Chapter 2701
Madam Mallory had just finished talking the moment the door was opened
Jason, who stood outside the door, heard their conversation. He did not ask her anything as he watched Madam Mallory leave with a gloomy expression on her face. He saw her enter the elevator, and only then did he enter Luke's office.
"Boss." Jason was carrying a tray with a cup of coffee on it.
The cup of coffee was supposed to be Madam Mallory's. However, he did not expect the woman who came on strong to leave so angrily. It did not take long for their conversation to end.
"That's alright." Luke glanced at the cup of coffee and continued to work as though nothing happened.
He did not take what Madam Mallory said seriously.
There would not be any evidence that he had ever done something like that.
Jason was tempted and asked, "Boss, Madam Mallory looks angry just now. Did something happen?"
"Pierre has been kidnapped. She thinks I'm behind it and asked me to let him go," answered Luke. His eyes never left the document.
Jason was dumbfounded for a moment as he remained rooted to the spot.
Madam Mallory did not come to ask for Luke's help to solve Pierre's problem. She came to ask him to let Pierre go.
It seemed like Jason got it wrong this time.
However, he was surprised to know that Pierre had been kidnapped. After all, no one would dare to offend the bossy young master of the Mallory family even though he had become a public enemy now.
Who would have the guts to kidnap him?
Could it be that it was someone he had bullied before?
Jason's expression changed as he guessed.
"Why are you standing there?" Luke looked up and asked when he noticed that Jason had not left yet.
Jason came back to his senses and immediately went out of his office.
He carried the tray and returned to his office. Then, he called the receptionist. Even after making sure that Madam Mallory had left, he was still overwhelmed.
No one knew who kidnapped Pierre, and Madam Mallory thought it was Luke who did it. Furthermore, she threatened Luke that she would look for evidence to prove that he was behind this and send him to prison.
It was crazy...
Was it really Madam Mallory who said that?
Half a minute later, Jason's intercom phone rang.
He immediately answered it and said, “Yes, Boss?"
“Has Percy's mother left?" asked Luke.
"I confirmed with the receptionist just now. She's already left," answered Jason. "The receptionist saw her leaving."
"Tell her I'm not in the office when she comes next time." Luke hung up the call after that.
He had a feeling that Madam Mallory would return. She would not easily give up.
Then, Luke sent a message to Percy: [Your mother came to T Corporation just now. She asked me to hand Pierre over to her.]
A few seconds later, Percy called him. "She went there?"
"Yes. She said she's going to call the police," replied Luke. This was the Mallory family's affair, and Luke had nothing to do with it. Thus, he was hoping that Percy could solve the problem.
"How ridiculous. She wouldn't have said that if she dared to call the police." Percy knew his mother well.
Even though she claimed that she would call the police, she was reluctant to hand Pierre over to the police. Hence, his subordinates reported to him that even though she knew Pierre had been kidnapped, she had not called the police yet.
It was because once she called the police, the next place Pierre would be staying in would be the police station.
"She'll continue to keep an eye on me. Settle this as soon as possible if you're not busy," said Luke. Percy and Old Master Mallory were probably the only reasonable ones in the Mallory family now.
Pierre was insane. He always acted recklessly without thinking about the consequences.
Madam Mallory had been badly influenced by Pierre too.
"I'll settle this as soon as possible." Percy pondered for a moment. He was not a man who would easily apologize to others. However, what the Mallory family did had affected Luke. Percy took the initiative to apologize. "I'm sorry to cause you so much trouble."
"Don't mention it. I'm off to a meeting." Luke hung up the call after he finished talking on the phone. He picked up the meeting minutes Jason sent to him this morning and headed to the meeting room.
On the other hand.
Mr. Bennet sat in a car, watching Madam Mallory leave T Corporation's building. After Madam Mallory's car left, he called Old Master Mallory.
"Old Master Mallory, Madam Mallory has already left, but she looked angry. It seems that she didn't get what she wanted," Mr. Bennet reported to the man on the other end of the line.
"Luke didn't kidnap Pierre, so how could she have gotten what she wants? Even if she searches the whole T Corporation and all of Luke's properties, there's no way she can find him," Old Master Mallory replied in an unfriendly tone.
"You're right," replied Mr. Bennet. “Old Master Mallory, do I have to follow Madam now?"
"Follow her. Don't let her cause any trouble at critical moments," reminded Old Master Mallory.
He only wanted his daughter-in-law to stay calm now instead of going to someone else's place to look for her son like a crazy woman.
“Yes, Sir. I'll follow her." Mr. Bennet hung up the call and followed behind Madam Mallory's car.
He maintained a safe distance from Madam Mallory's car. That was why she did not notice him. However, Mr. Bennet was able to speculate that Madam Mallory's next destination would be Crawford Manor as he followed behind her.
Madam Mallory thought she might as well head to Crawford Manor when she did not get anything out of her meeting with Luke.
Mr. Bennet shook his head helplessly, thinking of stopping Madam Mallory's car. However, on second thought, even if he managed to stop her this time, she would still find another opportunity to bother Old Master Crawford because she thought that Luke was the one who kidnapped Pierre.
Pierre had disgraced the Mallory family, and now Madam Mallory was continuing to disgrace the family.
The mother and son could really do anything when they lost their mind. They even forgot who they were.
It would all end with the Mallory family losing face.
Mr. Bennet watched Madam Mallory park the car at the outdoor parking outside Crawford Manor from afar.
He had no choice but to park the car beside the street. He received a call when he was about to report to Old Master Mallory.
Mr. Bennet glanced at his phone screen. The moment he lifted his head, he saw that Madam Mallory had already walked into Crawford Manor.
It was too late to stop her.
Mr. Bennet answered the call. “Master Percy."
“Where's my mother?" asked Percy.
“I'm following her right now. She's in Crawford Manor..." answered Mr. Bennet. His voice was full of helplessness due to everything that Madam Mallory was doing.
“This is ridiculous. What happened to Pierre?" Percy asked again.
He was not planning to get involved in it when he knew that Pierre was kidnapped. Based on how powerful the Mallory family was, it was only a matter of time before they found him.
Besides, the biggest reason the kidnapper kidnapped Pierre was for the sake of money.
They would have to contact the Mallory family to ask for the ransom. Everything would proceed smoothly after that.
Moreover, the relationship between the brothers was ruined by Pierre after everything he had done in the past few years.
Hence, Percy was not worried when he found out that Pierre had been kidnapped.
"All our men know at the moment is Master Percy has been taken away. We'll only be able to find out the kidnapper's identity and the route they took tonight," reported Mr. Bennet.
