The noises the two of them made pissed Oswald off when he was trying hard to figure out what to do. “Shut the f*ck up!”The two men stopped talking and turned to look at Oswald.Oswald massaged his aching temples and said, “We can’t hide this, but we can’t tell the police either. We should inform the Mallory family.”“Are we really going to tell the Mallory family about this?” One of the men shivered for a moment.It was them who failed to protect Pierre. If the Mallory family blamed them for this, they might give them a hard time. “We have to. Pierre is on the wanted list now, and he was taken away. We can’t hide this from anyone. The Mallory family won’t call the police even if they find out about it. At most, they’ll just scold us,” analyzed Oswald.The two men nodded their heads as they listened.They were not really afraid because the house belonged to Oswald. Pierre was taken away by someone else in this house, and they had nothing to do with it.“Oswald, do you have M
Mr. Bennet already believed what Oswald said was true when they told him about the burglary at Pierre’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 know you’re working for Mr. Pierre. We won’t call the police if you’re Mr. Pierre’s men. You only have to tell me 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 suspect something was wrong, so we stole so
“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 telecommunicat
If Luke really intended to kidnap Pierre, the previous incident would not have happened.One would not suspect Luke if one was able to think this through calmly. After all, someone who managed T Corporation would not go as far as giving himself the chance to dirty his hands. However, Karen was worried about Pierre’s situation now. She cared about him, and that was why she suspected it was Luke who did it.Mr. Bennet thought it would be better not to remind Karen about this. He had no choice but to follow her instructions. In the hospital.Oswald and Flynn were brought to the outpatient clinic at the hospital by the chauffeur. The chauffeur used the Mallory family’s status to request the doctor to do a blood test for the two of them.After they drew their blood and tested it, the two of them followed behind the chauffeur and sat down on the chairs outside the corridor of the hospital while waiting for the blood test result."Brother Oswald, if the blood test result turns out to
Johann replied playfully the moment he replied to Luke: [Yo, you're finally awake, huh?]Luke replied: [?]Then, Percy sent another message too. [Who is it?]After a while, Johann sent the two men’s personal details to the group chat. The hospital’s patient management system was connected to the healthcare system. Hence, Johann could easily find out a patient’s identity and background through the hospital’s system.Luke looked at Oswald’s and Flynn’s information. He leaned against the headboard and replied: [They took Pierre in.][Is he hiding in their house?] Percy had the address Luke gave him, but he did not look for Pierre. That was why he could not recognize Oswald and Flynn.However, Luke recognized the two of them.[Yes.] Luke was sure about it. Gale’s subordinates even sent Oswald’s personal details to him when they followed Pierre to his house.Therefore, there was no way he could remember it wrongly.Luke opened his conversation with Gale on the phone, screenshotted
One of the men dragged Pierre out of the car.Thump! Pierre knelt on the ground.The man frowned and asked, “What’s the matter with him?”“He fought back, so I did something to him.” Amur shot a glance at Pierre’s weak legs and casually explained.“Ugh!” The man dragged Pierre and walked toward the house.Amur followed behind them.When they entered the house, the man tied Pierre to a chair and took the piece of cloth stuffed in his mouth out.“I’m gonna kill you!” Pierre yelled angrily at Amur the moment the gag in his mouth was taken off.The stabbing pain in his right leg made him realize what Amur did to him after he drugged him. Pierre tried to lift his leg, but he soon realized he could not.He knew his leg was broken.Amur looked at the twisted and ferocious expression on Pierre’s face coldly. He asked for it.He chose to mess with Luca and Abel instead of living his comfortable life as the second young master of the Mallory family. It served him right for ending up
Pierre knew that his investigation had upset the man in front of him, so he said, “What would it take for you to let me go?”“Haha. Mr. Pierre, do you think I went through all of that to kidnap you just so that I could let you go?” Abel laughed out loud as if he had just heard a joke.The men behind him started laughing too.“You’re simply delusional to be thinking of escaping the clutches of our boss.” They laughed out loud again after hearing that comment.Pierre scanned the room to see that the only person in the house who did not laugh was the person who kidnapped him.“Shut up,” Abel immediately reprimanded his laughing subordinates.The sound of laughter came to an abrupt stop.Abel put a halt to the banter and said with a straight face, “How could you say that he’s delusional? Nothing is impossible.”Pierre was stunned to find out that he still had a chance.However, he knew that getting this chance from Abel was not going to be easy and that he might have to pay a big
“Oh?” Abel crossed his legs again to listen to what he had to offer.“I’ll give you money, and you’ll help me deal with Luke and Percy. I want them to disappear off the face of the earth,” Pierre said relentlessly.He knew that the person sitting in front of him could accomplish that.He was equally as powerful as Luke and Percy.“Luke? Percy?” Abel sneered and asked, “Do you have money?”“The Mallory family does,” replied Pierre. He knew that the Mallory family would never pay someone to get rid of Percy, so the only thing he could do was to make a deal with the man in a mask in front of him.“How naive. Do you really think that the Mallory family will agree to let me get rid of Percy?” Abel asked as he had heard stuff about the Mallory family thanks to Pierre.He looked Pierre in the eye. If he were not a member of the Mallory family, he might have even taken pity on him and let him onto the Island of Despair.As someone who was cruel enough to want to kill his own brother, h
