After the old master finished cursing, he angrily left.

About ten bodyguards drove the bustling Lewis family members out of the living room.

Seeing the old master so angry that his face turned, the housekeeper quickly gave him heart pills and called the family doctor to check on him.

The family doctor conducted an examination and reported that there were small irregularities in his heartbeat but nothing serious.

The old master gave the housekeeper a look, “I told you that I am fine. I don’t care about these rotten brats. As long as Roy and Richelle, as well as their three children are doing well, I can be at peace. I don’t ask for anything else.”

Looking worried, the housekeeper said, “But, sir, you just promised them that you will return to Lewis Group as the acting chairman, can your health endure it?”

“Moreover, everything now involves high technology. Mr. Roy publicly stated that he took over Lewis Group at the age of 20, but we all know that he has been managing and making decisions on many important matters since he was 16 or 17. In other words, you haven’t touched these things for over a decade. How can you take over at once?”

The old master glared at him, “You’re really muddled. Isn’t Roy in the hospital? He can handle these things, I will just put up an act.”

The housekeeper thought about it and realized that it made sense.

Still, he was not at ease. He took out his mobile phone and made a video call to Richelle Dunn.

Since Richelle improved her relationship with the old master, she always keeps in touch with him or the housekeeper whenever the old master returns to his old house, to check on his situation.

Hence, the call was quickly answered.

The faces of Richelle and Roy Lewis appeared on the screen.

The housekeeper ignored the old master and first briefly recounted the words and actions of Sebastian Lewis and his siblings, then related how the old master committed to returning as acting chairman.

“Mr. Roy, what should we do to wrap up this issue?”

Roy Lewis was calm, “Since grandfather wants to have some fun, of course, I will support him!”

The old master was both angry and amused, “Little brat, am I just having some fun? Wasn’t I forced to make a stand because of their provocation?”

Roy tried to soothe him with a smile, “Grandfather, don’t worry. Although Richelle still restricts my working hours, I can work for three hours a day. Also, there’s Nathan, right?”

The old master knew that it was somewhat difficult for him to do this, but due to the tense atmosphere at that time, he was like a rider who can’t get off the tiger.

Except for this option, it seemed that he had no other choices.

“But Nathan is not a Lewis, they can cause him trouble quite easily if they wanted to!”

The old master really didn’t want the innocent people to suffer because of the words he said on impulse.

Listening to this, Richelle couldn’t help but interrupt.

“As the guardian of the three children, or if I include Timothy, our young Mr. Lewis, can we legitimately serve as acting chairman and acting CEO with grandfather?”

Upon hearing this, both the old master and Roy’s eyes lightened.

Seems like, that could actually work?

Thus, Richelle’s remark provided the best solution to this difficult problem for now.

“Perfect, school is about to get out for a break soon. It might be a good idea to bring all three children back with us. If they are interested, we can organize meetings, if not, they can stay in the office and do things they like.”

So, the matter was decided in this manner.

The next day, the old master attended the board meeting with Richelle and the three children. During the meeting, he declared.

“Roy has a special situation and can’t currently manage Lewis Group’s work. I will temporarily serve as the acting chairman, and Richelle, as the guardian of three Lewis children, will serve as the acting CEO. As for the three children, they can be learning assistants.”

Lewis Group has been growing steadily for many years, especially after Roy took over, everything has been going well.

Consequently, the shareholders with relatively large holdings are all longstanding ones, who have old relationships with the old master.

In the past, the old master helped them earn lots of money, so they have faith in him.

As for Richelle, they naturally consider her as the mistress of Lewis Group.

They have earned a lot of money under Roy’s leadership in the past decade, so they all owe him respect on this front.

They don’t know how capable she is, but doesn’t Nathan Caroule, the versatile special assistant, and the old master remain as a safety net?

Add to this the fact that Roy’s three children have also emerged on the scene, all the shareholders gladly accepted the decision. Among the shareholders who are not surnamed Lewis, not a single one opposed.

Of course, Sebastian was the first to object.

He and his siblings were puzzled over what was happening. The old master might be able to take on the acting chairman role and sway the board shareholders, but surely he wouldn’t be able to serve as the CEO, right?

Therefore, the siblings started to vie for the position of acting CEO.

Once the meeting started, it became extremely obvious that the old master intended to elevate this young doctor.

“Grandfather, are you saying that you’d rather trust other people than your own children?”
