Chapter 311 - 311: 307: It is Timothy and Tifanny being capable, not me being biased.
“No way! Even if Dr. Dunn didn’t have anyone backing her up, I wouldn’t dare bully her! No matter how powerful I am, I can’t compete with Dr. Dunn, who has needles and scalpels in her hands!”
Richelle Dunn chuckled, “It seems so!”
The old man saw the two young people teasing each other comfortably and couldn’t help but show a smile on his face.
To be honest, the old man understood Roy Lewis’s character.
The possibility of him bullying Richelle Dunn was close to zero.
Giving Richelle Dunn this agreement was not so much to make her tougher in front of Roy Lewis, but to give her a status and confidence in front of the entire Lewis family.
The Lewis family members were not fools, at least not in matters related to financial interests.
Richelle Dunn had three children, and their combined shares were no small amount.
Richelle quickly but carefully flipped through the pages of the agreement and looked up to confirm with the old man.
“Old man, are you sure the share ratio is correct? Did you mistakenly give the shares meant for two children to one child?”
Although Richelle knew that the chances of making such a mistake were low, she still hoped that the old man would consider it carefully.
After all, this 2% stake in Lewis Group was worth a lot of money.
For two children, it would be 4%, a sum that most people couldn’t earn in their entire lives.
“Richelle, it’s correct! Timmy also gets 2%, and this is the usual practice in our family. The Lewis family has always rewarded the capable ones more, and as for those descendants who haven’t achieved much, it’s enough to give them just enough to survive. For those who have potential and can be cultivated, they are given more because, after all, the family’s industry and reputation will still rely on these younger generations to maintain and even flourish.”
“Both Timothy, Tiffany, and Timmy are good kids in my eyes and are among the descendants to be cultivated!”
Richelle Dunn had no idea that the Lewis family had such flexible rules. She had always thought that families like the Lewis were conservative and rigid in both their thinking and rules.
But now it seemed that she had been shallow and ignorant.
How could such a large family business as the Lewis family be maintained for a hundred years if they were conservatively set in their ways!
However, despite that, Richelle was still very cautious. After all, this was related to her children’s future life paths.
She raised her eyes and looked at Roy Lewis with a probing glance.
Roy Lewis didn’t know if he understood her, but he nodded and replied,
“Yes, my grandfather gave me 2% too!”
Richelle clicked her tongue, “I didn’t ask how much you got. What I meant is, is this okay? Will you and the old man be criticized in the Lewis family because of this agreement?”
Timothy and Tiffany were Lewis family children, so Richelle wouldn’t be coy about what they deserved. But their share percentages were obviously quite high.
She didn’t want to cause trouble for Roy Lewis because of this.
Before Roy Lewis could answer, the old man spoke up first.
“What criticism? Every head of the family has the right to cultivate several talented younger generations as potential successors. These shares are early-stage investments for the future development of the Lewis family, so Richelle, you don’t need to feel undeserving. This is because of your children’s hard work and capability, not because I favor them.”
Richelle could see more and more that Roy Lewis’s propensity to protect and defend his children had actually been inherited from the old man.
Even though it was clearly favoritism, he still tried to dress it up with grand reasoning.
However, even though Roy Lewis and the old man had tried their best to dispel her doubts, Richelle still gave Roy Lewis a meaningful glance before saying to the old man,
“Old man, I appreciate your good intentions. However, my educational principles have always been to respect the children’s wishes first and foremost. So, I cannot guarantee that they will be interested in taking over the Lewis family and Lewis Group later.”
If any other person from the Lewis family had heard this, they would have wanted to kill her.
But Richelle was very thoughtful. These shares were indeed tempting, but ordinary people didn’t need that much money.
She was also confident enough that even without these shares and based on her own abilities, she could provide her three children with excellent and appropriate education and care.
Therefore, she didn’t need to tie her children’s futures to the Lewis family just for the sake of money they wouldn’t use.
The old man was surprised, thinking that when Richelle saw the agreement, she would be overjoyed.
Even if she wasn’t overjoyed, she would at least sign the agreement without any hesitation.
But he didn’t expect that after she saw the agreement, her first concern was Roy’s and his own position.
Her second concern was her children’s future.
In other words, she cared more about the first two things than the shares and money.
No wonder she was the woman that his grandson insisted on marrying despite his objections. Her vision and mindset were far more than that of the others in the family, so much so that it was a whole galaxy away from the likes of Sebastian Lewis and the other family members!
The old man had always considered himself to be a good judge of character, but now he finally had to admit that he had mistaken Richelle before!
