“Luke Crawford..." Karen's eyes darkened. She gnashed her teeth with frustration when she uttered Luke's name.
Oswald added, "It's the only thing that has happened in the past few days. No one else has come to look for Mr. Pierre until now.."
"Can you guarantee that what you said is true?" Karen stared at the two men in front of her.
They dressed like street thugs, and they were embarrassingly obsequious when they faced her. It did not seem like they were lying to her.
"It's true! Mr. Pierre called you on my landline before. I know you'd find out that Mr. Pierre was gone sooner or later. If we didn't inform you immediately, we'd be in trouble next time. That's why we don't dare to lie to you." Oswald immediately gave her a clear indication.
If it were not for Pierre using his landline to call Karen, he might not have come this far.
After all, if Karen suspected him, he would be in deep sh*t.
Once Karen noticed that something was wrong, she would send someone to the telecommunication company to look into it. Then, she would be able to find out where he lived.
Hence, Oswald did not make any false claims. It was because he knew how easy it was for Karen to find out where Pierre was once she knew the landline number.
However, she did not look for Pierre through the telephone number. She intended to let Pierre continue to stay in his house.
Oswald knew about it. He did not want Pierre to feel like he had betrayed him. That was why he did not call the police and did not tell Karen about it to claim the reward from her.
Oswald knew Karen's order was just something she did to show the others that she had no idea where Pierre was either. That way, the police officers would not continue to look for her.
Karen nodded and replied, "I'll send someone to your place and see if there are any traces left behind that can lead us to Pierre. You must have taken a lot of money to take Pierre in. Now that you've failed to protect him, all of you are responsible for this."
Oswald and Flynn lowered their heads and remained silent.
Karen added, "But as long as you keep quiet about this, I'll not hold you accountable for this. Also, to make sure that you're telling the truth, I'll ask someone to take you to the hospital for a blood test. If you were drugged before Pierre was taken away, I'll let it slide. But if it isn't like what you've said, I'll hold you accountable for this. After all, you've received a large sum of money after breaking into Pierre's office. You took the money but you didn't do your job well. It's your fault."
Oswald and Flynn exchanged glances with each other. They were uncertain about being drugged last night.
However, only being drugged could explain why they did not hear anything last night.
“Mr. Bennet, ask the chauffeur to send them to the hospital," instructed Karen.
“Yes, Madam," replied Mr. Bennet as he immediately picked up his phone and made arrangements for the chauffeur to send Oswald and Flynn to the hospital.
“We don't know who took Pierre away now, so keep this to yourself. Head to the address they've given us and check the surveillance cameras on the street nearby. I have to find out who took Pierre away today!" Karen clenched her fists. She was worried the person who took Pierre away would take his life.
Pierre had offended so many people before.
“Yes, Madam." Mr. Bennet immediately made arrangements for it.
Before Oswald and Flynn could realize it, they were taken to the hospital by the chauffeur.
Karen sat on the sofa and glanced at the time. Then, she asked Mr. Bennet, “Did you get everything ready?"
“Madam, our men are on their way to 13, District 15," replied Mr. Bennet, “It'll take some time as it's located on the outskirts of the city."
Karen shot a glance at the clock on the wall again. She had to tell Old Master Mallory about this.
Pierre could be killed if this was not handled properly. “What time does Father wake up?"
“Old Master Mallory usually wakes up at 6:30 in the morning," answered Mr. Bennet. He dared not to disturb Old Master Mallory. He was still mad at Pierre for the ridiculous things that he had done before.
The reputation and prestige of the family that the past generation had built almost got destroyed by Pierre's capricious behavior. Old Master Mallory lost his reputation in front of everyone.
Even though those people appeared to be respectful to him, they were already laughing at him for failing to educate his descendants behind his back.
It might seem that Percy's and Pierre's father was responsible for international business, but the truth was, he refused to return because he was having an affair and had another family living abroad. There was nothing Old Master Mallory could do about it. He had no choice but to let him continue to be in charge of the businesses abroad.
However, Old Master Mallory also said that Karen was the only daughter-in-law he acknowledged.
That was why Karen had been helping Old Master Mallory manage Mallory Corporation.
Now, Percy was in a relationship with a woman who had skeletons in her closet despite his family's opposition. He even turned his back on his family and his brother because of that woman.
Everyone in the upper-class society knew about this, and rumors had been flying all over the city.
The ridiculous things that Pierre had done in the past also made Old Master Mallory lose his dignity. That was why it took such a long time for him to calm down.
“It's almost six o'clock now. Can't you wake him up?" Karen was so anxious that she could not sit still. She stood up and paced back and forth in front of the sofa.
“Madam, Old Master Mallory is still mad. It'd be better to tell him about this after he gets up." Mr. Bennet knew what she meant. She wanted him to wake Old Master Mallory up and inform him that Pierre had been kidnapped.
However, he did not want to tread on Old Master Mallory's toes either.
“Pierre has been kidnapped. His life could be in danger now!" Karen could not help but snap at him.
Mr. Bennet kept his eyes cast down. He had already followed Karen's instructions. Then, he said, "Madam, if they wanted Mr. Pierre's life, they wouldn't have kidnapped him. I'm afraid it's not just about taking him away. There has to be some ulterior motive."
"What can it be?" Karen knew Mr. Bennet was reluctant to wake Old Master Mallory up, but she dared not to do so either.
Percy's and Pierre's affairs had caused her to be scolded by Old Master Mallory lately.
Karen even thought Old Master Mallory might refuse to acknowledge the three of them if they caused any trouble again. Perhaps he would take notice of her husband's illegitimate children who lived
abroad.
Mr. Bennet looked down. It was difficult for him to guess what the kidnapper was up to.
"Argh! You..." Karen hesitated. "You, find someone to keep an eye on Luke. Let me know as soon as they see any signs of Pierre."
"Yes, Madam." Even though Mr. Bennet did not think it was Luke who took Pierre away, he listened to her and did what he was told.
Luke's men had already gotten the information they wanted from Pierre. Even though the information given to them was fake, it was unlikely that Luke would kidnap Piere.
Those men who said that they were Luke's subordinates did not take Pierre away that day. They did not tell the police where Pierre was either. Even though the information they obtained was fake, there was no way they could have kidnapped him.
