Chapter 710: Chapter 706: Let my granddaughter-in-law accompany some old geezers for dinner? Dream on!

The matter of Lodiva Group was successfully resolved.

Subsequently, several directors who had previously vehemently supported Aldo Lewis began to send various gifts to Richelle Dunn, including bags and jewelry.

However, Richelle returned all the gifts.

One of the directors who had communicated with Mr. Lewis in the past called him up again.

“Mr. Lewis, we admit that we were impulsive about the Lodiva Group issue, but we didn’t know the whole truth. After listening to Mr. Aldo’s analysis, we felt that it was our duty as directors to exercise our oversight properly. That’s why we made those requests.”

“In fact, after Mr. Dunn’s explanation, we realized that it wasn’t that Richelle made decisions unilaterally. On the contrary, it was her keen insight and ability to see through the opponent’s schemes that saved us from losses.”

Mr. Lewis pretended to be ignorant, “Oh, is that so? Are you calling to praise Richelle? I thought she did something to displease you again!.”

The director felt awkward and forced out a laugh.

“Haha, of course! We’re praising Richelle! She’s smart and capable, and it’s an honor to have her as our new leader.”

Mr. Lewis laughed along.

“It’s good that you think this way. I went through the trouble of persuading her to take on this responsibility. I’ll let her know about your thoughts. Unless there’s anything else, can I go play chess with my old friends now?”

The director hurriedly spoke before Mr. Lewis could hang up.

“Mr. Lewis, we might have been too serious that day, and we’re afraid Richelle might misinterpret our intentions. So, the directors have discussed and would like to ask for your help. Can you please tell her that we sincerely want to invite her to dinner as an apology, and we hope she can grace us with her presence?”

Mr. Lewis thought to himself: A beautiful woman like my daughter-in-law having dinner with a group of old men? No way!

Not only would his grandson never agree to it, but neither would he!

“Forget it, Richelle is busy, and she doesn’t lack food. In the future, just leave her some face and stop opposing her. Neither of us are interested in dinner, right?”

The director, feeling flat-out rejected, could only laugh awkwardly.

Mr. Lewis felt he hadn’t been harsh enough, so he continued.

“Tell everyone this – my daughter-in-law may look beautiful and delicate, but she’s just as clever and ruthless as Roy. This is my final warning to you, don’t do anything foolish again, or even I won’t be able to save you!”

Mr. Lewis had finally made himself clear.

The director quickly apologized and said a few more flattering words before hanging up.

After this battle, Richelle’s prestige within the Lewis Group rose even higher.

The Lewis family was full of exceptional people.

Their seemingly ordinary days were always more turbulent than others.

However, all three children and Richelle had long since adapted to the ups and downs of their daily lives.

So, life went on for about a month with little incident.

The weather gradually became cooler.

Autumn was approaching.

The Federation government’s joint action plan with Leutonia and neighboring countries was almost ready.

One evening, Richelle and Mr. Lewis were discussing the Mid-Autumn Festival arrangements in the living room.

Roy Lewis joined the conversation.

“Let’s go to the countryside for the Mid-Autumn Festival! We can find a scenic resort and let the kids take a couple of days off.”

Richelle didn’t know about Roy’s ultimate plan, so she just looked at him quizzically.

“You’ll have more freedom during the Mid-Autumn Festival?”

Roy could not be too explicit, so he just nodded.

“Yes, you and the kids can decide on the arrangements. Include my uncle’s family too. Or consider going out on a yacht to enjoy the full moon. It’s all up to you.”

Richelle happily relayed the news to the children, who were overjoyed at the prospect of spending the Mid-Autumn Festival together as a family.

During this time, it seemed that Roy was the only one who needed to stay hidden.

However, Richelle and the three children had also deliberately minimized their outings due to safety concerns and out of consideration for Roy’s feelings.

Roy had advised Richelle several times to take the kids out as usual, but the children had all declined the idea, choosing to stay home and keep their father company.

Now that Roy was about to regain his freedom, their family would soon return to their happy, balanced lifestyle.

The children were even more enthusiastic than usual about making preparations for the festival. With Richelle’s help, they bought various lanterns and decorations to make the house lively and filled with childlike charm.

At first, Richelle was worried that Mr. Lewis and Roy would be annoyed by the children’s taste in decor. Surprisingly, both of them were very satisfied with the arrangement.

They agreed that being in such a space made them feel younger!
