Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2619

“Yes, Mrs. Mallory.” The maid immediately went to prepare.

After a while, Madam Mallory carried a tray and walked toward Old Master Mallory’s bedroom door. She knocked on the door. The old master’s voice came from inside the room. “Who is it?”

“Father, it’s me,” said Madam Mallory in a soft voice. “Mr. Bennett said that you haven’t eaten anything today. I made supper for you.”

“I’m not eating. You can have it.” Old Master Mallory did not open the door. His voice that came from the room sounded stiff.

Madam Mallory heard the old master’s voice and knew he was still in a rage.

"Father, let's talk." She stood outside the door, pleading. Even if she was able to deal with Pierre's matter without the old master's help, it would take some time for her to settle it.

Pierre would not be able to be patient and wait that long.

Besides, this matter could not be delayed for too long either.

Madam Mallory stood there, waiting for Old Master Mallory to say something.

“Come in.” After a while, Old Master Mallory’s voice came from inside the room.

Madam Mallory pushed the door open and entered the room. She placed the tray on the coffee table beside her. She knew the old master was still angry, and she did not mention Pierre’s matter right away. Instead, she showed some concern. “Father, have some oatmeal even if you don’t feel like eating anything. How can you not eat anything for the whole day?”

The old master watched Madam Mallory fill up a bowl of oatmeal for him, and he asked expressionlessly, “Is he back yet?”

Madam Mallory’s heart skipped a beat. The old master had even changed the way he addressed Pierre. It proved that he was truly angry now.

“Father, he didn’t come back. Have some oatmeal.” She picked up the bowl of oatmeal and served it to the old master.

Old Master Mallory did not take it from her, and he asked, “He didn’t come back? Where is he now?”

“I’m not sure.” Madam Mallory could feel the heat of the oatmeal from the bowl, but she dared not move.

There was no way Percy could kneel before Old Master Mallory and repent. Hence, as Percy’s mother, she had to calm Old Master Mallory down.

Madam Mallory had married into the Mallory family for 30 years. Her husband was in charge of the companies abroad for years. She was left to manage the whole Mallory family, except Old Master Mallory.

Apologizing on behalf of someone and calming the old master down was also part of her job.

Madam Mallory felt helpless.

Old Master Mallory glared at her and scoffed. “How did you become a mother? Your eldest son and youngest son are both misbehaving.”

Madam Mallory looked down without saying anything.

Old Master Mallory forcefully requested, “Ask Pierre to get his *ss back here. He only knows how to run away whenever something happens. What kind of man is he?”

“Father, Pierre can’t come back now. He’ll be taken away if he comes home…” Madam Mallory looked at him with red, teary eyes. “The people from the Department of Justice and the police officers are outside the villa now. They’ve been waiting for Pierre to show up. Won’t he be walking right into a trap if you insist on him coming back now?”

“Shouldn’t he be taken away after all those things he did?” Old Master Mallory was so mad that his face was twisted in anger.

Old Master Mallory initially thought that he could get rid of Percy after the shareholders’ meeting this time. He did not expect that they would fail and Pierre would end up getting himself in trouble.

He recalled how he had brought Pierre along with him to visit the shareholders. He relied on his power and status, asking them to support Pierre. He promised them that Mallory Corporation would continue to grow and be taken to greater heights once Pierre took over the positions of chairman and CEO.

How assured he was when he promised the shareholders back then was how embarrassed he was now.

Many called him to ask about his matter after what had happened to Pierre. On the surface, they seemed to be concerned about him, but they were actually laughing at how the Mallory family had brought shame to themselves.

The two brothers were fighting against each other. The more they fought, the more ridiculous it was. Old Master Mallory was mad at Percy, but he was even madder at Pierre.
