Chapter 81

In the black SUV, Lea couldn’t help but take in her surroundings.

Her fingers gently stroked the seat, feeling its soft and comfortable texture. As she leaned back, theintelligent massage system activated, operating silently and providing immense comfort. This carhad clearly been modified.

On the outside, it appeared to be an ordinary Mercedes–Benz SUV, with a standard license platefrom Vaporleon City, making it a typical choice for middle–class individuals and fitting the profile of ahired car.

However, the interior was top–notch, from the advanced intelligent system to the meticulouslydesigned details. Lea discovered it even had a bulletproof and collision avoidance system.

Such a high level of security was on par with Cretan presidential cars and far exceeded thespecifications of any typical luxury vehicle, making it worth millions of dollars. Of course, this carbelonged to Alfred.

But why did he insist on such a high–security vehicle for her? Was he being overly cautious? Whydid he worry so much about her? Lea couldn’t figure it out, but she felt a sense of happinessknowing that Alfred truly cared for her. This wasn’t a dream.

Holding the steering wheel, Jason watched her from the rearview mirror. Seeing Lea so focused onexamining the car’s interior as if admiring a piece of art, he felt a bit proud,

He asked, “Miss Lea, the car has been modified. Do you like it?

“Yes, I like it very much,” she replied, feeling the comfort of the leather armrest, an embodiment ofAlfred’s affection for her.

Curiosity got the better of her as she asked, “Why was it modified? It must have cost a loc

Tm… a car enthusiast. I enjoy modifying vehicles,” Jason said, his tone slightly evasive, clearlybluffing.

Recently, he, Eddie, and Craig realized that Alfred was quite fond of Lea. He had casuallysuggested to Alfred. “How about upgrading the car?”

Alfred had then provided some suggestions. A security system, an intelligent system, and hired topluxury car designers from Custua for the modifications.

“Money… wasn’t an issue… Jason knew he could never alford such an expensive car on his own.“Working for Alfred, we don’t lack for money

Lea saw his guilty expression and nodded with a slight smile.

In her past life, her sole concem had been revenge. Luxuries like mansions, cars, and high–endgoods held no interest for her.

But sitting in such a car now, feeling its ultimate comfort, she understood why so many peoplerelentlessly pursued wealth and status.

The car’s connection to Alfred also gave her a sense of being protected, which was reassuring.

Lea leaned back into the seat, focusing on enjoying the experience.

Jason, watching her through the mirror, couldn’t help but smile…

He had spent a lot of time with Lea recently and noticed that she rarely smiled and kept herdistance from others. Her routine involved frequent visits to the hospital lab and late–night study

sessions, resembling a robot. Seeing her genuinely enjoying the modified car was a pleasantsurprise.

Jason decided Alfred needed to know this, so he discreetly took a picture of Lea’s contentexpression

Lea’s phone buzzed. She saw it was a call from Christian. She frowned and didn’t answer. Sheknew what he wanted to say and felt it was unnecessary to continue the conversation..

He called once, twice, thrice. When he called a fourth time, she finally pressed the hang–up button.

“She hung up! That little brat dared to hang up on me?” In the mansion, Christian was furious. Hehad never had someone refuse his calls, let alone hang up on him.

“That checky girl. She’s really turned against me! She’s still a kid, and she dares to defy me! Justmoments ago, she was pleading with me to save her, and now she’s hanging up on me!” Christiansaid angrily.

Christian was furious and confused. This was the first time in decades he felt so frustrated.

Lea’s thoughts, temperament, and intentions were completely beyond his comprehension. For thefirst time, Christian felt utterly powerless in dealing with a person or a situation.

“Mr. Berry Jeffrey immediately tried to comfort him.

He ordered, “You… call her.”

Jeffrey nodded. “Okay”

ly as she answered, “What’s the matter, Jeffrey”

Moments later, Jeffrey made the call. Lea narrowed her eyes slightly as

Jeffrey said. “Miss Lea, Mr. Berry asked me to call you.

Lea replied, “And?”

Jeffrey asked. “Are you heading to

school now?”

Then, her phone vibrated twice. A message popped up.

It was from Lorrand.

It said: [Donna is critically ill!]

She needed to go to the hospital

She replied to Jeffrey. “Tve hired a tutor for the SAT exam. I’m going to meet the teacher.”

“Oh, I’ll let Mr. Berry know,” Jeffrey replied. “He mentioned that the family needs more staff, drivers,cooks, and maids. He hopes you’ll handle the recruitment.”

Lea paused. This was a tacit admission from her grandfather that there were disloyal andtreacherous people in the household, and he wanted her to recruit new drivers and maids he couldtrust

Jy studies.

Her expression softened slightly Les Grandpa handle it. I’m busy with my

With that, she hung up the phone.

Back at the mansion, Christian anxiously asked, “What did she say?”

Jeffrey replied, “She said you can handle it yourself. She’s busy studying

Christian exhaled a sigh of relief, a smile spreading across his face. The little girl still trusted him

Lea hung up the phone and instructed Jason, “The mansion needs a new driver. Find a way to getin

I

She needed someone she could trust close to her. Jason, being Alfred’s man, was capable andtrustworthy.

“Got it.” Jason had been thinking of ways to stay close to her and protect her openly.

Les said, “To the hospital.”

Lea opened the message from Lorrand, Donna’s transplanted kidney was incompatible. Previously,Fraley Hospital suppressed the rejection symptoms with medication, which masked the issue.

With the medication’s effects waning, rejection symptoms emerged. The kidney needed to beremoved, or she wouldn’t survive the week. Given her current health, another major surgery poseda high risk, even with their potent drugs.

At the hospital, Lorrand was waiting

g for Lea downstairs and immediately escorted her to the director’s office.

Jason watched her enter the building, then sent a message to Alfred. (Miss Lea said she likes themodified car a lot)

He included the photo he had taken. Though Lea had only said she liked it, Jason added a lot toavoid appearing inadequate in his job

After leaving the Berry family’s mansion, Alfred returned to his lakeside villa.

Carrying his coat, he was about to catch up on sleep when he received Jason’s message. Openingit, he saw the photo of Lea

Lea wore a blue school uniform and a white shirt with a tie. She had her long black hair cascadingdown like shiny silk. She looked impeccably neat and dignified.

sweet smile on her face, exuding genuine happiness.

She leaned lazily against the seat, a faint, swert

The bright summer morning light highlighted her delicate features with a soft glow.

Alfred’s heart softened, a doting smile spreading across his face as he sent a message. [Where isshe?]

Jason promptly replied: [She went to the hospital. Donna is critically ill]
