Chapter 773: Chapter 769: Who’s Manipulating Things Behind the Scenes?
“I don’t care whether people call me Sonia Seaton’s top disciple or Richelle Dunn. As for others, if they need you, Master, to extinguish your own light so that their light can shine, it shows that their light is not precious and not worth cherishing, even if it’s concealed.”
Richelle Dunn didn’t say this because of her own capabilities, but because she felt indignant for her own master.
“Master, has anyone been gossiping?”
Richelle couldn’t bear to see her own people being bullied. If her master’s decision to live in seclusion was her own, then she would reluctantly respect her master’s decision, even if she was unwilling.
But if her master’s decision was forced by malicious people’s idle talk, she would never let those people off the hook!
Sonia Seaton shook her head, “No, I’m just tired too. It’s uncomfortable to stand at the forefront for decades.”
That was true.
Luckily, Sonia Seaton was relatively insensitive to emotions, so she could stand at the forefront for so long without being affected by all the external disturbances and attacks, still concentrating on her own research and career.
At this moment, Sonia Seaton seemed to be indifferent.
However, Richelle had some doubts and curiosity in her heart.
But Sonia Seaton obviously had no interest in talking about this anymore and changed the subject to the surgery she had performed last week.
Master and disciple chatted in the office until after ten o’clock, and seeing the time, Richelle had to go back to the Lewis Group to earn her big money as the president.
As for Sonia Seaton, she had a meeting with the military hospital doctors next.
Upon returning to the Lewis Group, Nathan Caroule asked her.
“Dr. Dunn, did Master Seaton get angry about the incident on the internet?”
Richelle didn’t even know what was going on. Hearing him ask that, she was stunned.
“What happened on the internet?”
Nathan was also taken aback, “Didn’t you know about the issue of Roy Lewis using the private plane for personal use?”
“I didn’t know! What’s going on?”
Richelle took out her phone and opened the web page.
“Actually, it’s alright if you don’t look, because the matter has already been solved.”
Richelle browsed the information on the Internet while listening to Nathan explain how the issue was resolved.
When she finished reading quickly, Nathan had just finished speaking.
“Nathan, can you inquire about the situation in South Asia?”
Richelle knew that Roy Lewis had a great influence, but she didn’t have a clear concept of how big it was.
But Nathan hadn’t completely withdrawn from the public-private plane controversy and was a little confused.
“Does this matter involve people from the South Asian side? But Mr. Fred and I think it must have been a trick played by Mr. Green’s competitors.”
Richelle nodded, “I know that. What I want you to find out is about my master’s situation.”
Then, she told him about the laboratory.
“I suspect that someone has been fanning the flames behind the scenes, making my master think of retiring.”
Nathan pondered for a moment and analyzed.
“Master Seaton is only in her fifties, and it’s indeed a bit early for her to retire. As you said, her retirement does not greatly affect you, but it might be different for others.”
Richelle nodded.
“I don’t care about it, and my master knows that. Besides, she asked me before if I wanted to take over the laboratory, and I explicitly refused. She didn’t seem to force me at that time. But this time, she insisted that I take over.”
Nathan thought for a while.
“You mean, someone is aiming at the laboratory, and in order to protect it, Master Seaton wants to transfer it to you before the opponent makes a move?”
Richelle hummed in agreement, “If that’s true, then I will definitely take it over, but I also need to find out who is so despicable to target my master!”
“Alright!”, Nathan nodded readily, “I’ll arrange for someone to investigate this.”
“Thank you.”
Nathan asked her, “Does Roy know about this?”
Richelle shook her head, “He’s busy. There’s no need to disturb him with this kind of matter.”
Nathan agreed, indeed.
“How is his situation progressing?”
Nathan wasn’t exactly sure, “I only see the live broadcast or rebroadcast content on the internet. To find out the specifics, you have to ask Mr. Fred. Want me to ask?”
Richelle shook her head, “No, we can’t help with what’s going on over there. Let’s not create more trouble.”
Although Richelle was worried about Roy, she knew that his current job was sensitive, and if she kept asking questions, it might cause unnecessary speculation.
It was clear that Nathan understood this as well, so he rarely took the initiative to contact Roy during working hours, and if there was something important, he would convey it through Mr. Fred.
This was to avoid unnecessary speculation and create suspicion.
And today’s public-private plane incident reminded them that the current Roy is the acting president, and his every word and action must be handled carefully.
In the afternoon, during the Lewis Group’s monthly board meeting, a board member raised a question.
“I have reliable information that the Federation government and the South Asia Government have signed several major agreements. Shouldn’t we take advantage of this favorable opportunity and be the first to act?”
