Chapter 553: Chapter 549: The Prestigious Mr. Dunn
Translator: 549690339 I
After Richelie Dunn had signed the papers, the main purpose of this banquet was essentially achieved.
Richelle Dunn came down from the podium with her three children, and the congratulatory guests streamed in one after another.
Clearly, being the agent of the CEO of the Lewis Group or the mother of Mr. Lewis’s three great-grandsons paled in comparison to the awe-struck moment when she held the substantial shares of the Lewis Group.
“Congratulations, Mr. Dunn, please take care of us in the future.”
“Mr. Dunn, I’m from the Lion Group…”
While Richelle Dunn was dealing with the endless stream of guests, she sighed helplessly.
From now on, she would no longer be Richelle Dunn, but Mr. Dunn of the Lewis Group.
It only took a moment for her to feel the heaviness of the title.
Thinking of Roy Lewis who carried this title for more than ten years, she didn’t know whether he’d ever felt suffocated as she does now.
Thankfully, she would only bear this title until Roy Lewis returns.
Otherwise, she would have gone crazy from carrying it even for a year, let alone a lifetime.
The fickle nature of people was apparent not only in the banquet guests but surprisingly in Aldo Lewis and his siblings too.
They may have tried to resist just now.
But with the facts now set in stone, and most importantly, knowing that Richelle accepted assets from Roy Lewis, not old Mr. Lewis, they were quickly able to accept the reality after their bouts of jealousy.
In the Lewis Group from now on, the most influential person would likely be Richelle, not Mr. Lewis.
It’s natural now to strike while the iron is hot, and it’s high time to curry favor.
“Richelle, please take care of me in the future. Of course, if you need help with anything, just say it, as long as I can do it, I’ll do my utmost to help.”
Richelle Dunn looked at this man who had never given her a pleasant look since they met, and in her heart, she felt disgusted.
However, as much as she disliked him, she couldn’t show it in such a public setting.
“I appreciate it in advance!”
Aldo Lewis held two cups of wine and handed one to Richelle Dunn.
“Here’s to you, I toast to your new appointment.”
Richelle Dunn did not accept it and turned him down very directly.
“I’m sorry, I have to take care of three children. It’s inconvenient for me to drink.”
Aldo Lewis wanted to say something, but Nathan Caroule appeared out of nowhere and took the wine he offered.
“Mr. Lewis, it’s indeed inconvenient for Dr. Dunn to drink. Otherwise, who would handle it if the little masters and miss began to cry?”
But in reality, Timothy, Tifanny, and Timmy were long past the age of crying.
However, the mischief peaks around the age of five, so his excuse was plausible.
Aldo Lewis had no choice but to drink the toast with Nathan.
Afterwards, Nathan followed Richelle around the banquet, pouring wine for her and keeping away guests she did not want to engage.
The banquet, which began in the afternoon, did not end until the evening when all the guests had departed.
Mr. Lewis, along with the three children, were escorted home by their bodyguards around four o’clock. The entire event was managed by Richelle Dunn, Nathan Caroule, the butler, and a few other high-ranking officers.
As members of the Lewis family, Aldo Lewis and his sister should have also played the role of hosts.
However, they brought it upon themselves. Their recent mess was cleaned up by Roy Lewis using heavy-handed methods, selling all the overseas assets to fill the funding gap left by their failed investments. Their folly had become the laughing stock for the entire Federation.
They were born into the most powerful family, with the most promising futures.
But in the end, they turned out to be the most prodigal sons of rich families.
In this banquet, all the respect was directed at Richelle Dunn and her three kids. The siblings Aldo, on the other hand, were completely ignored by their grandfather.
The guests, who were all savvy, could tell from the rumors and Mr. Lewis’s attitude that the siblings Aldo were already marginalized.
In the future, apart from receiving dividends from their shares, they essentially have no position in the Lewis Group or the Lewis family.
Of course, even the share dividends alone could make them wealthy.
But there were many rich people out there.
Yet those with wealth and power were only a handful who seemed countable.
Hence, in this banquet, Richelle Dunn and her children were pushed to the highest positions in both the Lewis Group and Lewis family.
In stark contrast, the social standing of Aldo Lewis and his siblings has taken a hit.
This banquet seems to have stripped away the shield of protection that their status as members of the Lewis family once provided.
Before the banquet, Aldo Lewis carried the prestigious title of Mr. Lewis.
After the banquet, he was only a middle-aged, relatively wealthy man named Lewis.
Hence, the people who sent off the guests at the end were mainly Richelle Dunn and Nathan Caroule.
When Richelle Dunn arrived home, she was utterly drained and collapsed on the couch.
The three little ones who went home earlier and had rested well, very thoughtfully brought out a foot bath. They asked Uncle Axel to bring the brewed Chinese medicine and pour it into the foot bath.
As soon as Richelle Dunn smelled it, she knew what it was.
However, she pretended not to know and asked the kids.
“Darlings, what did you pour into this tub?”
Tifanny giggled.
“Mommy, this is the medicine that you usually brew for our foot baths!”
