Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2609

Hector noticed the expression on Old Master Mallory’s face as Pierre’s face hardened and had no choice but to excuse himself. “Old Master Mallory, let me know if you need any help in the future. Mr. Pierre will probably have some troubles to deal with soon. Perhaps I can be of help. Please excuse me, I have to leave first.”

Hector immediately took his leave, leaving Pierre with a sullen expressio on his face.

Pierre has had a bad feeling about it since the moment Percy had asked the shareholders to take a look at the online forum.

A few shareholders who were closer to Old Master Mallory came forward immediately after that. They each had a look of remorse on their face when they apologized to him. “I’m sorry, Old Mster Mallory. We’re left with no choice. If we choose Piere, we’d lose all the money invested in the company at any point. We broke our promise, and we’re truly sorry for that.”

Before this, Old Master Mallory had visited all of them, where they all had promised the Old Master that they would support Pierre.

Yet, they now changed their mind.

Old Master Mallory could not stand this any longer. He instructed Pierre, “Take a look at what it was all about on that online forum now!”

He wanted to see what kind of nonsense Percy posted on the website.

Pierre had wanted to see it long ago. If it were not for Old Master Mallory, who kept asking him to calm his nerves — reminding him that a CEO of a company was meant to be calm and reassuring, he would have already taken his phone out to see what Percy posted on the forum.

Pierre’s face turned livid with rage when he saw the homepage of the online forum.

He did not expect Percy would know about his past!

Pierre clasped his phone tight and quickly browsed through the website. The news posted on the online forum about him was true.

He had even totally forgotten all about it. However, the forum served as evidence and a reminder of his actions.

Pierre was so busy back then. He had completely forgotten all these trivial things.

One or two trivial matters might not affect him much, but when they were gathered and shown to the investors, they would certainly lose confidence in him indeed.

As Pierre continued browsing through the website, investigating how much dirt Percy had leaked to the public about his past, a notification regarding the latest news popped up at the top of the website.

Pierre clicked on it and his eyes could not help but twitch.

Percy had gone to great lengths to expose this matter to the public just to defeat him.

Pierre already sent someone to deal with the matter before this, but he would have to be under investigation once this came to light.

Pierre finally understood what Hector meant just now.

"What's on the internet?" asked Old Master Mallory, noticing a hint of panic flash across Pierre’s face.

Old Master Mallory had a sinking feeling when he saw that.

When did Pierre ever hit the panic button? There was only one time when Old Master Mallory saw Pierre panic and it was when he found out that Pierre had secretly built a company of his own and had taken some of Mallory Corporation’s resources.

“Nothing. They’re just some tidbits,” lied Pierre.

"Could some tidbits make the investors lose confidence in you? Is there any rich kid who doesn't fool around with women? Pierre, tell me the truth." Old Master Mallory came on strong. He knew the news posted by Percy was true by looking at Pierre's reaction.

It was definitely the truth.

Otherwise, Pierre would not have reacted that way.

“Grandpa, it’s nothing. Let’s go home.” Pierre stood up. He knew he was in trouble, but he knew Old Master Mallory would not be helping him after his failure this time.

Hence, he had to look for Madam Mallory to discuss about this later.

It was not that he could not handle this alone, but he needed time. Moreover, he needed to cooperate with the investigations. It would be difficult for him to deal with it himself.
