Richelie’s acting skills were top-notch. She slightly furrowed her brows and stared at him with the eyes of someone looking at a stranger.
“Sir? Who are you looking for?”
After all, Harris Dunn was a man with more courage, and he didn’t believe in the kind of ghost stories.
So, he had always thought that his sister’s claim to have seen Richelle’s ghost was absurd.
He stared at her intently, “What’s your name?”
Richelie responded with an obviously different accent and a slightly hoarse
voice, “Sir, my last name is Zeng…”
Harris was skeptical, “Zeng? Where are you from?”
“Sir, I am from Kandar.”
Indeed, her accent was an authentic Kandar accent.
Hugo Camrey, who had been silent on the side, suddenly looked at Richelle and asked.
“Ms. Zeng? A while ago, did you help your boss deliver something to a villa in the suburbs?”
Richelle glanced at Hugo a few times, not quite sure, and asked, “You are? Mr.
Camrey, the owner of that villa?”
Hugo gazed at Richelle for several seconds and then turned his head to look at Kiara, whose face was full of horror as she pointed at Richelle and shouted incoherently, her mouth covered.
After a moment of contemplation, he turned to ask Harris.
“Mr. Dunn, what did you just call this Ms. Zeng?
Harris seemed to have a guess.
“Richelle, the cousin that has already passed away in our family.
Hugo pointed to the waitress “Ms. Zeng”, “Your cousin, does she look a bit like this Ms. Zeng?”
Harris took a more serious look at “Ms. Zeng” a few times, “It seems, not that much, perhaps, two or three points similarity?”
Richelie’s accent and hoarse voice successfully made Harris believe that she was indeed Ms. Zeng.
And people are often like this: once you are convinced that she is, she will look more and more alike.
Once you are initially convinced that she is not, she will look less and less alike.
Hugo slammed his hand on the table, “Mr. Dunn, this adds up!”
Hugo pointed at “Ms. Zeng”, “That day, the drinks and food for my party were all packed and delivered by this cafe. Ms. Zeng was the one who delivered them at that time. Kiara must have seen her then…”
As he spoke, Harris nodded solemnly, glanced at “Ms. Zeng”, leaned down and approached Kiara, speaking to her in a steady and powerful voice.
“Kiara, she is not Richelle. She is Ms. Zeng, a waitress. The one you saw at Mr. Camrey’s house before was also her!”
Master Troy, who was sitting on the other side of Kiara, also spoke to her in a calm and soothing tone.
■’Yes, your brother is right, she is not Richelle. She is Ms. Zeng, she just looks
like Richelle.”
Upon the persuasion of her brother and the doctor, the horror in Kiara’s eyes gradually subsided, and she became more and more at peace.
Only then did Harris release the hand covering her mouth, and Kiara stared at
“Ms. Zeng” with a mix of disbelief.
After a while, she asked “Ms. Zeng” in a hoarse voice, “Are you really not Richelle?”
“Ms. Zeng” looked confused and furrowed her brows, “Who is Richelle?” Richelie’s acting was so superb that not only Harris and Kiara were deceived, but even Hugo and Master Troy, who knew the truth, were drawn into her performance.
“Ms. Zeng, sorry, they probably misidentified you.
Hugo apologized with a smile, ordered a few cups of coffee, and gestured for her to leave.
As “Ms. Zeng” turned and left, Kiara’s gaze followed her figure until she disappeared around the corner.
Kiara looked back and slowly asked Harris.
“Brother, is that bitch Richelle really dead?”
Harris nodded, lightly patted her head, and comforted her.
“Didn’t the police notify us? They’ve checked the DNA. How could it be fake?”
Hugo’s hand under the table clenched tightly into a fist.
No wonder Richelle said that this entire family deserved to go to hell!
With the cooperation of Hugo and Master Troy, Richelle used her superb acting skills to successfully help Kiara get rid of her inner demons.
Two days later, Master Troy contacted Richelle.
“Richelle, Kiara has been recovering well in the past two days. I’ll give her a few more days of recovery treatment, and in about a week, I’ll be able to call it a job well done.”
Richelle was very grateful, “Thank you, Master, for your help. Once I’ve dealt with the matters at hand, I’ll bring the child to thank you in person!”
Master Troy was sympathetic to Richelle’s ordeal, and since she was also the disciple of his junior sister, he took her problems seriously.
“These are all trivial matters. The young master of the Dunn family is not to be underestimated. You, be careful.”
After all, Master Troy was not a businessman, so he merely reminded Richelle based on his brief interactions with Harris.
“Thank you for the reminder, Master. I know what I’m doing.”
“Well, Jia Qi said that you are a very determined girl. Since you know what you are doing, I won’t try to persuade you anymore.”
A few more days passed, and Master Troy wrapped up his work, flying directly from Lordon back to South Asia.
As for Kiara’s full recovery, Roy Lewis received the news the day Master Troy left Lordon.
“Master Lewis, the Dunns are hosting a big feast in Lordon to celebrate Kiara’s recovery. Shouldn’t you send a gift on behalf of Timmy?”
The Lewis Group and the Dunn Group had already torn their faces apart.
But after all, Timmy was still the grandson of the Dunns.
“Indeed, I should send a gift!”
Nathan Caroule thought he had misheard. “Sir, are you really sending a gift?” Roy Lewis nodded, “Of course, I am sending one, and it must be expensive!” So, two days later, Kiara’s congratulatory banquet received an extremely valuable gift.
It was an ancient jade worth nearly 200 million yuan.
Upon hearing that Roy Lewis sent the gift on behalf of his son Timmy, both Jayden Dunn and Megan Linwood were dumbfounded.
Not daring to let their beloved daughter know, they quickly called their son into the resting room and handed him the ancient jade.
“Theo, what do you think Roy Lewis means by this?
This ancient jade was bought by Roy Lewis for nearly 200 million yuan at an auction a year ago, and at that time, various media outlets reported on it extensively.
Harris picked up the ancient jade and thought carefully, while Megan muttered to Jayden.
“By sending such an expensive gift, is he trying to make peace?
Jayden wanted to believe that, but his rationality told him it was unlikely. “How proud is Roy Lewis, would he come to us humbly to make peace?
Harris chimed in on the side, “I don’t think it’s for the sake of making peace. It might mean that he wants to buy out his son with this jade.
Megan angrily said, “Ridiculous!”, then went on, “That bastard’s son has no heart for our family, but even so, giving a piece of jade as a buyout, does he think we are beggars?”
Megan’s words were not false.
Roy Lewis did, indeed, see them as beggars!
