Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle
Chapter 2958 Squeeze Out A Hefty Ransom

"Boss, do we really not need to worry about Madam Mallory's rumors anymore?" After Jason had taken down his notes, he inquired about his boss" thoughts.

After all, they had been controlling public opinion. They had people commenting on unfavorable comments about Percy and the Mallory family, shifting the focus back to Karen herself.

Therefore, this matter did not have much impact on Percy and the Mallory family.

Instead, some people were beginning to sympathize with Daryl Mallory, who had been absent from the public eye for over a decade.

"Don't worry. Percy has already asked for him," said Luke. Once Percy asked for the man, Karen's news would come to an end. They would have to find bigger news to overshadow that report. Jason nodded, indicating that he understood. Then, he asked, “Will the scandals of those two celebrities be dropped all at once, or will they be spaced out?"

"Space out," said Luke as he glanced at the project proposal.

"Understood!" Jason picked up the documents he had organized and tucked them into his arms before leaving the office.

Luke reviewed the proposal for a while and massaged his temples. Then, he called Rain.

"Boss, what can I do for you?" asked Rain after answering the call

"Percy has already asked for the address. You get the others to pull out first, then just keep an eye on things from the shadows. When the Mallory family’s subordinates hunt down that man, you guys can hit the road," instructed Luke.

The man whom Karen had a relationship with was named Cuthbert Stevens. After Luke found him, he gave him some money and arranged for him to stay in a five-star hotel, providing him with good food and drinks.

However, it was Rain's subordinates who had been making all the arrangements. Rain had not even shown up, so Cuthbert had no idea who was behind all this.

Cuthbert had gone through some tough times. That was why he readily accepted the money and enjoyed a comfortable life in the five-star hotel, agreeing to be interviewed as per their request. Rain's team had never stopped keeping an eye on him, but Cuthbert paid no attention to it. He had no idea he was being watched

He thought those men around him were there to protect him.

He never bothered to inquire about the person behind these requests. He was only focused on enjoying his current life.

Now that Percy wanted to help Karen to look for him, Luke could not afford to let Rain's subordinates be exposed. Karen might seize the opportunity to stir up trouble and involve Old Master Crawford.

“Got it, Boss.” Rain knew what he meant.

If Cuthbert was caught by the Mallory family, they would withdraw from the situation. What might happen to Cuthbert was not their concern.

After all, they had already tossed some cash to Cuthbert. It was just a deal, so there was no need for them to be responsible for his safety.

"After the Mallory family finds that man, you can continue to assist Gale," instructed Luke. Gale was currently busy investigating the Island of Despair, and he needed manpower.

"No problem," replied Rain. She initially wanted to investigate the Island of Despair herself, but Luke needed her to monitor Cuthbert. Hence, she temporarily assigned a few team members to take turns and keep watch day and night.

When Rain heard that she was able to go back to investigate the Island of Despair, she was excited. After giving his orders, Luke ended the call. After a few seconds, Jack's call came through.

"Luke, how's it going?" Jack asked when he found a moment to call Luke.

"Father, don’t worry. It's almost done,” replied Luke. His gaze deepened when he mentioned Luca. Soon.

Luca would soon be able to reclaim her true identity and return to their side.

"Okay. Your mother is getting bored staying at the hospital. We should resolve this matter as soon as possible. I can't afford to neglect my project. I won't be involved in the development from now on to avoid arousing suspicion. You'll have to rely on your company's capabilities to secure it," Jack said.

The relevant departments had already announced the companies participating in the upcoming bidding this morning

After T Corporation's name was revealed, Jack stated that due to his relationship with Luke, he would not continue attending the project bidding-related meetings. He also requested that the bidding process be thorough and that the results be made public to ensure fairness and transparency.

"Okay, I got it. Father, rest assured,” said Luke. In all things, fairness and justice were the bedrock of Jack's philosophy.

He knew that Jack would not actively support him, and neither had Luke ever intended to ask for Jack's help.

T Corporation's rapid development was all due to his own capabilities without relying on others. If Luke himself were not strong, no one else could lift his company up.

It would be better for Jack to not be involved in this. Luke would rely on the company’s strength to participate in this bidding.

Satisfied with his response, Jack ended the call.

After that, Luke continued to review the initial proposal, identifying issues and planning to coordinate with relevant departments to enhance the content of this tender.

On the other hand, Amur stood with his head down.

In front of him, Abel was seated on a soft couch. His body sunk into it, up to his waist. The ambiance here was steeped in an air of enigmatic mystery.

Several people positioned elsewhere in the room had very serious expressions on their faces except for Abel, who had a hint of a mysterious smile on his face.

"Has that old Mallory guy managed to get that wimp, Pierre Mallory, out?" asked Abel as he twirled a cigar in his long fingers back and forth, as though it was a toy gun.

"Not yet, but that old man has submitted the necessary paperwork. The police will release him shortly,” one of the men reported in a hushed tone. There was a hint of fear in his voice.

"That old Mallory guy is just as annoying as Pierre Mallory,” Abel muttered to himself. He remembered that not only did the Mallory family fail to pay the ransom, but they also destroyed a bunch of his new weapons. It caused him significant financial losses. His spirits just would not lift. He had hoped to have the police officers temporarily control Pierre, but the old man from the Mallory family had surprised him by swiftly cleaning up the mess Pierre caused.

Now, with Pierre about to be released, Abel found himself unable to regain control of Pierre and squeeze out a hefty ransom. It left him even more frustrated.

"Boss, he's just an old man. Why don't I get rid of him? That way, no one can interfere with our operation,” suggested one of the men. They tended to use this approach for anyone who got in their way so that they could continue their mission.

Abel glared at the man and yelled, "Do you have a brain?!"

The man shuddered for a moment, not daring to say anything.

"Pierre has fallen out with Percy. If we go after Pierre, Percy wouldn't give a shit about it. But going after that old Mallory guy isn't that simple. Pierre will definitely cling to the Island of Despair. "We're in this for the money right now, not to make new enemies,” explained Abel as he flicked his cigar onto the person in front of him.

He needed more money to get rid of Luke Crawford. They were currently in the money-making phase, and they could not afford to stir up more trouble.
