Female Novel
Chapter 2087
Something came across Percy's mind. Then he said, “Speaking of this, regarding the matter that youinstructed Adrian to investigate, he looked up and found out that the IP address is located in this city. IfDr. Craw was the one who tipped you off, then who sent the email?" said Percy. Was she not afraid thatshe would get caught by asking someone to tip Luke off?
"She has a nominal brother here," Luke reminded him while he made some tea.
Percy patted the table. He hardly remembered Luca's brother. If it had not been for Luke reminding himabout his existence, Percy would have forgotten him.
"If that's what her brother did, then her brother must be a computer geek. He's probably better thanAdrian." Percy could not help but exclaim. After all, if it was really Amur who did it, they had alreadygone up against each other a few times.
However, Adrian could only find out that his IP address was located in this city. He could not go intofurther details. It was only because the other party was swift inhis actions, so Adrian did not manage totrack him down further.
Percy could not help but feel sorry for Luca's brother at the thought of this. That nominal brother ofLuca's must be one of the members of the Island of Despair too. What a pity that he was working forthem.
It was a waste of his talent, and he was also risking his life to work for the organization.
Otherwise, Percy would have offered an olive branch to Amur.
"Those who managed to come out alive from the Island of Despair are all skilled." Luke had been therebefore, so he knew what it was like inside.
Including Luca...
Luca had gone through a lot of training and hardships to become who she was today. She clenched herteeth, endured it, and made it through. Only then she was able to get out of the Island of Despair.
Even though Luca's target was Luke, Luke remembered how weak Luca used to be in the past. Shespent her days there for three years, and other than the rage that Luke felt within him, he felt helplessand sorry for her.
He could not protect the woman he loved the most when she was going through her most difficulttimes.
Percy had never gone to the Island of Despair before, but he could name everything that the Island ofDespair had done.
Those measures did not seem like what an ordinary bodyguard could do.
“What are we supposed to do now that we've found out about these?" Percy looked at Luke. Luke didnot suffer any losses after what happened, and Percy was the one who suffered real losses this time.
However, it was Pierre's fault for purchasing Luke's bid document through illegal channels.
After all, Pierre was thinking of getting the partnership without effort. He even thought of making Lukelose the right to join the bid this time. What a wicked idea he had in his mind.
That was why Percy had no choice but to support Luke no matter what he was going to do. Pierreended up in such a mess all because he brought it upon himself.
As Pierre's elder brother, Percy had warned him earlier not to mess with Luke, but he refused to listento him. He chose to take this path, and it served him right.
"I'm still thinking about it," said Luke. He needed an explanation for the stolen bidding document.
Otherwise, it would arouse Luca's suspicion.
Although he had already prepared for this, what was he going to do after dispelling Luca's suspicion?What method should he use to lure the mastermind of the Island of Despair out?
"Then what about Pierre? How do you intend to punish him? I can help as long as it's not about takinghis life," said Pierre. Although he disagreed with what Pierre had done, they were brothers, after all.
Luke could take Pierre's life, but he could not let Percy know about it.
"Where does Old Master Mallory stand on this?" Luke asked.
"Now, the old master prefers not to know about it. After what happened last time, he sent someone toinvestigate the matter. Even though it was his mother and the others who helped to clean up the mess,the old master managed to find out something else. That's why he's annoyed and fed up with Pierrewhenever he sees him," said Percy.
Although things had turned out this way, Old Master Mallory did not stop giving him dirty looks justbecause of this.
It was because Percy insisted on being together with Nina.novelbin
Now that the old master refused to see either of the two brothers, Percy believed that someone elsewould have taken over the company if there were other successors in the Mallory family. He wouldhave nothing to do with it.
"Fed up, huh..." An idea came into Luke's mind as he listened to Percy.
Since Pierre bought the bidding document from someone on the Island of Despair, then he must have away to communicate with the people of the Island of Despair.
Moreover, perhaps the person whom Pierre talked to was a pivotal figure of the Island of Despair. If hecould get the answers from Pierre, then he would have another lead for the investigation.
Although Pierre refused to tell anything now, that did not mean he would not say anything later.
"Hand him to Old Master Mallory tomorrow. Then, leave the rest to me," said Luke. He knew that Percywas concerned about the relationship between him and Pierre. It would be better not to let himparticipate in certain things.
"Sure. I'll bring him back to the Mallory family's manor tomorrow and inform Old Master Mallory aboutit," said Pierre.
Old Master Mallory would certainly criticize and lecture Pierre after he knew what happened. However,no matter how much he lectured him, Pierre was still his youngest grandson. The old master would notbe too strict with him.
However, things would certainly end badly for Pierre if Luke interfered with it.
Percy picked up a cup of tea, thinking of toasting Luke. He said, "I've been sitting here for such a longtime and I haven't congratulated you for getting the project."
Luke picked up his cup of tea and toasted with him. "I have to thank Mallory Corporation's support inmaking this happen."
"Well said. Making money together, that's what makes us good brothers," said Percy. MalloryCorporation and T Corporation had an indivisible stakeholder relationship.
Mallory Corporation would gain benefit from it when T Corporation got the project.
Pierre knew about this, but he got in Luke's way, thinking of making Luke a fool in front of everyone.That was why Percy would not defend Pierre this time no matter what.
Not only did he try to ruin the benefits and interests of others, but he even wanted to ruin the family'sinterests for the sake of his benefits. Would the Mallory family be able to depend on him in the future?
The answer was obvious.
On the other hand.
Luca headed downstairs after she finished tidying up her clothes in the luggage.
She came to the stairs. Then, she glanced in the direction of the tea room. The door of the tea roomwas usually left open, but it was closed now. It seemed like Luke and Percy were still discussing theirmatters.
What were they talking about?
Was it about the bidding document?
Luke never mentioned that Pierre had stolen the bidding document when they were in Russia. He didnot suspect why Pierre was able to get the bidding document in front of her either.
Was he waiting to deal with her when they came back here?
Luca let out a sigh. She would have to be mentally prepared if Luke was going to deal with her.
She was satisfied to have been able to keep Luke company all this time.
Aunt Neile walked out of the dining hall and saw Luca standing at the stairway. She asked, "Ms. Craw,why are you standing there?"
"Nothing. Is Mr. Crawford still discussing matters with Mr. Mallory?" Luca asked.
"Yes. It seems like the two of them are talking about something important. They asked me to close thedoor," Aunt Neile smiled and replied. Then, she asked Luca, "Dr. Craw, it's almost lunchtime. Do I haveto prepare lunch for Mr. Mallory?"
