"Okay, Lanie and the others miss their grandpa and grandma too," Luke agreed, thinking
that Luca would be able to bring the kids back when she was done with her work in the
next few days.
"Great." Jack was very satisfied. At this moment, there was a knock on the door. He put
away the emotion in his voice and said, "Come in."
The secretary opened the door and knew that their conversation was over after seeing
that Luke had stood up. The secretary reminded Jack, "Sir, the next meeting is about to
start."
Jack nodded and looked at Luke. "I'll go to the meeting first. Remember to bring the kids
over for a meal on the weekend."
"Okay." Luke watched Jack and his secretary leave before leaving the provincial capital.
He did not go back to the T Corporation immediately after leaving the provincial capital.
Jack urged him to pick up the pace today and also told him a piece of news. Now, he
needed to pay the Mallories a visit.
After arriving at Mallory Tower, Luke took the elevator directly to Percy's office.
He pushed open the door and heard Percy say, "Here you are. Coffee is ready for you."
Luke walked in and sat on the chair opposite Percy.
Percy's assistant was smart. When Luke walked in, she knew they had something to talk
about, so she respectfully said, "Mr. Mallory, I'm going downstairs to work first."
"Close the door," Percy said, putting down the work at hand.
"Sure," Percy's assistant left the office and closed the door behind her.
Luke picked up the coffee that Percy's assistant had prepared for him. He took a sip, then
raised his eyebrows.
Percy read his expression and teased him, "The coffee made by my assistant is naturally
not as good as the coffee made by Dr. Craw, so don't be picky."
Luke was not picky. He put down the coffee and echoed his sentiments, "Yes, it's not as
good as Luca's coffee. Your assistant should learn how to make coffee from her."

Percy rolled his eyes and took the cup that Luke put down. "Even if I'm willing to let my
assistant learn from your beloved Dr. Craw, you must be willing to let Dr. Craw teach my
assistant."
The people in their tiny inner circle who knew that Luca was Bianca also knew that Luca
was extremely precious to Luke.
Make Luca teach Percy's assistant how to make coffee?
Luke would never want to make Luca exhausted.
The men in this inner circle would never allow their beloved to be exhausted.
Luke was the one who loved his wife in the most exceptional way.
"There's business to talk about." Luke knew that Percy was joking and did not dwell on the
topic of Luca.
Percy put away his cheekiness, nodded, and waited for him to get down to business.
"The government's plan to develop suburban land is about to be implemented. T
Corporation has already gotten busy with this matter. Your side should start too," Luke
said.
The Mallory family and Percy would benefit when T Corporation made money.
T Corporation's confidence in bidding came from its partnership with Mallory Corporation
for better resources and a competitive edge.
It was impossible for Percy to refuse such a good cooperation opportunity.
"Is it confirmed?" Percy knew that Luke's information was sensitive. Although he was just
confirming the authenticity of the information, he had already started to figure out a plan
in his mind.
"It's confirmed. This isn't fake news. I heard that the government of A City is more
interested in letting local companies in A City win the bid for this project." Luke did not
hide the news. In terms of local decision-making, this was not a secret.
If a city had its own home-grown powerful enterprises, the local government would give
priority to them.
After all, the development of enterprises would be beneficial to the local government's
performance.
If it were not for the large power gap, no one would hand over projects to other cities or
even foreign companies.
Unless the projects had nothing to do with the government, they would have no way to
participate in the management.
"I've heard about this news, but there are several construction companies in A City. I've
counted them, and none of them seem to be able to compete with T Corporation.
However, I don't take this lightly. I'll hold a meeting here first and give you the company's
final quotation. Then, you can make adjustments based on the quotation to finally
complete the bidding proposal," Percy said.
The two of them had always completed projects together. They would not tear themselves
apart for a mere difference in benefits.
Their companies could develop further as long as their interests were prioritized. In return,
that would shut all the other shareholders' up.
For Percy, this project was a good one.
He badly needed a huge project to silence those small shareholders who were still trying
to support Pierre to mess up the company.
If Percy was able to manage Mallory Corporation well, Pierre would not have the ability to
mess things up either. These facts could not be denied.
"Okay. There's one more thing," Luke said.
"Spill." Percy picked up the coffee and took a sip. Luke may have disliked the coffee made
by his assistant, but he quite liked it.
His assistant learned the craft from a professional barista. He admitted that the coffee did
not have the mellowness in Luca's brew, but the taste was still quite good.
Furthermore, Percy was not like Luke, whose tastebuds were spoiled by Luca.
Percy even felt that if Luke were on a deserted island with him, the latter might starve to
death from being a picky eater.
"Luca's matter with the Island of Despair matter is almost at the next phase. I'll need your
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhelp when the time comes," Luke said. They were accustomed to this, and they would help
each other in troubled times.
"Okay, no problem. My people are ready at any time," Percy agreed without hesitation.
Helping Luke eradicate the Island of Despair before was purely a favor.
Whenever Luke was in trouble or had a grudge to solve, Percy would help him to the end.
This time, Percy was also helping himself while helping Luke. The people from the Island of
Despair broke Pierre's leg. He would never let this matter go easily.
There was no rest for the evil since the Island of Despair dared to take advantage of the
Mallory family.
Although Percy's brotherhood with Pierre was completely destroyed, the Mallories could
only be dealt with by the Mallory family themselves. There was no need for the Island Of
Despair to interfere.
Percy instinctively knew that if the Island of Despair dared to target Pierre, they would
dare to target other members of the Mallory family as well, including himself, Nina, Old
Master Mallory, and so forth...
Percy's agreement was within Luke's expectations. He left after talking about everything.
After leaving Mallory Corporation, he still did not return to T Corporation but came to
Watson Biopharmaceuticals instead.
Everyone knew that he was Watson's boss. When Luke walked into the company, he went
all the way to the floor where Luca's office was located unobstructed.
Mo stood up when she saw Luke coming in. She greeted him in surprise. "Mr. Crawford,
good afternoon."
It was almost noon, and Luke suddenly appeared in Watson.
"Where's Dr. Craw?" Luke asked.
"Dr. Craw is still having a meeting in the conference room. Shall I inform her?" Mo knew
that Luke was here to see Luca.
She could not help but sigh. ‘Sure enough, the relationship between Luke and Luca isn't
ordinary.'
