Chapter 681: Chapter 677: Fu Yunjing, Continuing to Court Death

After the rooftop date the night before, Roy Lewis’s inner restlessness seemed to have diminished considerably.

As his mental and physical health improved, Richelle Dunn increased his working hours to five hours a day.

On Monday, Roy was left at home to look after the house, while Richelle took the children back to school and then returned to the Lewis Group for a board meeting.

As the President, Richelle couldn’t miss the monthly board meeting.

Not only did Aldo Lewis and his siblings attend the meeting, but Alexander Lewis also made a rare appearance.

Roy hadn’t told Richelle about Alexander’s frozen assets, so she was completely unaware of it.

So, when Alexander looked at her with an extremely resentful gaze, she found it inexplicable.

While waiting for Nathan Caroule to finish the preliminary statement at the meeting, Richelle sent him a message.

Richelle Dunn: “Is Alexander Lewis out of his mind? His dismissal and loss of inheritance are his own fault, so why does he seem to hate me?”

Only then did Nathan recall that he hadn’t mentioned the incident to Richelle.

“A few days ago, Roy asked me to freeze all of his assets. So now, he can only live off the dividends from his parents’ shares. Understandably, he is furious.”

Richelle was somewhat surprised, “What has he done wrong this time?”

Nathan Caroule: “Regarding Timothy and Timmy’s issue, he believes that Alexander is to blame.”

Upon reflection, Richelle thinks that Roy’s assessment may not be incorrect.

Once she understood the situation, Richelle could make sense of Alexander’s malice towards her.

However, it seemed that aside from Roy’s bloodline, the rest of the Lewis family possessed a remarkable ability to squander their fortunes.

Take Alexander for example; he held at least two or three percent of the Lewis Group’s shares.

Based on the market value, his shares were worth billions, and the dividends alone were sufficient for a lifetime of wealth.

If he were a law-abiding person, he would have no problem living a rich and prosperous life.

However, they were all foolish and bad.

They insisted on ruining themselves, gradually losing everything they possessed.

Now, it seemed that Alexander was determined to continue down this path of self-destruction.

After the senior executives reported their earnings, it was customary for Nathan to discuss some major project proposals.

These proposals required the board members to vote on them.

No matter how big or small, Alexander led the opposing votes on every proposal.

Although his votes didn’t have a significant impact on the overall situation or future direction, they sent a signal to the other board members.

Alexander was unwilling to submit to Richelle.

No matter what decisions Richelle made as President, he would oppose her to the end.

What’s worse than expressing such personal opposition was the message conveyed by his actions.

The Lewis family’s internal strife had escalated.

Previously, Sebastian Lewis and his siblings weren’t entirely submissive to Roy, either.

However, they usually stood on the side of profit when it came to financial matters.

Now, Alexander seemed determined to oppose Richelle for the sake of opposition, disregarding the consequences.

After the meeting, Richelle instructed Nathan and the board members to go to dinner. She then went to handle some unfinished work at the Pharmaceutical Bureau.

At the banquet, the directors began to probe Alexander.

“Mr. Alexander, you’re very brave today!”

Alexander was fearless, like a man with nothing to lose.

He had nothing left, so why should he fear offending Richelle?

He didn’t believe the elder could do anything worse to him.

“Brave? The Lewises have always been entrusted with great responsibilities. Now the control lies in the hands of an outsider like Richelle. Who knows when everything will collapse? I advise everyone to distance themselves as soon as possible.”

Alexander’s brazen attitude surprised the directors.

While they wanted to probe further, his harsh words were too offensive to continue. Everyone present except for Aldo and his siblings refrained from talking to Alexander.

By afternoon, rumors had spread throughout Kindur that the Lewis family’s descendants were dissatisfied with Richelle’s control of the company, causing internal conflict.

Even the stable Lewis Group’s shares seemed to have fallen a bit due to these rumors.

New rumors surfaced, alleging that Richelle had diverted a large amount of the Lewis Group’s working capital to acquire shares of the Dunn Group.

As the rumors evolved into increasingly outrageous stories, the Meeting Chairman, an elderly man in his nineties, was in shock upon hearing the news, causing him to have a heart attack and be rushed to the hospital.
