Richelle Dunn was ready to return the money.

However, the benefactor replied.

“No need, the task is indeed difficult. You’ve worked hard!”

Richelle thought she had read it wrong. Were there really people in this world who would refuse money?

“Mr. Benefactor, are you sure I shouldn’t return it?”

In the past, Richelle had tried to use her “little schemes” to get more rewards from the benefactor.

But at that time, she truly believed her labor warranted such compensation. And this task was indeed very difficult, but the benefactor was truly generous. From when she first accepted the task to now, the benefactor had voluntarily increased the reward twice.

So, with the current slow progress, Richelle didn’t think she deserved such a high reward.

“Really, there’s no need. For me, it’s just a small amount of money. Don’t worry about it.”

As expected, quite a wealthy and generous bigshot.

“Thank you, Mr. Benefactor, I will speed up the process!”

If she hadn’t already committed herself to Roy Lewis, she might have blurted out “I’m all yours” to the benefactor.

“The task is important, but safety is more crucial. Be careful.”

Richelle stared at the screen, doubting if the possessor of those warm words was the same cold, ruthless benefactor she knew.

But naturally, she was in no position to voice her suspicions to the benefactor.

She could only reply to him.

“Thank you for your concern, Mr. Benefactor. Please also take care.”

It has to be said, money has a powerful charm.

The situation seemed to improve for Richelle. She’d originally thought today would be as fruitless as the day before. But to her surprise, she managed to copy a top-secret document.

Though the document didn’t match the task given by Mr. Benefactor, it might be an unexpected surprise for him.

Richelle compressed the document and quickly sent it to the benefactor.

“Mr. Benefactor, this is an extra gift. It’s free!”

Within minutes of sending the document, the benefactor sent a string of exclamation marks.

“Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Richelle felt good and realized that perhaps the tasks that the benefactor had requested were based on misleading appearances and made the wrong predictions.

Just when Richelle was thinking about whether to share her thoughts with the benefactor, it seemed he had realized the same problem.

“Put the previous tasks aside and dig deeper in the direction you just found.” Richelle felt a combination of helplessness at having wasted so much effort and relief at discovering a new potential path.

“Understood!”

“Well done!”

Mr. Benefactor was in high spirits today, and Richelle was pleased to receive the praise.

After logging off, she checked the time. It wasn’t even midnight yet. Thinking that Roy should still be awake, she hummed a tune and left her bedroom, intending to be a thoughtful girlfriend by bringing him his medicine and urging him to go to bed on time.

Unexpectedly, as she walked down the stairs, she saw Roy hurriedly leaving his office, dressed to go out.

Richelle looked at him in surprise. “Are you going out?”

Roy quickly walked over and waited for her at the bottom of the stairs before pulling her into his arms.

“Sorry, Uncle Axel has an urgent matter, and I need to go to him right away.” Richelle looked at him worriedly, “Is it serious? Is it an illness? Or something else?”

Ever since Roy had orchestrated the rescue of her mentor in South Asia, Richelle had become aware of numerous aspects of his identity.

However, she too had her own secrets, so even though she knew he held an important position within the Federation, she never questioned him about it. Roy kissed her lips and caressed her head to comfort her.

“Don’t worry, my uncle and aunt are both fine, it’s just something else.” Richelle remained concerned inside, but not wanting to burden Roy, she put on a bright smile.

“Alright, as long as everyone’s fine. Don’t forget to bring your medicine and take it.”

“I will. You should go to bed early too, and try not to stay up late.”

Richelle accompanied Roy to his car and watched it drive away before heading back inside.

Uncle Axel was also clueless, thinking that Roy was returning to deal with company matters.

Fearing that Richelle would be angry with his master, he hurriedly came to speak on Roy’s behalf.

“Dr. Dunn, Master Lewis rarely does this. It must be an incredibly urgent matter.”

Richelle nodded, “I understand. Uncle Axel, you should also go to bed early. Roy probably won’t be back tonight.”

Richelle returned to her bedroom, intending to work a little more while Roy was gone.

However, when she logged back into the system, she felt uneasy.

She couldn’t shake the feeling that something was about to happen.

As it turned out, her intuition was accurate.

In the middle of the night, her restless sleep was interrupted by a phone call.

She hurriedly answered, and on the other end was Nathan’s voice.

“Dr. Dunn, please come to the hospital right away.. Master Lewis has been injured!”
