Chapter 177 - 173: Creating a World for Daddy and
Translator: 549690339
That night, Richelle Dunn went online.
Today was the deadline she had promised for her mysterious benefactor.
As soon as she logged in, she sent a message to him directly.
■■United Ventures’ purpose is, on one hand, to fulfill an old friend’s wish. On the other hand, it’s indeed about making investments to earn money from value!”
The mysterious financier replied quickly, “Old friend? Who?
Roy Lewis stared at the message, a faint worry tugging at her heart.
This financier’s focus seemed a little strange?
“Sorry, this is not within the scope of information provided.” Roy replied. But the mysterious benefactor seemed very curious, “Terms!
However, no matter what the financier offered, Richelle would not divulge this information.
“Sorry, that’s irrelevant and priceless.” Richelle replied.
Mr. Mysterious remained silent for a long time. Richelle didn’t rush him and busied herself with other matters on another laptop.
About half an hour later, Mr. Mysterious sent an email to Richelle.
The email was about Harris Dunn’s career history and milestones over the years. It was a full page of A4 paper filled with detailed information.
After carefully reading Harris Dunn’s career history, Richelle couldn’t help but
gasp.
Clearly, Hugo Camrey’s intuition had been accurate.
This Harris Dunn was not simple at all.
It seemed that he hadn’t fully established himself in the Dunn Group yet. However, it was more likely that he was hiding his true strength, waiting to strike heavily after assessing all hostile or friendly forces.
At this point, Richelle couldn’t help but start considering if she really should join forces with her mysterious benefactor against the Dunns.
However, she quickly dismissed the possibility.
This benefactor obviously wasn’t in a position to confront Dunn Group openly.
Everything came at a price.
For Mr. Mysterious, the Dunn Group was not worth the self-exposure to confront.
And from the top-secret information he had recently provided, he probably only needed to slightly lift a finger to deal with the Dunn Group.
But then she appeared just when he wanted to move his finger.
So now, he didn’t even have to lift a finger!
“No second thoughts on the terms I proposed just now?” Mr. Mysterious persisted, still fixated on the identity of the old friend.
Richelle responded solemnly, “Sorry, no comment!
With that, Mr. Mysterious finally quieted down. He didn’t send any further interrogating messages until Richelle went offline to sleep.
The next day, as usual, Richelle hurried to the Lewis residence. After handing Uncle Axel the food container with the breakfast for the father-son duo, she smiled at Roy Lewis and Timmy.
“Mrs. Walker went early this morning to buy a few pork hocks. Tonight, I promise you both will get to eat braised pork.”
Yesterday, Richelle had promised to cook braised pork for the father and son. However, Mrs. Walker said the nearby supermarket didn’t have any fresh pork hocks. Without good ingredients, Richelle couldn’t do anything.
Upon hearing this, Timmy’s eyes lit up. “Cook them all, and if we can’t finish, my daddy and I will take the leftovers home.”
Richelle chuckled. This wasn’t raising a son, but rather, a little food thief.
She tapped the little guy’s head, “You and your daddy are eating at my place every day now. When will you eat the leftovers? Late-night snack?”
Richelie’s question was meant for Timmy.
However, Roy Lewis, who was sitting on the sofa, unexpectedly nodded. “Sounds like a good idea. We can have braised pork noodles!”
Richelle couldn’t help but feel defeated by the father and son. “Alright, I’ll tell Mrs. Walker now to buy a few more, or else your siblings will cry if you take all the leftovers.”
Timmy knew how much his siblings loved braised pork, so he quickly nodded.
“Right, tell Mrs. Walker to buy a few more.”
Roy Lewis, however, didn’t know. “Do Timmy and Tifanny also like braised pork?”
Richelle nodded, “Yes, just like their lifeblood.”
The reason being whenever there was braised pork, Timothy and Tifanny would stop eating anything else and just munch on the delicious pork hock.
Richelle was afraid they would overeat and have indigestion, so she usually cooked limited quantities.
“Just like you, if there’s braised pork in the fridge, and I ask them what they want for breakfast, they’d say braised pork noodles a hundred percent.”
Richelle added.
Roy Lewis couldn’t help but smile. “I didn’t expect Timmy and Tifanny’s tastes
to be so similar to mine.”
Richelle only realized at that moment, “You like it too?” Roy nodded, “Yes, I really like it when it’s well-prepared! Our home’s old chef used to make it incredibly delicious, but he has passed away, and I haven’t had tasty braised pork since.”
Now Richelle understood that the children were all following in their father’s footsteps when it came to loving braised pork.
“Mr. Lewis, now I feel great pressure.”
If you asked a chef what the most challenging dish to cook was,
they would tell you it’s the taste of memories.
Richelle did not believe she could recreate Roy Lewis’ memory of braised pork. Because in that memory, besides the taste, there was also the memory of old friends and past events.
Roy Lewis shook his head with a smile, “There’s no need for pressure. I believe yours won’t be a surpass, but a unique creation.”p>
Richelle only thought that Roy Lewis was flattering her, but she didn’t know that in his heart, all the dishes she made already had a unique taste assigned to her by him.
This unique taste was, to this day, incomparable in Roy Lewis’ opinion, and probably unsurpassable in the future.
Watching his father’s unique display of affection, Timmy’s eyes formed a curve as he gave a big thumbs up.
To create a moment for Roy Lewis and Richelle, he quickly left her embrace, yelling, “I’m going to eat breakfast now,” and ran towards the dining room. One moment, Richelle was comfortably laughing and chatting with Roy Lewis, but as soon as her son left, she felt awkward all over.
If she didn’t misunderstand, yesterday, Roy Lewis probably wanted to clarify something.
But how could she focus on that now?
Her relationship with Roy Lewis was already complicated enough.
If other relationships were added, she couldn’t guarantee she could stay rational amidst the complexity.
Most importantly, she had only just begun deploying everything against the Dunn Group. How could she have the energy to focus on other distractions?
-Mr. Lewis, are the Lewis Group and the Dunn Group really going to terminate all cooperations?” In her anxiety, Richelle asked a rather stupid question.
Roy Lewis was a bit surprised, “You also follow financial news?” Richelle’s heart skipped a beat. However, she remained composed on the surface.
“Oh, I heard some gossip while doing acupuncture for Mrs. Camrey at the hospital yesterday.”
In fact, from Richelle’s standpoint, she should not inquire about the Lewis Group’s affairs.
Therefore, she regretted her impulsive question terribly now.
Fortunately, Roy Lewis didn’t think her question was out of line and even explained seriously.
“Before yesterday, I had always been concerned about Timmy’s feelings. But he and I are now completely disappointed in the Dunn Group.”
His implication was clear – he had already placed the Dunn Group in a hostile position!
