Chapter 668: Chapter 664: Their Whole Family, All Short-lived Ghosts!
Roy Lewis turned his head to look at him, “Have you forgotten? The Lewis’ Village still has many industries!”
Alexander Lewis thought Roy had some big plan. Hearing this, his face couldn’t help but show disappointment.
“Uncle, the industries in the Lewis’ Village might be a lot of money for ordinary people, but they’re not enough for us!”
Roy Lewis laughed and pointed at him, “You little guy, everyone usually praises you for being smart. How did you become so dumb today?”
Alexander Lewis frowned, “What do you mean? Although I’ve never been involved, I’ve seen the annual reports, and the profit share is just a little bit. It’s not enough for us to stuff our teeth!”
Roy Lewis burst into laughter and then whacked Alexander on the head.
“Of course, normal business profits aren’t enough for us to stuff our teeth, but aren’t there many profitable businesses in this world?”
Alexander Lewis’s eyes widened, “Uncle, you mean…”
Roy Lewis nodded, “Yes, just what you’re thinking!”
Alexander Lewis frowned and thought for a while before shaking his head.
“It won’t work. The Thompsons are now with the Lilliputs, right? They and the Greens are mortal enemies!”
Roy Lewis smacked his forehead again, “Foolish boy, why do you think Kennedy Green protected the Lewis family? Wasn’t it because his sister and her nephew? Now that his nephew is dead, do you think he will still protect the Lewis family?”
The Lewis family has not participated in politics for many years on the surface.
But to grow the business, they needed the support of a reliable force. How else could the Lewis family remain unyielding for a hundred years?
However, these allegiances were done secretly until Kennedy Green abandoned his business for politics, bringing this matter to light.
Now, across the East Asia Federation and even neighboring countries, no one doesn’t associate The Lewis and the Greens together.
Because of this, Alexander Lewis had the misconception that the Lewis family and the Greens were permanently tied together.
But now that Roy Lewis has reminded him, he came to his senses.
The bond between the Lewis family and the Greens was severed the moment Roy died.
“But there are still three children…”
When he said that, Alexander Lewis was full of uncertainty.
Roy Lewis heard the hesitation in his words and sneered.
“How long can those three kids live? After all, they’re a family of short-lived ghosts!”
Alexander Lewis looked thoughtful as he stared at the sea.
After a while, he carefully asked Roy Lewis.
“Uncle, don’t tell me you’ve already taken action…”
Roy Lewis patted his shoulder, “Kid, some things are not what we want to do. It’s because Roy and his stinking mother pushed us to desperation that we had no choice but to do it.”
Alexander Lewis looked at him incredulously. He always thought that this uncle of his was the most timid and well-behaved among their siblings.
Turns out he’s a real hidden master!
“But didn’t Richelle Dunn kill several subordinates to make an example not long ago? Now, who dares to act rashly in the village?”
Roy Lewis glanced at him, “I’m asking you, do you have the willingness? Don’t worry about anything else!”
Alexander Lewis frowned, “Uncle, have you ever thought that once the Thompsons and Lilliputs get involved, our hundred-year-old Lewis family’s reputation will be tainted?”
Roy Lewis sneered, “Fool, with money, what can’t be whitewashed? Besides, if we don’t even have money to spend ourselves, what does the Lewis family’s reputation have to do with us?”
Alexander Lewis was silent, apparently still holding on to his last bottom line.
Roy Lewis didn’t want to scold him for being foolish anymore. Instead, he used reality to give Alexander a lesson.
“You don’t really think that the Thompsons rose to such wealth within just twenty years because they were daring, adventurous, and lucky, do you?”
Alexander Lewis looked up at him.
“Fifteen years ago, when President Gregory came to power, his daughter-in-law was a Thompson. During his two terms and six years in office, the Thompsons’ assets have multiplied several times. Nine years ago, when the Bailes were in power, the Thompsons’ son married a Baile daughter. You don’t know all this, do you?”
In the past, when information wasn’t so developed and the Thompson family was very low-key, many of their private connections were only unearthed after the president stepped down.
Alexander suddenly thought of Diana Thompson.
“So when Uncle married Diana Thompson, was it because of Grandfather…?”
Roy Lewis shook his head, “No, that was truly an accident. Although your Uncle was promiscuous, he was actually quite devoted during his youth. He met Diana Thompson abroad, and both were using their English names, so they had no idea their families were the Lewis and Thompson families.”
Alexander Lewis looked puzzled, “But when they returned, wouldn’t Grandfather find out? Grandfather doesn’t seem like someone who would tolerate this.”
Roy Lewis explained, “Diana Thompson herself never got involved in those matters, and besides, she was already pregnant with Edbert when they returned!”
