Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2770

As Percy listened to Mr. Bennet, he could not help but secretly call Pierre a fool.

It was his only chance to speak to them. Yet, he could not provide any useful information to the Mallory family. He only asked for them to rescue him...

How foolish. How incredibly foolish.

Mr. Bennet noticed the gloomy look on Percy’s face and asked in a low voice, “Master Percy, what should we do now?"

"What else can we do? We must save him!" Old Master Mallory firmly took his stance before Percy could say anything.

Although he was disappointed in Pierre for not living up to his potential, he was still his grandson. There was no way he could be so heartless.

"We must save him," said Percy. 30 million dollars was merely pocket change to the Mallory family.

However, the Mallory family's liquid funds were probably not that much.

Percy turned to look at Old Master Mallory and said, "I only have around ten million in liquid assets, including the company's funds, on hand for now."

It would take some time for him to get 30 million dollars. One day’s time would not be enough. The kidnappers also requested ten million in cash.

How was it possible for anyone to have that much cash in this modern society where electronic payments were prevalent?

They could head to the bank to withdraw the cash, but a regular bank would not have that much cash readily available. It would also require an advance appointment with them to get that much cash.

Even if they got lucky and the bank was able to prepare the money in time, there was no doubt that their behavior would alarm some of the organizations.

The police were still looking for Pierre.

Their actions would be considered abnormal. The police might suspect that they were helping Pierre escape after they found out about it.

Things would become more complicated if they alerted the police.

The Mallory family had yet to contact the police because they did not want Pierre to be caught by the police after rescuing him.

"I’ll handle the rest," said Old Master Mallory. His bank account had enough money.

"But taking out ten million in cash from the bank will definitely alarm the police," Percy reminded Old Master Mallory. The reason why he did not report Pierre’s kidnapping to the police was that he did not want Pierre to fall into the hands of the police and lose any chance of turning things around.

Old Master Mallory fell silent.

Withdrawing ten million in cash from the bank at once would inevitably alarm the police.

"I have about one million in cash on hand," said Old Master Mallory. Even though the Mallory family's security system was good, they had many maids.

Keeping so much money at home increased the likelihood of attracting criminal activity.

Hence, Old Master Mallory only had one million in cash in the safe for emergencies.

"It's far from enough." Percy realized that the problem was not the 30 million but the ten million in cash that the kidnappers demanded.

Old Master Mallory frowned. He was torn between whether to alert the police or wait for the kidnappers to call again and ask if they could pay the full 30 million through a wire transfer.

They were just paying them, after all. The kidnappers should not make things too difficult for Percy.

However, what if…

Old Master Mallory wondered what if the other party disagreed with this deal and even used it to torment Pierre?

He recalled how weak Pierre sounded when the kidnappers turned off the voice modulator on the phone. Pierre sounded like he would die the next second if they continued to torture him.

He did not know what to do.

"I'll ask someone tomorrow," Percy pondered and decided not to inform the police.

He did not have ten million on hand. It was unlikely the others would have it too.

People used checks or wire transfers for such a large amount of money most of the time these days.
