Chapter 726: Chapter 722: The Old Man Whose Heart Has Completely Gone Cold
Roy Lewis shook his head, “Indeed, there is no direct relationship, but when the Clarksons say that, outsiders won’t care if The Lewis didn’t make such a request, and they will directly assume The Lewis are being unreasonable, not even allowing The Yellows and Clarksons to hold an engagement banquet.”
Richelle Dunn was both angry and somewhat sad for the old man.
“So when Elizabeth Lewis came to see Grandpa, did she want Grandpa to come out and clarify things, or did she want Grandpa to host the engagement banquet?”
Roy Lewis gave Richelle Dunn a thumbs up.
“You guessed it, they want Grandpa to host the engagement banquet. In that case, the rumors that The Lewis won’t allow the celebration will naturally self-destruct.”
But Richelle Dunn only guessed that far.
“So what’s next? Their ultimate goal isn’t to have Grandpa host the engagement banquet, right?”
Roy Lewis patiently guided her, “So what do you think their ultimate goal is?”
Richelle Dunn thought for a while, and she faintly saw a pattern.
“The Clarksons and The Yellows, I think, never intended to hold an engagement banquet from the beginning. Now that the Clarksons suddenly made a fuss, they want to use this engagement banquet to get more things, right?”
Roy Lewis nodded, “Yes, they want to get more things that originally didn’t belong to them.”
Richelle Dunn recalled, “The things you said didn’t belong to them, are you referring to the shares Grandpa holds in his hands?”
Roy Lewis nodded, “Obviously, that’s their target.”
Richelle Dunn continued to analyze along this line of thought.
“But aren’t those shares to be distributed among the sons and grandchildren? Moreover, those shares won’t be distributed as long as Grandpa is alive.”
Roy Lewis replied, “Right, as long as Grandpa is alive, he is the key to stopping them from dividing those shares.”
Richelle Dunn’s eyes widened, and she incredulously exclaimed, “So they want to make trouble at the engagement banquet?”
Richelle Dunn didn’t think she was smart enough to come up with such a devious and vicious plan.
Roy Lewis sighed, “That’s right, they know that Grandpa has a heart attack and can’t stand to be stimulated, so they will try their best to make a big fuss at the engagement banquet.”
For a moment, Richelle Dunn couldn’t think of what to say to continue this topic.
She had been leaning on the other side of the desk, chatting with Roy Lewis. This time, she naturally walked over, opened her arms, and hugged Roy Lewis.
Roy Lewis knew she was comforting him, but in fact, many years ago, he had already given up on his uncles and aunts and no longer harbored any hope for them.
Roy Lewis also opened his arms to hug her, “I’m fine. I’ve seen through what they are, and I don’t have any expectations for them. The only thing that irritates me is that I don’t know how to bring up this matter with Grandpa.”
Richelle Dunn also felt this was a difficult problem.
“Does Grandpa know about the Clarksons spreading those nasty words outside?”
Roy Lewis shook his head, “He shouldn’t know at the moment, but by tomorrow, at the latest, he should hear about it.”
Richelle Dunn’s heart skipped a beat, “Will Grandpa guess their ultimate goal like you?”
Roy Lewis wanted to say no, but that wasn’t the truth.
“Grandpa isn’t a naïve person. In terms of tactics, Aldo Lewis is not even one percent of what Grandpa is, so Grandpa can’t possibly not think of this.”
Richelle Dunn actually knew the answer, but at this time, she hoped that the old man could be a little more confused and slow-witted.
That way, he wouldn’t have to suffer the heartache of treacherous children at the age of ninety.
“What should we do? We can’t let this go according to Aldo Lewis’ plan, right?”
Roy Lewis nodded, “Of course not. We’ll see what Grandpa thinks when he hears about it!”
Richelle Dunn and Roy Lewis assumed that the old man wouldn’t know about the situation until tomorrow.
However, that evening, after the three children fell asleep.
The old housekeeper came to knock on Roy Lewis’ study door.
“Young Master, the old master asks for you and Dr. Dunn to come to the living room for a chat.”
Richelle Dunn and Roy Lewis exchanged puzzled glances, and Roy Lewis was also somewhat surprised.
The two of them arrived at the living room to find teacups and teapots arranged on the coffee table, with four cups of tea.
Roy Lewis sat down and his gaze swept over the cups of tea.
“Grandpa, do we have a guest?”
As Richelle Dunn naturally took on the task of making tea, she also looked up at the old man upon hearing this.
“Yes, a lawyer will be here soon.”
“A lawyer?”
Richelle Dunn and Roy Lewis asked in unison.
“Yes!”
The old man picked up the tea and took a sip before slowly asking Roy Lewis.
“You both know about the Clarksons’ situation, right?”
Roy Lewis could only answer him truthfully, “Um…”
The old man put down the cup, “Since these bastards are always eyeing those shares of mine, I might as well divide them up now to save them the trouble of constantly plotting against me and not focusing on their own business!”
Richelle Dunn sighed silently in her heart and heard the old man continue.
“I’ll have the lawyer draft the papers, and you can look them over. Once there are no issues, let the lawyer take them for notarization tomorrow. Then, I’ll directly put the notarized agreement in the Lewis’ Village group chat to put an end to their scheming.”
