“What do you mean? He just wants to run a business of his own. What can he do with such a small amount of money? Just get over it. There's no need to ask him to come back." Old Master Mallory refused to believe that Pierre had his eyes on T Corporation.

Therefore, he had no intention of asking Pierre to come back.

After all, he was surprised to know that Pierre had started his career now.

"Hah, I've seen a lot in the business world after all these years. I wouldn't be mad at Pierre if he goes after T Corporation and tries to steal my business if he were truly capable. That could only mean that Luke isn't capable enough. And I don't mind him destroying our business partnership that has lasted for years, but Pierre is playing dirty to force Luke to give up the project in Europe. Tell me, does that make any sense? Not only is he ruining the relationship between our families but he's not even taking other people's lives seriously. I'm not going to let him get away with this."

Old Master Mallory's expression grew more serious as he listened to what Old Master Crawford said. “Crawford, are you jealous of my grandson for being capable and being able to set up a successful business?"

Old Master Crawford sneered as he listened to him covering up for Pierre. He handed his phone to him. "Take a look at this. This is the video that Luke received today."

Old Master Mallory pushed his glasses up his nose and watched the video until the end. He saw the woman in the video get beat up so badly. He could not help but ask, "Who's this? Isn't your granddaughter-in-law overseas? Why did this person hold someone else hostage to threaten your grandson to give up the project?"

Old Master Crawford stood up, walked to his side, and swiped the phone screen.

"This is the place. Can you recognize it now?" he said.

Old Master Mallory saw Luke walking out of the villa carrying a woman in his arms. Although the video was not very clear, he was able to notice that the woman Luke was carrying in his arms was wearing the same clothes as the woman who was beaten up in the previous video.

“Can this prove anything?" Old Master Mallory still could not get it. The video could only mean that there was something going on between Luke and that woman.

The butler who was standing beside noticed something and said to him in a low voice, "Old Master Mallory, this is Young Master Pierre's villa. He just bought it."

Old Master Mallory was startled for a moment after he was reminded. He looked at the video again. There was the house number in the video. It was indeed Pierre's villa.

“How did this person kidnap the woman and bring her to Pierre's villa?" Old Master Mallory still refused to believe that Pierre would do something like this.

It was not that he refused to believe that Pierre would kidnap someone but he never thought that he would have the guts to get someone to threaten Luke and ask him to give up the competition.

He had always taught them that they had to be just and honest when doing business. Even though they sometimes had to play tricks to compete for a project, he reminded them not to use dirty tricks that would cause people to hold grudges against them.

Old Master Crawford replied, "Do you need an answer for that? Who would be able to enter the house if it's not Pierre himself behind all this? With the evidence of his company information and the video, are you still going to cover up for your grandson?"

"Ask Pierre, that bastard, to come home right now!" Old Master Mallory would not lose his conscience no matter how much he loved his grandson.

Furthermore, the evidence in front of him was enough to prove everything...

"Yes." Realizing how serious the matter was, the butler picked up his phone and called Pierre.

However, no one was answering the call.

"Old Master Mallory, I can't reach him," replied the butler. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

"What's wrong? Hand me my phone." Old Master Mallory had to bring Pierre home and question him about everything that happened.

Old Master Crawford looked at all this coldly. It was true that he was friends with Old Master Mallory, but he still had to take care of this matter.

Old Master Mallory called Pierre, but he still did not pick up the call.

He had no choice, so he said, "Call Percy. Ask him to bring Pierre, that bastard, back home. This is ridiculous."

"Yes." The butler heard him and excused himself to make the phone call.

"I'm afraid you won't be able to reach any of them," Old Master Crawford said.

"What do you mean." Old Master Mallory blinked his eyes. All his confidence was gone as he had been proven to be wrong.

Old Master Crawford said, "The woman your grandson kidnapped is Luca Craw. The police have already made the announcement. The police were there too when they went to rescue her today. The

two kidnappers Pierre hired were subdued by the police, and they're currently in the hospital. Tell me, will Pierre sit still and wait for the police to find him?"

Those policemen took this case seriously. They would know that the villa belonged to Pierre if they did a simple check on him.

Even if Pierre told them a different story, it would be difficult for him to run away from his responsibility. Moreover, they would eventually figure things out once they dug deeper into it.

Old Master Mallory fell silent.

After a while, the butler came over and said, "Old Master Mallory, Young Master Percy told me that he can't reach Young Master Pierre either. He has already sent his men to look for him, but it seems like the police have started to suspect Young Master Pierre. Do you think he's."

The butler did not finish his sentence as everyone present would be able to understand what he was talking about.

Old Master Crawford stood up and glanced sideways at the evidence on the table. “Mallory, sometimes, a kid will turn bad if you spoil him too much. Here's the point. This has nothing to do with the Mallory family. I'm only going against Pierre Mallory, and I hope you understand. But if you're covering up for him, don't blame me for making things hard for you."

It was them who started it. Old Master Mallory could not say anything about it.

Old Master Crawford did not come to have some tea. He turned around and left after telling Old Master Mallory the important and terrible things that he had to say.

Old Master Mallory looked at the file in front of him. He let out a sigh and ordered, "Send out men to look for that bastard."

"Old Master Mallory, Young Master Pierre is probably hiding somewhere. If we insist on bringing him back here, he might get arrested by the police before he manages to step into the house..." the butler said.

"Then just let it be. He committed a crime, and there's nothing wrong with the police arresting him. Look at what he's done. He's getting fearless now. How dare he set his eyes on the Crawford family? Find out the identity of the woman who was kidnapped and if she's seriously injured. It can't be that serious if they didn't call the ambulance. Then, find a good lawyer to handle the case. It won't take long to get him out of this."

Kidnapping was a serious case, but he could probably settle it if it were someone else. However, it turned out they had offended the Crawford family.

Luke seemed to care a lot about her.

Did he not have a wife already?

"Yes." The butler dared not to delay any longer and went to carry out orders right away.

At the hospital.

Luke sat on the couch and stared at the IV bag that dripped little by little into Luca's veins. There was a deathly silence in the air.

"Ow."
