Chapter 288: Chapter 284 She Was The One Who Collaborated With Megan Linwood Back Then
Translator: 549690339
Originally, the case of James Lewis and his son was scheduled to be heard half a month ago, but both Roy Lewis and Richelle Dunn were unable to return in time, so they applied to the court for a one-month postponement.
It will probably be heard in another half a month.
The old man waved his hand, “I will not interfere in this matter. You are now the head of the family, and Richelle is your wife. You should decide how to handle it.”
This matter, originally just a problem James Lewis and his son had caused, had now become a family affair due to the changing relationship between Richelle and Roy.
The Lewis family has been standing strong in the Federation for a hundred years, not only because each head of the family has been wise and resourceful, but also because the family rules have always been strict, even harsh.
The descendants of the Lewis family could be mediocre or extravagant, but they could not break the law or harm others.
Otherwise, in addition to being punished by the law, they would also face a very strict set of family laws.
Seeing that the old man made it clear that he would not be biased, Roy had already made up his mind.
“Alright, I’ll handle it.”
Thus, the old man temporarily stayed at Roy’s house.
In the afternoon, Richelle, who had been busy in the guest room, suddenly knocked on the door of the study.
Roy was in the middle of a video conference with a group of executives. When he saw her come in, he quickly said, “Let’s take a break,” turned off the video, stood up, and took the tray from her hand
As the two sat down on the sofa, Richelle drank a few sips of tea before asking him.
“Roy, a few years ago, do you remember how you were sent to that room?”
In fact, Richelle still doesn’t know where she was at that time.
Roy nodded, “That day, I went to the old house for dinner, and after dinner, I chatted with a few uncles for a while. Then, as usual, I took my medicine and went to rest in the suite on the top floor of the building next to the Central Hospital. By the time I realized something was wrong, you had already been brought in.”
Richelle nodded, “Do you remember when your third aunt woke up and saw me, she screamed ‘ghost’ ?”
Of course, Roy remembered. It’s just that at that time, he and Richelle didn’t think too much about it and simply thought that it was a neurological disorder caused by her brain being damaged.
Now that Richelle mentioned it, he immediately thought of Kiara’s similar reaction.
“Are you suspecting that on that night, Diana Thompson and her daughter Megan Linwood were working together?”
Richelle nodded, “Yes, I got the inspiration to scare Kiara by dressing up as a ghost because of Diana’s reaction. However, at that time, I also didn’t think too much.”
Roy seriously thought back for a moment, but since that had happened several years ago, and there were at least dozens of people in the big house at that time, he couldn’t recall any useful information at once.
“Alright, I’ll investigate their family’s finances from a few years ago.”
It wouldn’t be difficult to investigate something that happened only a few years ago.
Richelle expressed her concerns, and once she finished, she prepared to leave.
Roy was already a little tired after working for more than half of the afternoon, and now that Richelle was in front of him, he couldn’t let her leave so easily.
He reached out, pulled her over, and hugged her waist, holding her close in his arms.
His face buried in the nape of her neck, and he took a deep breath.
“Baby, let me hold you for a while and recharge my energy!”
Richelle knew he was working hard, so she stroked his fluffy hair as she negotiated with him.
“Didn’t you promise the kids a trip out to sea to see the dolphins before? The weather is nice this week, so why not see if you can find some time for a trip out to sea?”
Richelle was also busy, but her work was intermittent and adjustable. Moreover, she didn’t have the burden of managing a large company and a big family like Roy, who was under immense pressure.
Roy lifted his face and kissed her cheek.
“Alright, I will arrange it.”
In the past, he had almost no rest or entertainment in his life.
But after spending a month in South Asia, he had gotten used to taking at least an hour every day, and half a day to a whole day every week, to put aside his work completely and have quality time with the children.
Ever since he started doing this, his life seemed to be enriched, and he finally experienced the happiness of feeling that anticipation for the day when waking up in the morning.
Richelle and Timothy and Tiffany quickly adapted to their new life after moving into the new house. After a long vacation, Mrs. Walker came to the Lewis family and, together with Mrs. Collins, took care of the children’s daily needs.
Richelle was incredibly busy lately, so Roy temporarily hired a few tutors to teach the children.
Of course, these tutors were carefully selected by Richelle and Roy after they had listened to their teachings.
Although the siblings preferred their mommy teaching them, they understood that she was busy. They couldn’t always rely on her for guidance, so after a few days of low spirits, they quickly adjusted to the new teachers.
Additionally, the couple hired teachers based on each child’s interests, teaching them their favorite subjects and topics.
Things quickly got back on track in their home, and the big and small members of the family lived together harmoniously.
The board meeting Richelle had originally planned to attend was finally held after being postponed for a month..
