Chapter 241 - 241: 237: Use Roy Lewis’s Power to Eliminate Richelle Dunn!
Richelle let out a scornful laugh, her eyes filled with ruthless hatred.
“So, you’re afraid, Dundun!”
Theo instantly blanched at the mention of this nickname.
Because Theo was affectionately called Dundun by his family when he was a child. After his strong objections, everybody stopped using it. However, only the Dunns were privy to this nickname.
Jayden Dunn initially didn’t entirely believe the woman standing on the stage was Richelle. But from the moment she took out her necklace to her mentioning his son’s nickname, his heart didn’t just waver in disbelief, but shuddered and trembled in fear from the depths!
This fear and terror may not stem from the woman on the stage who bears a striking resemblance to his niece, but rather, he was thoroughly consumed with fear, as if his past sins were rebounding on him.
He suppressed the panic in his heart and, seizing the opportunity while his son was contending with the woman on stage, observed her closely.
Lordon’s local accent is very distinct, and the woman’s accent indeed matched.
As for her features, they indeed looked identical to Richelle.
But Richelle was dead, she had died a few years ago!
“Madam, I demand you apologize to us immediately. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being impolite. When the police arrives, it won’t be as simple as just apologizing.”
Jayden didn’t really want to exacerbate the situation. Moreover, in front of so many partners and subordinates, he had to maintain his facade of feigned benevolence and propriety.
Hence, he threatened her softly, hoping to scare the woman away.
Deep down, no one understood better than him that every incident related to Richelle could not withstand scrutiny and investigation.
Richelle was indeed hoping he would call the police. However, she also understood that there were too many disgusting things in reality that she could not predict. So, her purpose today was not really intended to involve the police.
Nevertheless, she was not stupid enough to let Jayden know about it. Therefore, she fixed Jayden with a piercing look.
“Uncle, I indeed believe our family affairs are too complicated; it would be more appropriate to leave it to the police.”
Jayden glared back at her fiercely, his eyes filled with ferocity.
“Madam, are you sure? I will give you five minutes to think it through! After that, it won’t be as simple as just walking away!”
Their gazes clashed in the air. A harsh, icy smile never left Richelle’s face, though it was a far cry from being kind. It was a cold, ruthless smile, enough to send chills down one’s spine.
However, what she said next took both Jayden and his son, Theo, by surprise.
“Dear Uncle, many thanks, thank you for giving me a way out!”
After addressing these words to Jayden, Richelle turned to the guests beneath the stage, offered a fist-and-palm salute, and said apologetically.
“I apologize for interrupting your meal. I, Richelle, will repay all of you for this disruption when the opportunity presents!”
Having said that, Richelle smiled again at Theo.
“Dear brother, the ghost your beloved sister Kiara saw, was me!”
Her laughter was like a stab of ice, giving Theo the shivers!
Despite the woman clearly backing down, her words dropped like a bombshell into the hearts of Jayden and Theo.
The aftermath of her words would disturb and might even potentially ruin their peaceful life for a long time to come.
Theo was gaping at her as if he had seen a ghost!
Richelle, on the stage, turned around and descend from the stage and, finally, turned back and made a gun-aiming gesture with her fingers at Jayden and Theo, a gesture of provocation and threat, clear as day!
Then, she and Hugo Camrey, surrounded by several bodyguards, leisurely departed from the hotel.
In truth, today was perhaps not the best time for Richelle to appear. But when she learned that the Dunns saw her nothing more than a potential surrogate for Kiara, she couldn’t remain patient!
Furthermore, with her current power, it was impossible to let the Dunns drop their guard and secures a sure-win.
But she didn’t want to hide in the shadows anymore, nor did she want her children to endure suffering along with her!
Therefore, even if it might not have been the best time, she nonetheless stepped out and directly declared war on the Dunns!
After she left, the guests at the reception seemed like a disturbed nest, buzzing with hushed conversations.
Neither Jayden nor Theo had the leisure to appease the guests. After all, Megan Linwood was still lying unconscious on the couch. Moreover, concerning the “Richelle” who just left, they had a stack of matters to inquire about and resolve.
The father and son then used the excuse of taking Megan to the hospital and left the remaining banquet affairs to their secretaries and assistants. Consequently, both left together to take Megan to the hospital.
Theo never completely believed the woman who showed up was the real Richelle. After all, a few years ago, after the police found them, he had identified the body with Jayden and personally attended her cremation.
“Dad, the one we just saw, do you think she was really Richelle Dunn?”
Jayden Dunn frowned, “She looked similar indeed, but like you said, with today’s advances in plastic surgery, it wouldn’t be difficult to make an identical copy.”
Back in the day, at Lordon, about half of the scions from prominent families were greatly interested in Richelle, simply because she possessed a deadly, alluring beauty that could potentially topple a kingdom.
It wouldn’t be surprising if someone in Lordon used her as a model for plastic surgery.
Harris Dunn felt a little more settled and began analyzing the situation.
“Dad, what do you think is her purpose for doing this?”
Jayden Dunn had no idea.
Then he suddenly remembered something.
“Theo, I suddenly remembered that James Lewis once mentioned that Roy Lewis’s doctor was also called Richelle Dunn!”
Harris Dunn was taken aback, “What a coincidence! Is it the same person?”
Jayden Dunn shook his head, “I don’t know.”
Father and son looked at each other, “Dad, she just said, the ghost Kiara saw, was her.”
Both father and son felt a chill down their spines when they brought this up.
By this time, Harris Dunn had completely calmed down, and his mind was working clearly as he analyzed the situation.
“So even if she is not the real Richelle Dunn, she clearly came here with some purpose.”
What they had done to Richelle Dunn was clearly known to them.
It was precisely because they had guilty consciences that Kiara Dunn was scared to madness, and Megan Linwood fainted at the sight of Richelle Dunn’s face!
Harris looked morose as he thought it over and then asked Jayden Dunn.
“Dad, is there a way to confirm with James Lewis whether the personal doctor of Roy Lewis is the same person as the Richelle Dunn we saw today?”
Jayden Dunn was unclear about his son’s intentions. He said, “Could it be just a coincidence that they share the same name? I remember James Lewis mentioning that this Richelle Dunn came from South Asia and is a skilled doctor, quite famous in the international medical fraternity.”
“No matter what, we have to try our luck!” Harris Dunn looked desperate. “Dad, contact James Lewis right away. The sooner this matter is resolved, the better!”
Jayden Dunn still didn’t understand, “I’m not sure…”
Harris Dunn didn’t explain further, he said,
“Dad, whether she is the real Richelle Dunn or not, she is a great threat to us and even a terrifying time bomb. If this person today is indeed Roy Lewis’s doctor, then we can get her eliminated by leveraging Roy Lewis!”
Meanwhile, in another car heading to the outskirts of Lordon, Richelle Dunn and Hugo Camrey were sitting in the back seat.
“Richelle, why didn’t you simply call the police earlier? They could have opened a case!”
Hugo Camrey had been standing on the stage all along. Although Richelle didn’t want him to reveal his identity in front of Jayden Dunn and his son, he insisted on doing so anyway, and she couldn’t stop him.
Richelle Dunn slumped back in her seat, seemingly drained.
“They run Lordon; how do you think those reports of my death years ago came about?”
The Dunn’s place in Lordon is akin to the Lewis’ position in Kindur, especially a few years ago, their words were law.
Hugo Camrey’s eyes widened, “Bloody hell, the Dunns deserve to be crucified a thousand times over!”
A bitter smile flickered at the corners of Richelle Dunn’s lips, her eyes filled with cold, brutal laughter.
“That’s why I’m prepared for a long battle with them. Even if it takes a long time, I will make sure they’re gone!”
Hugo pondered about their upcoming journey, “Then you’re planning to hand the medical record to the police?”
Richelle Dunn shook her head, “That’s a matter for later… well cross that bridge when we get there.”
Richelle had suffered at the hands of the Lordon Police in the past and therefore didn’t trust them.
Hugo was even more confused, “Then why did you rush to get this medical record?”
Richelle rubbed her throbbing temples and sighed deeply.
“I plan to, come clean with Roy Lewis!”
