Chapter 272 - 268: Richelie Dunn is my future daughter - in - law!
Richelle Dunn gasped, “Big Brother, didn’t you say Master was invited by the city leaders to introduce the project progress? How come she’s gone now?”
“Yeah, but as you know, apart from the GPS on her phone, there’s also a locator in her bag. Now, her phone is turned off, and we can’t find her locator either. Master is always confused in this aspect, so we embedded her locator in the innermost part of her bag. The fact that we can’t find it now suggests that it might have been deliberately destroyed.”
Richelle furrowed her brows, glanced at the children, and turned to Roy Lewis.
“Roy, you take the kids home first. I have something to discuss with my senior brother.”
However, Roy Lewis had already heard about Sonia Seaton’s disappearance from Richelle’s words, so he looked worried. He handed Tifanny to Nathan Caroule, then instructed him.
“You take the three kids home and arrange some security as soon as possible. Change your flight for tomorrow, and wait until Richelle and I have dealt with things here before leaving.”
Nathan heard Richelle’s words as well, so he didn’t ask any questions. After Roy and Richelle said goodbye to the children, he took them back to Richelle’s house.
Richelle waited until the kids were far away before speaking to her senior brother on the phone.
“Don’t worry for now, I happen to have a friend here who might be able to help. You guys keep doing what you’re doing, and I’ll contact you if necessary. Also, remember to take good care of the encrypted data and experimental results in the lab.”
Although Richelle was a junior sister, compared to her senior brothers and sisters who were always buried in work in the lab, she was obviously more capable of dealing with everything calmly.
Roy felt relieved in his heart.
Because Richelle had already considered him as a reliable and dependable partner in times of crisis.
After instructing her senior brother in an orderly manner, Richelle hung up the phone and looked up at Roy.
“Roy, I need your help. I might even need your uncle’s help.”
If it were something else, Richelle wouldn’t ask for Roy’s help so confidently.
But Master was like a second parent to her and the children. If something happened to Master, she would spend the rest of her life living with regret.
So she didn’t care what Roy thought of her or whether she could return the favor, she just wanted to save her master first and foremost.
Roy put his arm around her shoulders and, unexpectedly, felt her body trembling slightly.
His heart ached, and he lowered his head, gently rubbing her hair with his chin.
“Don’t worry, Master Seaton will be fine. My uncle and I will do everything we can.”
As Roy comforted her, he took out his phone and dialed a number.
“Check the last location trajectory of Master Seaton’s phone for me. Also, send me a bulletproof car with a few special agents. I’ll send the location.”
“Who am I? ROY LEWIS.”
Meanwhile, Richelle, even though her body was trembling, quickly operated her phone with her head down.
Soon, she looked up at Roy and said, “I just sent you the data from my master’s phone and the locator in her bag.”
Roy looked at her in surprise, “How did you…?”
In his mind, the previous speculation about Margareth’s identity suddenly flashed through. Could it be that she really is Margareth?
Richelle seemed not to understand his doubt, “I have the location of my Master’s phone and the locator. The data is also connected to me here.”
Roy looked at her half-believing and half-doubting, but soon realized that now was not the time to pursue this.
“You just said your master went to see the city leaders?”
Richelle nodded, “Obviously, it was a trick. Because the car that picked up my master was heading for the highway from the beginning.”
Roy frowned, “Didn’t Master Seaton have any sense of vigilance?”
Richelle sighed, “She’s very clueless in her daily life. Without GPS, she can get lost after turning two streets from the lab when driving.”
Roy couldn’t help questioning, “Then how could you let her go out alone?”
“Master should have had an assistant with her. I guess they were knocked out as soon as they got in the car.”
The only possibility Richelle could think of was this.
Roy didn’t ask any more questions and picked up the phone to dial another number.
“Mr. Victor, this is Roy Lewis from the East Asia Federation. I heard that you’re receiving some foreign guests today and discussing investment matters?”
“Mr. Lewis? Are you asking about this because you’re interested in a related project?”
Apparently, the city leaders meeting with foreign guests was true, but it was unclear whether the other party used this as a cover to kidnap Sonia Seaton.
“Is this a public or private schedule?”
“Mr. Lewis, I’m not at liberty to say.”
The implication was that it was a private schedule.
“Mr. Victor, here’s the situation: Master Seaton received a call this afternoon saying that the city leaders wanted her to come over and introduce the project progress. Is that true?”
Richelle was a bit puzzled as she listened to Roy talking to Victor. How could a businessman like him be so familiar with South Asian officials?
She had originally thought that he would need to seek help from his uncle, then use his uncle’s name to start the investigation and subsequent work.
But now, he was making one call after another, seemingly directly ordering others to do things.
And now, he seemed to be chatting with Mr. Victor, who was probably the secretary of the mayor or something similar?
And it seemed that Victor had obediently provided him with the information he wanted.
Was Roy’s power really that great?
If they were in Kindur or even within the East Asia Federation, she wouldn’t doubt his ability to have connections everywhere.
After all, the Lewis have been standing tall as the number one family in East Asia for almost a hundred years.
But this was South Asia!
Although South Asia could be considered a friendly nation to East Asia, it was not part of the Federation’s territory after all.
As Richelle analyzed these seemingly strange but actually reasonable facts, she heard Roy say to the other party.
“Of course it’s related. She’s my future mother-in-law!”
Richelle, who had been multitasking, suddenly raised her head and stared at him when she heard this sentence.
Roy seemed to feel her burning gaze, lightly patted her head, and said to the person on the other end of the phone.
“She doesn’t have any kids, but she has a precious disciple named Richelle Dunn. Do you know her?”
“Oh, as long as you know her. Richelle Dunn is my future wife!”
Richelle, who had been listening, was speechless. But since he was doing important work, she didn’t want to interrupt him.
But she felt a little displeased. She hadn’t forgiven him yet, so how had she become his future wife?
Richelle grew more resentful as she thought about it, so she stretched out her hand and pinched his waist hard!
