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

It was the following day.

Luke and Luca made their way down the stairs of Crawford Manor together. Old Master

Crawford was already watching the morning news.

He waved at them when he spotted them coming down and asked, "Is this the Russian guy

we've been talking about?"

Luke and Luca turned to look at the TV screen at the same time.

A photo of Matysh was shown in the news report.

"Is the court getting ready for the trial?" asked Luca.

"Yes. There's too much attention on his case, so they're fast-tracking all the procedures,"

answered Luke. Too many people were keeping tabs on Matysh's case.

Matysh had a special status and background. With his case stirring up a lot of public

outrage and involving a bunch of people, all the legal procedures were fast-tracked.

"What about Leia..." Luca knew that the incident causing public outrage with Matysh

happened a few years ago. However, once Matysh's trial began, Leia's case would also be

up for trial.

"She's on trial along with this case," replied Luke. For individuals with multiple cases and

who underwent consecutive trials, especially foreigners, the intervals between them would

not take too long.

As Old Master Crawford listened to their conversation, he chimed in, "I heard this foreign

guy is quite arrogant back in his own country. He even had dealings with T Corporation?"

"Yes, but it won't affect our project collaboration. Their family's business is being handled

by someone else at the moment," explained Luke.

Speaking of Marcos, Luca asked, "Is Mr. Marcos still in A City?"

Luca did not hear Luke mention that Marcos was leaving. She assumed he was still in A

City.

However, could he really afford to put his company matters aside for such a long time?

"Yes, he's still in A City. As long as Matysh's case remains unsolved, he won't return to

Russia anytime soon," Luke stated.

This was at the request of Marcos' grandfather, who was more concerned about Matysh's

safe return to Russia.

However, Luke was confident that Matysh would not be able to smoothly return this time.

He could go back to Russia after serving his sentence here.

"The man you're talking about is the CEO of M Group, right?" Old Master Crawford

curiously asked.

"Yes, that's right." Luke held Luca's hand and sat on the sofa. Then, he continued, "They

belong to the same big family. Marcos manages the business now, and Matysh is Marcos'

uncle.

"Their relationship isn't good, and the family values Matysh. If it weren't for Matysh

partying too much and disliking running the family business, Marcos wouldn't have taken

over."

"Oh, I see. But according to what you're saying, M Group isn't really Marcos'. It belongs to

their family's old man, right? Over the past few decades, I've seen many of these family

businesses rise and fall.

"Honestly, there are far fewer family-run companies now, as they're unable to withstand

the elimination of the economic tide. M Group can actually still dominate the Russian

market. It seems that Marcos is quite capable."

"Yes, he's a good business partner." Luke nodded. He had that impression the first time he

interacted with Marcos.

"These family businesses are more complicated than others. You have to be careful in your

collaboration. Marcos seems fine, but you should watch out for excessive cooperation.

After all, if they change their CEO one day, the company's decisions may change.

"Don't underestimate these people." Old Master Crawford, seasoned by many battles,

shared his experience with Luke.

Luke listened attentively. "Don't worry, I got it."

That was exactly his plan. He was planning to take it easy for a while after finishing the

project with M Group.

While Matysh was behind bars and Marcos seemed to have a higher position, Luke could

never know what the head of the family might be thinking. It was better for him to be

cautious.

However, if Marcos asked for help, he would be willing to lend a hand.

Having an extra friend was always better than having a stranger.

Luca saved Sarah Poplar, making her a benefactor to Marcos. If he helped Marcos with

something else, their two families might have more opportunities for future cooperation.

Of course, the prerequisite was Marcos fully taking control of M Group, which was no easy

task.

By now, the news about Matysh had passed, and Old Master Crawford muttered again, "I

don't trust that guy. He might cause some trouble again."

Luca heard this and exchanged glances with Luke.

Old Master Crawford's judgment on people was truly spot-on.

Luke told Luca about Matysh's escape plan.

Old Master Crawford, despite not knowing the plan, could sense something was up. It was

pretty impressive.

"Grandpa, even though you're retired, perhaps you can still do something," Luke teased

the old man.

Old Master Crawford could not understand what he meant and asked, "What is it?"

"Maybe you can do some fortune-telling," suggested Luke.

Old Master Crawford was dumbfounded for a moment, "Fortune-telling? What?"

Then, it dawned on the old master. "You mean he's really planning to cause trouble again?

If he thinks he can still do something..."

Something crossed Old Master Crawford's mind, and he sneered. "It's been many years

since anything like this happened here. How dare he? Does he really think our country is

easy to mess with? Just like Russia?

"If he dares to do this, he's destined to fail, and he might end up behind bars for a few

more years."

It was a sensitive topic. The old master did not elaborate more, but everyone knew what

he meant.

After that, Old Master Crawford continued, "I don't know if you have someone keeping an

eye on Pierre's side, but the men I sent reported that he's been released. He's

recuperating in the VIP ward at Central Hospital."

"I haven't assigned anyone to watch him. Old Master Mallory is getting involved in things,

so it's only a matter of time before he comes out," replied Luke.

Even though Pierre harmed many people's interests, it was all related to economic

interests. As for his past actions, Percy chose not to expose them considering the bond

between them.

Therefore, even if he was detained in the hospital, it would not be for long.

"That guy will probably stir up trouble again when he comes out. Be careful. The

government's project is about to open for bidding. You don't want him sabotaging your

affairs with his methods," warned Old Master Crawford.

"Back when I watched that kid grow up, I always felt his character was off. But you know,

he's someone else's kid, and I'm just an old man. But now, it seems my initial judgment

was right. He really went astray," commented Old Master Crawford.

"Don't worry. His leg took a major hit, so he's probably not in the mood for causing trouble

right now," replied Luke nonchalantly. He deliberately delayed the rescue mission to make

him go through some tough times.

Who would have thought there would be such a pleasant surprise?
