Female Novel
Chapter 2691
Mr. Bennet already believed what Oswald said was true when they told him about the burglary atPierre's office.
However, he erred on the side of caution and asked them to tell him more about the details.
Oswald looked at him. He hesitated whether or not he should tell Mr. Bennet more about it.
If he told Mr. Bennet the burglary he committed in detail, he would be in deep trouble in case Mr.Bennet called the police.
Mr. Bennet noticed that Oswald had been quiet. He knew what Oswald was worried about. He said,“Don't worry. I just want to make sure that you're telling the truth. If what you said is true, then we knowyou're working for Mr. Pierre. We won't call the police if you're Mr. Pierre's men. You only have to tellme the details of the burglary."
"Well, we broke into Mr. Pierre's office that night, and we stole everything he kept in the safebox—documents, cash, and stuff he kept in the drawers. We were afraid that the police would suspectsomething was wrong, so we stole something from the financial department too. Most of them werecash. I didn't steal the phones the employees left in the office. We left after that. Oh, the one who ledthe way for us was Mr. Pierre's secretary. She can prove it. She met Mr. Pierre at my house back then,"explained Oswald. He clenched his teeth angrily at the thought of the pretty secretary whom Leroy tookalong with him.
"Come in." Mr. Bennet immediately invited him into the house.
There was no difference between the police's investigation results and what Oswald told him.
There were only two rooms that had been broken into at Pierre's office. One of them was thepresident's office, and another one was the financial department.
Pierre was not at the office. That was why no one knew what he kept there. The police reported thatthe sealed safebox was violently pried open and the burglar stole everything kept in it.
Also, the employees working at the financial department stated that the company's cash had beenstolen too.
The details Oswald gave him were the same as the police's report.
Oswald and Flynn exchanged glances with each other and followed Mr. Bennet into the house.
Mr. Bennet told them to wait in the living room. Then, he went up the stairs in a hurry.
Oswald looked at the luxurious living room of Mallory Manor. He could not help but exclaim, "So, this iswhat a rich man's house looks like. There's a world of difference between his place and that pigpen ofmine."
"Yes. Mr. Pierre's family is extremely rich." Flynn could not help but exclaim, "Mr. Oswald, why isn't Mr.Pierre hiding here when he lives in such a big house? The police officers wouldn't be able to find him ifhe hides in one of the corners. He doesn't have to go as far as staying at our shabby house."
Oswald lifted his hand and hit Flynn on his head. "Use your brain. Would Old Master Mallory be happyto find out what Mr. Pierre had done? Are there any other places he can go other than our place?"
Flynn bared his teeth in a grimace and stroked his head. “Will they be able to find out where Mr. Pierreis if we tell them that he's been kidnapped?”
“I have no idea, but we have to tell them about it. At the very least, Mr. Pierre's mother cares abouthim,” replied Oswald. He had heard Pierre talking to his mother on the phone before.
Other than telling Pierre how things were going on there, Oswald could see how much she cared forPierre.
Hence, Oswald reckoned that Madam Mallory would not give up on Pierre.
She was not a heartless person.
“Oh.” Flynn nodded. Now that he was here, he had no choice but to listen to Oswald.
“I've been standing for a long time. I'm tired,” complained Flynn as he stared at the expensive sofa inthe living room. It was completely different from the one in their house.
He had never sat on such an expensive sofa before, and he wanted to try how it felt like sitting on it.
“Look at yourself. You're a complete mess. Don's sit on it. What are we going to do if we dirty the sofaand we're asked to compensate for it?” reminded Oswald. He dared not to sit on that sofa.
After all, he could not afford to pay the price of a single piece of furniture in Pierre's house.
“It's not that serious. We took Mr. Pierre in, and we're telling them that he's been kidnapped. Theyshould thank us.” Flynn thought they were Pierre's savior.
No matter how low their status was, the Mallory family should not treat Pierre's savior that way.
“Hah, we're like sinners to them now. We broke into Mr. Pierre's office and failed to protect him. It'd bekind of them not to blame us for what happened. What benefit are you trying to gain from them?”Oswald was not as positive as Flynn was.
Flynn pursed his lips, not knowing what to say.
Half a minute later, Karen made her way down the stairs in a hurry.
Her hair was messy, and she looked a little drowsy. It was obvious that she had been woken up.
“You're the one who took Pierre in?” Karen sized Oswald and Flynn up.
When Mr. Bennet knocked on Karen's bedroom door, he told her about the situation. After knowing thatPierre had been kidnapped, she could not be bothered to freshen herself up. She put on a coat andhurried downstairs.
“Yes, Mrs. Mallory. Mr. Pierre has been staying at our place after the incident.” Oswald's heart skippeda beat when he met Karen's sharp gaze.
Women like Karen were well-known entrepreneurs in the business world, and they had a powerful,compelling aura around them. Oswald could not help but act humbly in front of her.
“Mr. Bennet verified your identities, but I still have my doubts.” Even though Karen was worried aboutPierre, she thought it would be better for her to be more careful and not be fooled by the two of them.
Oswald was startled for a moment. He did not expect Karen to be so cautious. A string of numbersflashed across Oswald's mind, and he said, “Mrs. Mallory, Mr. Pierre called you on the landline before.The phone number is 223*****."
Karen took her phone out and checked her recent call history.
It was just like what Oswald said. She sat on the sofa with a stern expression on her face. "Take aseat."
Oswald and Flynn patted the dust off their clothes and carefully sat on the sofa.
"As you said, Pierre has been staying at your house. What happened?" Karen stared at the two of themwith a serious expression on her face.
Oswald told Karen what really happened.
"Give me your home address." There was a hint of anxiety in Karen's voice. She was worried aboutPierre.
Oswald dared not to slight her and immediately replied, "13, District 15."
Karen shot a glance at Mr. Bennet, who stood beside her.
Mr. Bennet said in a low voice, "Madam Mallory, I've noted it down."
"Has anyone come to your house in the past few days?" asked Karen. She was worried that it was oneof Pierre's enemies who took him away.
His enemies included Luke Crawford, and her eldest son, Percy.
"Yes. A man named Leroy came and asked Mr. Pierre about something. He broke down my door andwas hard on Mr. Pierre. He even threatened Mr. Pierre and said that he would call the police and askthem to arrest him if he refused to tell him the truth," replied Oswald. It had been quiet for the past fewdays other than the incident that happened last night.
"Do you know who Leroy works for?" Karen immediately asked.
"Mr. Pierre said he's one of Luke's men. They didn't take Mr. Pierre along with him after they asked himsome questions..." Oswald recalled. He knew who Luke Crawford was. That was why he rememberedit.novelbin
