This matter was spearheaded by Donna and Lorrand but now Donna took the money and ran off. Itwould reduce their influence.

Fraley Hospital’s method of using money to solve problems was effective.

“You guys go ahead. I’ll look for you later,” Lea said

Lorrand and Chris replied, “Okay“,

Lea said to Yannis, “Wait for me.”

Lea entered the building and went to the pharmaceutical laboratory on the third floor. She knockedon the door and opened it.

Hearing the door open, Charles walked out. “Miss Berry, you’re back. How was your exam?”

Pretty good, Lea said.

Charles was wearing a mask, and his eyes immediately curved in joy. “Those old professors fromConrad University must be overjoyed.” After all, all teachers dreamt of having a genius student,

Lea smiled gently at Charles. “Is that medicine made yet?”

“Here.” Charles tossed a white pill bottle to Lea.

Lea caught the bottle. “I’ll head back first.”

“Okay.” Charles was also very busy. As long as he saw Lea and knew she did well on her exam,that was enough.

Lea went downstairs and threw the bottle of medicine to Yannis. “Take it before intensive training.One pill a day.”

“Oh, okay, Yannis said.

After taking the medicine, Yannis returned to his room in the basement. He still needed to rest fromhis injuries.

Lea went to look for Chris and Lorrand again. It was not until the afternoon that Jason drove Leaback to the Berry Manor.

When Lea arrived, it was dinner time. Helen was also there. She was there to tell Christian aboutHenry’s funeral.

The three of them ate together.

Knowing that Lea was coming back today, Christian asked the servants to prepare a sumptuousdinner. The long mahogany dining table was filled with food.

When Helen saw how much food there was, her eyes flashed with jealousy and anger.

Christian was someone who had been through starvation. He had witnessed cannibalism on thebattlefield, so he had always been very frugal. He usually only ate two or three dishes.

This was also why the Berry Manor and Ewan, Helen, and Matilda hadn’t interacted much over the

years.

In comparison, Helen’s life with her mother and Ewan could be said to be extremely extravagant.Christian was not used to that. However, Christian could change his habits and values for the littlebastard Lea now.

Helen thought, ‘Why is Grandpa so biased toward Lea?”

Helen lowered her head and calmed her contorted expression. When she looked up, she appearedlike a perfect lady again. “Lea, why are you only back now? Why did you stay in Iverton?”

Helen had been thinking about Alfred. She wondered if Lea went to pester Alfred in Iverton again.

“I went to the Long Wall, Lea said indifferently.

“I see.” Helen breathed a sigh of relief. She had thought that Lea was very impressive now.However, Lea was still a country bumpkin who did such things.

It was good that Lea did not see Alfred. Helen grinned in delight.

“I also went to see Mr. Blake Andrews at their family’s residence. Mr. Alfred Andrews picked me up.”Lea added as she looked at Helen.

As expected, Helen’s face instantly turned pale.

When Christian heard that, he took over and asked about Blake. Lea answered all of Christian’squestions.

Helen gripped her fork tightly. She could not hear a single word they said. Her mind was filled withthoughts of Lea going to the Andrews Manor to see Blake. Furthermore, Alfred was the one whobrought her there.

When Helen got off the plane in Iverton, she called her mother and asked her to think of a way shecould visit the Andrews family. Even if Helen could not visit Blake, she still wanted to meet theothers in the Andrews family.

The only way was to get Christian involved.

Helen’s mother ended up calling Christian too. However, Christian said that the Berry family was in

troubled times and it was a rush, so it was not suitable to visit them.

But Christian arranged for Lea to visit Blake at the Andrew family’s residence.

The old fart is so biased, Helen thought furiously.

Of course, the truth was that Christian did not arrange it. Instead, Alfred brought Lea there himself.

But that was what Helen assumed. As for Alfred, Helen thought Lea had to have shamelessly clungto him because Lea wanted to use him to become successful.

Helen thought, ‘Lea can dream on. After Mom inherited Fraley Group-‘

“What’s wrong?” Christian frowned and asked when he saw Helen’s strange expression.

“Huh? I–I’m fine. It’s just that I haven’t been too good lately.” As Helen spoke, she acted pitifulagain.

A cold smile flashed across Lea’s eyes as she watched Helen’s act.

Helen wore a black dress. Her hair was curled and she had a white flower–shaped pin above herear. Her face was very pale.

Outsiders couldn’t tell, but nothing could escape Lea’s sharp eyes.

Helen had used the best foundation. Those who didn’t know and those who weren’t in the knowwouldn’t be able to tell. Not to mention an old and straightforward man like Christian.

Helen’s outfit was the typical mourning attire and makeup for one’s grandfather. Coupled with hersorrowful appearance, it indeed made people want to comfort her.

Moreover, Helen’s acting skills improved after she returned from overseas.

Still, Lea saw through Helen from the details.

Helen’s black dress was made of sexy lace. Her shoulders and legs were all covered in muslin,making her look sensual and gorgeous. The pin on her hair was also a limited edition from a topluxury brand, which made her look holy and luxurious.

Helen was probably overjoyed with Henry’s death. When Henry died, Fraley Group would be hermother’s. Her value would also skyrocket.

As Christian preferred Lea over Helen, Helen and Matlida could not get an advantage in the Berryfamily for now. After a few setbacks, they almost lost their status and everything they had.

But now, with the Fraley family, Helen and Matlida got everything they had lost. They even hadmore than before.

With the Fraley family paving the way for Helen, Helen’s future was bright. Helen could already

imagine that when school started, she would be the center of attention when she entered ConradUniversity and the Iverton circle.

At that time, Alfred wouldn’t even notice Lea when Helen was so prominent.

Helen snorted inwardly, her mind spinning fantasies about her future.

Lea saw the change in Helen’s eyes. The corners of Helen’s mouth twitched, and she looked a littlecrazy. Lea was no longer interested in reading her.

In any case, Helen was set to fail.

If it weren’t for the fact that Helen failed repeatedly, Lea wouldn’t have been able to deal such ablow to Matilda in just a month.

Lea had just lowered her head to eat when Helen asked, “Lea, Grandpa said you got into ConradUniversity too. Where’s your acceptance letter?”

After the exam that day, Helen received her acceptance letter. When she was about to return home,she went to the school to ask. That was how Helen discovered that Lea had finished the exam, butthere was no record of her admission, nor was her acceptance letter sent out.

When Helen met Abigail, she asked for her contact number and they added each other onWhatsApp.

Helen had messaged Abigail and under the pretext of caring about her sister, asked Abigail to helpreplace out ahea’s admission in Iverton.

What Abigail found out was the same. Lea was not accepted by Conrad University,

Lea paused. A dark look flashed across her eyes. She did not even look at Helen and repliednonchalantly, “I didn’t bring it.”

“Oh?” Helen could not hide the excitement in her voice.

Christian did not understand Conrad University’s admission process. He believed in Lea and didn’tsuspect otherwise.

Lea ignored Helen and focused on eating.

Helen stared at Lea for a moment. She was very certain that Lea had not been accepted.

Lea said that she wanted to get first place and enter Conrad University. However, it seemed shewas now embarrassed by reality.

Helen–turned, opened her mouth, and swallowed the words on the tip of her tongue.

Helen thought, ‘If I reveal it to Grandpa now, Lea would at most be embarrassed before him. Lea’s

18th birthday is next week. Isn’t Grandpa going to throw a big party for her and transfer shares to

her?

‘If I expose Lea then and embarrass her in front of all the prominent people in the city, then post itonline… At that thought, Helen was about to burst out laughing.

“I’ve already shown my acceptance letter to Grandpa. Conrad University’s acceptance letter isindeed different. It’s beautifully designed and inlaid with gold,” Helen said.

Even if Helen didn’t expose Lea, she could show off in front of Lea and poke her in her sore spot.

Lea looked up and glanced at Helen indifferently. Her eyes were dark and disdainful.

Helen frowned. She thought, ‘Bastard, how dare you look at me like that? Why are you so arrogant?I’ll teach you a lesson next week.”

Christian nodded and said to Lea, “Your sister did well.”

Helen had flown back to Vaporleon City on the day of the exam. She came straight to the familyresidence from the airport and showed her acceptance letter to Christian. She wanted to surpriseChristian and prove that she was very outstanding.

In the end, Christian was not as happy as Helen had expected. Instead, he kept talking about Lea

Lea looked up at Helen again. She thought, ‘Helen could use works endorsed by foreign big brandsfor the interviews but how did she pass the written test? Matilda is really capable. She even hasinfluence at Conrad University. Who else is helping her out?”

I’m done eating. Grandpa, Lea, take your time.” Helen put down her utensils, stood, and left thedining table.
