Old Master Crawford frowned, and he said worriedly, "The IV drip won't supply as many nutrients as food does. She should take the oatmeal while it's still warm."
Luca was still asleep, and Luke could not bear to wake her up. He glanced at the thermos flask on the coffee table and reminded the old master that the oatmeal would not get cold that easily. "The oatmeal is in the thermos flask."
Old Master Crawford cleared his throat. He was so worried about Luca that he forgot Mrs. Nancy had kept it in a thermos flask that could keep the food inside warm for six to seven hours.
After a while, Jason entered Luca's ward along with the printed document. Then, he handed it to the old master respectfully.
Old Master Crawford took it from him and read the information that they had found out. Indeed, Pierre had established a company of his own. He had raised quite a huge amount of funds, and his company was even listed on the market in New York.
"Good gracious. I thought he was a good-for-nothing who only knew how to have fun. I didn't expect him to have such wild ambitions. Too bad he's resorting to dirty tricks. It's no use even if he has ambition. Is there any more evidence? Give them all to me. I'm going to ask for an explanation from the Mallory family. Don't even try to escape this time, you sneaky boy." Old Master Crawford snarled.
Forget about Pierre trying to steal the Mallory family's business. After all, that was their family's matter. However, he even planned to use such a dirty trick to steal T Corporation's project. Old Master Crawford could not take this lying down no matter what.
Luke shot a glance at Jason to hint at him.
Jason picked up his phone immediately and opened his gallery. Then, he sent the video to the old master's phone. “Old Master Crawford, this is the footage that was taken in the car. It's of Boss saving Luca.”
Soon, Old Master Crawford's phone rang with a notification. He watched the video that Jason sent to him. Although he said that this was the footage of Luke saving Luca, it was more like a video of him carrying Luca in his arms getting out of the villa.
Old Master Crawford nodded his head with satisfaction after he saw Luke carrying Luca in his arms. There was no reason for the Mallory family to cover up for Pierre with all this evidence.
It was never easy to go against the rules established by the older generation!
Even Luke dared not to violate the rules as he pleased. How dare Pierre break the rules?!
Old Master Crawford looked at Luca who was still deeply asleep and reminded Luke. "Tell Luca I came to visit her when she's awake. Also, tell her to take good care of herself and not to think too much. I'll seek justice for her."
Luke lifted his head and glanced at Luca.
He did not expect Old Master Crawford to be willing to stand up for Luca.
Luke turned to look at Luca and recalled how quickly the Crawford family had accepted Bianca. She always had some kind of magic that allowed people to accept her and be fond of her.
She was such a lovely person, but she had suffered so much.
Luke looked at her with his deep eyes, and he stepped forward to tuck Luca into the blanket.
As Jason watched Old Master Crawford leave the ward angrily with the evidence, he glanced at his boss who had that gentle and tender look on his face. He was taking care of Luca. He opened his mouth but he did not know if he should break the silence.
“Go back to work.” Luke's words filled the awkward silence in the air.
"Yes," Jason replied, turned around, and left the ward. He headed to T Corporation to continue his work.
Old Master Crawford asked Zander to bring him to the Mallory family's house after he left the hospital.
He did not call in advance to inform them that he would be paying a visit. Hence, Old Master Mallory was startled when the butler informed him about that.
"Why did he come? And why didn't he give us a notice?" Old Master Mallory stood up. The two families had been maintaining a great business partnership with each other, and they were friends for many years. Hence, they would frequently invite each other to drink some tea and play chess together.
However, they were businessmen, after all. They would notify each other in advance whenever they came to visit. It was rare for Old Master Crawford to come to their house unannounced.
"I'm not sure about that. But Old Master Crawford doesn't look very happy. It seems like something has happened. He probably wanted to discuss it with you." The butler informed him in advance.
Old Master Mallory was not concerned. He just thought Old Master Crawford was in a bad mood because of the nonsense that was happening in the Crawford family. He had nothing to do with those affairs.
"Alright. Make some tea. Remember to use the black tea leaves that I just bought yesterday. He told me that my tea leaves tasted awful last time, and it's time to shut him up." Old Master Mallory rubbed
his palms as he could not wait to show off the new tea leaves that he had bought.
"Yes," the butler replied.
Old Master Mallory added, "Oh, bring the antique chess set that I bought last week as well. I'm sure I can defeat him this time."
"Yes." The butler heard him and walked into the kitchen, planning to make some tea for them first.
Old Master Crawford came in with his walking cane and looked at Old Master Mallory. He sat down on the couch angrily.
Old Master Mallory saw how angry he was. He clicked his tongue and teased him, asking, "What's wrong? Who offended you?"
"Your good grandson!" Old Master Crawford tossed the document onto the coffee table.
The butler had just finished making the black tea and was about to place it on the table. He almost spilled the tea because of Old Master Crawford's gestures.
“What did my good grandsons do? They couldn't have possibly offended you, right?" Old Master Mallory muttered. "Percy is always busy with his work. He couldn't possibly have had the time to mess with you. As for Pierre, that's even more impossible."
"Pierre Mallory. It's him. It's all here. Take a look at this." Old Master Crawford pointed at the documents on the table.
Old Master Mallory picked up the documents and touched his neck habitually. He then realized his glasses were not with him. He ordered, "Bring my glasses here."
"Yes." The butler quickly opened the drawer and handed the glasses to him.
Old Master Mallory slowly put on his glasses. Pierre had caused a lot of trouble throughout the years. He had gotten used to it when people came to complain about him.
He often got drunk and caused trouble in the establishments. He would injure people as well, and there were many more of such instances.
The Mallory family could afford to compensate them all. After all, Pierre was the youngest grandson in the Mallory family. Old Master Mallory would only say a couple of words about it before pretending as though it had never happened.
It was the reason why he put all his attention on Percy and trained him to become the Mallory family's heir.
At this moment, Old Master Mallory realized Pierre had set up a company of his own company that covered a wide range of businesses, including those of the Crawford family and the Mallory family. He frowned, but he did not take it seriously. "The child probably set up a company just for fun. Why are you complaining about this to me? Did he steal T Corporation's business? I'm guessing not. He doesn't have the guts."
"Not yet, but he's starting to." Old Master Crawford drank a mouthful of black tea without worrying if it was still hot as if it could put out the fire in him. "Mallory, you should be worried about that grandson of yours. Ask him to come back here. Let me see what he's really up to."
