Old Master was dressed in traditional Chinese formal attire, seating his three cherished little ones and Richelle Dunn at the main table.
The task of receiving guests was delegated to Nathan Caroule and the housekeepers on both sides.
“Grandpa Clarkson, have so fruit and snacks to fill your stomach first.”
Other families have to wipe the butts of their five or six-year-olds with their parents following them around.
But the three little young masters and miss of The Lewis took the initiative to bring fruit and snacks for the old Master and Richelle Dunn. Their sensible and well-behaved appearance made people envious.
However, these actions of filial piety and respect for the elders were seen as flattery and bowing down in humiliation for the sake of the family fortune in so people’s eyes.
“You all see it now, right? Richelle Dunn had been back with the other two kids for at least half a year, but they kept it a secret until now. What does this an? It ans that the Lewis had not taken Richelle Dunn and the two kids seriously from the beginning!”
“Tsk tsk, you are just realizing now that the Lewis doesn’t take Richelle Dunn seriously? I’ve been saying, they’ve been living together for more than half a year, but I’ve never seen Master Lewis take her to any banquet or party.”
“Isn’t it obvious? Richelle Dunn and Master Lewis haven’t married yet, and the child is already over five years old. What does that an? It ans that the Lewis never intended to allow her to enter the family officially. Letting her live together as the child’s mother without any na or status is already the greatest grace she could receive.”
The invited guests numbered almost a thousand, if not at least seven or eight hundred.
Among these guests were all high-ranking officials and nobles.
And among the guests, those who whispered unpleasant remarks were by no ans few.
Among these not-so-few people, the majority were wealthy daughters and rich wives.
Logically, Richelle Dunn had no grievances or conflicts with them, as she didn’t have any interaction with them. Moreover, because Richelle did not like to socialize with these rich wives and wealthy daughters, 99% of them did not know Richelle Dunn, nor had they t before.
However, the comnts that ca out of their mouths were one after another unpleasant and malicious.
The ultimate reason was nothing more than their hearts harboring jealousy towards successful won of the sa sex.
In their eyes, just like them, if one marries a noble or wealthy person, they should enjoy the material and worldly pleasures brought to them by their noble and wealthy spouse.
In their world, all they should have are husbands and children, then gold and glamorous luxury and enjoynt gained from money and nobility.
For soone like Richelle Dunn, even with a man like Roy Lewis backing her, who is wealthy enough to rival a country, she still chooses to be a designer, a doctor, and seemingly doing better and more successful than many n.
This made them feel that she was an anomaly.
And this anomaly, today, stood at the main table of this banquet, dressed in magnificent attire, holding an elegant and brilliant smile, standing up high, telling them, like her, this is who the successful person is, this is the queen.
This was nothing less than mocking these people, who willingly embraced diocrity and dependence.
Mocking their weakness, mocking their greed.
So, they would also ridicule Richelle Dunn to their heart’s content.
It seed that only by doing so could they make themselves and others believe.
Just like them, that is the normal woman.
And like Richelle Dunn, she is an anomaly!
At this mont, Richelle Dunn, who was considered an anomaly by most of the noble and beautiful ladies present, was holding a wine glass and chatting leisurely with two ministerial directors in charge of pharmaceutical affairs.
And one of those two ministers was the very one who had returned Richelle Dunn’s application without opening it.
“Mr. Gregory, there were indeed so issues with my application last ti. In the past few days, I’ve been urging the South Asian side to give so additional data. Next week, I’ll co to see you again.”
This Mr. Gregory could not possibly not know who she, Richelle Dunn, is.
However, at that ti, he had stubbornly returned her application unopened.
Richelle Dunn thought at the ti, could it be that Roy Lewis had a grudge with this person.
But after she got back, she had another thought.
Another possibility was that this person was inherently greedy and wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to gain so benefits.
However, the true reason was sothing that Richelle Dunn could never quite understand.
All she could do was to submit the application again when the ti ca.
Of course, saying that they needed to supplent so data and information was just a way to save face for both parties.
And this Mr. Gregory, who had been very stern-faced towards Richelle Dunn just a few days ago, seed much more kind in this private setting.
“Alright, then. I look forward to Dr. Dunn’s visit.”
After finishing what she had to say, Richelle Dunn left without lingering and began chatting with another custor of Lewis Group that she had t two or three tis.
When Richelle Dunn had gone far away, the other minister, Mr. Simon, pulled Mr. Gregory aside.
“Mr. Gregory, are you out of your mind? Regardless of her status in the Lewis family, she is a dical prodigy and Master Seaton’s favorite disciple. That drug application she submitted could have been the new breakthrough dicine developed by Master Seaton’s laboratory, right?”
Mr. Gregory smiled, “Probably, I didn’t pay attention.”
Mr. Simon stamped his feet in frustration.
“Mr. Gregory, what’s your intention? That’s the new breakthrough drug research. By rejecting her application, if she turns it back to South Asia for production, we are the ones losing out big ti.. When the higher-ups ask about it, can you bear the responsibility?”
