Chapter 688 - 684: Earning Big Money with Mr. Dunn
“If I had hundreds of billion dollars, I would walk sideways when I go out. Ah, no, I wouldn’t need to walk at all. I’d use planes for daily transportation, have cars waiting when I land, and be carried around on a palanquin -drawing as much attention as possible.”
Harris Dunn nodded in agreement.
“Exactly, rich people should act and look the part. Those who say the wealthy should be humble and polite are just poor themselves, and can’t even begin to imagine the happiness of being rich and powerful.”
“Money and power are special symbols. Once you have both, how can you live like an ordinary person?”
Thinking about Richelle Dunn’s calm facade just now, Harris Dunn couldn’t help but feel elated!
Before, Harris Dunn usually appeared to be humble, polite, and cautious.
However, as Jayden Dunn gradually stopped interfering in the company’s matters and Mason Lilliput’s people praised Harris increasingly, he began to grow arrogant and conceited.
Especially today, seeing Richelle Dunn abashed, he felt a sense of satisfaction that his fortunes had turned for the better.
Moreover, with the subdivision’s proposal in Leutonia being approved, he could almost see piles of cash flowing into his pocket.
Considering the share of profits Mason Lilliput had promised him, Harris Dunn speculated that he might become wealthier than Richelle, who inherited Roy Lewis’s fortune, in a few years.
Pondering these possibilities, Harris Dunn felt like standing on top of the Dunn Group building and shouting out loud to the people of Lordon.
As boards of directors had been tantalized by the high potential profits from the new branches during Harris Dunn’s lobbying, they were now more than willing to flatter him, the man who would lead them to make a fortune.
“That’s right! After making a fortune under Mr. Dunn’s leadership, we shall all live like the wealthy!”
Eagerly discussing with his colleagues, Harris Dunn led them to celebrate their success.
Meanwhile, returning to her private jet, the first thing Richelle Dunn did was hug Denise Munni and apologize profusely.
“Denise, I’m sorry!”
Denise looked at her, confused. “Richelle, I should be the one apologizing to you. I don’t know what got into Mr. Dunn, suddenly ordering Ando to cause this scene. Now that Harris has got his subdivision proposal approved, what will happen to Dunn Group’s reputation…”
Denise knew that Richelle had been hesitating to take back the company, partly because she didn’t want to rely too much on Roy Lewis but also because she hoped for a smooth transition for Dunn Group.
However, Harris Dunn’s proposal for a new branch in Leutonia had crossed her red line.
Denise took out her phone.
“No, I have to get a proper explanation from my boss for this! Even if he fires me, today he must give me a reasonable explanation!”
Denise had tried to call her boss several times on the plane, but he never picked up.
It felt as if he was deliberately avoiding her.
Richelle held Denise’s hand and spoke up. “Denise, I’m sorry, but you don’t need to make that call. I instructed Mr. Dunn to create the scene.”
Denise frowned at her, puzzled.
“Richelle, what do you mean by that?”
Richelle replied, “It’s just as I said. Don’t be mad. I was the mastermind behind it all.”
Richelle had never mentioned Mason Lilliput to Denise, and it wasn’t appropriate to bring him up now.
Instead, she explained that she needed to lure out enemies who had previously tried to kill Roy Lewis, and that the branch’s establishment was crucial for that purpose.
“So, the branch proposal must pass. But you had voted against it three times before, and Harris is a very sensitive person. If you suddenly changed your vote to support it or if you seemed even slightly unnatural, he would suspect something.”
Understanding the situation, Denise realized she was the only one kept in the dark throughout this ordeal.
No wonder Richelle looked so calm after casting her vote.
“So, Ando’s actions today, him hitting me in front of everyone, you knew about it all and were even the mastermind behind it all?”
Richelle nodded apologetically. “I’m sorry. I wasn’t sure if you could make your reaction to being hit look genuine, so I kept you in the dark. That way, there would be no chance of failure.”
After saying this, Richelle reached out to hug Denise.
Denise pushed her hand away, feigning anger as a warning.
“Dr. Dunn, I understand why, but I was deceived, so let me be angry for a while. No hugs!”
Richelle smiled and chuckled, amused by her feigned anger.
Denise glared at her. “I declare that I’ll break our friendship for two hours! After that, depending on your reaction, I may reconsider.”
Richelle grinned. “Why don’t you just tell me what I should do after the two hours instead? As adults, shouldn’t we communicate more clearly?”
Denise scoffed again. “Dr. Dunn, please be serious. I’m genuinely upset! Who gets mad and then helps the other person figure out how to make it up to them?”
Richelle feigned innocence and took out her phone, pretending to make a call.
“Fine, I’ll ask Nathan how he’s been wooing you lately!”
Denise clicked her tongue and grabbed her hand, speaking disdainfully.
“You can’t do what he does anyway!”
Richelle exclaimed as if she just realised something. “Oh, that’s right! I don’t just lack his skills, I also lack his…functions…”
