Chapter 213: Chapter 209 Richelle, what are you really afraid of?
Translator: 549690339
“Sure! But, the thing you want, sir, might take two more days.”
Roy Lewis didn’t contact them today for information.
“Ok, how are things going with the Dunn Group?”
in fact, before today, Roy Lewis had assumed the person called Margareth might be a lady.
But now, it seems, they could be a man.
At the time, when they proposed to work together against the Dunns, the reason given was “a grudge for murder and theft”, but Hugo Camrey’s background seemed clear and he lived a happy life, without any sense of grievance.
Could it be, that they simply made up a reason back then?
“Average…”
This Margareth, obviously, does not want to engage in deep conversation with
him.
“Should we continue cooperating on the Dunn case?
Roy Lewis threw out a bait, but based on his understanding of Margareth, they probably wouldn’t take it.
Because, judging from their recent responses, the action against the Dunns which they mentioned, seems to have been already planned, and a number of steps might already have been taken.
As expected, Margareth took a while to respond.
“Forget it…”
Did that mean, they were starting to be alert towards him?
Roy Lewis, seeing that he couldn’t probe out anything, did not ask further. He logged off directly and gave Nathan Caroule a call.
“How’s the investigation on Hugo’s side?”
Nathan Caroule answered truthfully, “Nothing unusual for the time being.”
“Tomorrow, track the stocks of the Dunn Group and see if any big investor is making major moves. Besides, are you sure, besides United Ventures and Mason Lilliput, there are no other forces intervening on the Dunn’s side?” Nathan Caroule would have to confirm the stock market situation for him
tomorrow.
However, he had been closely monitoring the recent moves of the Dunns. “Haven’t found any other forces for now, and recently Mason Lilliput has been acting cautiously – all wind and no rain. It seems that old fox Mason still doubts the strength of the Dunns.”
Roy Lewis hummed an acknowledgment, “And United Ventures? Any new updates regarding their relations with the Dunns in the past two days?” Nathan Caroule was also somewhat confused, “United Ventures seems to have never been in a hurry, always leaving the Dunns hanging. Jayden Dunn and his son may also have realized that they are being played, so both sides are currently at a deadlock.”
Roy Lewis nodded, “What’s the story with the new psychologist for Kiara
Dunn?”
“That was indeed Mr. Caroule’s recommendation. He is said to be a big-shot. For now, I didn’t manage to get details of his diagnosis but regarding the information on Mr. Timmy provided by Hugo, it should be true. At the Dunns, the little master seems to have never been well-liked or welcomed, he is even a taboo subject.”
If someone had told Roy Lewis this half a year ago, he would not have believed
it.
But now, even if someone tells him that the Dunns hate Timmy, he would
believe it.
What still was unclear to him was why Kiara Dunn harbored such hatred for her own son?
On Roy Lewis’s side, he was discussing the Dunns and Kiara’s issues with
Nathan Caroule.
At Richelle Dunn’s place, Richelle was just as troubled about the unusual behavior of the benefactor tonight.
She stared at the conversation on the screen, sinking into deep contemplation.
“Are you there?”
“Yes! But, the thing you want, sir, might take two more days.
“Ok, how are things going with the Dunn Group?
“Average…”
“Should we continue cooperating on the Dunn Group?”
“Forget it…”
Based on Richelie’s understanding of the benefactor, he was always cold and arrogant. Even when she had previously taken the initiative to propose a partnership against the Dunns, he never asked anything more than necessary. Apart from once when the old friends were mentioned, and he inquired a bit, beyond that, there were no other probes.
But today, he repeatedly mentioned the Dunns, and even showed significant concern for her progress. Was it possible that he was dissatisfied with the speed of her actions?
When Richelle initially proposed the partnership, she had already prepared herself for being used as a pawn.
As long as their goals aligned, it was always more forceful for someone to lend strength to her moves, rather than her striking on her own.
But after a while, the benefactor seemed rather indifferent towards the Dunn’s matters, which caused Richelle to shift her mindset. Perhaps, the real target of the benefactor was the Thompsons from the start, instead of the Dunns?
Could his words just now mean that both the Dunns and the Thompsons were his targets?
Or could it even be said that he was currently more concerned with the matter of the Dunns?
Despite racking her brains in front of the computer screen, Richelle could not think of anyone else who would want to see the downfall of the Dunns as much as her.
She was now somewhat regretful that she had just brushed off the benefactor’s question.
But soon, she felt relieved.
Something abnormal must imply a problem. And today, the benefactor was not the same as usual.
Given the benefactor’s trickiness, if she panicked, she might accidentally reveal her identity.
So, it’s not necessarily true that the benefactor is really concerned about the Dunns. He could have asked because he started suspecting her identity and it was a test.
Thinking of this, Richelle Dunn breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that she was in a clear state of mind just now and didn’t take the bait.
Roy Lewis was known for his efficiency in handling affairs.
Early next morning, before Richelle had left, she received a call from Roy Lewis.
“Mr. Lewis, this early?”
-The shooting lessons for Timothy and Tiffany, I’ve arranged it, you can bring both of them over in the morning, the lessons start in the afternoon, is that
ok?”
Richelle hadn’t expected him to arrange it so quickly, “I will go after giving Mrs. Camrey her acupuncture treatment, then I will go home to pick them up and come over, can you share the address of the shooting range?
Roy Lewis simply replied to her, “It’s at my place.
“Your place?”
Richelle had been giving Roy Lewis acupuncture treatments for nearly two months, but she had never heard about a shooting range at his place.
“Yes, on the fifth floor.”
Richelle couldn’t help but scold in her mind, “Damn rich people.”
She had been visiting the Lewis’ every day for the past two months, but her usual haunts were either Roy Lewis and Timmy’s bedrooms, or the living room and Timmy’s playroom. Besides these places, she seldom ventured anywhere else.
“Better leave Timothy and Tiffany at home, I’ll come back for lunch, we can come over after their nap.”
When it came to the identity and safety of the kids, Richelle was always on guard.
It didn’t seem like Roy Lewis completely understood her approach, “Richelle, why do you insist? Bring them over in the morning, they can play more this way. As far as I know, Timothy and Tiffany have not been to my house before. When you go to give Mrs. Camrey her acupuncture treatment, Timmy can show them around to get familiar with the environment. Isn’t that a good idea?”
It wasn’t that Richelle didn’t trust Roy Lewis but Timmy, Timothy, and Tiffany, despite their intelligence, were still just kids.
And since she wouldn’t be there, in an unfamiliar environment, the possibilities were unpredictable, anything could happen!
However, Richelle couldn’t come up with a better excuse, she could only say, “They are too noisy, let’s not disturb you.”
There was silence on the phone as Roy Lewis took some time before responding, sounding both inquisitive and slightly displeased.
“Richelle, what exactly are you scared of?”
