The noises the two of them made pissed Oswald off when he was trying hard to figure out what to do. “Shut the f*ck up!"
The two men stopped talking and turned to look at Oswald.
Oswald massaged his aching temples and said, "We can't hide this, but we can't tell the police either.
We should inform the Mallory family."
"Are we really going to tell the Mallory family about this?" One of the men shivered for a moment.
It was them who failed to protect Pierre. If the Mallory family blamed them for this, they might give them a hard time.
"We have to. Pierre is on the wanted list now, and he was taken away. We can't hide this from anyone. The Mallory family won't
call the police even if they find out about it. At most, they'll just scold us," analyzed Oswald.
The two men nodded their heads as they listened.
They were not really afraid because the house belonged to Oswald.
Pierre was taken away by someone else in this house, and they had nothing to do with it.
"Oswald, do you have Mr. Pierre's mother's phone number?" asked one of the men.
Oswald was stunned for a moment as he glared at the man who spoke. "How am I supposed to know that?! Look around and
see if they took Mr. Pierre's phone away!"
The man replied, "Oswald, there's nothing we can do even if Mr. Pierre's phone is here... We'll need the passcode to unlock his
phone, and none of us knows the passcode."
"Yes. How are we going to inform the Mallory family?" Another man patted his head. It would be faster to call the police.
However, they were not allowed to call the police.
"How troublesome. Flynn, get the car. We have to head to Mallory Manor." Oswald pointed at one of the men. Madam Mallory
was the only one who cared about Pierre under such circumstances. They could only look for her.
"Alright, Oswald." Flynn, the man whom Oswald instructed, dared not to be careless. The sooner they informed the Mallory
family about this, the quicker they could get themselves out of trouble.
Before the sun came up, Oswald and another man arrived at Mallory Manor.
Mr. Bennet frowned when he saw the two men dressed like street thugs. When he was about to say something, Oswald broke
the silence. "Hi, I came to see Madam Mallory."
“Madam Mallory isn't up yet. Please come back later," Mr. Bennet replied politely.
“No way. You're the butler, right? Please tell her that we're here. My name's Oswald. Mr. Pierre has been staying at my house,
but someone broke into my house last night. After he drugged me and my friends, he took Mr. Pierre away," explained Oswald.
“Huh?" Mr. Bennet was shocked for a moment. Then, he sized Oswald up.
Oswald was dressed like a street thug. It was likely that Pierre had indeed been staying at his house.
However, Madam Mallory had secretly informed people from all walks of life to find out where Pierre was. If someone could
provide useful information, she would give a higher reward than what the bounty the police offered.
Hence, many had been coming here and claiming that they knew where Pierre was. Everyone said they had seen Pierre, and
some even said they took him in. Later, it was verified that they were only a bunch of liars.
"What evidence do you have to prove that what you said is true?" Mr. Bennet blocked the door and asked.
Oswald shot a glance at Flynn, who came with him, and asked, “Do you have photos of Mr. Pierre?"
“I never dared to take photos. What if Mr. Pierre thought I was taking a photo of him to tip off the authorities?" Flynn shook his
head. They dared not to take any photos of Pierre.
Oswald stroked his chin and asked Mr. Bennet, “What we said is really true. Do we really have to prove ourselves?"
“Many have come and said the same thing. You may leave if you can't prove it." Mr. Bennet sent them off as he thought they
were only here for Madam Mallory's reward.
Oswald panicked. He could not find any evidence to prove that Pierre had truly been staying at his house. “You're just a butler.
Why are you doing this? What benefit do I get from lying to you?"
“Oswald, should we bring Mr. Pierre's clothes here?" Flynn came up with an idea.
"Are you crazy? Those are cheap clothes. Even Mr. Pierre's biological mother won't be able to determine if they're his." Oswald
pushed the man's temple with his forefinger.
Pierre had fled in a hurry. He did not even bring his clothes and daily necessities along with him.
Hence, Oswald could only help him to get the necessities for him.
Everything Pierre used and every shirt he wore was bought from convenience stores and the stalls selling counterfeit items near
his house. Pierre had even complained to him about it.
Even if he brought those clothes here, the Mallory family would never believe that Pierre had ever worn them.
As Mr. Bennet listened to their conversation, he started to believe that Pierre was really staying at their house.
However, there was no evidence. Even if Mr. Bennet believed what they said, Madam Mallory would not.
"Oh yes, Oswald, didn't Mr. Pierre tell us to run some errands for him?" Flynn suddenly patted his thigh.
It rang a bell, and Oswald remembered what Pierre had asked them to do.
He frowned and hesitated to tell the butler about it.
Would the Mallory family call the police and send them to prison if they found out that they had broken into Pierre's office?
Oswald dared not to take the risk.
"Oswald?" Flynn called his name when Oswald did not respond. He made a few signs and gestures while adding, "That one."
"I know what you're talking about!" Oswald replied impatiently when he looked at how ridiculous Flynn looked. "But can we tell
them about that? What should we do if we're sent to prison?"
Flynn stopped moving. He never thought about that.
Even though it was Pierre who asked them to do so, Pierre was now kidnapped, and no one could prove that it was he who
instructed them to do so.
Mr. Bennet asked, "Just tell me if you have any evidence to prove what you said is true. We won't look into it as long as you
didn't hurt Mr. Pierre."
Oswald looked at him suspiciously and asked, "Really?"
"Yes. If you can't provide any evidence, then you're just a liar," added Mr. Bennet.
"I'm not a liar. Alright then. We didn't want to do this, but Mr. Pierre instructed us to break into his office and steal everything."
Oswald came clean about what he did when he heard Mr. Bennet say that.
The expression on Mr. Bennet's face changed as he said, "Please give me the details."
The staff working at Pierre's office found out that thieves had broken into the office and stolen everything. They immediately
called the police after that.
The police could not reach Pierre, so they had no choice but to contact the Mallory family.
Madam Mallory personally dealt with the matter after the police informed her about the theft. No one knew about this in the
Mallory family. Mr. Bennet only found out about this when he was together with Old Master Mallory.
Madam Mallory told him to keep this a secret. She also reminded the staff working at Pierre's office not to tell anyone about this.
Hence, the police had yet to announce to the public the theft case that happened at Pierre's office.
The reporters were focusing on the progress of the police's search for Pierre. Even though there were police officers who
entered Pierre's office to investigate the theft case, they thought the police officers were just looking into the matter that was
posted on the internet.
