Chapter 702: Chapter 698: The Difficult Battle is About to Begin

That day, Richelle Dunn had dinner and then asked for leave from her children.

“Babies, Mummy has a very important thesis to write today, so I won’t be able to spend time with you later.”

The three little ones were accustomed to their parents being busy and always understanding.

After pouting for goodnight kisses, they waved their little hands, urging Richelle to go and get busy.

Richelle went online and teamed up with Hugo Camrey and Vanessa to prepare for a big task ahead.

They worked non-stop from eight o’clock in the evening until more than three o’clock in the morning. With the combined efforts of Hugo and Vanessa, Richelle successfully infiltrated the target system.

When she compressed a pile of core intelligence to send to her mysterious benefactor, it was already past four o’clock.

As soon as she sent the compressed file, the mysterious benefactor replied almost immediately.

“You’ve worked hard, good night!”

Richelle also replied, “Keep fighting!”

Richelle stayed in front of the screen for a while, making sure the mysterious benefactor had no questions before logging off.

She knew that Roy Lewis would face a tough battle ahead.

So, in the following days, she took over all the work at the Lewis Group.

She even took over some of the work from Nathan Caroule.

So that Nathan could free up some time to help Roy Lewis.

The construction of the mansion in The Lewis’ Village was also nearing completion.

Richelle was always very strict with her professional work. Despite being busy, she took an afternoon off to check on the finishing touches of the mansion in The Lewis’ Village.

Ever since she had taken away a dozen strong young men the last time, the villagers had treated her with a lot more respect.

There were no more people provoking or annoying her on the surface.

Despite this, Richelle kept Delroy close behind her at all times.

Delroy was very concerned about her safety and had sent people to check the village inside and out before she decided to return.

On the way back, Richelle asked Delroy about the recent situation in the village.

“It’s been quiet lately. Those troublemakers have been pretty well-behaved.”

Actually, Roy Lewis had asked Delroy to step up surveillance on the chain KTVs and hotels recently, but Delroy was unsure if his boss wanted Richelle to know about it.

Since he was unsure, he said nothing.

Richelle felt that there was some undercurrent surging, but she couldn’t figure out what it was exactly.

Delroy’s words also seemed to be hiding something.

“Well, as long as there’s no problem, you’ve worked hard, Delroy.”

Richelle has always been very smart, and since Delroy did not say anything, it meant he had been given orders.

So if she forced him to speak, it would jeopardize his job.

Richelle made a mental note of this and didn’t ask Delroy any further questions.

When she returned to the village, Richelle had just gotten out of the car when Kenneth Bailes greeted her.

“Junior Sister, you, a busy person, have finally taken the time to come and see.”

Richelle laughed, “It’s about to be completed, if I don’t come to see, I’ll soon forget what kind of house I designed myself!”

Kenneth jokingly teased her, “Indeed, it’s been so long that I thought the next time you come, the house would be ready to move in.”

Kenneth led Richelle on a tour of the mansion, inside and out. Richelle was very satisfied.

“Senior Brother, you’ve worked hard during this time, after I finish being busy, I’ll treat you to dinner!”

Kenneth knew she was busy, “When can’t we eat dinner? More importantly, remember to sign up for the organizing committee. The registration deadline is next week.”

Richelle was surprised, “Who said I was going to sign up?”

After saying that, she suddenly remembered that Roy Lewis had indeed mentioned submitting her design to the competition.

So, after saying that, she quickly corrected herself.

“Oh, I remember, are you talking about that international competition?”

Kenneth nodded, “This time, I’ve also signed up. I hope we can make it to the end together.”

Richelle said, “Actually, I haven’t decided whether or not to participate.”

Kenneth was astonished, “Are you crazy, Junior Sister? This is a design competition that only takes place every two years. If you miss it this time, you’ll have to wait another two years.”

Richelle didn’t want to tell the real reason and could only say.

“I will think about it.”

When she returned home in the evening, the first thing Richelle did was ask Roy Lewis if he had registered her.

Roy Lewis nodded naturally.

“Of course! I registered a long time ago.”

Richelle was a little embarrassed, “Can I withdraw it?”

Roy Lewis looked incredulous.

“Withdraw? Why? You signed up with confidence in your own abilities, so why would you want to withdraw?”

Richelle had no choice but to tell him the truth.

“I’m almost certain now that in the future, I will primarily be a doctor. As for design, it depends on my mood and fate.”

“That’s why I don’t want someone like me, who treats design as a hobby, to take away more possibilities from talented professional designers who work hard and need a bigger platform and resources.”

Richelle thought that by stating her reasons, Roy Lewis would agree to her withdrawal intentions.

However, Roy Lewis was very insistent.

“In that case, I think you should sign up even more!”
