Chapter 109 - 105: Scum, Only Deserve to Go to Hell!
Richelle Dunn’s aura suddenly became sharp, with her words half true and half false, but directly hitting Jayden Dunn’s sore spot, his face turned very ugly.
Megan Linwood had never been treated like this before, her face turning pale as she spoke to Richelle Dunn.
“Ms. Munni, whether to halt trading or not is not up to you!”
Richelle Dunn raised her eyebrows and sneered, looking at her with utter disdain, as if looking at a dying, struggling ant.
“Of course, it’s not up to me. I’m just kindly reminding Mr. and Mrs. Dunn that if you come to us after the halting of trading, let alone US$ 6,834,335,000, we won’t even invest five hundred!”
“You!” Megan Linwood, angered by her disdainful tone, started to tremble and opened her mouth to curse, but Jayden Dunn grabbed her arm to stop her. “Megan, calm down! Let me talk to Ms. Munni about this.”
Richelle Dunn coldly scanned the couple, propping her hand on the table and standing up abruptly, her face filled with mockery as she looked at them.
“Mr. Dunn, it seems that you and your wife haven’t reached an agreement. In that case, there’s no point in wasting each other’s time.”
As she spoke, she packed up her documents while signaling Hugo Camrey with her eyes.
Hugo immediately stood up, his attitude slightly more polite as he spoke to the couple.
“Mr. and Mrs. Dunn, let’s meet again once you’ve discussed things!”
Jayden Dunn panicked and quickly stood up to keep them from leaving.
“Ms. Munni, Mr. Turner, we’ve just started our conversation, haven’t we? And we haven’t fully understood each other yet. We can talk about any issues slowly while sitting down.”
Richelle Dunn had already started walking away, replying to Jayden Dunn as she walked.
“Mr. Dunn, hold on, we already know Dunn Group’s situation like the back of our hand. Our company’s conditions have also been mentioned. Whenever you’ve made a decision, feel free to call me!”
Seeing that he couldn’t keep them from leaving, Jayden Dunn could only force a smile and escorted them to the elevator.
Before the elevator doors closed, a loud bang came from the VIP room.
Richelle Dunn looked at Jayden Dunn with amusement and said.
“Mr. Dunn, no need to escort us any further. You’d better get back to Mrs. Dunn right away.”
Jayden Dunn apologized and quickly ran back to the VIP room.
The blue-and-white porcelain vase he had just spent nearly US$ 10,000,000 bidding on had become a pile of worthless shattered pieces scattered on the floor.
“Megan Linwood, have you gone crazy?!”
Jayden Dunn, furious and upset, ran over, looking at the broken pieces on the floor, his heart bleeding.
Megan Linwood angrily pointed at him, “You’re the one who’s crazy! We don’t know if those two were real or fake…”
“Megan Linwood, enough! United Ventures is the very venture capital firm who invested billions to save Cybeauty Technology. It’s rare that they came to talk to us on their own initiative, and now, you have scared them away with just one sentence!”
Megan Linwood was stunned for a moment but quickly shouted back at him.
“Me scaring them away? Was that Ms. Munni even speaking like a human being earlier? Halting trading? As if the Securities Regulatory Commission belongs to her family!”
Jayden Dunn was already very upset, and when he heard Megan Linwood mention “halting trading” again, he suddenly lost all his strength and collapsed weakly onto the ground.
Megan Linwood was frightened, “Hey! Hey! Jayden, what’s wrong with you? Don’t scare me…”
Megan Linwood ran over to him while shouting hysterically outside.
“Someone, come quickly! The President has fainted!”
Richelle Dunn and Hugo Camrey were completely unaware of the commotion happening at Dunn Group.
The two of them got into the car, and as soon as they closed the door, Hugo asked.
“Richelle, is this venture capital firm really going to invest US$ 6,834,335,000 in Jayden?”
Richelle Dunn giggled for a while, then wiping her eyes from the tears of laughter, asked the bewildered Hugo.
“Let me ask you, if you had a terminal illness with only a hundred days left, but the doctor told you he could save you and let you live a long life, only for him to tell you after you’ve been on the operating table thinking you’d be perfectly fine after surgery, that it was all fake, and he can’t save you, how would that feel?”
Hugo frowned, “What kind of analogy is that? Of course, I’d wish that scumbag doctor had never appeared! Why not enjoy the last hundred days to the fullest?”
Richelle Dunn snapped her fingers, “That’s it! Keeping Jayden Dunn and Megan Linwood on tenterhooks with a little bit of hope, doesn’t it feel more fun than having no hope at all?”
Upon hearing this, Hugo was finally bowled over by Richelle Dunn.
“Richelle, I’m glad I never offended you!”
Richelle Dunn glanced at him and laughed.
“Don’t worry, if you offend me, I’ll give you three chances.”
Richelle regarded Hugo Camrey as a friend, so she allowed him the opportunity to offend her.
But scum like Jayden Dunn and Megan Linwood deserve to go to hell!
In the evening, Nathan Caroule went to the Lewis house to report his work. After finishing the report, he casually mentioned something to Roy Lewis.
“Master Lewis, I heard that people from United Ventures have approached Jayden Dunn.”
Roy Lewis raised an eyebrow, “United Ventures from South Asia?”
Nathan nodded, “Yes, should we send someone to find out more?”
Roy Lewis felt this news was quite peculiar, and said with some skepticism,
“Are you sure?”
Nathan took out his mobile phone, opened a photo, and handed it over to Roy Lewis.
“Master, take a look.”
Upon seeing the photo, Roy noticed the woman was stunning, with a tall figure and long curly hair, dressed in a form-fitting red suit.
The man was handsome, with a small mustache, tall and thin, wearing a suit and leather shoes, looking very much like an elite.
The photo’s resolution wasn’t high, but the faces were recognizable. Roy Lewis looked carefully for a few moments, feeling that they both seemed somewhat familiar.
But after another look, both faces appeared to be complete strangers.
“What are their names?”
“Denise Munni and Darren Turner.”
Roy Lewis nodded, “Verify it as soon as possible.”
Nathan acted quickly. Roy Lewis had just gone upstairs to give Timmy a goodnight kiss. When he came back down, Nathan reported to him.
“Master, 1 have confirmed that United Ventures indeed has Denise Munni and Darren Turner. As for the matter of the Dunn Group, they said it’s an internal secret and cannot be disclosed.”
Roy Lewis pondered, then asked, “Did you check their immigration records?”
“I did. Those two are indeed in Kindur, but their exact whereabouts are uncertain.”
Roy Lewis waved, “Okay, keep a close eye on it. If United Ventures indeed gets involved, things will become more complicated.”
Nathan understood the implications; hence, he reported the news to Roy Lewis as soon as he got the information.
After Nathan left, Roy Lewis dealt with a few more matters. By 11 PM, he had finally resolved the most urgent issues.
At this time, Uncle Axel brought in a cup of hot tea, saying that it was a “calming tea from Dr. Dunn.”
As Roy Lewis took a few sips, he noticed that the tea seemed to have a faint aroma of lotus leaves. He picked up his phone and sent a message to Richelle Dunn.
“Does the calming tea have lotus leaves in it?”
Richelle didn’t reply, probably because she was asleep.
Roy Lewis felt a bit dispirited. He was about to take out his phone to retract the message when suddenly Richelle replied.
“Very smart!”
Roy Lewis’ lips curled slightly, and he sent a few more words, “Haven’t slept yet?”
“Just getting ready to sleep. Good night!”
Roy Lewis also replied with a “good night,” then sat in his chair, cradling the teacup and savoring the tea.
The previously quiet laptop on the side suddenly “dinged,” indicating a new email.
Roy Lewis leaned over and opened the email. It was a message from his latest “ally,” Margareth.
“United Ventures sent people to Dunn Group today. Any thoughts, Mr.. Moneybags?”
