Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2553

Luca nodded. Pierre could not bear the common risks that came with transactions as such. She did not expect him to go so far.

"The boss was so annoyed by him that he taught him a lesson in Russia, thinking he would learn his lesson. However, after Pierre left Russia, he’s been using his network to investigate Abel. He has the boss’ contact number, and Boss felt that things would go down if he let Pierre be. As such, he asked me to deal with the matter," Amur said.

If Pierre had been obedient, this would not have happened.

"He asked for it..." Luca said softly.

"Yes, if he hadn’t continued to dig into Abel, the deal would have ended as such and the boss wouldn't have done anything," Amur said as he believed that the deal was fair as it was mutually consensual.

All transactions involved risk.

Abel took the risk, and so did Pierre.

The money and the goods had changed hands but Pierre constantly bothered Abel to get a refund, screaming that the proposal was fake.

The money was in Abel's pocket. It would not be easy to get it back.

Pierre crossed a line.

"I see." Luca nodded. She was relaxed to hear that it was Pierre.

After all, Pierre had done a lot of terrible things but got through life scot-free using the Mallory name. He had not been taking responsibility for his bad behavior.

It made sense that many would hate a man like him...

If Pierre was assassinated under the orders of Abel, the obstacles between Percy and Nina would not be reduced much but the Mallories would no longer use Mallory Corporation to threaten their relationship.

After all, the Mallories could not cede Mallory Corporation to outsiders or relatives.

"When I arrived at A City, I briefly browsed the latest news so there may be no action taken for the time being. I have to wait." Amur said.

"Did Abel set a deadline for the mission?" Luca asked.

"No, the Mallories have a great influence in A City. The boss just asked me to handle everything well and not leave a trail," Amur said.

Luca nodded. She was deep in thought.

It was not the best time to make a move on Pierre. However, if Amur hurt Pierre, it would be like him pissing off half of the Mallories. "Are you the only one assigned to this mission?"

"Yeah." Amur nodded. His heart softened as he stared at Luca's face which was flushed red because of the cold wind. When he thought of what Abel had said before, he reminded her, "Also, you have to be careful."

"Huh?" Luca withdrew her gaze and turned to look at him.

"Abel is plotting something. It seems to have something to do with you and Luke," Amur said. He heard whispers here and there, so the information was not complete. He did not know the specifics of Abel’s plan.

"Mm, I will." Luca lowered her gaze slightly. It did not mean Abel had no plans when he was quiet and did not reach out.

She knew that very well.

"I tried to find out, but I didn't hear anything useful." Although Amur did not want to see Luca and Luke together, he was always on alert when it came to her.

It was just that Abel was a secretive man.

It was as though he deliberately revealed a bit of information to let him know so that he could tip off Luca. However, he did not reveal the specific task.

He was like a cat catching a mouse, acting like the person in front of him was a toy to tease.

Luca knew that very well too.

"You won't find out anything. You’ll never know if he doesn't want you to know," she said. Luca was not disappointed that Amur could not find out more.

"Just be careful." Amur looked at her.

He thought that Luca's feelings for Luke should have gotten deeper with his absence for the past few months.
