“Miss Berry, what should we do with Peter?” Jason asked.

Lea replied, “He is still useful. Take him back and keep a close watch on him.”

Jason replied, “Understood.”

Lea turned and saw a tall figure standing before her. Looking up, she smiled. “You’re here“{{

Alfred said gently. “I came to see the commotion”

“Don’t worry. I won’t let the hospital be at risk. Although they were in a relationship,

ip, they were also business partners. Even though she was using the hospital to attack FraleyMedical, her plan would benefit them greatly.

“I know.” Alfred gave her a look of complete trust. “What’s your next move?

Lea was full of determination. “Let them waste their effort. If nothing unexpected happens, FraleyMedical should disappear from Vaporleon City”

It was a pity she didn’t have the money. Otherwise, she could seize the opportunity to buy thehospital. That would surely infuriate Matilda and also benefit the hospital’s development.

Lea felt delighted when the saw many seriously ill patients leave the hospital healthy andhopeful, as well as the joy on their families‘ faces.

She no longer just wanted to use the hospital to develop her power and status. She wanted to growand improve it for the benelit of many, making the world a better place.

Lea looked up at him. In this, they were in perfect agreement

He tousled her hair and said condidendy, “Don’t worry about the money. I’ll take care of it.

Alfred turned and smiled, nodding.

She continued, “It’s for a detective friend who helped with Frank’s case. He’s good. You know howimportant reputation is for such organizations. I want to use the hype from this incident to buildsome fame for them. Could you ask your military friend to mention their organization’s name!”

Alfred responded, “Sure. What’s your detective friend’s name?”

“Dark Union” Lea briefly explained.

Alfred made a phone call. “Norman, when your people are interviewed regarding Frank’s case,mention that relevant information. They have an excellent member named Quicksilver”
