Chapter 803 - 799: Mastering the Wealth Code
Richelle was hesitating whether to go back or not when Roy Lewis sent another message.
“Not done yet?”
Richelle directly made a video call back.
In the screen, Roy Lewis appeared with a worried face.
“Richelle, are you alright?”
Richelle was puzzled, “I’m fine, what’s wrong?”
Roy Lewis examined her carefully again, “Those rumors on the internet, have you seen them?”
Richelle nodded.
“The one about me callously causing harm to people?”
Roy Lewis hummed, “I asked Nathan to look into it. The media said they reposted it from foreign websites. We’ll follow up later. The ID should be from South Asia.”
Originally, Richelle didn’t care about these things.
When Denise Munni told her about it, she just listened and moved on.
Internet sensations don’t last long.
She isn’t a celebrity and doesn’t rely on online heat to make money, so these rumors don’t really affect her very much.
“A South Asian ID? I thought it was someone with the last name Long or the last name Yu, or even something Aldo Lewis and his people were up to.”
Roy Lewis said, “At first, I thought so too. So, I wanted Nathan to handle it directly without disturbing you. I didn’t want you to be bothered by these things. But since the ID is from South Asia, you need to be extra careful. Maybe they’ll make more moves later.”
Richelle’s expression grew serious.
“I suspect that someone tampered with things at the hospital, causing Dylan Collins’ problem. But I looked at the surveillance footage this morning and saw nothing unusual.”
“You asked Delroy to send bodyguards over because you had some doubts too, right?”
Richelle nodded her head.
“I suspected that Dylan Collins’ situation was man-made, but I thought the domestic public opinion would be intentionally stirred up by the Longs and the others after receiving news from South Asia.”
“I never thought that from the beginning, this might have been a well-planned series of events.”
Roy Lewis looked at her thoughtfully, “So you went back to the lab in the afternoon?”
Richelle knew she couldn’t hide anything from him.
“Yes, I thought it was strange. My master is not a lazy person. But the fact that she wants to retire seems abnormal to me.”
“I went to the lab to inquire about my master’s retirement, and as a result, I found out there are at least three factions in the lab.”
There’s Andrew’s group, the troublemakers.
There’s Bailes’ group, the down-to-earth group.
And the third faction, the fence-sitters who side with whoever looks more powerful.
Roy Lewis wasn’t surprised.
“Where there are people, there is conflict. Where there are interests, there is fighting. Although there aren’t many people in the lab, the interests involved are huge.”
“So, it’s a tempting target. Not only do people inside the lab covet it, but there are also many people eying it from the outside!”
Richelle hadn’t thought about what Roy Lewis said.
“You mean, what I see and suspect now might not be the real mastermind?”
Roy Lewis nodded.
“Of course, think about it. If the lab were controlled by a pharmaceutical company, wouldn’t that be like having the password to wealth?”
Richelle frowned slightly.
“It’s not like that. Each lab has a core person. My master is the core person. If she gives up and doesn’t manage it anymore, the lab will be worthless.”
