Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2291

“Mr. Holston, you’re quite observant,” Jason mocked him before the other two said anything.

“I was just looking out for Mr. Mallory by spying on them,” Jim said joyfully.

“You could recognize a thousand-dollar watch? Has your taste in fashion downgraded after getting married?” Percy seized the opportunity and dealt him a mighty blow to get revenge on him for making fun of Nina for not being able to cook.

Even if Nina did not know how to cook, she was still the best. They could just leave the cooking to the maid. As long as she stayed by his side, that would be way better than mastering any skill.

“The year is ending soon, so I did my research because of employee benefits.” Jim noticed his uninterested expression and asked, “Are you really not going over there to take a look?”

“After what happened between him and Pierre, there’s no way he would go over there.” Luke picked up his wine glass and slowly swirled it unlike the other two who downed theirs.

Percy took a sip of wine and rolled his eyes at Luke.

Why was he such a blabbermouth?

“Did you two really cut ties?” Jim did not know much about it as all his attention was focused on Scarlett.

“Sort of, which is why I called you here today to ask you a favor,” Percy said bluntly.

“What favor?” Jim turned serious as Percy was not one to ask someone else for help easily. If those words came out of his mouth, it must be a very serious situation.

“I need your investment account to purchase the rest of Mallory Corporation’s odd lots circulating in the stock market. Pierre is also doing the same right now, and if he ends up with more shares than me, there’ll be a change of hands in Mallory Corporation.”

“That’s it? I’d still help you even if you told me this over the phone. No problem. You have my word.” Jim agreed immediately without asking about the reasoning behind it.

When the time came, it did not matter whether Percy wanted to take back the shares or let him keep them.

As long as Percy was in charge of Mallory Corporation, a huge crisis would not occur. hence, it would not be a big deal even if Percy decided not to take the shares back as there would be continuous dividends anyway.

“Thank you.” Percy expressed his gratitude.

“Mr. Mallory, I want to be a minor shareholder of Mallory Corporation too,” said Jason all of a sudden as he had always made investments.

He obtained a lot of information from following Luke around, so he would know about the market dynamics way earlier than others, which was why he had excellent timing in buying stocks.

Over the years, he had earned a hefty sum from his investments.

“Sure, you can buy some shares with your boss and Jim.” Percy did not care who bought those shares as long as they were in the hands of people he knew and trusted.

“But do you have a chance of winning? If the Mallory family decides to support Pierre, it won’t work even if we’ve purchased the majority of the shares. Old Master Mallory and your parent’s shares combined will definitely surpass yours.”

“As of right now, they’re just temporarily providing Pierre financial support. It’s not yet clear whether they’ll support him with the shares in their hands. It’s only a test, and if he passes, I’ll need to give up Mallory Corporation; but if Pierre fails the test, Mallory Corporation will still be in my hands.” Percy understood the consequences.

Although Old Master Mallory was against his relationship with Nina, he did not act rashly by using his power to support Pierre.

Besides, Mallory Corporation was a big deal. If it fell into the hands of someone incompetent, the consequences would be disastrous.

Percy wanted Old Master Mallory to realize that even if he played dirty and the entire Mallory family was on Percy’s side, he would never be able to get more shares.

“It seems like Old Master Mallory hasn’t completely lost his senses. He’s still very shrewd,” Jim praised him. If Old Master Mallory was not shrewd, he would have just handed the company over to Pierre. He would not need to go through all of this.

“He’s the founder of Mallory Corporation, so of course, he won’t take such big risks,” said Percy.
