Pierre finally understood why Percy chose to stand on Luke''s side even in front of Old Master Mallory.


    That was because Luke had left his logo on the design draft.


    Luke had seen the contents of the bidding document in M Group, so Pierre was certain that Luke had


    plotted against them and made sure that his employees would not notice what he did.


    Although Luke did not intend to go after him, he got looped into it.


    ‘Damn that Abel! He deceived me twice in a row, and now, he has caused me so much trouble!''


    Pierre put on his coat. He knew he could not do anything to Abel.


    He did know what organization Abel led. The phone number Abel gave him was no longer valid, so he


    could not get in contact with Abel. There was only one way to find him...


    "What are you thinking about? Hurry up and go downstairs. When you apologizeter, you should be


    more sincere and me it on someone in thepany. Tell Old Master Crawford that you don''t know


    anything, but since you''re the boss of thepany, you''ll take responsibility for what happened. Make


    sure that you apologize properly, okay?" Madam Mallory had already made up an excuse for him.


    "Got it." Pierre understood what his mother meant, which was not to admit that he stole the bidding


    document no matter what went down.


    He just needed to find someone to me.


    "Also, your grandfather suffered losses when he was younger, so he hates those who lie and cheat the


    most. Even if there''s no one around, don''t admit to what you did. Just insist that someone from your


    company did it and you''ll be fine." Madam Mallory did not feel at ease. She reminded him once more.


    "Got it." After Pierre put on his coat, he slowly walked downstairs.


    When Old Master Mallory saw hime down, he shouted, "Kneel, you bastard!"


    Pierre frowned. He was alright with apologizing but refused to kneel.


    "Grandpa, I did nothing wrong. Why do you want me to kneel?" He insisted.


    "This bidding document has the logo of T Corporation on it. You said it was prepared by someone from


    yourpany. Exin yourself!" Old Master Mallory asked in a sharp tone. He hated those who were


    involved in illegal acts.


    "How could that be?" Pierre frowned, confirmed it himself, and pretended to be surprised. "It really has


    T Corporation''s logo..."


    When he saw the logo, he had an exaggerated expression on his face as he cursed Luke hundreds of


    times in his heart.


    ''How cunning... He not only prepared two tenders but he even included a hidden logo.''


    What Luke did made it so that he had to deal with the aftermath.


    "Pierre, do you have anything else to exin?" Old Master Crawford looked at Pierre and asked coldly.


    Old Master Crawford did not have much affection for Pierre even before all these conflicts. After all, in


    contrast to Percy, Pierre was much more inferior.


    Pierre cleared his throat and said sternly, "This document was prepared by someone from my


    company. As for why T Corporation''s document was used, I think one of them must have stolen the


    bidding document. Old Master Crawford, don''t worry. I''ll investigate this matter and find out who''s


    behind this. I''ll give you an exnation and bring the person responsible to you so you can deal with


    them however you deem fit."


    Old Master Crawford raised his eyebrows. ''That''s all?''


    He did not say anything. Before he came, he already expected that Pierre might make such an excuse.


    It seemed that he thought right.


    Pierre was not only cruel but also cunning.


    Pierre continued talking since Old Master Crawford did not say anything, "I''m also at fault in this matter.


    I ineffectively managed my people, so I''llunch an investigation into this matter. I''m sorry for causing


    trouble for you and T Corporation. Don''t worry, I''ll make sure that I look into everything."

    "I see..." Old Master Mallory''s expression lightened a little. He looked at Old Master Crawford and said,


    "Old Master Crawford, don''t worry. Pierre will find the person who stole the bidding document and


    deliver them to you and Luke."


    Old Master Crawford said with a cold expression, "Don''t send them to me. Send them directly to the


    police station."


    He knew very well that Pierre nned to find someone to be a scapegoat. He knew that someone


    would be willing to take up the task with the lure of money. However, if they had to go to the police


    station, no one would be willing to be Pierre''s scapegoat no matter how much money he paid them.


    Pierre and Luke had apetitive rtionship. The rtionship between the two was not the best to


    start with. Old Master Crawford did not believe that Pierre was not involved in this.


    Pierre''s expression turned gloomy when he heard what Old Master Mallory said.


    He had nned to make Mr. Peralta a scapegoat. He thought the matter could be solved if he


    promised him a bright future and gave him more money.


    However, Old Master Mallory mentioned sending the culprit straight to the police station...


    That would involve a sentence.


    "Why? Is there a problem with that?" Old Master Crawford looked at Pierre.


    Pierre sighed, trying to make things less serious. "Old Master Crawford, I don''t think it''s that serious


    since it didn''t cause any loss to T Corporation. Why don''t you wait until I find the culprit and hand them


    over to you? We don''t have to go to the police station. It''s so much trouble."


    "The police should handle it since it involves illegal activities. Why do you say that? Don''t you want that


    person to be punished? Do you already know who that person is?" Old Master Crawford asked


    deliberately.


    Pierre bit his lip and had no choice but to go for it. "I haven''t started the investigation yet. Don''t worry,


    I''ll find out who did this."


    Old Master Crawford exchanged nces with Zander before he stood up. "Okay, I''ll wait for your news.


    Tell me who it is and then just hand them to the police. I trust that you''ll inform Luke as well. Okay,


    that''s it. I won''t disturb you any further. Goodbye."


    After he said that, he left with the help of his cane.


    Pierre looked at his aged back with hatred in his eyes.


    ''Why are the Crawfords so annoying?!''


    After Old Master Crawford left the vi, Pierre nned to go upstairs. There was nothing to investigate,


    so he did not n to deal with the matter immediately.


    "Stop right there." Old Master Mallory called to him.


    Pierre knew that Old Master Mallory was still suspicious.


    "Grandpa, what do you want to know?" He stopped and looked at the old man sitting on the sofa.


    "Does this stolen bidding document really have nothing to do with you?" Old Master Mallory asked.


    "I didn''t do it. I''ll investigate it, but you have to give me some time." Pierre insisted on denying what he


    did as per what Madam Mallory told him to.


    Old Master Mallory had a sullen expression. He looked at Pierre and eventually nodded.


    He wanted to see how Pierre would deal with this matter.


    As such, Pierre continued to go upstairs.


    Madam Mallory did not go downstairs and had been waiting upstairs.


    When she saw Pierre return upstairs, she hurriedly asked, "How did things go?"


    "I said what you told me to say. I''ll have to give them an exnation when the timees, but..." Pierre


    frowned.


    "What?" Madam Mallory asked quickly.


    "It''s going to be hard to find a scapegoat because that old man from the Crawford family said that he


    wants whoever stole the bidding document to be sent to the police station," Pierre said.
