CEO of Mallory Corporation, I hereby announce the voting results. A total of three percent of the shareholders gave up their rights to vote. 36 percent of the shareholders agree with the proposal, and 61 percent disagree with the proposal. The final result is that the proposal has been rejected."

Percy listened to the announcement with a calm expression on his face. He already knew the outcome of this extraordinary general meeting.

Pierre had always thought that he was meticulous at work, but when he started planning to take over Mallory Corporation back then, Luke's men had already begun to investigate him.

Pierre got himself involved in so many dirty businesses behind everyone's back to make sure that he could start his own company.

Moreover, he made a whole lot of deals under the table to support his company and gain more business.

He had done so many things that Pierre could hardly remember each of them. After Old Master Mallory found out what he did, Madam Mallory helped Pierre to clean up the mess and handled many matters

for him. She even destroyed all the evidence.

However, many things that he did in his early days were not covered up yet.

Madam Mallory thought she had everything settled, but there were some things she did not handle well. Percy had been holding the unfavorable proof against Pierre, and he had been waiting for this day.

Percy wanted to take their brotherhood into account too, but Pierre kept hurting Nina again and again. He even thought of snatching his lover. His relationship with Pierre was no longer a concern or reason for him to hold back.

The news on the online forum was all about what Pierre did. Other than the dirty businesses Pierre was involved in back then, there was also news about him purchasing another company's bidding document through illicit channels. All the other things he did were posted online too.

It was Percy who asked Adrian to schedule the post on the online forum. That way, he could avoid what Old Master Mallory had done earlier.

All the news contained detailed information and evidence. It was difficult for everyone to not believe it.

Even though the shareholders had promised Old Master Mallory to show their support, they could not risk letting the company fall into the wrong hands after seeing the news.

Otherwise, Mallory Corporation would face a crisis the moment Pierre became the CEO.

After all, the information Percy had disclosed could allow related departments to investigate Pierre. Although Old Master Mallory could cover for Pierre, he had made the shareholders lose their confidence in him.

Pierre was the first to raise a question when he heard that the proposal had been rejected. “Objection.

How could the proposal be rejected? I own more shares than him!"

He pointed at Percy and questioned.

Pierre had the most number of the Mallory family's shares, and it was unlikely that Percy owned more than that.

He also had some shareholders who were on Old Master Mallory's side. It could not have ended up like this.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Pierre. There's nothing wrong with the final result," replied the notary public. He worked for the government, and he dared not cheat on such an occasion. "You may watch the footage of the surveillance camera and take a look at the ballots that have been counted if you suspect me."

They recorded everything down when they were counting the votes, and they never left the scene to make sure that the result was fair and honest.

"..." Pierre knew there was nothing wrong with the final result. He was the one who appointed the notary public to come here.

Even though he would not help them cheat, he would not help Percy either.

"I have more shares than you do," said Percy. He showed the shares he owned and Luke's authorization letter.

He reckoned that the total amount of the shares he had in his hands was more than anyone else in the Mallory family.

Pierre looked at the amount of shares Percy owned. He was down in the dumps as he sat on the chair.

Percy rose to his feet victoriously and said to all the shareholders behind him, "Thank you for trusting me. I'll continue to lead Mallory Corporation to success in the future."

After that, he left the conference hall.

An ominous cloud hovered over Old Master Mallory. He remained seated on the chair.

The other shareholders understood that the meeting had ended. They stood up and prepared to leave.

"Grandpa..." Pierre gritted his teeth as frustration filled up his heart.

"He actually did it.." said Old Master Mallory. He thought it would be difficult for Percy to make it without the Mallory family's support.

However, he defeated Pierre while having an absolute advantage.

"Old Master Mallory, Pierre, I'm sorry." A middle-aged man approached them. He was one of the biggest shareholders of Mallory Corporation, Hector Blanton.

Old Master Mallory watched the man walk toward him. He frowned as he thought Hector was feeling sorry for him over Pierre failing to become the CEO. Hence, he said, "I appreciate it."

Hector shook his head and replied, "Old Master Mallory, your men will certainly check the voting results later. Let me just be honest and say that I didn't choose Pierre."

Pierre stood up, refusing to believe what he said. Among all the shareholders who promised to show their support to Old Master Mallory, Hector was the one who would least likely go back on his words.

Besides, the Blanton family owed Old Master Mallory a favor.

"Uncle Hector, why did you suddenly go back on your word?" Pierre questioned him angrily.

Hector had become an ungrateful person in his eyes. He promised that he would support Pierre in front of Old Master Mallory, but he eventually cast his vote for Percy.

"Pierre, you should take a look at the local online forum. I'm an investor. Of course, I have to value the company's future development. If I had chosen you, there was a chance Mallory Corporation might face a crisis in the future. I did it for the sake of the company's future. Old Master Mallory, I'm sorry I didn't help this time," Hector apologized. He would have been unwilling to tell them about this if it were not for the reveal of the final results.

After all, his family owed Old Master Mallory a favor. If it were not for the sake of benefits and interests, he would not have chosen Percy either.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2607-Hector noticed the expression on Old Master Mallory's face as Pierre's face hardened and had no choice but to excuse himself. “Old Master Mallory, let me know if you need any help in the future. Mr. Pierre will probably have some troubles to deal with soon. Perhaps I can be of help. Please excuse me, I have to leave first."

Hector immediately took his leave, leaving Pierre with a sullen expressio on his face.

Pierre has had a bad feeling about it since the moment Percy had asked the shareholders to take a look at the online forum.

A few shareholders who were closer to Old Master Mallory came forward immediately after that. They each had a look of remorse on their face when they apologized to him. "I'm sorry, Old Mster Mallory. We're left with no choice. If we choose Piere, we'd lose all the money invested in the company at any point. We broke our promise, and we're truly sorry for that."

Before this, Old Master Mallory had visited all of them, where they all had promised the Old Master that they would support Pierre.

Yet, they now changed their mind.

Old Master Mallory could not stand this any longer. He instructed Pierre, "Take a look at what it was all about on that online forum now!"

He wanted to see what kind of nonsense Percy posted on the website.

Pierre had wanted to see it long ago. If it were not for Old Master Mallory, who kept asking him to calm his nerves — reminding him that a CEO of a company was meant to be calm and reassuring, he would have already taken his phone out to see what Percy posted on the forum.

Pierre's face turned livid with rage when he saw the homepage of the online forum.

He did not expect Percy would know about his past!

Pierre clasped his phone tight and quickly browsed through the website. The news posted on the online forum about him was true.

He had even totally forgotten all about it. However, the forum served as evidence and a reminder of his actions.

Pierre was so busy back then. He had completely forgotten all these trivial things.

One or two trivial matters might not affect him much, but when they were gathered and shown to the investors, they would certainly lose confidence in him indeed.

As Pierre continued browsing through the website, investigating how much dirt Percy had leaked to the public about his past, a notification regarding the latest news popped up at the top of the website. novelbin

Pierre clicked on it and his eyes could not help but twitch.

Percy had gone to great lengths to expose this matter to the public just to defeat him.

Pierre already sent someone to deal with the matter before this, but he would have to be under investigation once this came to light.

Pierre finally understood what Hector meant just now.

"What's on the internet?" asked Old Master Mallory, noticing a hint of panic flash across Pierre's face.

Old Master Mallory had a sinking feeling when he saw that.

When did Pierre ever hit the panic button? There was only one time when Old Master Mallory saw Pierre panic and it was when he found out that Pierre had secretly built a company of his own and had taken some of Mallory Corporation's resources.

“Nothing. They're just some tidbits,” lied Pierre.

"Could some tidbits make the investors lose confidence in you? Is there any rich kid who doesn't fool around with women? Pierre, tell me the truth." Old Master Mallory came on strong. He knew the news posted by Percy was true by looking at Pierre's reaction.

It was definitely the truth.

Otherwise, Pierre would not have reacted that way.

“Grandpa, it's nothing. Let's go home." Pierre stood up. He knew he was in trouble, but he knew Old Master Mallory would not be helping him after his failure this time.

Hence, he had to look for Madam Mallory to discuss about this later.

It was not that he could not handle this alone, but he needed time. Moreover, he needed to cooperate with the investigations. It would be difficult for him to deal with it himself.

"I'll find out what it is even if you refuse to tell me. Pierre, don't let me down." cautioned Old Master Mallory as he rose to his feet and walked away with his walking stick without the help of Pierre.

Pierre's brows were furrowed deeper.

Everyone in the conference hall had left. Pierre fell back onto the chair and his eyes fell to his phone screen, alight with the pinned news on the website. His face imemdiately darkened.

Percy was heartless indeed. He could not be bothered about their relationship and posted news about him on the internet. He was not planning to give Pierre a second chance!

Percy would not care even if in the worst case scenario that Pierre would eventually end up in prison!

"Nina, what spell did you cast on him to make him lose his mind!" groaned Pierre as he clenched his teeth and blamed Nina.

The cleaners from the cleaning department came into the conference hall with the cleaning tools in their hands. They were startled for a moment when they saw someone else was still in there. Then, one of them asked, "Mr. Pierre, would you like us to come in later?"

The news of the shareholders' meeting had already spread like wildfire across the office. Every employee knew they were still under the same boss. Thus, Pierre, who had left the company, was just Mr. Pierre from the Mallory family.

Pierre rose to his feet with a sullen expression on his face. He left the conference hall without turning back.

The two cleaners shook their heads.

“Mr. Pierre looks mad..." One of them could not help but mention.

“Of course. Previously, everyone was talking about him replacing our boss. He doesn't get to sit in that position now. Anyone would be mad knowing about that."

“Yes. It's such a big company, and he didn't get to become the boss. But I've always sided with Mr. Percy more. He's best fit to run the company."

“You're just someone from the cleaning department who's responsible for cleaning up. Are you able to judge someone's character well? It'd be better to do our job and mind our own business. It doesn't matter who the boss is. We're not going to get a pay raise anyway."

Pierre did not walk far away. He leaned against the wall along the hallway, smoking a cigarette and listening to their conversation.

He had always thought that victory would be his once he stepped into the conference hall —that he would be able to achieve one of his life goals today.

Pierre threw the cigarette on the floor and stomped on it, as though he was trampling on Percy.

While he refused to resign himself to the fact that he had failed, he could not accept how the office's cleaners had dared mock him. He trotted to the elevator, thinking of going upstairs to look for Percy.

His secretary called as he was waiting for the elevator.

"Boss, please come back to the office. A few people who claimed to be from the attorney's office and the police department came here and said they were here to search our office." Ms. Malone sounded anxious as she had never seen such a big scene before.

“Tell them not to step into my office!" exploded Pierre irritatedly. He did not expect these people to come looking for him so soon.

It had been only less than 2 hours since Percy posted the news.

“They're from the authorities. And they said they're looking for you. What should I do now?" whispered Ms. Malone. Everyone was at the office door now. It was impossible to close the office now.

Hence, the only way was to wait for Pierre to return to the office and deal with it.

“You're good for nothing. All of you! I pay you well, yet you're asking me what to do when you're dealing with such things." Pierre slammed the elevator door violently.

Ms. Malone, on the other end of the line, was taken aback.

Her job was to handle the documents. She had no choice but to replace Pierre's assistant at the time after he was suddenly sent to prison.

She had no experience in dealing with such matters!

"Ask them to wait for me. Don't let them search the office!" ordered Pierre, quickly hanging up after that.

Ms. Malone pulled a long face. Not only were they from the authorities, they even had warrants to search the office. Was that something she could stop?

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2608-The elevator arrived at the floor. Pierre walked into the elevator, pressed the button, and headed straight to Percy's office.

Percy's assistant, who was sitting in the office, saw Pierre flouncing into the office. He immediately stood up, trying to stop him. “Mr. Pierre..."

“Move out of my way." ordered Pierre, his eyes glowing with rage. He immediately pushed the assistant away and burst through Percy's office door, "Percy, you're a b*stard!"

Nina immediately let go of Percy when the door blasted open without warning.

They were happily hugging each other in the office. Now, the two of them frowned, looking at the uninvited guest in front of them.

Pierre did not expect Nina to be here either. A tinge of embarrassment flashed across his eyes. Instead, he questioned, "Why are you here?"

Percy looked at the assistant who followed behind him.

The assistant cradled the hand that Pierre pushed away and winced, “Mr. Mallory, I'm sorry I couldn't stop him."

“Get out." ordered Percy, instinctively grabbing Nina's hand.

Nina was surprised. Then, she came back to her senses and held Percy's hand tight too.

It hurt Pierre's eyes to see the two of them interlocking fingers. “You.."

“We're legally married," Percy said calmly, “What's wrong with my wife coming here to celebrate with me?"

“Percy Mallory, how nasty of you!" Pierre went ballistic, charging forward towards the couple to separate them. Then, he would take her away.

“Even though you're one of Mallory Corporation's shareholders, you're no longer part of the management. I have the right to ask security to send you off if you cause any trouble." Percy raised his brows and gave the man in front of him a cold stare.

Even though Pierre was his younger brother, the two brother's relationship was already broken after what he had done to Nina.

What Percy did today was not something a brother would do indeed.

However, what Percy did was nothing compared to what Pierre did back then.

“Hah, if it weren't for your dirty tricks, the position you're sitting in should've been mine!" Pierre clenched his fists, thinking of punching him in the face.

“What dirty tricks? Are you talking about the news on the online forum? That's what you did. How could they not be disclosed to the public?" retaliated Percy.

Percy's words pissed Pierre off so much that he could feel his chest heave with rage.

Pierre initially thought of cursing Percy to release his anguish, but he had flown into a fit of rage when he heard Percy's words and the sight of Nina and him together.

There was no way he could calm himself down, and venting his emotions would not make him feel any better.

The two things that he wanted the most—Mallory Corporation and Nina, all belonged to Percy. Pierre swore that he would get everything he wanted before, but he was facing his biggest challenge yet.novelbin

The way the couple held each other's hands tight was like a fist, punching and shattering everything he had.

"You admitted it. You're the one who disclosed it!" gritted Pierre, dashing towards them.

Percy was fast. He held Nina in his arms and swiftly turned, dodging Pierre

He did not expect Pierre to have the guts to attack them. Thus, he picked up his phone and called his assistant. "Someone's causing trouble here. Send the guard up here."

"Percy, how dare you!" Pierre widened his eyes in shock. Although he trained to fight before, Percy must have gone through the training too.

Hence, it would not do him any good if he really got into a fight with Percy at Mallory Corporation.

"What you did back then was more despicable than what I've done today," replied Percy.

Nina saw the nasty look in Pierre's eyes. It frightened her.

However, the thought of Percy standing right beside her took all her fears away.

"Pierre, there's an old saying that goes, you reap what you sow." said Nina, pausing to stare at Pierre. "And there's another one, a true man is responsible for his actions. You deserve to be punished for all the things you've done."

In the past, Pierre had violently abused her and mistreated her. Percy had kept silent and endured it each time, only because Pierre was his younger brother.

Nina was truly suffering under his abuse.

Now that Percy had disclosed everything Pierre did to the public, Nina finally understood that Percy has always been on her side.

Percy was giving his brother a chance to reflect on his actions, and that was why he did not make a move earlier.

However, Pierre was not someone who could change easily.

Eventually, Percy ran out of patience and he stopped giving him another chance.

It was Pierre who insisted on standing against him.

To be kind to one's enemy was to be cruel to himself.

Pierre widened his eyes. He did not expect Nina, who had always been timid and afraid of getting into trouble, to lecture him.

“Nina, you're not getting away with this!" swore Pierre, swearing to himself that he must get his hands on Nina and make her suffer. He would make her kneel before him, begging for mercy, and make her his very own plaything.

What he said annoyed Percy. He took a step forward and shielded Nina to protect her. "She's your sisterin-law! I'll make you fall from grace if you dare to lay a finger on her!"

"Sister-in-law? That's hilarious. Did you ever treat me like your younger brother?" sneered Pierre.

"Then have you ever seen me as your elder brother and her as your sister-in-law?" questioned Percy back. He was getting impatient, wondering why the security guard was not here yet.

"She's a whore. Does she deserve that? Percy, you have no idea that you've been fooled by this woman!" mocked Pierre.

Nina was struck cold when she heard the word 'whore'.

When she had gotten together with Percy, she was already not the best version of herself, and the person who had caused all this to happen was the man in front of her who dared call her a whore!

Nina broke free of Percy's hold and stepped forward to slap Pierre across the face.

The slap resounded loud and clear.

Percy was stunned for a moment. When did Nina become so bold?

Pierre was even more astonished. He just got slapped by Nina in the face...

The only person who dared treat him this was Luca.

Pierre felt humiliated. He lifted his hand, thinking of returning the favor.

Percy grabbed Nina's hand, pulled her back, and shielded her. "If you dare touch her, I'll never give you a second chance!"

Pierre paused with his hand in the air.

He was afraid.

Percy's eyes served as a warning, threatening him with an ice-cold glare.

Pierre had no idea how much dirt Percy had on him. He might have to spend the rest of his life in prison if any more of his scandals were disclosed to the public.

When the time came, he would never have what he wanted the most—Mallory Corporation and Nina!

"Pierre, what's so great about you being part of the Mallory family? You're just a despicable and filthy rapist!" Nina's body shook with rage, one slap was simply not enough.

A slap could not make up for what Pierre had done to her in the past.

Nina had valued her virginity the most, and it was taken away by Pierre. It was because of him, she was unable to give it to the man she loved the most.

She did not manage to give birth to that poor baby of hers either. That baby was not even given the chance to see the world.

Nina had struggled through the lowest point of her life and it was all because of Pierre, who cast a dark shadow to loom over her life.

Nina thought that there was no way she could let it go as long as Pierre was alive..

The moment she finished her sentence, there was a knock on the office door. The door pushed open to reveal Percy's assistant and three security guards behind him. "Boss."

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2609-“Take him away." commanded Percy, cutting straight to the chase. He defended Nina and leveled Pierre with a cold stare.

He knew Pierre would come looking for him and cause trouble after the investor's decisions broke.

However, he did not expect Pierre to lose his cool so soon.

"Yes, sir." The security guards stepped forward. While they felt a little awkward that it was Pierre they had to escort out, Percy was nonetheless the one who paid. Hence, they had no choice but to listen to Percy's instructions.

"How dare you! I'm one of the shareholders of this company!" glowered Pierre at the security guards behind him.

He was standing in his family's company, but he was asked to leave, taken away by the security guards. It would be humiliating if the others found out about this!

The three security guards hesitated for a moment.

"I'll call the police if you refuse to leave. I believe they're still looking for you now," warned Percy.

He had given Pierre an option — be kicked out by security or be arrested by the police officers.

Pierre frowned. Not only did he get slapped in the face this time, but he also came here to get himself humiliated.

He would remember all these!

Pierre's menacing eyes swept across Pierre and Nina's faces. He snatched his arms from the security guard's grip, turned around, and left.

Percy glared after Pierre's back and instructed his assistant, "Tell the technical department to set up an elevator access control system."

"Yes, boss." nodded the assistant, immediately leaving to do as he was instructed.

Usually, there was no elevator access control system to this floor. After all, no one would normally walk into here to cause trouble. The ordinary employees would not dare to come to this floor to make trouble.

In the past, Percy never said anything about it, so the technical department never did anything about it either.

Now, they had set up the elevator access control system to prevent Pierre from coming up here to stir up trouble again.

After all, Pierre was one of the company's shareholders, and he was the second master of the Mallory family. As his subordinate, there was nothing they could do to stop Pierre from getting in.

After Pierre left, the security guards and Percy's assistant turned to leave too, leaving Percy and Nina in the office.

“He's finally gone," muttered Nina as she heaved a sigh.

"Are you frightened?" Percy knew Pierre was Nina's worst nightmare.

Even though Percy had been by her side for many years, he still could not help Nina overcome her fear for Pierre.

"No. I even slapped him in the face just now!" exclaimed Nina as she shook her head. If she was facing Pierre alone, she would never have the guts to do that.

It was only when she was behind Percy, only then was she empowered to dare slap Pierre across his face.

She had made up her mind to do something terrible to him, which was to slap him across his face with all her strength.

Percy looked at Nina's reddened palm. He imagine how hard the slap had to be to make Nina's palm so red. Percy held her hand, feeling sorry for her. He did not feel sorry for Pierre getting slapped in the face, but he was concerned about Nina.

"Don't slap someone with your palm next time. Use something else," said Percy. Pierre was in pain, but Nina's palm hurt too.

Nina understood what he meant. She could not help but mumble, "There was nothing I could grab at that moment."

"Then let me do it." Percy kissed all her ten fingertips.

"No. It felt better to do it myself. Hitting him with a brick was what I wanted to do the most just now," mumbled Nina. How she wished she could crush Pierre's bones.

Of course, it was just her imagination. She dared not to do either.

"Sounds like a great idea," beamed Percy with joy.

"Hey, physical assault is against the law." chastised Nina as she withdrew her hand, Her fingers were no longer in pain, it seemed like Percy's kisses worked magic on them.

"It's not a human you slapped." Percy could not be bothered whether or not Pierre was his younger brother, he was a beast.

"You're so mean. He'd be pissed if he heard that." said Nina, hugging Percy and placing a gentle kiss on his lips.

Percy held her in his arms. "He's in a bad fix now. He wouldn't dare come looking for trouble."

He even pondered that maybe he should not have saved Pierre when Luke had secretly sent someone to deal with Pierre at the time.

Would Nina feel better that way?

"Hey, you've won a great victory today. We shouldn't be wasting time talking about someone like him. Why don't we talk about how we are going to celebrate your victory tonight?" Nina rested her head on Percy's chest, listening to his heart beat strongly. She felt satisfied.

What came after the feeling of satisfaction was happiness and joy.

Fortunately, Percy did not give up the career that he had spent his life on just because he chose her.

Fortunately, she did not become his burden this time.

"How are we going to celebrate..." Percy paused for a moment. He lowered his voice, teasing her playfully, "Why don't I book a suite tonight and celebrate there."

Nina immediately understood what Percy meant. Her face reddened, “How can you think of such things?”

“What else?” Percy lowered his head and looked at Nina. "Isn't it something good that's worth celebrating?”

“It is, but your friends have been a great help in this matter. We should treat them to dinner tonight and thank them.” Nina was talking about Luke and Jim. They had been so much help to Percy today.

Although they did not show up to the conference meeting, they entrusted all their shares to Percy — their shares which were bought from individual investors using their subordinate's accounts.

Coupled with their careful yet steady and calculated purchase of these shares each day, Old Master Mallory and Pierre were none the wiser.

That was why Percy could win the war.

“You're right.” Percy pondered for a moment. “Let me book a restaurant and invite them to dinner.”

“Okay,” nodded Nina. Though Percy would eventually pay Luke and Jim the shares they entrusted according to the share prices on the market, Percy and Nina nevertheless had to express their gratitude to them for their help.

If Percy did not win the war this time, Nina would have felt uneasy for the rest of her life.

She would even feel guilty.

On the other hand, Luca let out a sigh of relief after she finished watching the live broadcast.

Percy won.

That would mean Percy won the war while he insisted on being together with Nina. There were no longer any obstacles between them. They would probably be holding a wedding ceremony after this.

Luca hoped she could attend their wedding ceremony. If she could see how happy Nina was, it might be able to make her feel less guilty despite everything she owed Nina.

Knock-knock.

There was a knock on the door.

“Come in,” said Luca. She reckoned that it was Rhett outside the door.

The door pushed open to reveal Rhett as he entered her office with a few sheets of paper in his hand.

"Dr. Craw, your sample analysis report is out."

“Okay. Thank you.” Luca rose to her feet and took the report from Rhett. “No one else saw it, right?”

"No, not even me. Don't worry," answered Rhett. He knew Luca did not want others to look at the report. He had been paying close attention to the equipment. He took the report and came here immediately after it was printed out.

“Thank you. I'll leave you to work.” Luca was satisfied with his fast working efficiency.

"Okay. Please excuse me." said Rhett, before walking out of her office and closing the door behind him.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2610-After Rhett left her office, Luca turned her attention to the report.

Ten minutes later, Luca could not help but rejoice.

The sample she made and the data of the previous samples were more or less the same.

Moreover, she could see the efficacy of the sample neutralizing the poison in her blood. The indexes of the blood that had been neutralized were more positive.

Luca had a feeling that she only had to change the formula of the solution to be able to produce the antidote.

She would also need Amur's blood for her research.

Her phone rang while she was lost in her thoughts, wondering how she could collect Amur's blood sample without letting him know about her research.

She glanced at her phone. It was Luke.

Luca picked up her phone and answered the call. She greeted him respectfully as she was at her workplace, "Mr. Crawford."

“Did you watch the live broadcast of Mallory Corporation?” asked Luke. He regretted not exhausting her last night when he heard her address him in such an estranged formal manner.

Otherwise, why was this woman not keeping his words in mind?

“I did.” Luca had no idea why Luke would ask her such a question.

“Percy is treating us to dinner tonight. Tell Warren to send you to Traders Hotel after work," said Luke. Percy had just called him and told him that he had reserved a private room at Traders Hotel.

He had told Luke that he would like to thank him for his help, but it was also meant to be a celebration dinner.

"But the kids..." Luca knew why Percy invited Luke to the dinner, but she had not offered Percy any help so it felt weird for her to be invited. That was why Luca had used her kids as an excuse.

"Aunt Neile and the maid will be there. You don't have to worry about them. Plus, Nina personally invited you," interrupted Luke, not giving her the chance to reject his invitation.

Percy would certainly be taking Nina along with him to the dinner, and Jim's wife would be coming along too. There was no way Luke was going alone.

Their wives had no idea about Luca's situation, but Percy and Jim knew about Luca's true identity — that she was Bianca. novelbin

Hence, given Luca's identity and their relationship, there was nothing wrong with going with Luke.

“Okay..." Luca knew she had no choice but to go to dinner with Luke.

"I'll see you after work," Luke hung up the call after Luca promised that she would come along. He had a lot of work to do.

Luca let out a sigh, listening to the busy tone from the other end of the line. Then, she put her phone aside.

Luca pondered for a moment and picked up her phone again. She sent a message to Amur: [You there?]

[Yes.] Amur replied instantly.

[Mallory Corporation's shareholders' meeting has ended. Things didn't work out for Pierre and he failed to become the CEO of Mallory Corporation. You can make your move anytime now.] wrote Luca. She was worried that Amur had not paid attention to this. Therefore, she made sure to inform him in the first instance,

[Okay. I have to come up with a plan.] replied Amur. He had been keeping an eye on Pierre and started to devise a plan two days ago.

However, he was not planning to tell Luca about it.

If Amur let Luca know what his plan was, she might get herself involved in this.

Amur did not want Luca to get involved.

Lately, he had a strong feeling that Luca would be able to free herself from Abel's manipulation one day and live a normal life again when the time came.

Hence, it would be better for Luca to not have blood on her hands.

The people from the Island of Despair were either heartless or suffering from emotional stress. They had blood on their hands. Those who were able to bear the guilt of someone's death had become cold and heartless people. They would not feel distressed when they were carrying out their mission. Instead, they might even feel excited.

It was because murdering someone had become something they loved.

However, for those who were unable to stand it, it would be extremely painful for them every time they carried out a mission.

After they accomplished the mission of murdering someone they had nothing to do with, it would haunt them for the rest of the days, recalling how they murdered that person, and how the gleam of light in

their target's eyes dimmed at the end of their life. It was a painful process for them.

He did not wish to see Luca end up like that.

Luca pondered for a moment and asked: [Oh, can you do me a favor?]

[Sure.] Amur did not ask what help Luca needed. He would still do it even if he had to go through fire and water to help her.

[I'm working on research these days and I need some human blood, but our country only allows us to apply for local blood samples for research purposes. I was wondering if you can draw some blood of yours for me for the experiment. I need a foreigner's blood sample." Luca came up with a bad excuse.

[No problem. When do you need it?] Amur did not suspect anything. He immediately said yes. It was just drawing some blood. He was willing to help Luca as long as it was not beyond his capabilities. [Anytime when it's convenient to do so. I'm not in a hurry.] replied Luca.

[I can do it anytime. It's up to you.] Amur replied.

[How about tomorrow? I'll meet you at the apartment.] Luca pondered and immediately replied. If she could get Amur's blood sample, she would have another sample for her research. It would greatly help in her research of producing the antidote.

[Okay.] Amur agreed.

Luca put down her phone. Amur promised to help her. The thought that had been troubling her had been solved. She felt her worries drain,

Half an hour later, the telephone on Luca's desk rang.

“What's the matter?" asked Luca.

“Dr. Craw, you have a foreign friend who has just arrived at the office. He said he'd like to see you. He's at the first floor's entrance." Mo Stone's voice came from the other end of the line.

Foreign friend?

Luca's heart skipped a beat. Abel's face came into her mind in the first instance.

Still, would Abel come looking for her? Was he not afraid of exposing himself?

Luca suddenly remembered how Abel approached Luke by telling him that he was working in the same industry back then. He was not afraid of getting exposed. She felt her stomach churn with dread.

Her hands could not help but shiver.

Mo Stone, who was on the other end of the line, called her name, "Dr. Craw?"

Luca took a deep breath, looked down, and asked, "What's his name?"

"I think it's A." Mo Stone paused for a moment. "I forgot, but the front desk said that he's your younger brother..."

"Okay. I got it. I'll be right there in a moment." Luca hung up the call. She reckoned that it was Amur when she heard Mo Stone saying that that person was her younger brother.

However, did she not tell Amur that they would be seeing each other tomorrow? Why did he come?

Luca picked up her phone and called Amur.

The call was answered and Luca asked, "Amur, are you downstairs?"

"Yes. I'm downstairs," replied Amur. He already knew Luca had moved from T Corporation to Watson Biopharmaceuticals earlier.

"Okay. I'm coming," said Luca.

Luca put on her coat and hurried downstairs. She saw Amur in the hall on the first floor indeed.

"Amur, didn't I tell you we'll meet tomorrow? Why did you come here today?" asked Luca, trotting towards him. It set her mind at ease when she saw it was Amur.

"I was worried that it'd delay your research. That's why I came here." simpered Amur. He rolled his sleeves up, signaling her to draw his blood.
