Chapter 598: Chapter 594: Slap me in the face, I can’t stand it

Soon after, the minibus arranged by Delroy arrived and took away the ten or so people who had just caused the commotion.

Edric Lewis was extremely anxious, but Delroy remained firm and unyielding, leaving Edric no choice but to try to squeeze onto the bus at the last moment.

“Delroy, I’ve lived this long and have never enjoyed myself at the Jinhuan, so why don’t you count me in?”

He had no other option, and figured that if he couldn’t hold the people back, he might as well go along to at least keep an eye on them and prevent them from making mistakes or saying the wrong things.

But Delroy was uncompromising, pushing Edric away by the chest and directly off the bus.

“Edric, sorry, but you are not on the list.”

Delroy’s word was final. After pushing Edric Lewis off the bus, he asked the driver to close the door, and the bus sped away.

In another car, Richelie Dunn was video calling Roy Lewis.

Roy’s expression was solemn, with a murderous look in his eyes.

“Richelle, I’ll have Nathan handle this, and you should stay out of it!”

Roy had always guarded her carefully, never even wanting to harm a finger on her hand, yet people from the village dared to throw stones at her?

Damn, do they think that Roy Lewis is already dead!

Richelle could only try to soothe him in a soft voice.

“Roy, this started because of me, so I should be the one to handle it. Don’t worry, I will consult you if I encounter any difficulties or problems. Besides, aren’t all the people I’m using yours? What’s the difference between me handling it and you having Nathan handle it?”

Roy Lewis’ face darkened, “Richelle, they are clearly slapping me in the face by doing this.”

Richelle laughed, “Your face doesn’t exist to them anymore, so they’re actually slapping my face. So, can I bear it?”

Roy fell silent.

Indeed, this incident clearly showed that Edric and Jason had both underestimated Richelle.

Given Richelle’s personality, she really could not tolerate being looked down upon to such an extent.

“Moreover, this matter is not only about me but also about the reputation of our children in the Lewis’ Village in the future.”

Richelle was well aware that among their children, apart from Timmy who was recognized by everyone, Timothy and Tifanny were considered outsiders by the villagers.

If she were to endure this time or let the Master or even Nathan Caroule step in and resolve the issue…

In the end, she would inevitably be seen as weak and easily bullied.

As for Timothy and Tifanny, who she brought back later, it would be even more difficult for them to gain recognition from the villagers.

Of course, she believed in Timothy and Tifanny’s ability to change everything on their own.

But this should have been her responsibility as a mother, and if she evaded it, she would be setting a bad example as a role model for her children.

Roy had originally thought of various ways to deal with Jason, Edric Lewis, and the others, but after hearing Richelle’s words, he reluctantly held back.

“Alright, for now, follow your own thoughts on this matter. If it really can’t be solved, I’ll step in and clean up the mess.”

Richelle smiled at him, “Master Lewis, are you looking down on me?”

Roy Lewis was in no way looking down on her; he just didn’t want her to be involved in any more danger.

Regarding the matter she had mentioned earlier, he had Nathan Caroule arrange for people to secretly investigate, and there was indeed a strong possibility of it leading to major complications behind the scenes.

And he didn’t want her to get mixed up in any of it.

But given today’s incident, with her intelligence, she would undoubtedly be able to analyze and connect a lot of dots.

“Baby, how could I dare look down on you? Just the way you invited all those people to the club, I should be clapping for you!”

Richelle was pleased by Roy’s praise and raised her eyebrows teasingly.

“See, I’m quite impressive, right? Returning enmity with favor! Good thing you can make money, otherwise, I’d bankrupt our family!”

Roy, who was originally in a bad mood, finally laughed after her teasing.

“Well, don’t worry about it. Living there for half a month or ten days is not even a fraction of the wealth I have, so feel free to be bold and spend!”

Richelle clicked her tongue, “Having money equals confidence, huh? Okay, I might as well play with them for a month or two. Anyhow, you have mountains of gold and silver that I can never spend completely.”

Roy Lewis said earnestly, “It’s fine for you to go and have fun, just as long as you take me with you!”

The conversation between the two swiftly shifted from serious and murderous to playful banter.

Afterwards, Roy didn’t mention that Richelle should leave the matter alone.

As the car drove along, Richelle realized something was off.

“Parker, are we taking a detour back home?”

Parker replied honestly, “Master Lewis said to take you to the hospital for a comprehensive checkup first!”

Richelle suddenly realized, no wonder Roy had just said he would wait for her to return for dinner instead of lunch.

“Parker, I’m a doctor myself. I just got a little knock on the head, there’s nothing else wrong with me.”

Parker looked serious, “Dr. Dunn, I can’t disobey Master Lewis’s orders.”

Richelle did not want to make things difficult for him and thought about having the director of the hospital look at her wound before going home once they found no issues.

However, the director spoke with the same tone as Parker.

He insisted on giving her a full-body checkup, from top to bottom, every part of her — from her facial features to her heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys – – was examined.

By the time Richelle returned home, it was almost dusk.

When she saw Roy, she snorted.

“Roy, is this your way of retaliation?”
