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

“Mr. Holston, you're quite observant," Jason mocked him before the other two said anything.
“I was just looking out for Mr. Mallory by spying on them," Jim said joyfully.
"You could recognize a thousand-dollar watch? Has your taste in fashion downgraded after getting married?" Percy seized the
opportunity and dealt him a mighty blow to get revenge on him for making fun of Nina for not being able to cook.
Even if Nina did not know how to cook, she was still the best. They could just leave the cooking to the maid. As long as she
stayed by his side, that would be way better than mastering any skill.
"The year is ending soon, so I did my research because of employee benefits." Jim noticed his uninterested expression and
asked, "Are you really not going over there to take a look?"
"After what happened between him and Pierre, there's no way he would go over there." Luke picked up his wine glass and slowly
swirled it unlike the other two who downed theirs.
Percy took a sip of wine and rolled his eyes at Luke.
Why was he such a blabbermouth?
"Did you two really cut ties?" Jim did not know much about it as all his attention was focused on Scarlett.
"Sort of, which is why I called you here today to ask you a favor," Percy said bluntly.
"What favor?" Jim turned serious as Percy was not one to ask someone else for help easily. If those words came out of his
mouth, it must be a very serious situation.
"I need your investment account to purchase the rest of Mallory Corporation's odd lots circulating in the stock market. Pierre is
also doing the same right now, and if he ends up with more shares than me, there'll be a change of hands in Mallory
Corporation."
"That's it? I'd still help you even if you told me this over the phone. No problem. You have my word." Jim agreed immediately
without asking about the reasoning behind it.
When the time came, it did not matter whether Percy wanted to take back the shares or let him keep them.

As long as Percy was in charge of Mallory Corporation, a huge crisis would not occur. hence, it would not be a big deal even if
Percy decided not to take the shares back as there would be continuous dividends anyway.
"Thank you." Percy expressed his gratitude.
“Mr. Mallory, I want to be a minor shareholder of Mallory Corporation too," said Jason all of a sudden as he had always made
investments.
He obtained a lot of information from following Luke around, so he would know about the market dynamics way earlier than
others, which was why he had excellent timing in buying stocks.
Over the years, he had earned a hefty sum from his investments.
"Sure, you can buy some shares with your boss and Jim." Percy did not care who bought those shares as long as they were in
the hands of people he knew and trusted.
"But do you have a chance of winning? If the Mallory family decides to support Pierre, it won't work even if we've purchased the
majority of the shares. Old Master Mallory and your parent's shares combined will definitely surpass yours."
"As of right now, they're just temporarily providing Pierre financial support. It's not yet clear whether they'll support him with the
shares in their hands. It's only a test, and if he passes, I'll need to give up Mallory Corporation; but if Pierre fails the test, Mallory
Corporation will still be in my hands." Percy understood the consequences.
Although Old Master Mallory was against his relationship with Nina, he did not act rashly by using his power to support Pierre.
Besides, Mallory Corporation was a big deal. If it fell into the hands of someone incompetent, the consequences would be
disastrous.
Percy wanted Old Master Mallory to realize that even if he played dirty and the entire Mallory family was on Percy's side, he
would never be able to get more shares.
"It seems like Old Master Mallory hasn't completely lost his senses. He's still very shrewd," Jim praised him. If Old Master Mallory
was not shrewd, he would have just handed the company over to Pierre. He would not need to go through all of this.
"He's the founder of Mallory Corporation, so of course, he won't take such big risks," said Percy.

Old Master Mallory had gone through blood, sweat, and tears to establish Mallory Corporation, so he would not let it fall that
easily.
Even though he had been abdicated, he still followed Mallory Corporation's status closely. If Percy had done a bad job in
operating the company in the early years, the company would have been in Pierre's hands right now.
Likewise, if Pierre did a bad job, Old Master Mallory would run it himself.
Therefore, in Old Master Mallory's eyes, Mallory Corporation was as precious as life itself.
"I look forward to cooperating with you all." Jim raised his glass.
The remaining three raised their glasses to clink them too.
Luke added, "Jim, I have something to tell you too."
"Is it about Peace Valley Villa?" Jim guessed it at once.
"Yup." Luke nodded. He had told Jim to inform him immediately if Matysh were to check out of his room there.
"What about it?" Jim asked.
"I want to know who he met at the villa," said Luke as this was not a difficult task for Jim.
"That's not too hard. It just involves breaching the privacy of the guests, so you owe me one after this," Jim said jokingly, when in
fact, they would help each other whenever anyone was in trouble.
Their relationship was much better than superficial friends.
"Sure," said Luke. It did not matter how deeply indebted he was to others, as long as Luca was safe.
"Cheers to that, and you have to finish this glass." Jim filled Luke's glass to the brim.
"No problem." After clinking glasses, Luke downed his entire glass.
Percy lit a cigarette and held it in his hand without smoking it. "Now that we're done talking about this, let's talk business."
Luke and Jim looked at him at the same time.

"Mr. Mallory must be talking about the development in the suburbs." Jason understood right away. After being by Luke's side for
so long, he could roughly guess what these big bosses were going to say next.
"Only you get me. Are you really not going to consider coming over to Mallory Corporation?" Percy grinned.
"Mr. Mallory, I think it's better for me to stay out of your company's conflict." Jason rejected him outright.
"I guarantee that you won't lose your job. I'll have more confidence to win if you're here," said Percy.
"Don't you mess with my people," warned Luke as he swirled his wineglass. He was deep in thought.
He was not thinking about the development of the suburbs but Luca.
"Luca is your person, and Jason is Ms. Carter's person," Percy said deliberately.
Luke rolled his eyes at him.
Jim brought the conversation back to the main topic. "Has the development of the suburbs been decided for real this time?"
"It's been decided that an announcement will be made after the new year, and it'll be done through bidding," said Luke. If the
word came from Jack himself, then it could be confirmed that the development would indeed be carried out.
