Chapter 564 - 560: Those with ill intentions are bound to fail.
The family of five were ascending in an elevator, and soon the shimmering sea appeared outside the transparent elevator, reflecting the moonlight.
The sea breeze stirred up the waves, one by one rushing towards the silver-white beach. You could faintly hear the sound of the tide hitting the shore.
“Roy Lewis, is this villa yours?”
Roy Lewis took her hand, “No!”
Richelle Dunn exclaimed, only to hear him add.
“It’s ours.”
Before Richelle Dunn could retort, Timothy by her side let out a deep sigh.
Richelle Dunn looked at him confused.
She heard him say to Timmy and Tifanny with a mournful tone.
“Brother and sister, we must start working hard to earn money. All of daddy’s money and belongings belong to mommy. We are, in fact, penniless.”
Richelle Dunn burst out laughing.
Roy Lewis spanked Timothy and playfully scolded him.
“You little rascal, isn’t it natural for a daddy to give what he earns to his wife? You and your brother have earned quite a fortune, haven’t you? How did you become penniless?”
Timmy retorted, “Daddy, the fortune my brother and I earned is earmarked as our sister’s dowry.”
Roy Lewis didn’t like that at all.
“Why should any penniless fellow who wants to marry my precious daughter receive so much dowry? Let him run off! My darling isn’t marrying!”
Even though the conversation was hypothetical, Roy Lewis seemed to take it very seriously and got genuinely angry.
Richelle Dunn found it amusing.
“Mr. Lewis, this is not even a real issue, why are you angry? Besides, money isn’t everything. Someone can also be talented and capable but not yet have had their big break, isn’t that right?”
Roy Lewis shook his head, “That’s not right, my darling isn’t here to pity the poor. We can’t possibly let our little princess suffer like that.”
Richelle Dunn wanted to say something else, but even the usually objective brothers nodded in agreement this time.
“Exactly, we agree with daddy. We can give out the dowry, but the groom can’t be penniless.”
Richelle Dunn was speechless. Although it was a hypothetical situation, she could already foresee the uphill struggle the future son-in-law would face.
“Sister, you hear that? When you find a boyfriend, he can’t be penniless.”
Tifanny nodded with a mischievous smile, “I know!”
Richelle Dunn found her naivety adorable, “Baby, what do you know?”
Tifanny replied with a laugh, “Penniless means having not a single coin in your pocket, right? If he’s really that poor, I can have him pick up an empty bottle, sell it, and get a coin. Problem solved!”
Everyone present knew that Tifanny was joking.
Even so, her father and brothers were still irritated by her words.
It wasn’t until the family reached the living room on the second floor of the villa and sat down that the three men finally loosened their faces.
Richelle Dunn, barely holding back her laughter, pushed Tifanny, “Sister, hurry up and appease your father and brothers!”
Why would Tifanny need to cajole her father and brothers?
She just ran over and hugged each of them, give them each a peck on the cheek, and all their stern faces melted into smiles.
Only when they started smiling, Tifanny then said cheerfully.
“Daddy, brothers, don’t worry. When I find a boyfriend in the future, I’ll measure him against your standards. Those ambitionless and useless men won’t catch my eye.”
Richelle Dunn burst into laughter.
Roy Lewis cuddled up Tifanny even more, kissing her and saying, “That’s right, just take your daddy and brothers as a standard. You can’t go wrong.”
Richelle Dunn thought to herself, there might not even be a suitable candidate in Kindur.
The small controversy over Tifanny’s future boyfriend gradually subsided.
Having hustled around for a whole day, Richelle Dunn was sent by Roy Lewis to soak in a bath. The three children huddled on the ocean-view terrace, chattering about who knows what.
Roy Lewis meanwhile settled down to deal with some urgent matters. And when Richelle Dunn came out from her bath, he pulled her over.
Sitting on the sofa, Richelle Dunn handed him the towel. As he was drying her hair, he asked.
“How did it go?”
Richelle Dunn nodded, “I learned a lot. Without attending this seminar, I wouldn’t know how powerful the Federation’s staff could be.”
Roy Lewis touched her face, “Still angry?”
Richelle Dunn scoffed, “Why should I be angry about this? You know me. If I’m not happy, I will fight back, whoever he is. Especially when justice is on my side, even if I had to go through the whole Federation, I won’t fear a single argument.”
Roy Lewis gave her a thumbs up.
“Our Dr. Dunn is really powerful!”
Richelle Dunn shook her head, “I’m not powerful. He’s just shameless.”
Richelle Dunn then told Roy Lewis the information Sonia Seaton had found.
Roy Lewis listened, his face unreadable.
“Mr. Gregory, promoted by my uncle, is quite capable and resourceful. I didn’t expect him to be such a narrow-minded scoundrel who couldn’t differentiate between public and private.”
Richelle Dunn wasn’t sure what Roy Lewis was planning to do. However, she already had a plan.
“You don’t have to do anything. I think public opinion will naturally do me justice.”
“Public opinion?”
