Triple Blessings: Mr. Fu’s Passionate Pursuit-Chapter 690 - 686: Ding, Jealous Master Lewis Comes Online

Chapter 690: Chapter 686: Ding, Jealous Master Lewis Comes Online

After not seeing each other for a while and discussing the heavy topics of parental responsibilities, the conversation finally returned to the main issue.

“Tell me, why did you come to see me?”

Richelle Dunn was very busy. If it was simply to deliver local specialties, it would have been much simpler to send them through a driver.

Coming in person probably meant there was something she couldn’t say over the phone.

Richelle indeed had a favor to ask, “I would like to ask for your and Vanessa’s help! You can name any price as a reward, but the risk is extremely high!”

Throughout their alliance, Richelle never mentioned any of the tasks she had done for their client to Hugo Camrey.

First, it was a rule of confidentiality, and everyone had to follow it unconditionally.

Second, being in the dark about such dangerous matters was actually a life-saving measure.

Nowadays, obtaining intelligence was increasingly difficult for Richelle, as the systems she infiltrated were becoming more and more classified.

Without hesitation, Hugo replied, “I’m in for sure. Just let me know when you need me. As for Vanessa, I’ll discuss it with her.”

Richelle nodded, “If she’s not up for it, that’s fine. By the way, is she married?”

If Vanessa was married and had children, Richelle would refrain from asking for her assistance.

Hugo shook his head, “No, she’s single. And an orphan.”

Richelle sighed, “Alright. Talk to her, but don’t downplay the seriousness of the situation.”

Hugo nodded, “What level of confidentiality is this?”

Richelle didn’t have to think twice, “Top level!”

Hugo sucked in a breath and asked her with a serious expression.

“Is the other party reliable?”

Hackers who had been betrayed by their clients were not unheard of. Hence, the more dangerous the task, the more cautious they were.

Richelle was equally confident, “Don’t worry, they are absolutely reliable.”

Hugo asked another question, “Does it concern national and public welfare?”

Richelle nodded, “Yes, but we are just ordinary people. We don’t have to think too much about it, nor do we have any great obligations or responsibilities. So, you and Vanessa, think it through carefully.”

Recently, Richelle had been at her wit’s end as she could confirm that her opponents were not just a single expert but an entire highly-skilled and well-coordinated team.

It was already impressive that she managed to hold her own against them, but trying to steal intelligence right under their noses had become increasingly difficult.

However, she had recently come up with a plan that involved collaboration among the three of them, requiring a deep understanding and rapport among the group.

The only people with whom she had such rapport and understanding were Hugo and Vanessa, and she could think of no one else.

Still, she did not tell Hugo that it had to be the two of them.

She didn’t want to use emotions to tie anyone down.

Hugo agreed, “Alright, I’ll talk to her later. At the latest, I’ll give you an answer tonight.”

Richelle said, “Thank you!”, and after a few more casual conversations, she got up and left.

When Richelle returned home, Roy Lewis was in his study discussing work with Nathan Caroule.

Richelle went to take a shower, had a little something to eat, and when she came back to the study, she found Roy Lewis alone.

Roy naturally reached out to pull her closer, asking with concern. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

“How did it go? Was everything smooth?”

Richelle sat sideways on the desk with her feet off the ground, swinging her legs.

“It went well with Harris. It’s just that Denise is a little upset and said she won’t talk to me until tomorrow noon.”

Roy laughed, “Pfft!”, sometimes he really couldn’t comprehend the friendship between Richelle and Denise Munni.

Their interaction was like that of young girls, childish and frank.

But at the same time, it was the most simple and comfortable way of interacting.

“How about this? I’ll pay for a romantic anniversary trip for her and Nathan. What do you think?”

Richelle thought it over and found it to be a viable option.

She leaned in, cupped Roy’s face, and planted a big kiss.

“Thank you, Master Lewis, for your generosity!”

Roy Lewis transferred US$ 136,700 to her, and Richelle booked a US$ 13,700 short romantic trip for Denise and Nathan. She then sent the QR code directly to Denise.

Denise replied quickly.

Denise: “I accept the romantic trip, thank you! But I have to remind you, I’m very principled! No disturbances until tomorrow noon!”

Richelle: “OK, as you wish!”

After sending the message, Richelle put her phone down on the desk.

When Roy saw her reaction, he thought his idea hadn’t worked.

He raised an eyebrow and asked her, “What, Ms. Munni didn’t like it?”

Richelle shook her head with a smile, “How could she not like it?”

Roy was a bit puzzled, “Then why did you put the phone down?”

Usually, the two of them could chat for quite a while, and it was rare for them to end the conversation so quickly and neatly.

“She likes it, but she’s still not going to be happy until tomorrow noon!” Richelle explained.

Roy shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he couldn’t understand the friendship between young girls.

“By the way, where did you go just now? Why did you come back so late?”

Richelle secretly grumbled in her heart, what was bound to come would eventually come.

“I went to the hospital to visit my grandfather and stayed with him for over half an hour…”

Roy stared at her, “I know that, the hospital director told me!”

Richelle felt helpless, but knew that since he had been confined at home for so long, his sense of security had diminished.

“After leaving the hospital, I took some local specialties to Hugo, talked for a while, and then came back.”

Actually, she knew that Roy was well aware of her whereabouts.

However, hearing it from her own mouth seemed to hold a different meaning for him.

Roy’s eyes filled with jealousy, “Oh… so you went to see Hugo…”
