Richelle Dunn didn’t understand his intention.

“Why?”

Roy Lewis hugged her waist, “Your work will inspire more talented people to strive forward, and by doing so, the overall level of the industry will be significantly improved.”

Richelle laughed, “Master Lewis, it sounds like you think I’m definitely going to win the grand prize.”

Roy leaned in and kissed her lips.

“So, do you want to bet with me?”

Richelle felt this might be a trap, but still asked him, “What’s the bet?”

Roy Lewis smiled.

“I bet you can win the grand prize, and you bet you can’t!”

Richelle sneered.

“How lacking in self-confidence must I be to bet against myself winning!”

Roy raised his eyebrows, “Well, weren’t you just doubting yourself a moment ago?”

Richelle didn’t mind losing a bet to him, even if it was just to make him happy.

“Alright, then let’s say I lack confidence. So, what do we bet?”

Roy looked at her with a smile.

“How about I bet one ‘do whatever I want’?”

Richelle clicked her tongue and punched him softly on the shoulder.

Of course, she didn’t hit too hard.

“You sure have a pretty imagination. It’s my hard work that’s winning something, yet you’re the one getting a reward, and apparently, it involves me!”

Roy pinched her cheek, “Sweetheart, I never said I could do whatever I wanted with you, why did you jump to conclusions so quickly?”

Richelle admitted that when it came to scheming, she could practice for a hundred years and still not catch up with this cunning old fox.

“Fine, whatever you say!”

Richelle was generous, since this man had been restricted since childhood, so let him indulge himself for once.

Roy was quite happy, his eyes squinting with laughter.

“Alright, what about you? If you win, what do you want?”

Richelle gave a bitter smile, “If I win, it means I won’t get the big prize. You’ll just have to find a way to cheer me up!”

It was the first time Richelle had played a betting game where she bet on herself to lose.

After discussing the competition, Richelle asked Roy.

“Did something happen in the village recently?”

Roy’s smile faded a little, he held her in his arms, lowered his head and played with her slender fingers.

“Why do you ask?”

His reply seemed a bit absent-minded.

However, Richelle felt he was trying to hide something.

“Intuition! It’s too quiet, too peaceful, like everything has been deliberately suppressed, a forced pretense.”

Roy rubbed his head against her face, “Isn’t Delroy now led by you? What did he say?”

Meaning, he hadn’t been involved in the village affairs for a long time and knew even less than Delroy.

Richelle realized that Roy and Delroy must have communicated earlier and were now playing pass-the-buck with her.

“Fine, if you don’t want to talk about it, I’ll go chat with the kids!”

Richelle pushed herself off the sofa to stand up, pretending to leave.

Her waist was held by a strong arm, and then, with a gentle pull, she was sitting back on his lap.

“Stingy!”

Roy bit her neck softly, gritting his teeth.

Richelle humphed, “What happened to marital loyalty and not hiding anything from me?”

Roy was at a loss for words, “What’s in that little head of yours? How can you relate this to marital loyalty?”

Richelle gave a dry laugh.

“Usually, hiding and concealing something means there’s a guilty conscience! And there are only two possibilities for a guilty conscience, one is about money, and the other is about love!”

Roy was both amused and annoyed by her seemingly reasonable but actually absurd reasoning.

But when Richelle stubbornly clung to a point, she could be quite terrifying.

So after weighing the pros and cons, Roy decided to come clean about everything.

“Baby, I’m not hiding or concealing anything, and I have no guilty conscience. I’m completely open and honest with you about money and love, and I haven’t done anything wrong.”

Richelle heard his words and knew he had given in, so she lowered her head.

“That’s not up to you to decide. Men’s mouths are like lying ghosts. Tell me the truth and let me decide your loyalty.”

Roy sighed in resignation, “Actually, it’s not much. Aldo Lewis has officially teamed up with Mason Lilliput, and they’re currently trying to win over the village elders and managers.”

Richelle knew he must have been hiding something big.

“And then what? Are you planning to turn a blind eye? If I remember correctly, apart from the head of the main family who can make some judgments and suggestions on daily operations, other members of the main family are not allowed to directly participate in the management of the village’s enterprises and industries, right?”

Roy nodded, “That’s correct, but to catch them all at once, we have to give them some leeway first.”

Richelle didn’t object to his approach, “I already know this, you don’t have to hide it from me.”

Roy rubbed her head, “The less you know about some things, the safer you’ll be!”

Richelle turned around, raised her hand to grab his face, and glared at him.

“Roy Lewis, don’t I know enough already? One more thing won’t matter, will it?”
