Chapter 641: 637: Richelle Dunn Standing on the Shoulders of Giants
However, as a mother, even if others say that everything is safe, she still needed to see it for herself to feel reassured.
In the afternoon, Richelle happened to go to the Drug Administration Bureau. After her errands, she asked Delroy to pick up the children from school.
Delroy drove a limited-edition luxury car today, and the children got in the car and sped away quickly.
As it happened, Anderson Kirby and a few other classmates saw the three siblings get in the car. Turning to the other classmates, he said.
“Look, they are different from us! Even if our parents worked their entire lives without eating or drinking, they still couldn’t afford that car.”
“Anderson, it’s not their fault. Their parents are legitimate businessmen and didn’t do anything wrong…”
Anderson snorted, “Not doing anything wrong? They are the evil capitalists, exploiting the common class! How can ordinary kids like us compare to them? Even the principal is biased towards them!”
“Anderson, don’t talk nonsense! Hizkia Kingston…”
Anderson laughed again, “The rich are really powerful, not even allowing others to speak?”
The Lewis family bodyguards who were about to leave work overheard the conversation of these kids and secretly took note of it.
Later, they reported the situation to Delroy.
Delroy guessed that Anderson might not have given up yet, so when he returned home and found the kids were away, he reported the matter to Roy Lewis and Richelle Dunn.
Roy Lewis, as usual, didn’t give his opinion, but Richelle responded to him with just one sentence.
“Delroy, have them keep a close watch for now. Maybe it’s just a few kids gossiping.”
If it wasn’t just gossip and someone was really pushing from behind, a rash move at this time would alert the enemy.
“I see!”
“Also, check the recent financial flows of Hizkia and Anderson’s families. Don’t worry about the other classmates for now.”
Delroy agreed and ordered his subordinates to investigate.
Soon, Delroy provided the financial ins and outs of both families.
Richelle looked through them and handed them to Roy Lewis.
“According to the bank statements, there is no anomaly. Do we need to investigate further or have someone follow them for some time?”
Roy Lewis smiled and said, “Now you are in charge of the family, it’s up to you to decide.”
Asking this question, Richelle believed it was necessary.
After discussing the follow-up work with Delroy on WhatsApp, Richelle turned to Roy Lewis and asked.
“Do you think Delroy will find me indecisive?”
Roy Lewis shook his head, “No, Delroy is quite proud. If you can’t make him respect you, he won’t willingly work for you!”
Richelle sighed, “So, it is because of your influence that he listens to me so quickly. I am really curious how much time and effort you spent after taking over the Lewis Group, using inhuman tactics to make so many people willingly submit to you?”
This was the first time the two had a serious conversation about this matter.
Roy Lewis thought carefully, “Actually, I returned to the Lewis Group early, following my grandfather. Of course, it was not as early as Timmy and Timothy. At that time, I was only watching and listening, not making any decisions until I was over ten years old. So, my authority was slowly built up. Even so, when I fully took over the Lewis Group at the age of twenty, and my grandfather completely let go, less than 10% of people truly respected me. It took about two or three years for the majority to submit to me.”
Richelle was not familiar with the Lewis family and the Lewis Group when she first started designing the blueprint for Lewis Technology Building, let alone knowing that there was already an intersection between her and Roy Lewis.
“So, I’m actually stepping on the shoulders of a giant like you. A lot of things are much simpler for me to handle than when you first took over.”
Richelle was not naive, knowing that the smoothness of her work now relied on the foundation and prestige that Roy Lewis built over the years.
And Timmy and Timothy were just like her.
“Because I understand, I feel guilty every time you praise me for being capable!”
Roy Lewis smiled and pinched her face, “Why feel guilty? Do you want to separate yourself from me?”
They laughed and joked for a while before Richelle suddenly said seriously.
“Actually, I’ve thought about it. It’s possible that these two are not necessarily instigated by anyone.”
Roy Lewis didn’t give his opinion, just asking.
“Why do you suddenly think so?”
Richelle sighed, “The good and evil in people are just a matter of thought. One should not underestimate one’s kindness or evil.”
Roy Lewis nodded, “So you still want Delroy to make the arrangements?”
Richelle replied honestly, “The safety of the children cannot be neglected.. Without solid evidence, just based on my subjective judgment that it is the subjective malice of the two families of Wang and Zhou, we might miss the real mastermind, which would put the children in more danger, wouldn’t it?”
