Chapter 99: Chapter 95: Even Timothy and Tiffany, all are to be snatched away!
Translator: 549690339
At half past nine in the evening, after telling Timothy and Tifanny their bedtime story via video call, Richelie Dunn turned to call her eldest son.
Timmy’s face appeared promptly on the screen, as trendy as Timothy and Tifanny.
“Timmy, your brother and sister listened to a story about an alien invasion today. Do you want to listen to something else, or do you like this one?”
Richelle’s bedtime stories were sometimes inspired by children’s books, but others were completely improvised based on the children’s interests and requests. Tonight’s alien invasion story was one of the latter.
Like his younger siblings, Timmy had a curious and imaginative fascination with outer space and aliens. He blinked and replied in his sweet voice,
“I want to hear about the aliens…”
Seeing her eldest son showing his rare softer side, Richelle yearned to embrace and ruffle him. Her gaze softened even more.
Her voice, gentle and clear, traveled through the phone to Timmy’s ears, and her loving gaze made him feel as if he was basking in a warm spring day. As she kept talking, Timmy gradually grew sleepy. His eyelids began to droop as he gently sucked on his thumb, indicating he was about to fall asleep.
“Good night, sweetheart!”
“Good night, Mommy…”, Only in his half-awake state would Timmy call her without hesitation, just as his heart desired.
Richelle felt a warm glow, along with a hint of melancholy.
If only she was there by his side at this moment, patting his back gently and lulling him to sleep with her soft voice. That would have been so wonderful!
Well… She was growing more and more greedy!
Richelle watched her son’s sleeping face on the screen for a while before reluctantly hanging up the call and quickly resuming her work.
With the children not by her side, Richelle had plenty of time to busy herself.
Initially, she thought it would take two or three more days to finish taking stock. However, by ten o’clock in the evening, everything was done.
She quickly went through all the documents, confirming their accuracy before compiling them into a large compressed file and sending it to a highly confidential email account.
The recipient was online and replied almost instantly.
“Received!”
About half an hour later, the elusive financier, who even Hugo Camrey wouldn’t dare to provoke sent her a few more words.
“Pleasure working with you!”
Perhaps it was due to the familiar phrase, but seeing these words from her financier reminded Richelle of Roy Lewis extending his hand to her and saying, “Pleasure working with you”.
Richelle vigorously rubbed her face,
What was she thinking? Why was he in her thoughts?
“It’s been a pleasure. Thank you for your patronage!”
The financier didn’t reply again. Richelle suspected she may have been blocked by him.
After all, most people wanted to avoid any involvement with individuals of their status.
A few minutes later, she received a bank notification of a deposit. It was the remaining payment of US$ 13,670,000 transferred by Hugo Camrey.
Before Richelle could message Hugo, he sent a video call request.
Richelle answered and told him immediately,
“I’ve received the money. Let me treat you to a lavish meal when we’re both free!”
Hugo’s face was full of joy, but it was evident his happiness wasn’t just because of Richelle’s proposed feast.
“Richelle, you’re really one lucky bastard.”
Richelle exclaimed in surprise, and Hugo excitedly informed her,
“Our financier said that you did an exceptional job on this mission. Therefore, as a reward, your two hundred million fee is a net payment after tax.”
Wow, this financier is loaded and stupid! But the adorable kind of stupid!
Initially, the two hundred million was Richelle’s hike up price with extra terms. Yet, during the project, the financier had even given her a special bonus regarding the Dunn Group. Now, he was generously offering her a net payment after tax.
I’m sorry for misunderstanding you, our financier.
You are a good man, a benefactor, not someone to be feared!
The unexpected fortune had Richelle and Hugo excited for quite a while. After calming down, Hugo began to talk about the Dunns.
“Richelle, Kiara Dunn indeed gave birth. Lordon Hospital has her records, and the information about her child matches with Timmy. So, we can confirm that Kiara Dunn is Timmy’s mother. However, only a few reputable families in Lordon know about her having a child.”
Richelle was prepared for this answer. However, she was puzzled. The Lewis were such a wealthy and powerful family. Even if Kiara didn’t successfully marry into them, just the fact that her “son” became the Lewis’ little prince was enough for Kiara and her family to flaunt.
“What’s the reason?”
“No one knows the reason. 1 guess, it’s very likely that the Lewis requested it.”
Hugo’s assumption matched Richelle’s thoughts.
“I happened to have a chance to chat with Roy Lewis’s assistant today. 1 probed about Timmy’s ‘mother’. The assistant cleverly avoided my questions. It’s evident that Roy Lewis never disclosed anything about Timmy’s mother. In fact, it seems to be a taboo topic.”
Although many details and the true relationship between Roy Lewis and Kiara Dunn were unknown, at least it was now confirmed that Kiara Dunn was Timmy’s despised “mother”.
It could also be affirmed that starting from when Megan Linwood imprisoned her in that crappy room, there was a plan to snatch her child and get close to Roy Lewis.
If she hadn’t almost died, they would have taken Timothy and Tifanny together!
