Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2716

Percy felt a sense of helplessness wash over him as they mentioned the kidnapping of his younger brother. He had to wait for Mr. Bennet to gather all the surveillance footage.

They waited in silence for the manager to serve them the appetizer. It was not until the manager had finally left their room that Luke finally spoke, "It’s probably him.”

Percy arched an eyebrow and picked the most expensive wine bottle, cracking it open. "Who do you suspect?"

"The Island of Despair," replied Luke. The name rolled off his tongue like a bitter pill. It was a name they were all too familiar with.

Percy’s expression darkened at the mention of the Island of Despair. When he had first heard about his brother's kidnapping, he, too, had suspected them.

However, he could not fathom why they would target Pierre.

That was why he did not continue thinking about it.

"Pierre bought the bidding document of the T Corporation from them back then. Then, he ended up worse when he tried to take advantage of it. He’s been holding a grudge against them ever since. That's why he’s been investigating the Island of Despair for a while now. It's just that he just wasn't capable enough to get to the bottom of it," explained Luke. He found some evidence that the Island of Despair had something to do with the stolen bidding document from the information that Percy gave him.

Besides, Luca stole the bidding document. It was enough to prove that it was the Island of Despair who sold it to Pierre.

"But why kidnap him now?" Jim chimed in with his curiosity piqued. "If they want revenge, why not just kill him?"

"They want money, I guess." Luke turned to look at Percy.

“Yes.” Percy nodded in agreement, believing Luke’s theory.

"But your grandfather is mad at him now. Will he really give them what they want if they ask for ransom?" Jim could not help but ask with curiosity. A few days ago, he was informed that Old Master Mallory would not help to clean up Pierre’s mess. It was Karen who had been dealing with it.

However, there was a lot to deal with, and she was overwhelmed by the extent of it.

That was probably why Karen went looking for Luke when she found out that Pierre got kidnapped. She could not take it anymore.

"Who knows?" Percy poured wine for the two of them. The person he could not figure out the most in the Mallory family was Old Master Mallory.

Old Master Mallory was only concerned about Pierre’s affairs now because Karen was mentally unstable.

If Karen were fine, the old master probably would not be bothered about these things.

"So, is there anything we can help with?" Jim picked up his glass of wine and sniffed it.

Although he had not been drinking for a long time, his past experiences told him that Percy had spent a lot of money on this.

The wine stored here was indeed good, and it was basically priceless.

"Let's raid their hideout since it’s the Island of Despair that’s behind this.” Percy narrowed his eyes. He did not expect the organization to behave so arrogantly after they came back.

They went straight to their target, the Mallory family.

It was no different from how they had targeted Luke back then.

However, the person who had the guts to mess with them would eventually end up just like how the Island of Despair ended up back then—wiped out.

Percy drank his wine in one gulp as his expression darkened.

He was not mad at the Island of Despair kidnapping Pierre. After all, Pierre had done many ridiculous things over the years. It was good that someone could teach him a lesson.

Still, he would never allow the Island of Despair to have any inappropriate ideas toward the Mallory family.

Messing with the Mallory family also meant that they were messing with him…
