Triple Blessings: Mr. Fu’s Passionate Pursuit-Chapter 657 - 653: Alexander Lewis’ Shares, Belong to You

Chapter 657: Chapter 653: Alexander Lewis’ Shares, Belong to You freeωebnovēl.c૦m

Mr. Lewis stayed upstairs for nearly an hour, and when he came downstairs, he came down with the housekeeper.

Richelle Dunn made him tea and brought some snacks.

“Grandpa, you must be hungry coming over at this time. Have some snacks to fill your stomach. Dinner will be ready in about half an hour.”

Mr. Lewis pointed to Richelle and said to the housekeeper, “Look at Richelle, she’s so thoughtful and caring. If my ungrateful grandsons could be half as considerate and conscientious as her, things wouldn’t be like this… ”

The housekeeper hurriedly tried to cheer him up, “Sir, you promised not to be upset anymore, didn’t you promise the three little masters and the little miss?”

Mr. Lewis took a few sips of tea to catch his breath before speaking to Richelle.

“Richelle, on behalf of the Lewis family, I apologize for what happened today. You’ve done so much for our family and made countless sacrifices. We all appreciate it, and everyone in the Lewis family should be grateful to you! You stood up during Roy’s special situation, taking on all the responsibilities and hardships. I’m really sorry about it. It’s my fault that I, an old man, didn’t educate my descendants properly, and that they’ve turned out so heartless and ungrateful.”

Of course, Richelle hated Alexander Lewis.

But the blame had a clear source, and she couldn’t bring herself to blame Mr. Lewis for it.

“Grandpa, I know how good you’ve been to me and the three children. Today’s incident has nothing to do with you, so don’t feel guilty or get upset because of it. Your health is much more important than Alexander and the others.”

Mr. Lewis sighed again, “If only they had your empathy and devotion, today’s incident wouldn’t have happened. Don’t worry, I will give you a satisfactory explanation for Alexander’s actions. For now, I have removed him from all his positions in Lewis Group. An official announcement will be made tomorrow. In addition, the shares that should have been inherited by him will be transferred to your name as compensation.”

Richelle thought that removing Alexander from his position was the most severe punishment Mr. Lewis could impose. However, Mr. Lewis also revoked Alexander’s inheritance rights.

No wonder Roy said he trusted Mr. Lewis.

This swift and ruthless decision-making was indeed well-deserved.

And it seemed that Roy’s ways were clearly inherited from Mr. Lewis!

“Grandpa, I understand removing him from his position, but maybe you should discuss the matter of revoking his inheritance rights with Roy before making a decision.”

Mr. Lewis raised his hand in a dismissive gesture.

“The shares belong to me, and I can give them to whoever I please. Nobody has the right to complain. Of course, if all my grandchildren were getting along, I would prefer a fair and just distribution. After all, they all share part of my blood. But if they don’t cherish it and want to ruin themselves, they can’t blame me for being heartless!”

In fact, Mr. Lewis had a thousand ways to punish Alexander, but none of the thousand methods was more ruthless and painful than removing him from his position and revoking his inheritance rights.

Richelle knew that Mr. Lewis’s mind was made up, so she said,

“Since you’ve decided, Grandpa, I’ll take the liberty of suggesting that Alexander’s inheritance rights be divided equally among my children. How about that?”

Richelle thought that Mr. Lewis would readily agree.

To her surprise, Mr. Lewis shook his head and said,

“That won’t work! This is the mistake Alexander made, and what he should compensate you is rightfully yours. Of course, once these shares are in your hands, it’s up to you how to distribute them or transfer them to someone else. I won’t interfere.”

Richelle then realized that Mr. Lewis was doing this to quiet the other Lewis family members.

If he directly transferred the shares to the three children, the Lewis family would surely gossip, accusing Mr. Lewis of implicitly transferring shares from his other grandchildren to Timmy and his siblings.

That would be a blatant display of “favoritism”!

Instead of punishing Alexander, this would provide him with an opportunity to slander Mr. Lewis.

But if Mr. Lewis transferred the inheritance rights to Richelle, not only would he punish Alexander, but he would also tell the Lewis family not to bully Richelle just because her last name wasn’t Lewis.

“Grandpa, I understand. Let’s do it your way.”

Mr. Lewis nodded, took a few more sips of tea, ate a piece of snack, and then looked around.

“Where’s Roy? Did he fall asleep after you gave him acupuncture?”

Richelle nodded towards the study, “He’s busy in there. These days, he’s been working overtime so that he can personally accompany Tifanny to the competition. But Tifanny is still young, and there will be plenty of chances for her to participate in such events later, so it’s not that urgent actually!”

Mr. Lewis sighed and said,

“I understand Roy’s thoughts on this matter.”

Richelle raised her eyebrows, waiting for Mr. Lewis to continue.

Mr. Lewis asked her, “You know about Roy’s father, right?”

Richelle nodded, “Yes, he’s told me.”

Mr. Lewis sighed, “When Roy was rescued after being kidnapped, everything seemed the same as before. His grandmother and I thought he didn’t understand the pain of losing a father because he was still young. It wasn’t until later, when he found all the people involved in the kidnapping, that I realized how much the incident had scarred him as a child.”
