“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.
