Chapter 777: Chapter 773: Being Framed
Yesterday, the blog post accusing Roy Lewis of using public resources for private purposes was still up, but the top comments underneath were mostly positive.
The previous negative, abusive, and slanderous comments by paid posters had been buried by the positive ones that flooded in afterwards.
Roy Lewis himself didn’t care about the slander, humiliation, or even the abuse.
But when it involved Sonia Seaton, he couldn’t help but care.
Thinking back to how worried Richelle Dunn was for him yesterday was bad enough, but it turned out there had been such a troubling incident in the morning as well.
He texted Richelle Dunn, “Richelle, I just saw those defamatory comments online yesterday. How’s Master Seaton? Not upset, right?”
Richelle Dunn didn’t reply to him.
After a while, there was still no response from Richelle Dunn.
He thought she was angry and sent another message.
“Should I send an apology letter to Master Seaton from my personal account?”
Richelle Dunn still didn’t reply to him.
Roy Lewis kept checking his phone every few seconds.
But Richelle Dunn didn’t reply to him.
After about five or six minutes, which felt like a century to Roy Lewis, he finally sent a message to Nathan Caroule.
“Is Richelle working overtime today?”
Nathan Caroule replied quickly.
Nathan Caroule: “Dr. Dunn has a surgery today, which I think is supposed to take more than ten hours.”
Roy Lewis sighed in relief after seeing Nathan Caroule’s reply.
“Why didn’t you tell me about the online slander against Master Seaton yesterday?”
Nathan Caroule: “You’re so busy, and Mr. Fred and I have already dealt with this. When you have time, get some rest. Your body is still in the recovery stage, so try not to worry Dr. Dunn too much.”
After talking with Nathan Caroule, Roy Lewis thought about it and finally posted an apology on social media using his verified account.
[I’m very sorry for not informing the public about my itinerary in advance and causing unnecessary accusations and abuses against Professor Sonia Seaton, who we sincerely invited to treat the President. I deeply apologize! And thank you, Professor Seaton, for your selfless dedication to come and save lives despite your busy schedule.]
His apology was soon reposted and commented on by many other verified users.
Michael Yonne: “What kind of society is this? The President’s whereabouts are government secrets. A bunch of ignorant maggots think they know better than the President and that he needs to report everything to them, right?”
Nery: “Stay strong, Mr. President and Professor Seaton. Don’t pay attention to those brainless maggots, who have no real skill other than hiding behind the internet and cursing others!”
Chloe Duncan: “What’s wrong with this world? People who get things done have to explain their actions and whereabouts to people who don’t know anything and are nobodies. Destroy it, I’m tired of it all!”
…
After posting the apology, Roy Lewis didn’t read the comments or follow-up anymore.
He didn’t care what others said about him; he just wanted to make it clear to the public that Sonia Seaton had come to help save lives.
Of course, Sonia Seaton also took the opportunity to reunite with their family for Mid-Autumn.
But that was Sonia Seaton’s personal affair, and it was none of anyone else’s business.
He started discussing the day’s itinerary with the staff around him.
Around nine o’clock, he returned to the Presidential Palace and started listening to reports, reviewing reports submitted from various places, and signing various documents.
At noon, he made a phone call home during a lunch break. As soon as the three kids saw him, they started chattering away.
Tifanny told him about the birds outside, while Timothy and Timmy said that their teeth seemed to be getting loose.
They asked Roy Lewis to take a day off and accompany them to have their teeth pulled out.
Roy Lewis agreed to all the children’s requests, but did not set a specific time to fulfill them.
“Daddy, you look like you’ve lost weight? Your eye sockets are so deep now!”
Timothy, as always, did not hesitate to speak his mind.
Tifanny also examined him carefully, “Daddy, you can’t lose any more weight! You are too skinny now!”
Timmy patted her head, “Sis, it’s not because Daddy is losing weight; he’s just tired!”
Tifanny exclaimed, “Daddy, don’t overwork yourself! Mommy always says that health is the foundation of everything, right? Wearing yourself out is just not worth it.”
All three children probably didn’t know Roy Lewis had a fever, but their advice was spot on.
“Daddy knows, thank you, my darlings!”
After seeing the smiling faces of the three children, Roy Lewis’s fatigue seemed to disappear instantly.
In the afternoon, Roy Lewis received a courier delivery. Inside the package was a report accusing the Lewis Group’s factory of non-compliant pollution control.
After reading the report, Roy Lewis handed it over to Benjamin Fred to avoid any suspicion and asked him to handle it.
Benjamin looked at the report, frowning.
“This person must be so full to come up with such nonsense. The pollution control equipment in Lewis’s factory has always been the global leader. It’s really ridiculous to claim that it’s non-compliant just by one’s baseless words.”
If the person sitting in the highest position wasn’t Roy Lewis, this report would be thrown aside.
However, since it was Roy Lewis sitting there, the report had to be dealt with!
