Triple Blessings: Mr. Fu's Passionate Pursuit

Chapter 755: Chapter 751: The two almost dueled on the spot for you!

“On the third day of Roy Lewis’s business trip, Richelle Dunn brought up her intention to purchase Dunn Industries in a phone call with Royce Gyons.

Richelle assumed that there would be no resistance from United Ventures, thinking that Royce would fully support her.

Instead, Royce flat out rejected her.

“No, I do not agree!”

Richelle froze for a moment, eventually realizing that she had been rejected by Royce.

“Why, Mr. Gyons? Strictly speaking, I am merely utilizing my own assets to buy Dunn Industries. You just have to allow Denise Munni to negotiate on behalf of the company. This won’t cause any losses or pose any investment risks for the company, right?”

However, Royce responded, “How could there not be investment risks? Your plan is to use your shares in United Ventures to acquire Dunn Industries, and then fully remove yourself from United Ventures, correct?”

Richelle was taken aback, “Who said I was leaving United Ventures? Of course, if Mr. Gyons were to fire me, that’s a different story.”

Visibly frustrated, Royce retorted, “Who said I was firing you? Isn’t it you who wants to leave? Why else would you be going through all this trouble?”

Richelle, unaware of what was going on in his mind, assured him, “I promise, even if the acquisition is successful, as long as you don’t fire me, I will stick with United Ventures for the rest of my life.”

But even with Richelle’s assurance, Royce still refused to give in.

“I will think it over!”

With that, he hung up the phone.

Seldom had Richelle seen Royce in such a state. Later in the evening, when she was idly chatting with Denise, she couldn’t help but grumble about Royce.

“Is he going through a midlife crisis or what? His mood is so unpredictable. If I didn’t know any better, I’d think I had offended him somehow.”

Denise clicked her tongue, “Didn’t you actually offend him?”

Richelle objected loudly, “What have I done recently? All I did was ask him to lend his secretary to ‘usurp your power’ for a vote. He agreed to this readily at the time. It was mutually beneficial, the company didn’t suffer any losses. How could that offend him?”

Seeing that her words were going nowhere, Denise decided to be forthright.

“You didn’t directly offend him, but your husband did!”

“My husband?” Richelle wasn’t accustomed to hearing the term “husband” from others and subconsciously questioned, “You mean Roy Lewis?”

Denise gasped, “Apart from Master Lewis, do you have another husband?”

Just as speechless, Richelle responded, “How could there possibly be another?”

“That’s what I thought!” Denise paused before adding, “Seems like you don’t know that your husband warned Royce privately during his meeting with a group of industry moguls in South Asia!”

“What?”

Richelle felt like she had just heard a ludicrous joke, “Denise, where did you hear such ridiculous rumors?”

Richelle considered herself to be very well-acquainted with Roy Lewis. Although he was decisive at work, he was always polite and beyond reproach in his interactions with others.

But the thought of him privately warning Royce seemed rather disgraceful and incompatible with Roy Lewis’s usual courteous and meticulous temperament.

Denise rolled her eyes at her, “What ridiculous rumor? If you don’t believe me, you can ask Master Lewis himself tonight.”

Richelle was certainly planning to ask him, but before doing so, she needed to clear up one thing.

“What did he warn Royce about?”

Denise wore a look of indescribable reluctance.

“Out with it! He didn’t say anything indecent, did he?”

While Richelle asked this, she was quite confident that Roy Lewis would not!

“Not quite!”

Denise was being candid.

“Oh god, just spit it out already, you’re driving me crazy!”

Finally, Denise said, “He told Royce that he was married to you and asked him to stay away from you in the future.”

Damn!

Richelle rubbed her forehead.

It looked like she should not have told Roy Lewis about this beforehand.

But she didn’t expect that right after she told him, Roy Lewis would fly to South Asia the next day, and coincidentally run into Royce there.

What she found even more unexpected was that Roy Lewis, despite this being old news, responded as if he had drunk a jug of vinegar.

“I really am…”

Richelle couldn’t even find the words to describe how she was feeling.

After a pause, she asked.

“And what was Royce’s reaction?”

Denise replied honestly, “What else could he do? The two of them almost started a duel over you on the spot!”

Richelle let out a long breath, if she had known that Royce would take it this seriously, she would never have gone into so much detail with him.

But what could she do? Given Royce’s mouth, if she hadn’t said anything that day, he definitely would have exaggerated the situation considerably when he met Roy Lewis.

So, compared to that, wasn’t this outcome actually better?

“They didn’t really start fighting, did they?”

“Of course not, where they were, if they had really started to fight, wouldn’t you have become the first lady of international disgrace?”

Richelle wasn’t getting her meaning, “What do you mean ‘first lady of international disgrace’?”

“The first woman to incite a world leader to have a physical clash with a rival over her during an international meeting.”

This time, it was Richelle’s turn to roll her eyes.

“Shut it, you! All you do is fabricate things about me!”

Denise harrumphed, “You got to be worth the effort to fabricate things about.”
