Chapter 712: Chapter 708: You want the position of President at Lewis Group? You give it?
Richelle Dunn had foreseen that Roy Lewis would be furious, so she hurriedly tried to appease him.
“Roy, listen to me, the situation is not too bad right now. From what the principal has told us, Alexander Lewis seems to want to get some money and run away. I’ve already informed Nathan Caroule to prepare the cash, and also, to have the pilot get the plane ready near the school. You can stay in touch with me on the phone for any specific instructions!”
Roy, however, had already gone upstairs to change his clothes, “No, I have to go to the scene myself, I want to kill him with my own hands!”
Richelle sighed in secret, knowing that she couldn’t persuade him, and said,
“Then disguise yourself a bit and have the driver stay hidden when you leave. Stay in touch on the way.”
Richelle hung up the phone, and Nathan, who had been worrying on the side, looked at her apprehensively.
“Is Roy coming?”
Richelle nodded her head gravely, “Yes, now it all depends on Tifanny…”
Now all she could do was pray that Tifanny could maintain some measure of calm. That way, she might have some ability to protect herself and escape.
Otherwise…
Richelle didn’t dare to think further.
“What is Alexander Lewis like normally, in terms of character and temperament?”
Although Alexander Lewis had been a frequent topic of discussion lately, Richelle still didn’t know much about him.
Nathan thought for a moment and summed up,
“He’s usually quite steady, but I never expected him to be so terrifying when he gets paranoid!”
From the moment Alexander Lewis started spreading rumors about an inappropriate relationship between Nathan and Richelle, he had gone down a dark path with no turning back.
“Is he easily angered? Is he very cunning?”
Actually, if anyone understood Alexander Lewis, it would be Roy – certainly more than Nathan.
But Richelle was afraid that Roy would be overwhelmed by anger and hatred, leading him to do something irrational and impulsive.
“His cunning runs deep, and he is not easily angered. However, this was true of the person he used to be. Now, he’s like a completely different person.”
Nathan’s words made sense.
Once a person loses their reason, they are no longer the same as they were in their normal state.
Both of them discussed the situation as they journeyed. Along the way, the principal sent over more pictures, a short video, and messages.
Richelle opened them and saw Alexander Lewis still sitting on the rooftop with Tifanny in his arms. Tifanny seemed calm, her face, hands, and feet all clean and tidy.
It looked like Alexander Lewis hadn’t caused her too much suffering.
But even so, Richelle still felt as if her heart was being sliced open, wishing she could take Tifanny’s place in enduring the pain.
She forwarded the pictures and video to Roy, and he quickly sent a voice message in response.
“I’m already on my way in an RV. Also, I’ve arranged for some snipers to go there immediately. I will communicate with the police and Delroy so don’t worry too much.”
Roy’s tone had calmed down significantly since the beginning of the conversation.
But Richelle knew that with the snipers in place, Roy wouldn’t give Alexander Lewis any way out or chance for survival.
“Alright, we’ll follow your arrangements and instructions for how to proceed!”
From the moment she heard about Tifanny’s accident, Richelle had been straining to remain calm, because she knew that the less composed she was, the more danger Tifanny would be in.
But in reality, her palms were sweating, and the clothes on her back were soaked through.
Now, hearing Roy say that he would direct and arrange everything, she let out a sigh of relief, leaning back on her chair, exhausted.
The half-hour car ride seemed extremely long.
Fortunately, Alexander Lewis had remained relatively calm, not hurting Tifanny in any way.
Clearly, he wanted to gather more bargaining chips.
Richelle’s car arrived at the entrance of the teaching building.
As soon as the incident occurred, the principal had the teachers evacuate the other children from the building. All that was left were Alexander Lewis holding Tifanny on the rooftop, a few bodyguards standing downstairs, and Timmy and Timothy.
As soon as Richelle got out of the car, Timmy and Timothy rushed over.
“Mommy, I can go up and swap places with Tifanny!”
The two brothers spoke in unison, saying the exact same thing.
Richelle patted their heads, “We have to believe in your sister, okay?”
But as she reassured her sons with her words, her heart was heavy and filled with fear.
Seeing her beloved daughter sitting on the rooftop of a ten-story building, Richelle wished she could just grab a knife and rush up there to slay Alexander Lewis a thousand times over!
“Richelle Dunn!”
Alexander Lewis suddenly grabbed a bullhorn and started yelling at the people downstairs.
Richelle hurriedly took the bullhorn from Delroy’s hand, “Alexander Lewis, as long as you let Tifanny come down safely right now, I’ll give you whatever you want!”
Alexander Lewis laughed, “Everything? So if I ask for your shares in the Lewis Group and the position of President, you’ll give it to me too?”
Without hesitation, Richelle replied, “Yes, I’ll give it all to you!”
For Richelle, those shares in the Lewis Group had never held much significance.
Of course, it was different for Roy.
But Richelle was sure that if Roy had to choose, he would pick Tifanny over clinging to the shares and the Lewis Group.
“Haha, you can say anything you want now, but don’t think I don’t know that you’re just trying to deceive me and get me to let my guard down!”
