Roy Lewis wasn’t lying, but even if he knew where Margareth was, he would never reveal a shred of information.
If he, Roy Lewis, didn’t have the ability to protect his subordinates, what face would he have to present himself in society?
However, Mr. Rowen wouldn’t back down, “Are you willing to disclose her information publicly within our organization?”
That was when Mr. Rowen had thoroughly touched Roy Lewis’s inverse scale.
“Mr. Rowen, you’re aggressively pushing the blame of your own incompetence onto others. Where’s your dignity?”
“If I were to reveal this comrade’s information today, who would be willing to serve the Federation in the future?”
Roy Lewis mercilessly exposed Mr. Rowen’s ugly face, then abruptly stood up.
“As for what to do next, you all can decide by voting. In any case, I’m saying this now: if you wish to investigate this comrade, I will hand in my resignation tomorrow!”
After saying that, Roy Lewis didn’t even spare a glance for Mr. Rowen as he turned and walked out.
Mr. Rowen’s face turned pale with anger, “Mr. President, look! This is a blatant threat!”
Kennedy Green nodded, his expression indifferent.
“Yes, it’s a blatant threat.”
A subtle smirk appeared on Mr. Rowen’s face, “So…”
Kennedy Green raised his finger and tapped on the table, “So, Mr. Rowen, tell
me, other than my nephew, who can obtain this intelligence? Have you forgotten who found the intelligence for those previous difficult cases in economy and border security that no one dared to handle? Was it you, Mr. Rowen? Not only those who charge and break through on the front lines are heroes!”
Kennedy Green appeared amiable and spoke calmly, but his words were always harsh.
?TH say this too, don’t think I’m being biased because of my family. If it weren’t for me being his uncle, Roy would not have bothered to take on these tasks for the Federation! How much money does the Federation give him? What does The Lewis family have? What wealth and power doesn’t he have? Why does he risk his life here? To be doubted and humiliated by you, Mr. Rowen?
Mr. Rowen, who was on the screen, didn’t dare to utter a word.
After scolding Mr. Rowen, Kennedy Green glanced at the few colleagues in his office.
“Since Mr. Rowen thinks I’m favoring my family, I won’t express my opinion on this matter. You guys can vote on it. Tonight, do we hold Roy’s department responsible, or Mr. Rowen’s department responsible?”
Kennedy Green was also furious. If it weren’t for giving his uncle some face, his proud nephew would be too lazy to deal with these narrow-minded bureaucrats!
“Anyway, before voting, weigh your own abilities carefully and think about how easy it is to drive people away, and how difficult it is to get them back! I’m very busy and don’t have time to clean up your mess!”
Kennedy Green got up and left, leaving Benjamin Fred in charge.
Among the colleagues, one named Mr. Bryant, who had climbed the ranks together with Mr. Rowen from the grassroots level, spoke to Mr. Rowen on the screen, “Mr. Rowen, you’ve gone too far today!”
Mr. Rowen indignantly replied, “I went too far? I was fighting for the Federation before that kid was even born!”
Mr. Bryant sighed and said a fair word.
“Ability doesn’t necessarily correlate with age! Moreover, as the President said, not only those on the frontlines are heroes! Mr. Lewis may be low-key and not eager to compete, but the merits of his work are no less than ours!” “Since you’re stubborn, I don’t have anything more to say. In any case, today s matter, I support Mr. Lewis.”
The other colleagues also expressed their support for Roy Lewis one after another.
“For all the difficult tasks Mr. Lewis has taken on in recent years, we must not discourage those who genuinely get things done!”
Thus, except for Mr. Rowen himself, all other colleagues voted for holding Mr. Rowen’s department responsible.
Roy Lewis didn’t care about the follow-up in the office. After slamming the door, he didn’t stop and headed straight to the parking lot and got in the car. Since it was an important and confidential matter today, Nathan Caroule only waited in the car for Roy. He was currently inquiring about Lordon through friends. Upon seeing Roy enter the car, Nathan hastily asked.
“Sir, is the situation resolved?”
Roy Lewis didn’t answer him directly, only saying.
“Go!”
From the restrained tone of his master, Nathan could tell that things didn’t seem to have been resolved.
He promptly started the car and drove out of the Presidential Palace.
“Sir, are we going home now?”
Nathan cautiously glanced through the rearview mirror at his boss, who was resting with his eyes closed in the dim light with a frown. He knew Roy was in a bad mood, so he asked carefully.
“Go to Dr. Dunn’s house…”
Nathan was startled, “Sir, it’s already eleven o clock…
It would be at least 11:30 before they even made it to Richelle Dunn’s house, even with the roads being clear and driving fast.
Roy Lewis ignored him, implying that he should stop talking and just go. Nathan didn’t dare to ask any more questions, taking a turn at the crossroads and speeding in the direction of Richelle Dunn’s house.
Roy Lewis was in a terrible mood. At this time, his head felt like it was being drilled into with a power tool, the pain was excruciating.
Ever since Richelle Dunn arrived, he hadn’t experienced such a severe headache in a long time.
He leaned his head against the seat, closed his eyes, and raised his hand to massage his aching brow.
The car moved quietly forward, and during a red light, Nathan glanced at his silent boss and was startled.
“Sir, are you feeling unwell somewhere? Do you need to go to the hospital?
Roy Lewis waved his hand and said in a deep voice, “No need!”
For him, going to the hospital wouldn’t be as effective as going to Richelle Dunn’s house.
He didn’t know what was happening to himself. Before, he had experienced helpless anger just like today.
But he had always been able to hide his negative emotions behind a calm facade and gradually digest them.
However, today after getting in the car, his first thought was to see Richelle Dunn.
He wanted to see her clean smile, her buzzling household with children’s chatter, her not-so-big but snug sofa, her hot cup of tea, her stern discipline of the children, and her unrestrained laughter…
The desire to see Richelle Dunn was unstoppable, even for him.
“You can take a nap, and I’ll call you when we arrive.
Roy Lewis wouldn’t be able to sleep without seeing Richelle Dunn first.
His headache was severe, but his mind was still flashing with numerous past events. Ironically, Richelle Dunn had never been involved in any of those past events and was completely unaware of them, yet he desperately wanted to confide in her.
When Roy Lewis arrived at Richelle Dunn’s door, it was already 11:30 pm.
Not wanting to wake the children or frighten Richelle Dunn, Roy Lewis didn’t ring the doorbell but called her instead.
The phone rang for a long time without anyone answering. Roy Lewis figured Richelle had gone to sleep.
But even if she was asleep, he wasn’t planning on being a considerate gentleman tonight.
Tonight, he just wanted to indulge himself in an act of caprice..
