Chapter 506: Repeated Provocations

Translator: 549690339

The vehicles the bodyguard mentioned at midnight were gone by just after ten in the morning.

However, within a few minutes, they were replaced by other cars with different license plate numbers.

One could say that the surveillance and ambush methods were quite cautious.

But their tricks paled in comparison to the professionalism of Roy Lewis’s bodyguards.

Moreover, since they’re out in the open while The Lewis’ undercover bodyguards are hidden, their chances of sneaking into the neighborhood are virtually zero.

And while they patiently waited for Richelle Dunn and her children to leave their house, they had no idea that after working for a few days at Lewis Group, Richelle and her children had quickly gained the support of many top-level employees thanks to their strength and courage.

So, after Roy Lewis returned home to rest, Richelle and her kids announced their decision to continue working from home.

During Roy’s tenure, the people of Lewis Group had already grown accustomed to him working from home, commanding everything through the internet.

Richelle and her sons, though still lacking in ability compared to Roy, possess the kind of personal charm and approachability that are many times greater than his.

Most importantly, these top executives are all loyal, hands-on elites who have faithfully followed Roy for over a decade.

They have long grown attached to Roy.

So, when given the choice between siding with Sebastian Lewis and his siblings or Richelle and her children,

even if it was just a matter of emotion rather than work capability, they would still choose to stand by Richelle and her children.

Now that they have seen the performance of Richelle and her children at work, they have become even more committed to their side without any conditions.

As a result, with Richelle and her children working from home, Lewis Group remains peaceful and quiet, with no objections.

Only Sebastian and his siblings, who had been all prepared to give Richelle and her children a hard time, can’t even find them, let alone annoy them.

“Nathan Caroule! You better give us an explanation right now. Why don’t Richelle and her kids have to come to work? We still have to come back every day to punch in, and what do they count as?”

With the old man not around and Richelle absent too, Sebastian’s mouth started running again.

Nathan was used to their antics of only daring to clamor when Roy wasn’t around, and he also knew that other than being good at talking, they were like paper tigers. Brittle and easy to break.

“Mr. Lewis, I’m just an assistant. In terms of position, I’m lower than them, in terms of relationship, they pay my salary, they’re my boss and master. How could I ask them for an explanation?”

“On the other hand, you, Mr. Lewis, are their elder. Give them a call and scold them, they probably won’t even dare to make a sound!”

Nathan knew full well that Sebastian would not dare to call Richelle’s side, so he purposely egged him on.

Sebastian’s expression became a bit delicate, “She’s just an outsider, how could I possibly have her number? Besides, what right does she have to bother me with a phone call?”

Nathan laughed, “Yeah, what right does she have? In that case, I’ll call her, and you can scold her yourself, Mr. Lewis!”

Nathan was always eager to join in on the fun and, without waiting for Sebastian’s consent, he dialed Richelle’s number directly, even activating the speakerphone.

Now Sebastian was stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Richelle’s voice came through soon after, “Nathan, what’s up?”

Nathan pretended to be tremulous, “Miss Dunn, Mr. Lewis wants to speak with you…”

In reality, he was quite casual and even brazen towards both Roy and Richelle.

On Richelle’s end, she was sitting in her office dealing with emails, with Roy right by her side.

Her phone was also on speaker mode, placed on the table.

“Mr. Lewis, do you need something?”

If her previous tone had any warmth, it was now strictly professional and cold.

“Richelle, do you think you can run wild in Lewis Group just because the old man is backing you up?”

In front of Nathan and his siblings, Sebastian naturally had to maintain the bearing of The Lewis’ elder.

Richelle replied calmly, “I’m just working from home. Mr. Lewis, which of your eyes saw me running wild? Did my working style disrupt the progress of Lewis Group’s subsidiary departments? Or did my working from home cause any projects to fail and suffer heavy losses? If so, please list them one by one, and I will apologize at any time and place!”

Richelle’s counters left Sebastian at a loss for words.

He and his siblings had always idled about at Lewis Group, roaming around and establishing their presence as the company bigwigs.

Ask them what each department was up to, and they wouldn’t know.

Ask them what big projects Lewis Group was currently discussing, and they would still be clueless.

“Mr. Lewis, I’m sorry, but I’m busy right now and don’t have time to chat with you all. If you manage to find solid evidence, feel free to file objections and complaints with the board. As for calling and scolding people, such petty behavior should be done less in the future!”

Richelle finished speaking and hung up the phone immediately.

Sebastian and his siblings were left fuming, nearly smashing Nathan’s phone in anger..
