Chapter 604: Chapter 600: Candy is More Powerful Than Whips
On the first night that the young guys from The Lewis’ Village were held at the club, Nathan Caroule received several calls from Edric Lewis and Jason.
By the evening of the second day, his phone was almost blown up with calls.
At this time, he was in Roy Lewis’s study, reporting the affairs of the Lewis Group to him.
“Roy, don’t you plan to intervene in the village’s affairs?”
Roy Lewis calmly sipped his tea.
“How can I interfere with the matters of the dead?”
Nathan choked momentarily, but quickly replied,
“Roy, stop playing games with me.”
“Edric Lewis is not a trivial person.”
Roy cut him off, “So, are you implying that Richelle is?”
Nathan Caroule was speechless.
“Of course, Dr. Dunn is not someone ordinary either, but she operates openly while Edric Lewis works in the shadows.”
Roy looked at him, “Who said Richelle is exposing herself? She invited those young guys to enjoy good food and accommodations, what do you think that’s for?”
Nathan was somewhat puzzled, “Yeah, why?”
Roy then explained,
“Didn’t you just say that Edric Lewis called you so many times from yesterday to today?”
Nathan suddenly realized, “Oh… Dr. Dunn is creating an illusion for Edric Lewis, trying to put severe pressure on those guys, and then let Edric go mad.”
Roy shook his head, “You’re half wrong. Sometimes, candy can be more powerful than a whip!”
Nathan was stunned for a moment, then quickly figured it out.
“I was saying, Dr. Dunn spent so much money… So that’s her plan.”
Roy glanced at him, “What else did you think? Plus, these boys will be isolated once they return to the village. If they hope for a future worth living, they’ll probably have to follow Richelle.”
Nathan admired the strategy, “Clever! I thought Dr. Dunn was just going to torture them in a dark room.”
Roy simply replied, “Shallow!”
Nathan understood then that he probably didn’t need to worry too much about the events in the village.
“However, these guys, they’re just hooligans. There aren’t many who can be of use, right?”
As Roy’s assistant, Nathan knew quite a lot about the Lewis Group and The Lewis’ Village.
So, after glancing at the list of names, he understood – these young guys were just incited to cause trouble.
However, regardless of whoever instigated this or those who followed suit, they underestimated Richelle.
A woman who can manipulate the strongest business empire in the Federation is not someone these punks can intimidate into backing down.
But Roy said, “Every chess piece, even pawns, can determine the outcome of the game if they are well placed.”
Seeing that Roy was confident, Nathan decided to let him handle it.
During dinner, Richelle, who usually took care of the children, was particularly attentive to Roy that day.
Roy didn’t express much, eating whatever she peeled for him or put into his bowl.
After dinner, the three children went out to play in the backyard.
Richelle then asked Roy, “I want to visit the club with Delroy later.”
Roy vaguely guessed her thoughts, so as soon as she opened her mouth, he shook his head.
“Now is not the right time…”
Richelle wondered, “Why?”
This was the first time Roy gave advice on this matter.
“Think about it, it’s only the second day, they are still observing and on guard. They are still very wary of you, so if you visit, you won’t be able to get any real information.”
Richelle thought for a moment, it seemed to make sense.
She humbly asked,
“So when would be the best time for me to visit?”
“You’ve been having Delroy accompany them, right?”
Richelle nodded.
Roy then said, “When they start to treat Delroy as a brother and are comfortable together, that’s when you can make an appearance.”
Richelle took in the advice gratefully.
“Thank you, Professor Roy!”
Roy Lewis chuckled, reaching out to pinch her on the cheek.
“You’re injured, try to stay at home as much as possible. There’s no need to make unnecessary trips that waste time and put strain on your health.”
Richelle nodded, “I know, I’m the pillar of this family right now. If I collapse, it will be up to Timmy and Timothy to take over.”
Roy’s laughter intensified, “That’s not a problem. Though our son is small, he can certainly take on responsibilities!”
Richelle scoffed, “Look at you, such a doting father, thinking your son is capable of everything.”
Roy Lewis then pulled her into his arms, his voice full of both amusement and smugness.
“Not just him, everyone in our family, including my wife and daughter, they’re all capable.”
Richelle questioned, “Daughter? What’s wrong with Tifanny?”
Roy nodded, “That girl is just not interested in many things, but if she is interested, her learning abilities are nothing less than those of Timmy and Timothy.”
Richelle was even more curious. As a mother, she knew everything about her daughter.
But for Roy, who always believed that their daughter was just a cute, soft princess, did he actually realize that his little princess was a wolf in sheep’s clothing?
