Triple Blessings: Mr. Fu’s Passionate Pursuit

Chapter 683: Chapter 679: Start Luring the Snake Out of Hiding

By noon, the old man was able to remove his oxygen and utter a few slow, coherent words.

Richelle accompanied him as he was transferred from ICU to the VIP ward. When he fell asleep, she prepared to leave.

Noises resounded from outside, and Richelle hastily got up and walked out.

She found Aldo and Alexander Lewis being cornered at the elevator by the hospital security, shouting loudly and abusively.

“Damn it, do you know this is the Lewis family’s hospital! Not letting me in? Are you tired of your lives? Don’t you want to keep your jobs?”

Richelle walked over and said, “Alexander Lewis, I think you’ve got something wrong. This hospital belongs to The Greens as a gift to Roy. At most, it belongs to my three children and has nothing to do with anyone in the Lewis family!”

Alexander saw Richelle, immediately pointing and swearing at her like a madman.

“Richelle, you bitch! You put my dad behind bars, stripped me of my inheritance, I’ll kill you!”

Richelle scoffed and retorted, “Alexander, you ungrateful wretch, have you no shame? Not only did you squander all the effort Roy and the old man poured into you, but you also have the audacity to blame others for your predicament?”

Alexander burst out laughing, “What effort? The only thing they did was scheme to get rid of me sooner.”

Richelle realized that he might be delusional.

“Anyway, your past offenses against me are forgotten. But making grandpa so upset this time, you won’t get away lightly,” she declared.

She snapped her fingers, gesturing the two bodyguards – Delroy and another – who were stood nearby to come forward.

“Delroy, find a place and teach him a lesson.”

Delroy nodded, then leaned in and whispered to her, “What about Mr. Lewis…”

Richelle hadn’t spotted Aldo amidst the commotion. The noisy culprit had been Alexander all along.

“Chuck him outside!”

After issuing the order, she turned and left.

In the background, Alexander could be heard swearing—the rest of his cuss words muffled as he was gagged and dragged into the elevator.

Richelle, who was originally in good spirits, found her head throbbing after dealing with Alexander. She pinched her brows, kept the housekeeper informed of the situation, and instructed the driver to take her home.

Upon reaching home, she met Roy once more waiting for her in the hallway.

He pulled her into an apologetic embrace.

Despite her fatigue, Richelle knew Roy was probably feeling even more worn out, filled with guilt and remorse.

“Stop it. I instructed Delroy to give him a good scare. He should be quiet for a while.”

“Perhaps,” Roy said, looking serious.

Richelle touched his face, “Don’t blame yourself. If he continues like this, he’ll only get himself into more trouble. When you’re free, you can give him a stern talk.”

Roy was like a beast chained in iron, despite his strength and ability, he could only watch as his loved ones were mistreated.

It was a painful experience for him.

Yet he had to endure it, hoping they could enjoy a few years of peace.

Therefore, he no longer mentioned Alexander, knowing full well that only when he could regain freedom would Aldo and Alexander finally quieten down.

“Richelle, how many times has Theo proposed the idea of Dunn Industries opening branch offices?”

She thought for a moment. “Three times. He brings it up at every meeting. He’s really persistent.”

“Hmm, when is the next meeting?”

“This Friday. What, do you want me to attend?”

Roy nodded. “Yes, this time, both you and Ms. Munni should vote in favor.”

Richelle was surprised. “But if this motion passes, Dunn Group will divest a large portion of its money, leading to many crises that Denise and I cannot control…”

Roy grabbed her hand, interrupting her.

“That won’t happen; I will resolve all the issues before the implementation starts.”

Richelle’s eyes widened, and she instantly understood his plot.

“You want to use this as bait to lure Mason Lilliput and his group in?”

Roy gave her a thumbs-up, praising her insight.

“Exactly, that’s my intention!”

However, Richelle furrowed her brows. Lately, the information she had been gathering had come in at a very slow pace. She worried that her current resources were insufficient for a full-blown sting operation.

Could it be that Roy already had other channels for intel?

If that was the case, it would be great news, but Richelle was worried that Roy was forcing the issue.

“Are all the conditions in place?”

Although she and Roy knew each other’s true identities, they were constrained by their professional ethics and kept mum about it.

Roy shook his head. “Not yet, but there hasn’t been any major action lately, and I suspect they might be trying to test our patience. Therefore, maybe you and Ms. Munni should cave in to the pressure from United Ventures and vote in favor, just to see their reaction.”
