Chapter 46: Chapter 43: This hacker is extremely similar to Richelie Dunn
Translator: 549690339
Roy Lewis’ mood was rarely influenced or swayed by others.
Except for close family members like Timmy or his uncle, who he cared deeply about.
But in these two days, he had been an exception time and again.
Yesterday, he felt uneasy about Richelle Dunn’s distant attitude towards her two children.
Today, he was frustrated and irritated by Richelle Dunn’s defensive posture.
So much so that his usually reserved emotions were actually sensed by his son. He didn’t know whether he was being too obvious or if his son was really in tune with him.
“Daddy, are you unhappy?”
As the pair bent down to change their shoes in the hallway, the son, who had always been indifferent to him, tugged at his clothes and looked up at him with concern.
“No!”
Roy Lewis hadn’t figured out where his discontent was coming from, so naturally, he couldn’t share these inexplicable emotions with his four-year-old son.
The little gentleman looked at him again, “Oh…then Daddy, go to bed early, good night!”
The little gentleman had been independent since he was a child. Roy Lewis did not have the habit of accompanying his son to bed and telling bedtime stories. So after saying goodnight, the little gentleman was taken back to the bedroom by Mrs. Collins to take a bath, and Roy Lewis returned to the study to deal with some matters.
Near ten o’clock, Roy Lewis received a video call from Kennedy Green, who had been out of touch for more than a day.
As soon as the call was connected, Kennedy’s handsome and mature face appeared on the screen.
Roy Lewis greeted him, “Uncle, are you done?”
Green looked at him carefully for a few moments, nodding satisfactorily.
“Yeah, you look quite energetic.”
Roy Lewis felt helpless. To his family, the Lewis Group, and the outside world, he was the fearsome Master Lewis.
But in the eyes of his uncle, he would always be a child.
“Didn’t you issue a presidential order forcing me to rest at home? I dare not resist casually, or I’d be beheaded!”
It is said that nephews resemble their uncles, and indeed, Roy Lewis and Kennedy Green had similar facial features.
However, unlike the always serious and expressionless Roy Lewis, Kennedy was quite cheerful and approachable.
At this time, he was smiling at Roy Lewis, “See, isn’t the effect pretty good?” Roy Lewis was speechless, but he didn’t want to discuss this issue with Kennedy at the moment. After all, he had no objections regarding his treatment.
“Uncle, please don’t get involved in the Dunn family matters in the future.” Green’s laughter ceased, and his wise eyes filled with inquiry.
“What’s the matter between you and Kiara? The two of you are forever Timmy’s parents. Even if you’re not together, you shouldn’t make a scene.”
Roy Lewis used to be indifferent to Kiara, but since that day, he deeply resented her.
“Kiara may not be fully aware and emotionally ready to be a mother. I only realized how badly I was fooled by them when I saw it with my own eyes.” Roy Lewis simply recounted the incident that happened at the cafeteria that day. After listening, Kennedy’s expression turned serious.
“1 didn’t know about this. When Jayden Dunn called, he only mentioned that
Kiara had some misunderstandings with you and asked me to help bail her out.
I was busy at that time, so 1 just told Benjamin to handle it.”
Roy Lewis nodded in acknowledgment, “1 don’t blame you for this, Uncle. This incident isn’t that big of a crime, and one day of detention and the payment of some money are more than enough. 1 just wanted to teach her a lesson, but if something similar happens again, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
Green had always refrained from getting involved in Roy Lewis’ affairs, “If you and Kiara fall apart, what will happen to Timmy?” His primary concern was the little rascal, Timmy.
“He has been discontent with Kiara for a long time. He always complained to me that he didn’t want to see them again. I never took his childish tantrums seriously, but thank goodness I went with him on that day, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.”
As Roy Lewis recalled the situation at the time, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.
Green waved his hand, “Alright, I won’t interfere with your issues with the
Dunn family. But they’re not easy to deal with. There’s a lot of entanglement; there’s no need to be too ruthless.”
Roy Lewis nodded in agreement.
“By the way, your aunt told me that one of her close friends has a daughter.
She’s quite pretty, with a good personality…”
As soon as Roy Lewis heard this familiar tone, he hurriedly interrupted.
“Uncle, isn’t my current physical condition obviously harming the other party?” This reason was Roy Lewis’ most effective shield.
As expected, Kennedy backed down, “Fine! Fine! Let’s wait until you’ve recovered.”
But in reality, even though Roy Lewis had just received a critical illness notice a few days ago, he never believed he would die so soon.
Especially now that Richelle Dunn was with his family, he was more at ease about his health in the future.
However, these things could only be known to him. Otherwise, not only would his dear aunt continue to introduce him to potential matches, but the elders of the Federation family would also be eager to introduce their younger relatives. It was more than just annoying.
After discussing private matters, Kennedy put on a serious face.
“Any progress on the Lordon case?”
Roy Lewis shook his head, “Not yet, but it should be soon.”
Green’s eyes lit up, “Do you have any leads?”
Roy Lewis nodded, “1 just found a good helper!”
Green nodded, “Alright, I’ll trust you on this. If this issue isn’t resolved, it will cause widespread panic.”
The two discussed a few more details, and as the time approached half-past ten, Kennedy had to leave for an international conference and quickly hung up. Roy Lewis had been going to bed before midnight as Richelle had requested. At this time, he still had some free time, so he turned on his computer and logged into a certain system after facial recognition.
Through the top-secret account, he sent a message to the user whose display name was hidden by ***. They had contacted each other at noon.
“How is the task progressing?”
The other party seemed to also be online at the time and quickly replied.
“Hold on, 1’11 send you today’s progress.”
After waiting for about five or six minutes, the other party sent over a top-secret compressed file.
Roy Lewis used a special decryption method to unzip the file.
The content displayed in the documents far exceeded Roy Lewis’ expectations, and even he, who was always demanding of his work, couldn’t help but praise it.
Though these contents were just the tip of the iceberg in the vast amounts of data they needed, even just this small amount had baffled many experts. Apparently, this helper was really good.
“Very good! With this progress, you should be able to complete the task within a month.”
Roy Lewis had been racking his brains for this case, and now that he saw a glimmer of light, his mood was quite good. Uncharacteristically, he praised the other person.
However, it seemed that the other party was not interested in his praise.
“Thank you. Progress and content are based on the amount you paid.”
The implication was that if he wanted things to go faster, he could pay more.
Roy Lewis never liked being blackmailed, so when he saw the other party’s response, he was slightly displeased.
But for some reason, an image of Richelle Dunn suddenly popped into his mind.
Could it be that the person carrying out the task, just like Richelle Dunn, was burdened with a huge family and desperately in need of money?
Under some inexplicable influence, he typed a few words.
“Are you short on money?”
“If 1 wasn’t short on money, who would do this life-threatening job?”
This person’s blunt nature was also strikingly similar to Richelle Dunn’s….
