Triple Blessings: Mr. Fu's Passionate Pursuit

Chapter 749: Chapter 745: If You Don’t Want to Go to Jail, Be My Girlfriend

It was after a happy family dinner that Richelle Dunn brought up the matter of her and United Ventures’ CEO to Roy Lewis when the three children and the old man went for their post-dinner walk and left them alone in the living room.

“Roy, I told you before that I got to know United Ventures because of one incident, and we ended up crossing each other’s paths, right?”

Roy looked at her calmly, “Yes, you did. What, is there more to the story?”

Richelle nodded.

Back then, she accidentally breached United Ventures’ firewall while working as a hacker.

But she quickly realized that she might have been duped by the client who had assigned her the task.

So, she quickly left United Ventures’ system without touching or even looking at it.

The mission, of course, ended in failure.

At that time, Richelle was still a novice and her skills of hiding her tracks were not as good as today.

A few days later, she received an email signed by the CEO of United Ventures.

Incredibly, the email was to thank her for not exploiting her access at that time.

Because she had entered their system and left within a minute, just like passing by.

At first, Richelle thought the CEO had a very broad-minded attitude, but after reading all the email, she realized she had overestimated him.

“If you don’t want to go to jail, come and work for my company as a security consultant!”

This was a blatant threat.

At that time, Richelle was still young and hotheaded, her skills were not as impressive as they are now, but her temper was much worse!

“Go ahead and turn me in!”

Then, she blew up her account.

She decided to quit this disgusting business once and for all!

However, the next day, Denise Munni found her at school.

“Hello, I am Denise Munni, the assistant to the CEO of United Ventures. The CEO has sent me to give you an ultimatum.”

For a moment, Richelle was terrified because at home, she had two young children to feed, and another one waiting for her to find and bring back.

If she went to jail, who would take care of the kids?

Denise was a few years older than Richelle and could tell from Richelle’s reaction that she had achieved half of her goal.

“Ms. Dunn, you have a great future ahead of you. It would be a shame to throw it away like this. Actually, our CEO had good intentions; he thought, since you could easily break our firewall, you must also have the ability to make it unbreakable.”

Thinking of her two little ones’ pitiful faces, Richelle reluctantly agreed to Denise’s proposal.

When Richelle officially became a security consultant for United Ventures, Denise took her to meet the CEO.

Richelle thought he would at least be a middle-aged man with a big belly, but to her surprise, he was a handsome guy in his twenties or thirties.

As a sucker for good looks, Richelle might have stared at the CEO longer than necessary, which made him believe she was interested in him. In front of Denise, he asked Richelle:

“Do you have a boyfriend?”

Unsure why she did it, Richelle shook her head.

“Alright, from today on, I’ll be your boyfriend!”

Richelle looked at him as if he were insane, “I refuse!”

Then she turned and walked away.

“You’ve signed the contract. If you don’t agree, I’ll consider it a breach, and you’ll have to pay me a US$ 1,366,811 penalty!”

Roy’s face turned black when he heard this.

“Please tell me you didn’t actually let that man be your boyfriend.”

Richelle didn’t know how to define the situation.

She could only ignore his question and continue with her story.

At that time, Richelle was caught between a rock and a hard place.

Finally, Denise stepped in to smooth things over.

“Mr. Gyons, can’t you speak nicely? You wanted to keep talented people, but now you’re pushing them away.”

Richelle was a bit confused, and then Royce Gyons finally told the truth.

“Actually, my family has been pressuring me to get married. You happen to fit the image my family likes, so would you mind pretending to be my girlfriend for a day to help me deal with my family?”

Richelle was, of course, reluctant.

“Why don’t you just ask Denise? Why involve me?”

Royce replied, “She’s an old employee, and besides, with so many employees in the company, I can’t fool my family’s sharp-witted elders.”

Richelle was even less willing to get involved, “But I…”

“No more ‘buts.’ Either you pretend to be my girlfriend for a day, or you resign, pay the penalty, and I’ll hand you over to the police.”

For the first time, Richelle knew what it felt like to have her neck held in a clamp.

But at that time, she was powerless against Royce who had managed to catch her in the act. Having no choice and thinking of the two little ones waiting for her support at home, she gritted her teeth and agreed to his “request.”

A few days later, she pretended to be Royce Gyons’ girlfriend and visited the Gyons’ house. Just as Royce had predicted, his family members fell in love with Richelle at first sight and fondly referred to her as their “daughter-in-law” and “granddaughter-in-law” when they left.

With a thick skin, Richelle endured the day.

She thought that would be the end of it.

But after that day, Royce began to openly and ostentatiously pursue her.

Flowers and the like were the least of it. Even when she mentioned she had two children to turn him down, he didn’t care and would often show up in his luxury car at school to confront her!
