Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle

Chapter 3244 A Breakthrough

Nina pinched Tommy's chubby cheeks. "So, you're only worried about whether I'll come just because you want to make Luca happy?"

Tommy laughed and shook his head. "Of course not. We like you too, Ms. Nina!"

"Yes, we like Ms. Nina," Rainie chimed in.

*Aww, I trust Rainie more. Tommy, I don't believe you anymore" Nina teased him.

*Ms. Nina, I'm being sincere! We all really like you!" Tommy quickly responded with a big smile.

Nina laughed and played along with the kids.

Meanwhile, upstairs, Luke and Percy were discussing business.

However, they were not talking about Pierre and Karen. They were discussing the upcoming bid.

The government had already announced that the bidding would take place next week.

After going over the remaining details and confirming there were no issues with the bid proposal, Percy asked, " How do you plan to deal with them?"

*They're your mother and brother," Luke reminded him helplessly. The simplest solution would be to send Pierre and Karen to the police.

However, with Percy and Nina's wedding coming up, that was not an option.

Hence, they were still figuring out how to handle them.

"Do we still have all the evidence?" asked Percy.

Luke nodded.  Content belong to NôvelDráma. Org.

"Is Ms. Vivian badly hurt?" Percy asked again. He had a connection with Ray, and he felt bad about Vivian getting hurt in the incident.

*Not too badly. She didn't need stitches. She just had the wound bandaged at the hospital," replied Luke.

Percy nodded. "Give the evidence to Old Master Mallory. He'll know what to do."

*Once he gets the evidence, your mother won't have any chance of coming back to the Mallory family," Luke reminded him.

Old Master Mallory would not allow Karen to sneak around and cause trouble again.

The last time, Pierre found someone to solve Karen's problem, which slightly changed the old master's opinion of

her. If they handed over the evidence now, Karen's days as Madam Mallory would be over.

Percy's father had always kept a mistress and child outside, but Karen had retained her position as Madam Mallory in the family all because of the old master's support.

If Old Master Mallory lost faith in her, he might support someone else as Madam Mallory.

Luke was not worried about Karen's fate. He was more concerned about someone else affecting Percy's position.

"I don't need her to secure my place in the Mallory Corporation anymore. Our two companies are deeply intertwined. As long as you make your stance clear, the old master won't let anyone else take over Mallory Corporation," said Percy.

Old Master Mallory valued interests over family ties.

As long as Percy could bring benefits to the corporation, the old master would not do anything to him.

*Alright, since you've said so, I'll have someone send the documents over tomorrow. I was going to wait until after your wedding to handle this,' replied Luke.

"Strike while the iron's hot. If you get the documents to the old master now, I won't have to worry about them bothering Nina or ruining my wedding," said Percy.

"Got it." Luke nodded.

The two of them reached an agreement in the study. Meanwhile, Luca was making some progress in her own work.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

She quickly put the medicinal herbs into the machine to extract a high-purity solution.

Ever since she revealed her identity to Luke, she bought several machines to conduct experiments in the study room. Even though these machines were not as advanced as the ones in a professional lab, they were sufficient for now.

Besides, she could not easily take these herbs to Watson for research.

Luca was deeply engrossed in her experiments. Only when Luke knocked on the door was she brought back to reality.

She glanced at the time and realized it was already 11:00 pm.

Luca clicked her tongue. How did it get so late?

After storing the solution at a low temperature, she left the study.

Luke noticed her tousled hair and gently brushed it aside. "Why are you working so late tonight?"

"I just had a breakthrough and lost track of time." Luca hugged him. "I might have figured out why Shanks is collecting these herbs."

"Why?" Luke, enjoying her embrace, hugged her tighter.

"I'm not sure yet. I'll tell you once I'm certain," replied Luca. It was just a guess for now. She wanted to confirm it before saying anything.

"Alright." Luke patted her head. "It's late. Let's get some rest."

"Okay." Luca nodded. Just as they were heading to the bedroom, Tommy poked his head out.

*Dad, Ms. Luca?" He rubbed his eyes. "Why are you still up?"

Luca let go of Luke. "We were just about to go to bed. Why are you awake?"

"I'm thirsty," Tommy whined.

Luca smiled and ruffled his hair. "I'll get you some water."

*I'll do it. You go take a shower," Luke suddenly suggested.

Luca nodded, thinking that it was a good idea.

Even though it was the weekend, getting up too late was not ideal, so she headed to the master bedroom.

Luke stared directly at his son.

Tommy was confused, and he asked, "Dad, aren't you getting me water?"

"Are you really thirsty?" Luke saw right through his son's act.

Tommy awkwardly scratched the back of his head. He thought he had put up a good show. He could fool Mom

but not his sharp-eyed Dad. "Dad, how did you know I wasn't asleep?"

"Son." Luke squatted down to look him in the eye. "Do you know that when you lie, you have a little tell?"

"Huh?" Tommy was puzzled.

*Playing cute, huh?" Luke tapped Tommy's forehead. "You're too old for that. If you're still doing it, it means you're feeling guilty."

Tommy pouted his mouth. "Having a super-smart dad isn't always a good thing."

"Isn't it?" Luke rose to his feet, looking down at his son. "So, why are you still up this late?"

*I was reading and lost track of time. Ms. Luca didn't remind me today. I was about to go to bed but heard some noise outside, so I came to check. I didn't expect you and Ms. Luca to be up this late."

*Remember to rest and protect your eyes while reading," advised Luke.

Tommy nodded. "Okay, Dad. Please don't tell Ms. Luca. I don't want her worrying about reminding us to go to bed every night."

"You're still looking out for her, huh?" Luke was pleased with his son's thoughtfulness even though he had been lying. It showed how much he cared for his mother.

"Dad, you're busy, so it's up to us to look out for Ms. Luca!" Tommy patted his chest proudly. "Don't worry, Dad, I'll

protect her."

Luke looked at his son, who spoke with such confidence, and asked, "Alright. Do you still want that glass of

water?"

"Nope." Tommy was not really thirsty. He just made up an excuse.

*Then get back to bed," replied Luke as he opened the door and gestured for him to go.

Tommy, worried his dad might spank him, quickly ran back to bed.
