When he called her name, he was solemn and sincere.

Lea looked up at him. Her eyes were wet, revealing a complex emotion

“Alfred,” she said, gripping his collar, her fingers lingeringly playing with it. “I grew up under theabuse of Matilda, We are sworn enemies. I want her pay, so I need to survive to get revenge. Thisis the path I must take.”

Lea looked up at Alfred, her eyes were surprisingly calm, making it impossible to

The already neat collar became even more orderly in her fingers. Le see through her emotions.

Yet she was straightforward and candid. This is me. My life is destined to be stained with blood,amidst storms and strife. L.

She was scared, worried that he wouldn’t accept her as she was. Her throat choked up, unable tocontinue.

“I understand.” Alfred hugged her tightly. “Lea. I understand everything. I love you, truly Afraid shewouldn’t believe him, his tone was sincere, and he held her even tighter.

He added, “I only have one request. Don’t let yourself get hurt. Don’t forget, you have me. I’m yourboyfriend, your future husband. I just want to protect you.”

Lea’s worries and concerns instantly vanished. Her eyes were filled with tears. “You have alreadybeen protecting me. Without you, I wouldn’t have been able to do all this so smoothly.”

It was Jason who had stopped Nixon from intervening, allowing Christian to be taken to RiverviewHospital

Alfred had overseen everything at Riverview Hospital, ensuring Christian was brought there in time.He gave Lea Riverview Hospital, providing her with a powerful weapon and bargaining chip.

Lea stood on tiptoes and left a burning kiss on his lips. “Wait for me. Once I get into ConradUniversity, I will go with you to Everton

Alfred immediately calmed down. He lowered his head and planted a kiss on the corner of her eye.

Then, they had an intimate moment but did not linger too long

Lea stood in place, watching the black Maybach disappear around the corner of the road beforeturning and entering through the iron gate. In the car, Eddie glanced at Alfred “Mr. Andrews, youdon’t need to worry about Miss Lea. The antidote for Mr. Berry was prepared by her long ago.

He added, “She set a trap long ago, waiting for Matilda to fall into it. You didn’t see Mr. Berry’sexpression just now. He seemed to have completely disdained Matilda!”

These past few days, Eddie had been helping Len establish the hospital, investigating and handlingthe behind–the–scenes issues of the Berry and Fraley families.

He had also been monitoring Lea’s every move around the clock, ready to step in at the slightestsign of trouble.

Earlier, despite not having slept all night, Eddie immediately got Christian here. He had almost runover Matilda with his car out of excessive

tension

Lea, who looked stunningly beautiful and seemingly innocent, was a child raised under Matilda’sabuse. Yet, in just a few days, she had made Matilda suffer such a huge setback.

Helen was detained, Berry Group and Fraley Medical were in chaos, and Matilda’s position in theBerry family was precarious

Lea was a terrifying person.

“Eddie?” Alfred spoke, his tone icy with underlying anger. He threw the tablet at him with a bang.“You handle these two cases in Igrea

Eddie’s hands slipped, and the car nearly veered off the road.

In the past, no matter what mistakes he made, even if he caused the company to lose hundreds ofmillions of dollars, Alfred had never shown him such a cold demeanor. Alfred was angry and wasgiving Eddie a severe punishment.

Eddie responded, “Mr. Andrews, I was wrong. From now on, Miss Lea’s matters come first. Hersafety comes first,”

Alfred’s tone finally calmed down. “For now, you don’t need to handle those two cases in Igrea?

“Yes.” Eddie breathed a sigh of relief, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

Inside the Berry family mansion, Christian’s face was stern. He was swift and decisive. “Jeffrey, takesome men and search everywhere. Whatever you replace, hand it over to Dr. Phoenix”

He had kept the doctor here specifically to investigate this matter. He wanted to see who dared toharm him on his own turf.

Jeffrey was stunned and looked around at everyone. “Yes, Mr. Berry”

Jeffrey led all the servants in the mansion, including the gardeners, to start the search. Christian,supported by Victor, headed towards the hall, with Lorrand following

Maulda felt dizzy. With Max supporting her, her footsteps were still unsteady.

*Til help,” Lea said, placing her hands on Matilda’s arm.

Matilda turned sharply, meeting Lea’s eyes. The little brat had just put on a crying act. Lea’s eyeswere still teary, her gaze glistening, and her face bore a faint smile, a mix of gentleness andstrength.

Matilda questioned, “Lea, aren’t you afraid I’ll skin you alive?”

Matilda’s face contorted in rage, her eyes bloodshot, like a beast ready to leap out and devour Lea

“You should know Grandpa’s attitude now. Are you not scared of him!” Lea asked, confident andunafraid.

She added, “Besides, you know Mr. Alfred is my friend. Even if I can’t deal with you, he can

Matilda paused and had a cold unile.

Shek

thought Lea and Alfred had a significant relationship. It seemed Lea was bluffing, and she wasn’tafraid. She mocked inwardly, “You two are only friends! And you use him to intimidate me? You’retoo nive

Matilda pushed Len away. Her hatred for Lea was bone–deep, and she couldn’t bear Lea’s touch.She was also unwilling to admit fear. Every encounter with Lea ended badly for her.

Lea smiled and said, “Someone poisoned Grandpa. Don’t you want to stay and see who getscaught? Leaving now would only make you look guilty. like a thief fleeing the scene.

“Lea!” Matilda gritted her teeth, frustrated that this little brat always managed to divert all thesuspicion onto her.

Lea replied, “I’m just reminding you.”

“Don’t disgust me! Matilda sneered, standing straight. “All these years, I underestimated you I waswrong about you.” Lea smirked, “Time will tell. I

III give you more surprisey

Matilda’s expression darkened, appearing to be threatened. This implicit pressure was moreterrifying than a direct declaration of

Halfway down the hall, Christian turned to Matilda. “You come too.”

The series of accidents made him suspicious of her.

Matilda’s body trembled slightly. She didn’t want to be involved in this matter, but she couldn’t leavenow,

She gave Max a glance, glared at Lea, and then turned to follow, “Christian, let me help you.”

“No need” Christian refused sternly, not allowing her to help,

Matilda’s hand, reaching out, froze in mid–air. Only after Christian walked a few steps away did herfingers curl back into a fist.

Once Christian entered the door, Max approached the group of bodyguards and whisperedinstructions, after which they silently dispersed.

Lea looked around carefully before entering

Christian sat in the center of the rosewood sofa chair. Though his body had just suffered severetrauma and he was still weak. He leaned on his cane with a dignified posture, exuding authority,

Matilda stood nearby, respectfully keeping her distance. Despite the earlier argument outside, theywere still family, and her position hadn’t drastically changed.

Victor was also present, standing guard.

Lorrand sat on a single–seat sofa to the right.

Upon entering, Lea walked straight to the sofa and sat across from Christian. She was, after all, themistress of this house, while Matilda was merely a guest

Lorrand looked at her briefly, “Miss Lea, let me treat the injuries on your face to prevent scarring.

His expression and tone were as if he were seeing her for the first time. No one could tell theyknew each other,

Upon hearing this, Christian glanced at Lea’s perfect face and became anxious “Lorrand, quicklycheck her. Make sure

He shot an angry look at Matilda, intensifying the oppressive atmosphere in the hall.

“Alright,” Lorrand said, diligently turning to Lea. “Miss Lea, please sit here.”

He took out a medical kit and invited Lea to a side seat, tending to the swelling on her face.

there are no

Seeing Christian’s cold expression, Matilda felt tremendous pressure, her back unable to remainstraight. Her face was also swollen, not much better than Lea’s

“I need to use the restroom,” she said, replaceing an excuse to leave for the restroom.

Before leaving, Matilda cast a sidelong glare at Lea, Lea’s cold gaze followed her.

After a while, Matilda came out of the restroom. She retouched her makeup, but the thick foundationcouldn’t completely hide the swelling, making her look still quite disheveled.

The search had been ongoing for some time. Jeffrey and the servants had nearly finished searchingthe entire mansion. To avoid suspicion, many servants voluntarily led the way to their own rooms forthe search

Lea’s facial injuries had been treated, the swelling reduced, and the discoloration faded.

These medicines are effective, but not the best. Our hospital has better treatments. Miss Lea, youshould come to our hospital for a few sessions Lorrand suggested.

“Thank you,” Lea responded.

She returned to the single-

-seat sofa beside Christian, waiting quietly

Finally, Jeffrey came downstairs with several servants and Melissa Melissa’s face was ashen, andshe trembled as she descended the stairs.

Lea’s eyes narrowed, her expression turning cold.
