Chapter 289: Chapter 285: This Boyfriend is Half-Useless
Translator: 549690339
She got up at three o’clock in the morning that day, and Roy Lewis got up early too, waiting in the living room.
“Richelle, how about I go with you?”
Richelle Dunn still shook her head firmly, “No need, today, I want to go by myself.”
For this matter, the two had been arguing for two or three days.
Roy always felt uneasy, thinking about going with her to show support.
But Richelle insisted that she would attend the first board meeting alone.
It’s not that she wanted to exclude Roy from the revenge plan. Instead, she wanted to regain some dignity by taking matters into her own hands.
Roy was eager to protect his wife, but he couldn’t win against her will.
At the same time, he knew that she was not the kind of person who needed others to protect her to stay safe.
She was a natural-born warrior, and what she was best at was facing difficulties head-on and conquering all impossibilities.
“Alright, just be careful. How about I arrange a driver for you?”
When it came to this, Roy was a little jealous.
Even though Richelle was not his lawful wife, he was still her boyfriend. But when she went out, the driver was Hugo Camrey, and the bodyguard was arranged by Hugo too.
It seemed that her boyfriend had nothing to do with it.
But Richelle had her reasons, “Hugo has been involved in this matter all along. He is more familiar with some things.”
Although Roy was sour in his heart, he knew he shouldn’t interfere too much. Otherwise, Richelle’s temperament would only backfire.
So in the early morning, Hugo came to pick up Richelle without entering the house. He parked the car outside and called Richelle to go out.
Roy, however, escorted her to the car and even specifically bent down beside the window to give Hugo a few words of instruction.
After Richelle left, Nathan Caroule came to report some things, seeing Roy with a sullen face, he couldn’t help but feel a little schadenfreude.
“Master, did Dr. Dunn dump you?”
Roy gave him a glare, “Do you think your salary deduction was too little recently?”
Nathan stuck out his tongue, not daring to make any more wild guesses to test Roy’s bottom line.
Richelle, who got in the car, also faced ridicule.
“Richelle, Master Lewis is really keeping a tight eye on you now. If people know that you are his girlfriend, otherwise, they would think he is your father.” Richelle also felt a headache when it came to this.
“There’s no way around it. Just wait a while, when he gets tired of being in control, he won’t want to do it anymore.”
However, Hugo didn’t agree with her optimism, but as a single dog, he had no reason to convince her.
But for decades to come, Roy proved with his actions as both a husband and a father that Richelle was indeed overly optimistic.
Richelle was attending the Dunn Group’s quarterly shareholder meeting this time.
All shareholders holding more than two percent of the shares were eligible to attend the meeting.
Richelle had bought about 1.6 percent of the shares in Dunn Group when the share price was at its lowest point. Afterward, she bought some more scattered shares after receiving money from her backers. In total, she had just crossed the starting line of two percent.
Later, when Roy casually gave her US$205,025,000, she had planned to buy more shares, but the share price of Dunn Group had risen a lot because of United Ventures’ investment.
So, Richelle didn’t make a move for now.
She didn’t forget that the securities regulator was still investigating the Dunn Group.
According to the information she provided to her backers, it was almost certain that the Dunn Group would be punished.
She was holding on to the large sum of money, just waiting for the right time to buy in again.
Richelle and Hugo returned to Lordon at around nine in the morning. Richelle invited Hugo to a breakfast stall she used to frequent when she was in college.
The owner had been running the stall for more than twenty years. When he saw Richelle, he was first startled, then greeted her kindly.
“Young lady, what do you want to eat? I’ll treat you to it.”
Richelle felt a warm familiarity with the owner, and said, “Then, please recommend something for me, thank you.”
The owner quickly brought some of the best-selling breakfast items from the stall. He couldn’t help but take a few more glances at Richelle.
“Young lady, you look a lot like a girl I know.”
Richelle knew the owner still remembered her.
“Really? It’s just a coincidence,” she replied.
After finishing breakfast, Richelle left US$68 under the plate. When they returned to the car, Hugo asked her.
“Did the owner recognize you?”
Richelle shook her head, “No, he truly thought we just looked alike. Actually, only those with a guilty conscience who have done something wrong, like Diana Thompson and Kiara Dunn, would think they saw a ghost.”
Hugo looked at her strangely, “Diana Thompson?”
Richelle had forgotten that she hadn’t told Hugo about it.
“A few years ago, Diana Thompson and Megan Linwood conspired together to set up Roy and me.”
With that said, what else did Hugo not understand?
“So, Roy refused to help James Lewis and his son with bail or plead for mercy?”
“That’s another matter. In any case, Master Lewis was very angry when he found out about it. Even if Roy didn’t say anything, I guess Master Lewis wouldn’t let James and his son off easily.”
Even though they were both his own grandchildren, the weight of Roy in Master Lewis’s heart was always different.
The two of them chatted casually, and they arrived at the Dunn Group conference hall on time around ten o’clock.
This was Richelle’s first public appearance in front of the Dunn family and shareholders since her last appearance in the banquet hall.
As she and Hugo took off their sunglasses, the faces of the peaceful and chattering crowd changed.
Father and son Jayden Dunn, after seeing Richelle’s face, instantly turned dark.
“What are you doing here?”
