Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1692

“It’s hard to eliminate the Johnston family not because of their family business or deep pockets. It’s because of their family history and political background in A City. Besides, no matter how abundant their capital is, it’ll only lead to a downfall under the guidance of the person in charge now. Their company has low liquidity. A 20 percent drop means that they’ve lost quite a large amount of money. They won’t be able to take it for much longer.” Luke analyzed.

"Indeed." Percy nodded and changed to another sitting position. He leaned on the couch comfortably. "Now, all we have to do is to wait for them to seek Old Master Mallory's help. Judging from his character, I'll be able to take action soon."

“It’s easy for you to get rid of the Johnston family due to the current situation. But getting Nina back will be hard.” Luke reminded him.

Everything that Percy did was never for the sake of the Mallory family; it was for him and Nina.

However, he chose not to tell anyone and did everything in silence. That was why Nina could not understand him.

He was approaching victory, but Nina was still running away from him. Luke saw it all and broke it to him.

Percy’s smile slightly faded when Luke mentioned Nina. “I’m fantasizing about my future now. It upsets me when you say that.”

“You have to be clear about the present to embrace the future.” Luke switched on his computer. The stock market would open soon.

Percy did the same thing too. He picked up his phone and opened the trading app. "You don't have to lecture me. You haven't even dealt with your matters. Why did Bianca come back with a different appearance and refuse to acknowledge you? Have you found out the reason?"

His words hit a nerve in him. Luke entered Johnston Corporation’s stock code proficiently and said, “Would I still be like this if it was that easy to find out?”

"Things are never easy for both of us." Percy refreshed the page, and the stock market had opened. People were constantly selling off Johnston Corporation's shares, and the price kept dropping. He said, "Tsk, tsk. Tell me, how long before the price stops falling?"

Luke analyzed the current trends in the stock market and made a guess. “It’ll hit a limit down in less than an hour.”

Percy nodded. “Then I’ll sit here in your office for the rest of the day.”

“What do you want to do?” Luke frowned. He did not like the thought of Percy staying here and disturbing him when he was working.

“When their share prices hit a limit yesterday, that woman started looking for me. I can’t get away from her. She keeps telling me to help her elder brother. Tell me, can I still go back to my office under these circumstances?” Percy wanted them to take the initiative to look for Old Master Mallory instead of him.

If he was at the office, they would only think of him.

“Nina is working in Brilliant today. You can go and look for her.” Luke gave him another suggestion on where he should go.

"The matter with the Johnston family isn't settled yet. I'm not going to disturb her. She'll be irritated." Percy went straight to the point. He had always been bold when doing things, but because of Nina, he would become extra careful whenever something was related to her.

Luke shook his head. “Then try your best not to talk.”

"I know, I know. You're working on an important project. Don't worry. I'm not going to disturb you." Percy was in a good mood today, and he became more talkative too. He took his laptop out of the briefcase and thought of working here.

After a while, his phone rang. He glanced at it. It was the daughter of the Johnston family calling him.

Percy did not answer the call. After he left it to ring until the call was automatically cut off, he picked up his phone and sent a message to his assistant. He turned off his phone after telling his assistant to contact another number of his if there was anything about work that needed his attention.

He liked to have two strings to his bow. Hence, when he was preparing to lay his hands on the Johnston family, he had already registered for another phone number.

Percy put the phone that was switched off in his pocket and began to work.
