Chapter 230: Chapter 226: I’m Afraid of Dying!
Translator: 549690339
Richelle Dunn wasn’t in a hurry to move, “Let’s see…”
Roy Lewis noticed she didn’t seem very enthusiastic about it and asked.
“Or do you have other plans?”
Of course, from Roy Lewis’s perspective.
His house was big enough; it would be best for Richelle and her two children to move in with him directly.
But as much as he hoped, he knew that an independent woman like Richelle wouldn’t be living with him so quickly even if they established a relationship.
Richelle didn’t actually have other plans; her mind wasn’t on this at all.
Moving was a serious matter that would take some time.
“We’re both busy lately; instead of finding a random place to move, let’s wait until we have some free time, compare our options, and make a decision.”
Roy Lewis thought about it and found her suggestion reasonable.
Originally, Roy Lewis planned to have Nathan Caroule help with the arrangements, but after hearing Richelle’s words, he felt it was better to visit and compare the places themselves before making a decision.
“Ok, we’ll talk about it later.”
On this matter, Richelle didn’t exclude him, which made him feel very relieved.
“By the way, I have a task tomorrow. If you have time, come over and accompany the kids. If not, Mrs. Walker can handle it.”
Roy Lewis was in a good mood, so he didn’t get upset like last time.
“I’ll see what I can do; you also be careful. If you can, send me a message or give me a call.”
Although they haven’t even confirmed their relationship, their interaction was already like an old married couple.
The two of them chatted casually, neither mentioning what happened last night.
But they both knew that after last night, their hearts were closer.
As they chatted, Roy Lewis began to feel drowsy, but he tried to stay awake to talk more with Richelle.
However, he didn’t last long and fell into a deep sleep. When he woke up, he didn’t linger and went home to take care of his business.
He opened his email and clicked on the message that Benjamin Fred had sent him last night, revealing the results of their handling of last night’s situation.
Seeing the expected outcome, Roy Lewis didn’t feel happy.
The failure of their plan last night seemed to have been thwarted by the Thompsons, with some casualties.
But in reality, the more frightening thing was how many suspicious people were lurking around Mr. Rowen’s side.
Or perhaps Mr. Rowen himself was the biggest suspect?
Roy Lewis didn’t rush to communicate his thoughts with his uncle.
Because if he could think of it, his uncle would definitely have thought about it even earlier.
As for how to deploy and proceed later, he also believed that his uncle had enough wisdom and ability to solve it.
What he needed to do now was to obtain information about the Thompsons in the central region from Margareth as soon as possible.
Roy Lewis logged into the system, and the first thing he saw was an email from Margareth.
Upon opening it, even though he was prepared, he was still shocked by the contents of the information provided in the documents.
Margareth also explained in the attachment that this was only a small portion of the information he needed.
Roy Lewis frowned. Obviously, the preliminary central plan that he and his uncle and colleagues had drafted earlier had to be completely abandoned.
Moreover, he now suspected that even if East-Asia Federation teamed up with several other federations, they might not be able to completely eradicate the Thompsons’ overseas power as they wished.
Who would have the upper hand? It’s hard to say at this point!
Roy Lewis stared at the information for a while before sending a message to Benjamin Fred.
“Secretary-General Fred, please come to me as soon as possible.”
For such top-secret information, Roy Lewis naturally couldn’t use ordinary social media to communicate.
He copied the information and fiddled with the computer for a while before sending a message to Margareth.
“Received. Please check the deposit.”
Usually, Roy Lewis would only contact Margareth in the evenings, so he assumed she wouldn’t be online at this time.
But she replied quickly.
“Got it! Thank you, my generous benefactor. The next delivery may be late because it’s really difficult.”
If before today, Roy Lewis might have thought that Margareth was deliberately exaggerating the task’s difficulty to get a higher reward, after seeing the information she just provided, Roy Lewis had to admit that she deserved the hefty pay.
Once again, Roy Lewis had the idea of recruiting Margareth to work for him.
“Are you interested in working with me?”
Roy Lewis had an intuition that Margareth was just short of money, but she definitely wasn’t someone who would do anything for money.
“No!”
Margareth’s reply was very straightforward.
This was actually within Roy Lewis’s expectations, but he still wanted to know why she was so resolute in her refusal.
“Why?”
“I’m afraid of dying!”
Margareth was candid and adorable!
For some reason, Roy Lewis always had the illusion that Margareth had some overlapping aspects with Richelle Dunn.
The two of them probably had similar personalities.
Of course, he knew she wasn’t Richelle.
He once suspected that Hugo Camrey was Margareth, but even though they had many overlapping aspects, Roy Lewis eventually ruled out Hugo Camrey as a possibility.
“This invitation is valid for a long time!”
Roy Lewis gave her a long-term invitation, but she didn’t reply to him again.
The next day, Richelle returned to the Dunn Group as Denise Munni, as arranged, and met with Hugo Camrey again.
This time, it was Jayden Dunn and Harris Dunn who received them together.
“Ms. Munni, Mr. Turner, United Ventures has recently invested in several major projects in the Federation. I wonder if the next one will be our Dunn Group?”
Perhaps sensing that Harris Dunn was too impulsive last time, Jayden Dunn took the lead in the negotiation this time.
Richelle wasn’t concerned about which of the father and son duo would take the lead. Regardless, she wouldn’t show mercy to either.
“Mr. Dunn, isn’t the Lichtenstein Group cooperating with you? I’m afraid we won’t have a chance.”
This Lichtenstein Group seemed to have a deep background in the Federation, but Richelle hadn’t looked into it yet.
Or more accurately, Richelle didn’t deliberately investigate it, because the Lichtenstein Group seemed to be even less reliable and untrustworthy than United Ventures, which she represented.
They had previously hyped up their collaboration in the media, but until now, there was no further cooperation with the Dunn Group.
It is possible that Lichtenstein also had the same intention as Richelle.
However, Richelle had too many things to deal with lately and couldn’t spare the time to analyze this “opponent” and its true power.
Jayden Dunn personally served them tea with a smile, “Ms. Munni, those were just rumors. Also, our Dunn Group and United Ventures share a lot of similarities in management concepts and future planning, haven’t we basically reached a consensus on our intention to cooperate?”
Richelle smiled and said, “Whether we can reach a consensus depends on your sincerity, Mr. Dunn.”
Harris Dunn, who hadn’t spoken much before, finally said something.
“We have enough sincerity and hope your company can have the same sincerity.”
Richelle raised an eyebrow, “Oh? It seems Mr. Dunn has other requests?”
Harris Dunn’s expression was serious, “We can accept the proportion you proposed, but on the condition that your company only invests and does not participate in management!”
