That was why Pierre was unable to find someone to take up the responsibility in such a short time.
Money could solve his problem, but the scapegoat would have to face imprisonment. He reckoned that
it would be hard to find someone to take the me no matter how much money he offered.
“I don''t have much patience left to deal with this matter. Old Master Crawford went to the Mallory
family''s manor to make a clear statement that he would bring this matter to the police station and the
court. So, Mr. Pierre, you''d better hurry." Luke urged him with a cold voice, "I can ask my men to look
into it if you can''t figure it out."
Pierre''s face turned pale. It seemed like Luke was asking Pierre to get a move on the matter, but the
truth was, Luke was dropping a hint about Pierre''s ipetence.
"Don''t worry. I''ll find that person and give you an exnation." Percy clenched his jaw and replied. If
Pierre was allowed to do so, he would have ripped the arrogant and condescending man in front of him
into pieces and fed his flesh to stray dogs.
Pierre and Luke grew up in wealthy families. Speaking of their bloodline, the nobility of his blood was
much higher than Luke''s.
After all, Pierre''s mother was the first wife, while Luke''s mother, Allison, was merely a mistress.
Luke was a mistress'' son, but he was running such a bigpany. At the same time, he was sitting on
a sofa that cost a few thousand dors, but he looked sofortable sitting on it. It made Pierre feel
sick.
"Mr. Pierre, I need you to hurry up, then. Besides, I''d like to give you a suggestion." Luke clenched his
hands together and ced them in front of his jaw, sizing Pierre up.
"Are you going to teach me how to find that person? There''s no need to. I believe my men can figure it
out." Pierre gave Luke a dirty look. He did not need Luke''s kindness, and he knew that Luke would not
give him any good suggestions either.
Luke was not surprised that Pierre would reject his offer.
Luke looked at Pierre''s gloomy face and said, "Perhaps you may consider telling me who you got the
bidding document from. It''ll make things much easier."
Luke believed that Pierre yed a leading role in this matter. After all, Pierre''s employees were mostly
fresh graduates who had just stepped into the society except for his assistants. Those people would
not have the chance to know anyone from the Ind of Despair.
Luke wanted to give Pierre another way to settle things easier. He wanted to find out the identity of the
person who was manipting Luca to carry out further investigations.
“Mr. Crawford, what are you talking about? Why can''t I understand you?" Pierre curled his lips. At the
end of the day, everything that Luke had done was to find out who was the one against him.
The more Luke wanted to know who it was, the more Pierre wanted to keep his mouth shut.
Firstly, if Pierre told him the truth, that would mean he admitted that he had partnered up with someone
else to steal the bidding document. He would end up in deep trouble.
Secondly, he did not want Luke to get what he wanted. He felt great to see Luke being kept in the dark.
Moreover, Abel was not someone Pierre could offend, and Pierre was aware of that. Although he was
fooled by Abel twice, he dared not to mess with him.
The expression on Luke''s face was icy cold. Luke could tell Pierre had no intention of telling him about
it.
Percy had used the hard way on Pierre before. Now, Luke was doing it the easy way. If nothing worked
on Pierre, then he could not me Luke for making things difficult for him in the future.
Luke leaped to his feet and locked his cold eyes on him. "Mr. Pierre, you''d better bring that person to
the police station as soon as possible. I don''t have that much patience. If I don''t receive any updates on
this matter, I''ll issue a press release to the media that you stole my bidding document and submitted it."
"I refuse to believe that you''d have the guts to do something like that," Pierre said with a cold
expression on his face. If Luke did such a thing, he would be telling the public that he had made an
enemy of the Mallory family.
"You have to understand what matters the most to Old Master Mallory. It''s not his grandsons, or you,"
Luke reminded him with a cold voice.
The biggest difference between Old Master Mallory and Old Master Crawford was how much they
valued their family.
Percy insisted on getting together with Nina, and Old Master Mallory was against it. He thought Percy
would be embarrassing the Mallory family, and he always tried to do something about it. Madam
Mallory took action openly and went aboveboard, while Old Master Mallory was pulling the strings
behind the scenes.
Now, Old Master Mallory realized Percy was the most suitable person to be the sessor. Pierre
was not capable enough, and that was why the old master dared not to leave thepany to Pierre
even after he found out that Percy and Nina were engaged.
He could not take the risk. The mess Pierre had caused was notpletely solved yet.
Luke put his hands in his pockets and shot him a cold nce. Pierre''s reputation would be ruined if he
announced it to the public. Old Master Mallory might draw a line between Pierre and the Mallory family
for the sake of their interests.
At the same time, Mallory Corporation would surely be taken over by Pierre. It was unlikely that it would
change no matter whether Pierre married Nina or not.

If it were not for Luca, Luke would never have given Pierre another chance. He would make sure Pierre
got what he deserved and destroyed hispany.
However, he needed to find out who was manipting Luca now. That was why he did not act on
impulse.
Percy understood him as well.
Luke''s words made Pierre''s face turn green at once.
Pierre knew very well what Luke was talking about. If Pierre''s reputation was ruined, he would be
the abandoned son of the Mallory family.
Thepany would still be in Percy''s hands regardless of everything that he did, including getting
engaged to Nina. Meanwhile, Pierre would lose hispany and everything he had.
Perhaps Madam Mallory would pity him, but what could Madam Mallory do for him?
Pierre made up his mind. He would never let such a thing happen to him!
“Don''t worry. I''ll find out who it was and bring them to the police." Pierre left with a sulky expression on
his face.
Old Master Mallory''s assistant shook his head helplessly as he watched Pierre leave angrily without
showing any magnanimity as the second young master of the Mallory family.
He was way too spoiled.
The assistant looked at Luke and apologized, "I''m sorry, Mr. Crawford. Mr. Pierre came here to
apologize to you today."
In the end, Pierre did not look sorry at all and even gave Luke attitude.
"He doesn''t feel sorry at all." Luke turned and looked at the door. Pierre must have felt threatened.
Luke only had to ask someone to follow him to see what he was going to do next.
"Yes, I''m terribly sorry about that. I''d like to apologize on behalf of him." Old Master Mallory''s assistant
lowered his head and apologized to Luke for Pierre.
Luke looked the assistant in the eye and shook his head. "It''s not your fault or Old Master Mallory''s
fault. Please send my regards to Old Master Mallory."
"I will." The assistant nodded and left too.
Luke looked around the lounge. Honestly, it was his first time stepping into this lounge. The funding for
the housekeeping department had always been lesser. That was why the lounge looked so humble.
However, it was a great ce to receive guests like Pierre.
Jason stood there and saw Luke looking around the lounge. He asked in a low voice, "Boss, do we
need to ask the manager of the housekeeping department to clean up this ce?"
