With the way things turned out, there was no doubt that it was more difficult for them to look into the case.
Hence, those men who were sent there could only watch the surveillance footage provided by the relevant
department while they waited for nightfall. They could only ask for the rest of the surveillance footage when the
shops were opened.
That was the only way to find out where Pierre had been taken to.
“No way! That's too inefficient!" Madam Mallory shook her head and instructed Mr. Bennet, “Ask them to check with
the state secretary and find out who owns those businesses. We have to get the surveillance footage as soon as
possible."
“Yes, Madam." Mr. Bennet had no choice but to follow her instructions.
Mr. Bennet picked up his phone and gave his orders. He received a message from his subordinates at the same
time.
He was startled for a moment when he saw the message. He pondered for a moment and decided to inform
Madam Mallory. "Madam, I've got some news for you. Our men reported that they saw Luke's men wandering near
the house like they're keeping watch."
"Luke's men!" Madam Mallory immediately leaped to her feet. "It must be him who took Pierre away. That's why he
sent his subordinates to take a look at the scene and find out what's going on now."
“Madam, it's hard to tell who actually took Master Pierre away," reminded Mr. Bennet. However, he thought it would

Luke would not have sent his men to be on a stakeout outside the building if he was behind this.
Luke would never make a move that would so easily expose him.
"It must be him. Who else could it be? He sent his men to question Pierre back then. Then, he kidnapped Pierre and
even sent his men back there to see what's going on now. He doesn't want to make it a big deal. I'm going to see
him and ask him to let Pierre go," said Madam Mallory as she picked up the coat beside her and walked toward the
door.
“Enough!" Old Master Mallory's voice was full of majesty, and it stopped Madam Mallory from leaving.
“Father, I'm not doing anything wrong. Pierre's life might be in danger now. I have to meet Luke and ask him to let
Pierre go." Madam Mallory clenched her teeth.
“Are you sure that he's the one who did it?" Old Master Mallory's eyes were blazing with anger. He had the same
thought as Mr. Bennet.
If Luke was the one who kidnapped Pierre, there was no need for him to let his men wander around and expose
himself. Luke would have known better.
"He looked for Pierre and questioned him back then. That makes him a suspect. Besides, no one knows about this
yet. Why are his subordinates hanging around nearby if it wasn't Luke who sent someone to kidnap Pierre?" Madam
Mallory blindly thought that Luke had something to do with this.
When Old Master Mallory saw how obsessed Karen was with the idea that Luke had something to do with it, he
questioned her, “Do you have to ruin the relationship between the Mallory family and the Crawford family today?”
Madam Mallory bit her lip. She did not expect Old Master Mallory to say that the situation would take a turn for the
worse.
However, there was no way she would compromise this time. Pierre would have to continue suffering if she could
not find out where he was now. “Father, it's Luke who doesn't care about the relationship between the Mallory
family and the Crawford family. He kidnapped Pierre. You're saying that I'm ruining the relationship between the
families, but it's not me who started it."
"Hmph. Of course, it didn't start with you. It was your son who ruined it first!" Old Master Mallory snapped.
Old Master Mallory had been mad at Pierre for the past few days. He had been recalling what he had done to clean
up Pierre's mess in the past few years.
He initially thought that Pierre was the best of the best. However, he finally realized that Pierre was not as good as
Percy at this point.
It was just that he was unable to control Percy. That was why he chose Pierre instead.
Old Master Mallory was disappointed in Pierre now.
Madam Mallory was dumbfounded for a moment. She simply put on her coat and said something harsh, "Father,
Pierre is your grandson. He broke your heart and disappointed you after everything he did. Even so, he's still related
to you. How can you be so heartless? Why do you still care about the relationship between the two families? Why
are you stopping me?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Oh, I know you're not short of grandchildren. Other than Percy and Pierre, you still have a few mixed- race
illegitimate grandchildren out there. You can give up on Percy and cast Pierre out of the family. Then, you can take
them home and kick me out of the Mallory family."
"Damn you!" Old Master Mallory did not expect her to say something like that.
Old Master Mallory's son had an affair with another woman abroad and had a family there. He knew all about it.
However, the old master did not compromise just because it was his son and grandchildren.
After all, he only acknowledged Percy and Pierre's mother as his daughter-in-law.
Hence, he let Percy and Pierre's father stay abroad and made him busy by leaving the businesses abroad that were
not so important to him. It was to stop him and his illegitimate children from coming back home.
What Madam Mallory just said to him hit him where it hurt. It made him feel bitterly disappointed.
"Madam, Old Master Mallory has always seen you as his daughter-in-law. How could you say something like that?!"
Mr. Bennet stood beside the old master with a surprised look on his face.
Madam Mallory's eyes reddened as she said with determination, "I'm going to meet Luke today no matter what it
takes. And I'll bring Pierre back here. Father, you can do whatever you want to punish me, but please let me find
Pierre. We'll talk about this later."
She immediately left the living room after that.
"Old Master Mallory, what should we do?" asked Mr. Bennet.
