Triple Blessings: Mr. Fu’s Passionate Pursuit-Chapter 652 - 648: Trying to Seize Power and Usurp the Throne
Chapter 652: Chapter 648: Trying to Seize Power and Usurp the Throne
Richelle Dunn was talking with Nathan Caroule when a ruckus could be heard from outside.
Soon, the door to the CEO’s office was abruptly pushed open.
A man in his thirties strode in with intense enthusiasm. novelbuddy.cσ๓
“Richelle Dunn!”
The man’s tone was incredibly unfriendly. Richelle looked at him puzzled, about to ask who he was when Nathan stepped forward, positioning himself between the man and her.
“Mr. Alexander, if there’s something you’d like to talk about, let’s sit down and discuss it.”
After saying that, he turned to introduce the man to Richelle.
“Dr. Dunn, this is Alexander Lewis, the eldest son from Mr. Lewis’ family.”
At the recognition banquet for Timothy and Tifanny to acknowledge their lineage, only two of Roy Lewis’ several cousins showed up.
Richelle didn’t pay much attention to this, but when Roy found out, his face fell.
“They’re not taking you seriously at all!”
At the time, Richelle comforted him, “Who cares about them? I don’t need to please them to make a living. On the contrary, they will have to please me from now on. They might regret it later!”
What Richelle said was meant to soothe Roy.
Now, anyone not blind could see that Alexander Lewis arrived with ill-intent.
Richelle calmly met Alexander’s furious gaze, nonchalantly asking him.
“What’s the matter?”
There were only a few members of the Lewis family that Richelle has met, but she remembered names even of those she hadn’t.
It’s not that she made a deliberate effort to remember, she just never forgets things.
Alexander Lewis is a year younger than Roy and is the general manager in a subsidiary company.
Compared to his father, he is quite competent.
Hence, Roy has always been reasonably fair to him.
Perhaps because his father is currently imprisoned with an uncertain future, and he firmly believes Roy is down and out, he seems to have developed the sense of being the boss of their generation.
“Richelle Dunn, don’t assume you can do whatever you want with Grandpa backing you.”
Richelle was perplexed, this man came out of nowhere and pinned a serious accusation on her.
“You must’ve got it wrong. I am the CEO not because Grandpa is backing me up, but because Roy transferred all of his shares and assets to me. Together with my three children’s shares, I’m now the largest shareholder of Lewis Group. Isn’t it shocking that you are unaware of such crucial information?”
Richelle usually didn’t put on airs, but when necessary, she could hold her head higher than anyone else.
Alexander was taken aback by her response and recollected himself after a moment, regaining his arrogance.
“Richelle Dunn, you’re just a puppet, and people in the Lewis group bow to you only because of the shares you hold. Without them, you’d be nothing!”
Richelle was fascinated by his assertion.
“Alexander Lewis, and if you lost your Lewis shares, who do you think you would be? The reputation and prestige of the Lewis Group in the past decade have been primarily due to Roy’s efforts, allowing you to strut around using the name of the Lewis. Now that he met an accident and can’t show up any longer, are all of you coming out, hoping to seize power and usurp his position?”
Alexander had not expected Richelle would dare to speak up.
Being exposed filled him with embarrassment and anger.
“Richelle Dunn, be clear today, you deliberately targeted me for the factory incident, didn’t you?”
Richelle was baffled and turned her gaze to Nathan.

“Nathan, at the meeting just now, you didn’t announce any investigation results, did you?”
Nathan nodded in affirmation, “Indeed, we didn’t.”
He turned to Alexander, “When the meeting was over, didn’t we say that the cause of the accident was unclear and further investigations were needed? It seems that your name never came up, Mr. Alexander.”
What Nathan said was plainly hinting at Alexander’s guilt and instead of admitting his fault, he was playing the victim first.
Alexander’s face turned even more unsightly when he saw he was cornered.
“Nathan Caroule, you’re just a paid foreigner, believe it or not, I can get you fired.”
Nathan just laughed it off.
“Mr. Alexander, I really don’t believe that. I was directly appointed by the CEO. Apart from Richelle and the old chairman, no one has the power to fire me. On the other hand, as a general manager of a division, I can fire you anytime!”
Having worked with Roy for so many years, Nathan’s power and tactics were beyond the reach of ordinary people.
As for these Lewis family first and second-generation members, who came to stir up trouble, the occurrence of such events was all too common. But Roy had always stood up for him, plus with his ability and performance, Nathan had gradually won the recognition of the Lewis Group employees.
To be honest, the only people he respected and obeyed at the Lewis Group were the old man and Roy.
Now, add Richelle Dunn and the two young masters.
As for other members of the Lewis family, he might give them some face when in a good mood.
But if he wasn’t in a good mood, and these people happened to have given him some ammunition, then the affluent youngsters of the Lewis family had no way to avoid trouble.
“Nathan Caroule, don’t think it’s like before! Without Roy to back you up, you are nothing!”
Richelle was holding actual shares in her hands, and she could indeed run over Alexander if she decided to play hard.
But Nathan was just an outsider, right?
Despite drawing a petty annual salary, he talked big.
Alexander thought he had Nathan in his grasp. However, Richelle clicked her tongue.
“Nathan doesn’t need Roy to back him up, with me backing him up, it’s enough!”
