Chapter 176 - 172: Does She Look Like
a Scammer?
After giving Timmy his lesson, Richelle Dunn headed straight to the hospital. Previously, Mrs. Camrey had always been accompanied by her bodyguard driver, so when Richelle saw Hugo Camrey, who usually slept until two or three in the afternoon, in the hospital room, she was somewhat surprised.
“What are you doing here?”
Hugo glared at her, “I’m concerned about my mom. What’s wrong with that?” Mrs. Camrey laughed and tapped her son on the head, “See? Even Richelle thinks you’re a disobedient son.”
Richelle quickly defended Hugo, “That’s not it, it’s just that his working hours are special, so daytime is his normal sleeping time.”
But Mrs. Camrey didn’t side with her son, “His internet cafe makes less money a month than what I pay for the hospital room. Also, that shabby internet cafe can be fully managed by the handsome front desk guy. My son is just a loafing around.”???????????????????????? &
Hugo spread his hands to Richelle, “See? Even my mother looks down on me. I’ve got no hope left!”
Richelle joked and laughed with him while preparing for the course of acupuncture treatment.
Mrs. Camrey brought up an old topic, “Richelle, when you have time, bring your two little treasures to my house to play! Recently, the strawberries in the back mountain orchard seem to be ripe. Have them come and pick strawberries.”
It wasn’t that Richelle didn’t want the children to go, it’s just that Mrs. Camrey appeared to be quite familiar with Roy Lewis, and perhaps, she had seen Timmy before.
■’They’re too much of troublemakers. I’d be embarrassed to bring them out to meet people!”
Mrs. Camrey looked at Hugo, expecting him to say something to help.
Hugo knew she was trying to help him, but Timothy and Tifanny were special cases, and he understood Richelie’s concerns about them being exposed.
“Mom, Richelle has a lot of things to do every day. How can she find time to take the children out to play?”
Mrs. Camrey glared at him, “Then, can’t you help watch them for a day?” Hugo quickly raised his hands, “I don’t have that ability, Mom. Please let me off!”
Seeing that Hugo took the initiative to divert the topic, Richelle gave him a grateful smile.
Halfway through the acupuncture treatment, Mrs. Camrey fell asleep, just as she did during the previous days.
That’s when Hugo asked Richelle, “Richelle, have you seen the announcement issued by the Lewis Group?”
Richelle had been disturbed by Timmy and Roy Lewis that morning, and she had been busy giving Timmy his lesson and hurrying back to the hospital. She hadn t had time to check the news yet.
“The Lewis Group’s announcement? What announcement?”
Hugo was too lazy to explain, “You can see it for yourself!”
Richelle opened the Lewis Group’s official website and saw a new announcement at the top.
It basically stated that due to Dunn Group being suspected of illegal manipulation of the stock market, the Lewis Group, after voting and consultation among its shareholders, unanimously decided to terminate all ongoing cooperation projects with Dunn Group. As for those projects with unexpired remaining time, they would not be renewed once their term was up. Richelle quickly read through the announcement and exited the page. She then checked the stock market.
As expected, the Dunn Group’s share price, which had finally stabilized in the past two days due to rumors of cooperation with a large enterprise, fell sharply again. In fact, it couldn’t hold until noon, and was suspended from trading before the market closed.
“This Roy Lewis is so ruthless!”
Richelle said this, but there was a smile on her face.
Hugo had a vague feeling that he missed some exciting drama, “Richelle, has anything big happened these days?”
Richelle briefly mentioned the incident of Timmy provoking his father to visit the Dunns yesterday. After listening, Hugo couldn’t help but praise Timmy. “Timmy is really something!”
Richelle, however, didn’t agree, “He’s too brazen. What if Kiara is just faking
But Hugo had a different opinion, “Isn’t Master Lewis there? Can the Dunns and Kiara really do anything to Timmy?”
Richelle didn’t doubt Roy Lewis’ capability, however, she doubted human nature.
Right now, the Dunns were cornered, and nobody knew what they might do.
If it were her, she would never push Timmy out to take the risk.
“Hugo, you’ve never raised a pet before, how can you understand how I feel as a mother?”
Hugo indeed didn’t understand, so he didn’t dwell on this issue anymore.
He just asked her, “So now, do you plan to make a move now?”
The Dunn Group’s share price had stopped its decline in the past few days and even had a slight increase. Hugo was a bit impatient and had advised Richelle to take profits and stop loss.
But Richelle, as always, remained calm, replying with the same mantra, “The time hasn’t come!”
Hugo also had some idle cash on hand, and this time, he intended to buy some Dunn Group shares at a low price.
First, it was an investment.
Second, it would increase the Dunn Group’s friendship shares.
He thought it was almost time to take action.
However, Richelle still repeated, “The time hasn’t come!”
Hugo couldn’t figure out what Richelle was planning to do, but he always had great trust in her. Since she said the time hadn’t come, he would wait a little longer.
“If Jayden Dunn calls you tomorrow, tell him clearly that the price is still the same, but the shares we want are one and a half times what we asked for last time.”
Hugo hesitated for a moment; even though he was on Richelle’s side, he felt that this price and allotment were a bit ambitious.
“They probably won’t agree, will they?”
“I didn’t expect them to!”
Richelle wasn’t really going to buy, she was just toying with them.
Hugo gave Richelle another thumbs up, “Richelle, you’re awesome!”
After a while, he thought of something else.
“What if they agree?”
Richelle laughed, “If they really accept this price and allocation, then well make even more money for sure!”
Hugo frowned and stared at Richelle, “Richelle, wait a minute. Let me think for a moment…”
Richelle found it amusing that Hugo was the main executor in this event, yet he seemed to have not taken it seriously from the start.
Was it her poor communication?
Or did she really look like a fraud?
Hugo pondered for a while, “So, are you really Denise Munni from United Ventures?”
Richelle blinked, “You can think of it that way…”
Hugo scratched his head, “Richelle, we’ve come this far. Stop being coy. Just tell me the truth. Are you Denise Munni?”
Richelle didn’t nod, ‘You could say that, but you could also say I’m not.”
The ambiguous answer made Hugo even more frustrated.
Richelle wasn’t trying to tease him, but some things were confidential, and she couldn’t tell Hugo too much.
“Hugo, you remember, don’t you? When I first gave you the information, I told you that everything was real – the company, the person.”
That was as far as she could go.
Hugo had also been involved in many strange and confidential organizations Seeing Richelle’s serious expression, he gave up on pressing her further.
“Alright, I understand.”
“SO, if Jayden agrees to the share allocation I propose, will United Ventures inject US$ 6,834,335,000 in capital into the Dunn Group?”
“Yes, if he agrees, you can finalize the deal.. As for the signing ceremony someone else will attend, but the commission will be under your name!”’
