"Okay, Lanie and the others miss their grandpa and grandma too," Luke agreed, thinking that Luca


    would be able to bring the kids back when she was done with her work in the next few days.


    "Great." Jack was very satisfied. At this moment, there was a knock on the door. He put away the


    emotion in his voice and said, "Come in."


    The secretary opened the door and knew that their conversation was over after seeing that Luke had


    stood up. The secretary reminded Jack, "Sir, the next meeting is about to start."


    Jack nodded and looked at Luke. "I''ll go to the meeting first. Remember to bring the kids over for a


    meal on the weekend."


    "Okay." Luke watched Jack and his secretary leave before leaving the provincial capital.


    He did not go back to the T Corporation immediately after leaving the provincial capital.


    Jack urged him to pick up the pace today and also told him a piece of news. Now, he needed to pay the


    Mallories a visit.


    After arriving at Mallory Tower, Luke took the elevator directly to Percy''s office.


    He pushed open the door and heard Percy say, "Here you are. Coffee is ready for you."


    Luke walked in and sat on the chair opposite Percy.


    Percy''s assistant was smart. When Luke walked in, she knew they had something to talk about, so she


    respectfully said, "Mr. Mallory, I''m going downstairs to work first."


    "Close the door," Percy said, putting down the work at hand.


    "Sure," Percy''s assistant left the office and closed the door behind her.


    Luke picked up the coffee that Percy''s assistant had prepared for him. He took a sip, then raised his


    eyebrows.


    Percy read his expression and teased him, "The coffee made by my assistant is naturally not as good


    as the coffee made by Dr. Craw, so don''t be picky."


    Luke was not picky. He put down the coffee and echoed his sentiments, "Yes, it''s not as good as Luca''s


    coffee. Your assistant should learn how to make coffee from her."


    Percy rolled his eyes and took the cup that Luke put down. "Even if I''m willing to let my assistant learn


    from your beloved Dr. Craw, you must be willing to let Dr. Craw teach my assistant."


    The people in their tiny inner circle who knew that Luca was Bianca also knew that Luca was extremely


    precious to Luke.


    Make Luca teach Percy''s assistant how to make coffee?


    Luke would never want to make Luca exhausted.


    The men in this inner circle would never allow their beloved to be exhausted.


    Luke was the one who loved his wife in the most exceptional way.


    "There''s business to talk about." Luke knew that Percy was joking and did not dwell on the topic of


    Luca.


    Percy put away his cheekiness, nodded, and waited for him to get down to business.


    "The government''s n to develop suburbannd is about to be implemented. T Corporation has


    already gotten busy with this matter. Your side should start too," Luke said.


    The Mallory family and Percy would benefit when T Corporation made money.


    T Corporation''s confidence in bidding came from its partnership with Mallory Corporation for better


    resources and apetitive edge.


    It was impossible for Percy to refuse such a good cooperation opportunity.


    "Is it confirmed?" Percy knew that Luke''s information was sensitive. Although he was just confirming


    the authenticity of the information, he had already started to figure out a n in his mind.


    "It''s confirmed. This isn''t fake news. I heard that the government of A City is more interested in letting


    localpanies in A City win the bid for this project." Luke did not hide the news. In terms of local


    decision-making, this was not a secret.


    If a city had its own home-grown powerful enterprises, the local government would give priority to them.


    After all, the development of enterprises would be beneficial to the local government''s performance.


    If it were not for therge power gap, no one would hand over projects to other cities or even foreign


    companies.


    Unless the projects had nothing to do with the government, they would have no way to participate in


    the management.


    "I''ve heard about this news, but there are several constructionpanies in A City. I''ve counted them,


    and none of them seem to be able topete with T Corporation. However, I don''t take this lightly. I''ll


    hold a meeting here first and give you thepany''s final quotation. Then, you can make adjustments


    based on the quotation to finallyplete the bidding proposal," Percy said.


    The two of them had alwayspleted projects together. They would not tear themselves apart for a


    mere difference in benefits.


    Theirpanies could develop further as long as their interests were prioritized. In return, that would


    shut all the other shareholders'' up.


    For Percy, this project was a good one.


    He badly needed a huge project to silence those small shareholders who were still trying to support


    Pierre to mess up thepany.


    If Percy was able to manage Mallory Corporation well, Pierre would not have the ability to mess things


    up either. These facts could not be denied.


    "Okay. There''s one more thing," Luke said.


    "Spill." Percy picked up the coffee and took a sip. Luke may have disliked the coffee made by his


    assistant, but he quite liked it.


    His assistant learned the craft from a professional barista. He admitted that the coffee did not have the


    mellowness in Luca''s brew, but the taste was still quite good.


    Furthermore, Percy was not like Luke, whose tastebuds were spoiled by Luca.


    Percy even felt that if Luke were on a deserted ind with him, thetter might starve to death from


    being a picky eater.

    "Luca''s matter with the Ind of Despair matter is almost at the next phase. I''ll need your help when


    the timees," Luke said. They were ustomed to this, and they would help each other in troubled


    times.


    "Okay, no problem. My people are ready at any time," Percy agreed without hesitation. Helping Luke


    eradicate the Ind of Despair before was purely a favor.


    Whenever Luke was in trouble or had a grudge to solve, Percy would help him to the end.


    This time, Percy was also helping himself while helping Luke. The people from the Ind of Despair


    broke Pierre''s leg. He would never let this matter go easily.


    There was no rest for the evil since the Ind of Despair dared to take advantage of the Mallory family.


    Although Percy''s brotherhood with Pierre waspletely destroyed, the Mallories could only be dealt


    with by the Mallory family themselves. There was no need for the Ind Of Despair to interfere.


    Percy instinctively knew that if the Ind of Despair dared to target Pierre, they would dare to target


    other members of the Mallory family as well, including himself, Nina, Old Master Mallory, and so forth...


    Percy''s agreement was within Luke''s expectations. He left after talking about everything.


    After leaving Mallory Corporation, he still did not return to T Corporation but came to Watson


    Biopharmaceuticals instead.


    Everyone knew that he was Watson''s boss. When Luke walked into thepany, he went all the way


    to the floor where Luca''s office was located unobstructed.


    Mo stood up when she saw Lukeing in. She greeted him in surprise. "Mr. Crawford, good


    afternoon."


    It was almost noon, and Luke suddenly appeared in Watson.


    "Where''s Dr. Craw?" Luke asked.


    "Dr. Craw is still having a meeting in the conference room. Shall I inform her?" Mo knew that Luke was


    here to see Luca.


    She could not help but sigh. ‘Sure enough, the rtionship between Luke and Luca isn''t ordinary.''
