Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1693

Mr. Bennet made a guess. "They probably can't reach Master Percy, so that's why they came here."

Old Master Mallory frowned and said, “What troubles are they bringing here? How am I supposed to help them solve the problem? What can I do for them? Well, I guess Percy must have slipped away.”

Old Master Mallory did not stand up for them when the Johnston family first got into trouble. It was because he thought the Johnston family would be capable enough to survive the crisis this time, but he did not expect that they would come looking for him the next day.

It seemed like what Percy said about the Johnston family was true. They were not as powerful as they expected.

Mr. Bennet saw that the old master was getting impatient and asked, “Old Master Mallory, should we let them in?”

“They’re already at the entrance. How can I not let them in? Just let them in,” said Old Master Mallory.

Mr. Bennet went to open the door and led the Johnston family to the garden.

The people who came today were the father of the person in charge of Johnston Corporation, Nick Johnston, as well as the daughter of the Johnston family who was engaged to Percy, Madison Johnston.

Mr. Bennet came over and welcomed them when he saw them get out of the car. He said, “Old Master Johnston, Ms. Madison, welcome.”

Nick nodded his head with an arrogant expression on his face and asked, “Is Master Percy at home?”

"Master Percy? He went to the office early this morning. He's not at home,” answered Mr. Bennet. They had indeed come to look for Percy. He reckoned that they went to Percy’s office before this.

Madison said hurriedly, “We went to Mallory Corporation, but they said he didn’t come to the office today.”

Mr. Bennet understood at once and answered, "Perhaps Master Percy had something else to do. Mr. Johnston and Ms. Madison, you probably know that Master Percy runs the company alone now. He often has some tasks that he needs to personally handle, so he had to move here and there. Hence, it’s normal for him not to be in the office at times.”

Nick knew the reason deep in his heart, but he chose not to expose the butler. Even though Percy was not at home, Old Master Mallory should be here. Then, he asked again, “Yes, that’s true. After all, it’s not easy for him to run a big company like Mallory Corporation. It’ll be much easier for him after Madison marries him. She can help him to manage the company.”

Mr. Bennet looked down, lowered his head, and replied immediately, “Yes, indeed.”

Although he agreed with him, he could not make the decision. Nick could not be bothered about that and asked, “Then, is Old Master Mallory at home today? I’d like to discuss something with him.”

“Yes, Old Master Mallory is here. Please come in.” Mr. Bennet led them into the house.

Old Master Mallory had already asked the maid to make some tea. There was a sweet smell of tea in the air when the two of them entered.

Madison's eyes brightened, and she sat down opposite Old Master Mallory with her father, Nick.

Nick was the younger generation when he was in front of Old Master Mallory, so he took the initiative and greeted, “Old Master Mallory, it’s been a while. How are you feeling lately?”

"Thank you. I'm old but I'm still doing great." When Old Master Mallory saw how calm Nick was, he did not point out their motive for coming here. He cracked a joke with him.
