Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2117

That was why Pierre was unable to find someone to take up the responsibility in such a short time.

Money could solve his problem, but the scapegoat would have to face imprisonment. He reckoned that it would be hard to find someone to take the blame no matter how much money he offered.

“I don’t have much patience left to deal with this matter. Old Master Crawford went to the Mallory family’s manor to make a clear statement that he would bring this matter to the police station and the court. So, Mr. Pierre, you’d better hurry.” Luke urged him with a cold voice, “I can ask my men to look into it if you can’t figure it out.”

Pierre’s face turned pale. It seemed like Luke was asking Pierre to get a move on the matter, but the truth was, Luke was dropping a hint about Pierre’s incompetence.

“Don’t worry. I’ll find that person and give you an explanation.” Percy clenched his jaw and replied. If Pierre was allowed to do so, he would have ripped the arrogant and condescending man in front of him into pieces and fed his flesh to stray dogs.

Pierre and Luke grew up in wealthy families. Speaking of their bloodline, the nobility of his blood was much higher than Luke's.

After all, Pierre’s mother was the first wife, while Luke’s mother, Allison, was merely a mistress.

Luke was a mistress’ son, but he was running such a big company. At the same time, he was sitting on a sofa that cost a few thousand dollars, but he looked so comfortable sitting on it. It made Pierre feel sick.

"Mr. Pierre, I need you to hurry up, then. Besides, I'd like to give you a suggestion." Luke clenched his hands together and placed them in front of his jaw, sizing Pierre up.

“Are you going to teach me how to find that person? There’s no need to. I believe my men can figure it out.” Pierre gave Luke a dirty look. He did not need Luke’s kindness, and he knew that Luke would not give him any good suggestions either.

Luke was not surprised that Pierre would reject his offer.

Luke looked at Pierre’s gloomy face and said, “Perhaps you may consider telling me who you got the bidding document from. It’ll make things much easier.”

Luke believed that Pierre played a leading role in this matter. After all, Pierre’s employees were mostly fresh graduates who had just stepped into the society except for his assistants. Those people would not have the chance to know anyone from the Island of Despair.

Luke wanted to give Pierre another way to settle things easier. He wanted to find out the identity of the person who was manipulating Luca to carry out further investigations.

“Mr. Crawford, what are you talking about? Why can’t I understand you?” Pierre curled his lips. At the end of the day, everything that Luke had done was to find out who was the one against him.

The more Luke wanted to know who it was, the more Pierre wanted to keep his mouth shut.

Firstly, if Pierre told him the truth, that would mean he admitted that he had partnered up with someone else to steal the bidding document. He would end up in deep trouble.

Secondly, he did not want Luke to get what he wanted. He felt great to see Luke being kept in the dark.

Moreover, Abel was not someone Pierre could offend, and Pierre was aware of that. Although he was fooled by Abel twice, he dared not to mess with him.

The expression on Luke’s face was icy cold. Luke could tell Pierre had no intention of telling him about it.

Percy had used the hard way on Pierre before. Now, Luke was doing it the easy way. If nothing worked on Pierre, then he could not blame Luke for making things difficult for him in the future.

Luke leaped to his feet and locked his cold eyes on him. "Mr. Pierre, you'd better bring that person to the police station as soon as possible. I don't have that much patience. If I don't receive any updates on this matter, I'll issue a press release to the media that you stole my bidding document and submitted it."

"I refuse to believe that you'd have the guts to do something like that," Pierre said with a cold expression on his face. If Luke did such a thing, he would be telling the public that he had made an enemy of the Mallory family.

“You have to understand what matters the most to Old Master Mallory. It’s not his grandsons, or you,” Luke reminded him with a cold voice.

The biggest difference between Old Master Mallory and Old Master Crawford was how much they valued their family.
