Triple Blessings: Mr. Fu's Passionate Pursuit

And this challenge was unlike any she had previously encountered.

It was a problem with no standard answers, but she felt she already had the answer in her heart.

However, it was not easy for her to state that answer outright.

The challenges lying before her were like mountains she had to climb first, only then could she take her answer to the peaceful shore of happiness.

So, to solve these challenges first, she waited until Timothy and Tiffany were asleep, then got back online and sent more transaction data about The Thompsons, which she had gathered from overseas in the past few days, to her anonymous benefactor.

Honestly, when she received these materials and read through them carefully, she felt a cold chill in her hands and back.

She recalled Hugo Camrey\'s warning not to provoke The Thompsons.

Even someone as powerful as Roy Lewis had to carefully weigh the pros and cons before tangling with The Thompsons.

However, it seemed that the grudges between Roy Lewis and The Thompsons had been settled.

She wondered what grudges and grievances this anonymous benefactor held against The Thompsons. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Nonetheless, based on the suspicions of illegal stock market manipulation linked to the Dunn Group last time, this benefactor was likely a senior official from the Federation\'s confidential department.

Otherwise, provoking The Thompsons, who essentially dominated transactions worldwide, would be a deadly action!

Richelle herself, truthfully, was feeling a little regretful.

After all, she wasn\'t some righteousness police, she was a mom to three kids, and even if she was not afraid of death, she couldn\'t just abandon her children.

For them, she couldn\'t let herself get hurt.

"My benefactor, honestly, I\'m kind of regretting this deal with you."

Richelle didn\'t have any intentions to demand more or back out suddenly, she was merely expressing her inner feelings.

She didn\'t expect him to listen, after all, she was the one who initiated this voluntary cooperation, who could she blame?

And indeed, she had received a lot of confidential materials about The Dunning Group from him that she couldn\'t have accessed through any other means.

However, around eleven o\'clock, as she was preparing to log off and go to sleep, the benefactor sent a few words back.

"I can offer you a bit more money."

Richelle was not the kind of person who would take advantage of difficulties to get more, and more importantly, she wanted to maintain her relationship with the anonymous benefactor.

Not because she wanted to cooperate with him on anything in particular, but she felt his mysterious background could be very helpful one day.

"No need, ensuring my safety will be enough."

He didn\'t respond to her request.

"Do you think there are many people who can find you nowadays?"

But Richelle didn\'t need these fancy-sounding compliments, she needed more practical protection and guarantees.

"Benefactor, no need for extra compensation, but I hope to receive immunity and life protection from your government!"

Of course, these referred to the potential dangers she might face if exposed.

For now, the possibility of exposure was extremely low, but having an immunity token in hand could always bring some peace of mind.

The benefactor was quiet for a long time, she wasn\'t sure if he was asking for authorization from his superiors or just pretending to be offline.

Just as Richelle was about to log off and shut down, the benefactor sent a simple but heavy promise.

"Deal!"

Richelle couldn\'t help but clench her fists and cheer quietly, "Yes!".

...

Richelle had lots of things to deal with, so she resorted to giving Roy Lewis the cold shoulder.

In any case, she was now trying to avoid being alone with him, and was trying not to start any conversations with him voluntarily.

Whether it was about his illness or the children, unless absolutely necessary, she simply would not mention it.

She knew that such avoidance was unfair to Roy Lewis.

But what she understood even more clearly was that, if she were to abruptly respond to Roy Lewis now, whether it would be rejection or acceptance, it would actually be even more unfair to him!

In her view, her relationship with him could only be considered as an ordinary friendship at the moment, and preserving her own privacy was her right.

But if their relationship progressed, and she continued to hide this massive secret, not to mention the high level of difficulty, she could not walk alongside him with such a massive burden of guilt from a moral point of view.

Therefore, she could only do her best to damage the Dunn Group as much as possible, and find the evidence from that year that could prove the truth and prove her innocence, and then, she could walk forward with Roy Lewis openly and uprightly.

Roy Lewis was not a fool, he naturally knew that she was avoiding him, but, he had no solution whatsoever.

Perhaps, even if he had a solution, he would not want to pressurize her.

In his view, he had plenty of time with Richelle Dunn.

He was willing to give her enough time to handle her own affairs, and also give her enough time to believe in him, and trust him.

After all, he was always her patient, and the affection of the few children still existed, even if Richelle Dunn ignored him, she would always be on time with his acupuncture, and dinner was always joyously consumed by the whole family.

The necessary exchanges would still occur.

Just that the ambiguously romantic atmosphere that had been simmering between them for a while, all of a sudden, vanished completely.

Fortunately, Roy Lewis had been extremely busy lately, and did not have too much time to be immersed in their love affair.

That day, as usual, Richelle Dunn was doing acupuncture for him. Before he fell asleep, he informed her,

"Tonight, Nathan and I are going to my uncle\'s house for dinner. Why don\'t Timmy just sleep with Tifanny and Timothy at your place."

Richelle Dunn gave a few nods without expression on her face, "Alright!"

Roy Lewis was a bit helpless. Lately, Richelle Dunn\'s way of speaking had all changed into this minimalistic style, leaving him without any reason to start a conversation.

And her robotic-like actions and formal demeanor made Roy Lewis think he had walked into a blind person\'s massage parlor.

He made a gesture to his son who was sitting next to him reading a book, signaling his son to help him out.

Naturally, Timmy, Timothy, and Tifanny also felt the unusual atmosphere between their parents. They were worried, but their hearts were inclined more towards their mom.

Just like how Roy Lewis did not want to pressure Richelle Dunn, Timmy did not want to put too much pressure on his mom either.

After all, their silly dad had a tough hide and could withstand some pranks.

So, he pretended not to understand his dad\'s implying and continued reading his book.

If Roy Lewis knew that his position in his son\'s heart was so low, he would probably cry out.

At this point, his call for help failed, so he had no choice but to fend for himself.

"I\'ll have Uncle Axel instruct the chef to prepare some snacks to send over tonight, so you can focus on writing your thesis."

Lately, Richelle Dunn and Mrs. Walker barely made any snacks anymore, because, it seemed as if the Lewis family\'s chef had become addicted to making snacks. One after another new variety, whether it was afternoon tea or late night snacks, the kids had gained weight from eating so much.

"Alright, why don\'t you have the chef make some stuffed buns, and I\'ll just make some porridge for breakfast tomorrow morning."

Richelle Dunn did not hold back, mainly because she had indeed been busy lately and could use some more time to catch up on sleep!

Roy Lewis didn\'t expect her to agree so readily, he thought probably she indeed was really tired lately.

"Or, let the chef prepare dinner as well?"

The face that Richelle Dunn had been holding up all morning finally cracked, and she laughed out aloud.

"Might as well have your family\'s chef come work at my place!"

Richelle Dunn was joking, but, to her surprise, Roy Lewis took it seriously and nodded his head earnestly.

"That would work, as long as you agree, I\'m up for it!"
