Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle by Heap Heap

Pierre's expression remained the same. Even after Jason saw through his nonsense, he did not feel even the

slightest bit of guilt. He turned to shout, “How can you believe him? I summoned you guys here as witnesses to

prove that the bidding document incident has nothing to do with me. In fact, I'm a victim as well. As police, aren't

you supposed to deal with such things?"

The officers did not utter a word.

Pierre added, "That guy, Luke, has been going to the Mallory family to give me a hard time. Now that I want to

straighten things out with him face to face, he's nowhere to be seen?"

"Boss is still working," Jason stood aside and said. He thought to himself about how ruthless Pierre's tactics were

and how much of a drama queen he was.

"How much longer will he take?" Pierre squinted his eyes with annoyance plastered on his face.

However, he did not pose a threat to Jason. A faint but polite smile could still be seen on Jason's face. "I'm not sure

about that either as Mr. Crawford is fully-booked today, but he'll deal with the tasks at hand as soon as possible.

He'll then come down here to listen to your explanation."

"Hmph." Pierre crossed his legs and glared at the man being held by the police.

He had spent a lot of money to get this man to agree to take the blame.

Jason sat down on an armchair and looked at the handcuffed man as he asked with great interest. "Mr. Pierre, what

position does this person hold in your company?"

Pierre rolled his eyes and took out a cigarette from his pocket while fumbling for a lighter. "It's none of your

business."

"I'm just curious. Besides, he doesn't look like one of the executives in your company..." Jason said thoughtfully while

giving that man another look.

The man who was being looked at lowered his head out of guilt.

He was just a mere employee who got bribed by Pierre to become a scapegoat.

He was short of money, so he did not think twice when he agreed. However, he now realized that not only did he

have to face the police's interrogation but also Luke and others.

Just by looking at the assistant in front of him, he could tell that he was not to be trifled with.

Pierre searched everywhere, yet he could not find a lighter. As if he did not hear a word Jason said, he sat up and

asked the two police officers, "Do you have a lighter?"

The two police officers shook their heads simultaneously.

Pierre would not ask Jason for a lighter, so he put the cigarette back and looked at his phone screen.

Jason noticed that he did not say anything, so he continued to stare at the handcuffed man and asked, "What's your

name?"

"A-Archie Abbott," the man stuttered. Even though Jason had asked him the question with a smile, his aura was

rather imposing. Archie felt like he would not be able to handle it if Jason asked more questions.

"Mr. Abbott, what position do you hold in Mr. Pierre's company?" Jason continued to ask.

Archie bit his lip without answering. Instead, he looked at Pierre.

Pierre had not explained to him what he should do beforehand, so he was not clear on what to say and what not to

say.

Pierre met his gaze and raised his eyebrows. "What are you looking at? Just answer his questions. Sooner or later,

the police will ask you the same things anyway. Since someone's curious, just answer."

Archie nodded and looked at Jason as he replied, "I work in the planning department..."

Jason nodded and had no intention of inquiring further.

Archie let out a sigh of relief. It was a good thing that Jason did not ask any further, but he could not help but be a

little worried.

Jason was only an assistant, yet holding a conversation with him was already so stressful.

Luke was well-known to be grim. How was he going to mask his guilt and fear when facing Luke's interrogation

later?

Silence filled the reception room, and after 20 minutes, Pierre asked impatiently, "What is Luke putting on airs for?

Is he coming or not?"

"Mr. Pierre, wait a moment. I'll check with my boss. If he can't make it, then I'll have you come over some other

time." Jason stood up.

"Some other time?" Pierre was grim-faced. He had waited there for more than 20 minutes. Not only did Luke not

show up, but he had to come over again?

"Let me check for you," said Jason while ignoring Pierre's anger.

At that moment, the police officers stood up and looked at Pierre. "Mr. Pierre, we can't stay for long as we have

matters to take care of in the police station as well. If you have things to deal with, you can go to the police station

to do them. We're on standby 24 hours a day."

Pierre was furious. Just as he was about to burst into a rage, the door of the reception room was pushed open.

The few of them looked toward the door.

Jason breathed a sigh of relief as he saw Luke walk in. He knew that facing Pierre alone would not be easy.

"Boss!" Jason's voice was resounding. Then, he explained the current situation to Luke, "Mr. Pierre brought two

policemen over. He said that he wanted to explain to you about the theft of the bidding document."

Luke nodded slightly with a cold expression. He did not even look at Pierre but at the two police officers and lastly,

he looked at Archie. "I only have five minutes to spare."

Pierre snorted and turned to look at Archie. "Say it. Why did you steal T Corporation's bidding document?"

Archie trembled and said, “I actually didn't know it was T Corporation's bidding document..."

“You didn't know?" Pierre echoed his words.

"After the manager assigned tasks, I was put in charge of the bidding document. But I have little experience, so I

thought that buying a copy online would do. However, I couldn't find a suitable one, so I offered a reward. Someone

then came to me with that bidding document. After paying, I got it," Archie uttered the words Pierre had told him to

say in a panic.

Luke's gaze was terrifying.

After he finished, Luke still did not say a word. Archie spoke again, "There was no title that indicated it was T

Corporation's bidding document. It was empty. After purchasing it, all I had to do was fill in my company's name to

use it. I didn't expect the manager to actually submit my bidding document, then submit it to M Group.."

"The person who sold the bidding document to you, who was it?" asked Luke.

Archie shook his head and said, "I'm not sure. The transaction was done online. That person gave me a QR code,

and I scanned it to make the payment. It cost me almost 2,000 dollars.."

"Do you still have their contact information?" Luke continued to ask without exposing him.

The person in front of him was not very well-dressed. He did not look like he would have 2,000 dollars to spare to

buy a bidding document.

If Pierre's company actually got M Group's project, a chunk of the company bonus would fall into his hands.

However, the chances of getting the project were low, so there was no way that this wishy-washy man would risk

spending 2,000 dollars for Pierre's company.
