Chapter 124

Matilda opened her makeup kit and took out lipstick in the underground parking garage of FraleyHospital. Facing the mirror inside the car, she began to apply it, outlining her lips. Despite havingjust handled Jeffrey’s funeral arrangements, she was still dressed in a black dress, her lengthy hairpinned neatly behind her head, exuding an air of solemnity

She had

no respect for Jeffrey, handling his funeral was merely to appease Christian. She harboredresentment towards him internally. If it weren’t for his incompetence, Lea would have died longago, and she wouldn’t have had to endure her existence. Christian even wanted to give her shares,support, and munure her. Helen, the eldest granddaughter of the Berry family, has yet to receivesuch an honor. If this continues. Lea will soon remove Helen’s position in the Berry family

Fortunately, Frank escaped, leaving Lea with no leverage to use against her. And she still has theleverage to drive Lea out of the Berry family. With this in mind, Matilda’s mood instantly lifted, and asmile crept onto her face. After applying her lipstick, she unbuttoned her collar, revealing her amplebosom, exuding allure and sensuality

Matilda pushed open the car door with a bang and headed to the dedicated elevator, where sheentered the code. The elevator opened, and she stepped inside, heading straight to the top floor.

The door to the top floor swung open revealing a path strewn with crimson rose petals generouslyscattered from the entrance to the bedroom and bathroom doorways. A bottle of expensive wineand two tall glasses ressed on the table. The air was filled with a sweet fragrance, and the luxurioussurroundings and romantic ambiance immediately put Matilda at ease.

“Marida, come in. I’m here,” Nixon’s voice echoed from the bathroom. His magnetic tone carried ahint of indulgence, deliberately teasing, and coupled with their over twenty years of emotionalconnection, even a woman like her in her forties couldn’t help but feel moved.

Matilda smiled seductively, placing her purse on the table before heading towards the bathroom.The door was ajar, revealing a top–tier bathtub in front, where Nixon was soaking, Rose petalsflested on the water’s surface, enunting a more decadent fragrance. “My queen, what are youwaiting for!” he teased.

“Playing around at this age, isn’t it a bit embarrassing?” she muttered, her face flushing despite herwords.

Splash! He rose from the water, lifting her and lowering them into the bathrub. “In my eyes, you’realways the youngest and most beautiful,” he whispered, nibbling at her ear as he helped herundress.

“You’re so glib–tongued. Yet she couldn’t resist falling for it

Perhaps it was because Ewan had only shown her fear and awe in the decade of years within theBerry family. After Maulda dealt with his affairs outside one after another. Ewan started to loatheher. However, Nixon’s romantic gestures, typical of younger lovers filled the gap that she had beenmissing, satisfying her addiction.

She nestled against his chest, feeling her skin burning, “What did you put in it?” she asked,somewhat surprised.

“Just some essential oils; it’ll make you feel relaxed and comfortable.” He smirked, massaging her.“It’s not like it’s the first time you’ve used it. Why are you soteric Come closer.

“Nixon, I need to discuss something important with you,” she said, unable to relax due to theweighty matter on her mind. “Ewan is currently staying at Riverview Hospital and seems quitepatient. I suspect he’s hired a private investigator to look into me. We shouldn’t take this lightlyduring this critical time.”

“I’m well aware,” he said confidently. “Let him investigate. After all, he won’t replace anything in thisroom. As for anything else, I deny it. We’re just colleagues with a lot of work to handle together. Ourtime together is relatively limited. Then, I’ll arrange for the media company to leak his past affairsand photos of his pregnant lover online and get him to the trending searches. We’ll spin it as himslandering you to justify a divorce

Nixon continued. “That little brat Lea Berry is quite cunning. How are you planning to deal with her

“On the 7th of next month, at her birthday banquet,” she said with a steely gaze brimming withdeadly intent. If we wait any longer, that geezer Christian will make her the next successor,” sheadded.

“Don’t get angry, his fingers intertwined with her hair, “When she’s kicked out of the Berry family,whether she lives or dies, it’s all up to you.” He picked up the remote control from the side andopened the bathroom’s curtains.

“Why did you open the curtains? She hurriedly retreated into the water,

“What are you hiding from? You can’t see anything from outside, remember? He pulled her up. Thewindows on this entire flour are made of unique material, making it impossible to see inside from theoutside.

“Look at that beautiful view outside. Doesn’t it seem like the entire city is lying at our feet?” The sunhad set entirely, leaving only a hint of light at the horizon before total darkness. The city lightsbegan to shine, with skyscrapers illuminated brilliantly, resembling a city of a thousand stars.

“The entire city at our feet? Matilda murmured in response.

used as a tool to marry someone she did the surface, everything seemed perfect, but behind thescenes, she was cheated on and unloved by her husband. She meticulously schemed puteverything under her control and rise to the top. But now nothing Absolutely nothing

Nixon touched her shoulder, lifting her chin to give her a better view of the grand scene outside.“Once Lea Berry is dealt with, without the geezer holding you back and without Ewan as anobstacle, everything will be yours”

Her eyes gradually brightened with excitement, absorbing the entire city’s nightscape.

Before long, the room was filled with soft, seductive sounds, Outside the glass window, a drone, tinyas a fly, clung to the comer, capturing everything happening inside.

On the other end of the drone’s connection. Quicksilver poured a glass of water and returned to thecomputer. Seeing the screen, he spat out the water in shock, exclaiming. “What the- If Ewan sawthis, it would probably infuriate him to death.

The glass on the top floor of Fraley Hospital was designed to be opaque from the outside, butQuicksilver’s equipment used the Lars technology specifically to bypass such defenses. He couldsee everything It was why 198 Mighty was so formlable–not only did they have the best detectiveminds, but also the most advised tools,

On Riverview SmartMed’s eighth floor, Lea looked at the sky outside the window, which lead tiredcompletely dark. It was about time. She look out her phone and made a call: “Mr. Alfred, please askyour friend to send the message now.”

“Sure, let’s have dinner tonight.” Alfred’s voice sounded gentle and rsger

“Great, it’s my treat” Whenever Lea had the time, she wanted to be with hum Hanging up thephone, she turned to the computer screen, where six windows displayed different angles monitoringthe top floor of Fraley Hospital.

The two individuals inside the room, under the influence of the drugs, were deeply engrossed intheir intimacy. A loud bang echoed through the room as if the sky were falling. The door wasforcefully kicked open, and someone rushed in. The two intertwined figures were suddenly startled,caught up in their intimacy.

“Ah Matilda let out a sharp, agonized scream

Thud Nixon w

was stunned that he had lost his grip, causing Matilda to fall from the bathtub and hit the groundhard, crying out in pain.

In an instant, the person who entered was already outside the bathroom.
