Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1620

"Of course, your wedding gift will be different from other people's. Let's put it this way. You can have whichever of Mallory Corporation’s subsidiaries you fancy. We’ll go through the transfer procedures. You can build your career and won't have to work for me anymore," Percy said.

"Subsidiary? I don't want any of them, Brother. I'm happy with how things are now. I get to take the company's dividends and occasionally do what you tell me to do. My life is leisurely." Pierre turned Percy down when he heard that he wanted to give him a subsidiary company.

Even though Percy was his brother, he would never hand over Mallory Corporation to him.

What he wanted most was Mallory Corporation, not any of its subsidiaries. Nevertheless, he was not stupid. He knew that if he said something, he would be turned down. Maybe he would even reveal something, so he chose to keep it to himself.

Percy listened to Pierre, who positioned himself as a hands-off shopkeeper. If he had not investigated him and found out something a few days ago, he would have believed him.

However, after knowing what he knew, he did not believe that Pierre's ambitions stopped there.

That was why he trusted Nina when she said that the person who kidnapped Luca was probably Pierre.

"What's the matter?" Pierre asked with a smile on his face when he saw that Percy was not speaking. Just as he finished asking the question, his phone rang again.

Pierre glanced at the caller ID and hung up the call once again.

"Nothing. Are you alright? Your phone keeps ringing." Percy glanced at his phone and asked as though he had something in mind.

Pierre explained with a smile, "It's nothing. My friends are asking me out to go drinking."

"It's fine to drink wine during the day. If you want to go all out, you should leave it until the evening," Percy said.

Pierre acted obediently in front of him. "Brother, you’re right."

"You really don’t want any of the subsidiaries? Aren't you afraid that your father-in-law will criticize you for lazing around?" Percy asked.

"I was like this before he agreed to marry his daughter to me. I’m sure he won't have any complaints. It's not that I have nothing to do. His daughter can live a good life with my current income, so I might as well spend more time with her," Pierre said.

Percy took a sip of wine and shook his head.

Pierre added, "Brother, you can give me something else. I don't want any of the subsidiaries. My fiancée is different from the Johnston girl. She’s clingy and needs someone to accompany her all the time. She’s not as considerate as the Johnston girl, who understands that you’re sometimes incomprehensible and allows you to focus on your career."

When the Johnston girl was mentioned, Percy acted distressed and said, "Sigh, I’m so busy with work yet you’re unwilling to share some of the burdens. I get a headache whenever I think about what’s happening at home."

Pierre suddenly thought of what Luke had mentioned prior. Since they were on the topic, he asked, "What's the matter? Brother, are you not satisfied with the daughter of the Johnston family? She’s good-looking and is a perfect match for you. What are you thinking? Why do you look so reluctant..."

Percy smiled and said nothing.

Pierre continued talking, "Could it be that you still have that woman in your heart?"

"Who?" Percy asked rhetorically.

Pierre lay it all down. "You know who I’m talking about, Brother. You don't have many women to begin with."

Percy did not have any women at all. Nina was the one who had stayed by his side the longest.

"She? She’s not a good match. Although she’s beautiful, she’s not worthy. She can't accept that I have a fiancée, so she broke up with me. What's the matter? What did you mention her for?" Percy acted indifferently.
