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

As Percy listened to Mr. Bennet, he could not help but secretly call Pierre a fool.
It was his only chance to speak to them. Yet, he could not provide any useful information to the Mallory family. He only asked for
them to rescue him...
How foolish. How incredibly foolish.
Mr. Bennet noticed the gloomy look on Percy's face and asked in a low voice, “Master Percy, what should we do now?"
"What else can we do? We must save him!" Old Master Mallory firmly took his stance before Percy could say anything.
Although he was disappointed in Pierre for not living up to his potential, he was still his grandson. There was no way he could be
so heartless.
"We must save him," said Percy. 30 million dollars was merely pocket change to the Mallory family.
However, the Mallory family's liquid funds were probably not that much.
Percy turned to look at Old Master Mallory and said, "I only have around ten million in liquid assets, including the company's
funds, on hand for now."
It would take some time for him to get 30 million dollars. One day's time would not be enough. The kidnappers also requested
ten million in cash.
How was it possible for anyone to have that much cash in this modern society where electronic payments were prevalent?
They could head to the bank to withdraw the cash, but a regular bank would not have that much cash readily available. It would
also require an advance appointment with them to get that much cash.
Even if they got lucky and the bank was able to prepare the money in time, there was no doubt that their behavior would alarm
some of the organizations.
The police were still looking for Pierre.
Their actions would be considered abnormal. The police might suspect that they were helping Pierre escape after they found out
about it.

Things would become more complicated if they alerted the police.
The Mallory family had yet to contact the police because they did not want Pierre to be caught by the police after rescuing him.
"I'll handle the rest," said Old Master Mallory. His bank account had enough money.
"But taking out ten million in cash from the bank will definitely alarm the police," Percy reminded Old Master Mallory. The reason
why he did not report Pierre's kidnapping to the police was that he did not want Pierre to fall into the hands of the police and lose
any chance of turning things around.
Old Master Mallory fell silent.
Withdrawing ten million in cash from the bank at once would inevitably alarm the police.
"I have about one million in cash on hand," said Old Master Mallory. Even though the Mallory family's security system was good,
they had many maids.
Keeping so much money at home increased the likelihood of attracting criminal activity.
Hence, Old Master Mallory only had one million in cash in the safe for emergencies.
"It's far from enough." Percy realized that the problem was not the 30 million but the ten million in cash that the kidnappers
demanded.
Old Master Mallory frowned. He was torn between whether to alert the police or wait for the kidnappers to call again and ask if
they could pay the full 30 million through a wire transfer.
They were just paying them, after all. The kidnappers should not make things too difficult for Percy.
However, what if...
Old Master Mallory wondered what if the other party disagreed with this deal and even used it to torment Pierre?
He recalled how weak Pierre sounded when the kidnappers turned off the voice modulator on the phone. Pierre sounded like he
would die the next second if they continued to torture him.
He did not know what to do.

"I'll ask someone tomorrow," Percy pondered and decided not to inform the police.
He did not have ten million on hand. It was unlikely the others would have it too.
People used checks or wire transfers for such a large amount of money most of the time these days.
However, one could have several millions of dollars in liquidity, and he could find someone to help.
Percy held Nina's hand as he rose to his feet.
"Where are you going?" Old Master Mallory asked with a stern tone.
"I'm going back to figure things out," replied Percy. It was certain that Percy would ask Luke and Jim for help.
With their cash, his cash, and Old Master Mallory's cash, they would be able to collect enough money.
"The kidnappers may call any time. She may go, but you'll have to stay," said Old Master Mallory. He had no intention of
concealing how disgusted he was by Nina.
This was despite the fact that Percy was helping Pierre.
"Record the conversation. Let him talk to me if things don't work out. I have to go back. I can't calm myself down and ask for help
if I stay here," said Percy as he gave a meaningful glance at the second floor.
The Mallories' residence had excellent sound insulation.
Still, even those on the first floor could hear Karen's howling.
How loud would it be if he went back to his bedroom on the second floor?
Fortunately, the residence was a distance away from other villas, so Karen's voice would not be heard by others. Otherwise, the
Mallory family would be reported for causing a disturbance.
Karen's voice continued to drift down from upstairs incessantly.
Old Master Mallory sat on the couch with a gloomy expression on his face. Karen was such a hindrance. He did not even have a
reason to make Percy stay here.

Percy held Nina's hand and left after that.
Mr. Bennet could only patiently advise him, "Old Master Mallory, the matter concerning Master Pierre is more important at the
moment. Please bear with it. Master Percy left to look for help to save Master Pierre."
Old Master Mallory snorted coldly and said nothing.
On the other hand...
Marcos and Kastov sat in the car Luke had arranged for them and returned to the hotel.
As they took the elevator and returned to the floor where their room was, the two men turned the corner only to see Ethan
standing in front of their room with an impatient look on his face.
He leaned against the wall near Marcos' suite for a moment before moving to the other side near Kastov's suite.
When he heard footsteps, he looked up and saw Marcos and Kastov approaching. Ethan immediately dashed forward and
questioned Marcos, "Where did you go?"
"Dinner," replied Marcos, smiling insincerely.
Ethan had a look of disbelief on his face as he asked, "Mr. Matysh is still in prison. You're his nephew. Given everything that's
happened, how are you still hungry enough to eat?"
Marcos could not help but frown when Ethan tried to make it sound like it was morally unacceptable.
Matysh brought this on himself.
He had no one to blame but himself even if he were to spend the rest of his life in prison.
Besides, if Matysh had to be in prison for the rest of his life, did that mean Marcos had to pretend to be a good nephew for the
rest of his life?
What Ethan said was ridiculous.
Marcos explained, "I had a meeting with Mr. Crawford, and he was gracious enough to invite me for dinner after the meeting. Is
there a problem?"

"Of course, there is. Mr. Matysh is still in prison!" Ethan reminded him. Should Marcos not be worried and try to do everything he
could for Matysh and get him out?
"M Group and T Corporation are business partners. As the company's CEO, I can't decline an invitation from a business partner,"
replied Marcos as he swiped his room key card and opened the door.
Kastov followed suit and swiped his card. Then, he opened the door and walked into his room.
