Chapter 118

Lea did not ask the question because she wanted to replace her parents.

She did not have any expectations for her parents love after her experiences in

in both her previous and current life.

She was just worried that this matter would become her weakness and be used by the enemy.

Jeffrey’s eyes widened as he looked at her in surprise.

He thought Lea would ask about the mastermind.

His expression changed. After weighing the pros and cons, he said, “Isn’t your background already clear!”

Knowing that Jeffrey would not reveal it easily. Lea began to explain.

Ewan has been cold to me since I was young and dosed on Helen”

Ewan doted on his eldest daughter before the hospital discovered they were not blood–related.

“It’s not that he doesn’t like children. He even allowed his mistress to bear his

is children. Why has he always been hard on me!

“Who is my biological mother? What kind of relationship does she have with my father?”

Contemplation flashed in Jeffrey’s eyes. “Miss Lea, why don’t you ask Christian yourself?”

Jeffrey did not dare to reject her directly. After all, he owed her now and could not leave without her permission. He did not have much choice.

“You’ve seen Grandpa’s attitude toward me years ago. I don’t know if he would tell me, so I’m here to consult you.””

She emphasized the word “consult” with a hint of coention

Jeffrey looked up at Jason. The young man was staring at him with a sharp gaze.

If Jeffrey did not say anything, it would not be easy for him to leave this place.

Jeffrey took a deep breath and said, “Someone sent you to Christian’s place that year at midnight”

Lea’s eyes flashed with surprise.

“Didn’t Grandpa go to the orphanage to bring me back?

“Why did Grandpa lie to everyone!

“Is my background a secret!”

After a series of questions, Jeffrey replied. “Actually, you’re not Ewan’s child.”

Lea stared at him. She already knew the answer, but on the surface, she still pretended to be shocked.

“Then why did Grandpa take me in and say

my I’m his granddaughter)”

“Christian has another son. He’s ten years older than Ewan and is the son of Christian’s ex–wife.

“The Berry family started up their business with military aircraft. Later, after Christian retired from the army, he turned to civil aviation and funded the military aircraft part to the national army

“Christian’s eldest son was one of the core research members of the military flying control system. Other than Christian and me, no one knows of

his exluence.

“I know he existed, but I don’t even know his name.

“The person who sent you said you were the eldest son’s child. He asked the guy to send you to Christian.

Lea was astonished and frowned.

She was not related to Christian by blood. She could not be the child of the Herry family’s eldest soIL

Christian took her in, so he must have done a paternity test.

There was only one possibility. The result Christian got was Lea had a bloodline of the Berry family.

2:37 PM c d

Chapter 118

Lea suppressed the surging emotions in her heart. “Then where is my father now?”

Jeffrey shook his head. “He passed away”

Lea’s pupils constricted.

Jeffrey added, “The year you were born, there was a rebellion at the research institute. There were heavy casualties”

She gasped. “What about my paternity test with Ewan‘

soon as Christian took you in, he brought you to the ·hospital for a paternity test.

“But he was old and didn’t know how to raise a child. At that time, Matilda had given birth to her eldest daughter less than a year ago. Christian thought Matilda was the most suitable person to raise you

“Christian forged the results of the paternity test between you and Ewan before sending you to Ewan and Matilda”

After thinking for a moment, Lea said, “I see“.

“Can I go now!” Jeffrey asked warily.

“Sure, but what will the mastermind you’re loyal to think of you when you leave safe and sound tonight? You’ve worked together for so long. You should know better what kind of person she is,

“Jeffrey, watch out for yourself.”

In Lea’s previous life, Matilda would kill Jeffrey to silence him. Lea decided to let Jeffrey go and not make things difficult for him. It could be considered as fulfilling Christian’s wishes

Hence, she kindly reminded him.

Jeffrey stared into space for a moment before leaving

After he left, Jason came forward. “Miss Berry, are you all done?”

He did not hear what Lea and Jeffrey discussed, but Jeffrey was a traitor. He relied on the Berry family’s kindness to bully his master.

If Jeffrey did not answer Lea’s question, Jason would use force.

“Yes” Lea nodded and turned to return to the house.

Jason followed.

Squeak

Lea pushed open the living room door. When she entered, she noticed Christian sisting on the sofa with a walking stick in his hand. He had only turned on the wall lamp, and it was dim inside the room.

Christian looked even lonelier.

She walked toward Christian.

“Where did you go? Christian was a little agitated when he saw Lea

“I was out to get some fresh air Lea sat opposite Christian and poured him a cup of coffee the maid had served.

“Lex. I’m sorry.” Christian said apologetically. His eyes were red and filled with tears

Jeffrey kidnapped her. Christian ought to hand Jeffrey over to the police to be severely punished.

But Christian and Jeffrey used to be sworn friends. Christian could not bear to do it.

Lea lowered her eyes and did not speak. She could not help but feel sad.

as still insignificant in Christian’s heart. Her life could not compare to their friendship.

“T1l transfer 5x of the company’s dures to you to make it up to you”

D

The Berry family held 52% of the shares of the Herry Groups Matilda and Ewan held 20% of the shares together. It would be hard to guarantee thui other shareholders would not surpass the Berry family and ilut they would lose dominance if Christian transferred some of his shares to Lea

Only then did Lea look u

up at Christian.

Chapter 118

The Berry Group was a family business and had to be controlled by the Berry family.

Therefore, the 3% dures were critical to Christian

Lea was not blood–related to the Berry family, so she thought she could not take it.

“Grandpa, it’s not your fault. You don’t have in make it up to me”

Christian furrowed his brows. He did not expect her to reject him so bluntly.

Last time. Lea had tried her best to ask Matilda for shares.

“Even if it’s not compensation, I still transfer it to you because you’re my granddaughter, Christian said firmly

Lea was surprised again. She gazed at Christian scrutinizingly.

“I have to thank you for repaying the old friendship of mine.”

Lea’s performance tonight had impressed Christian

She was still so young, but she could make such a concession on such a manter.

She was respectful to him, and she dealt with things to everyone’s liking.

Christian trusted Lea with the shares. –

“Grandpa…” Lea’s emotions became complicated when she saw Christian’s determination. “This is not a small sum. Please weigh it carefully.”

“Lea, why are you so stubborn tonight? Do you have to be so disant from me?

Imold and have lost too much. I don’t have much left

That was why he cared so much about his friendship with Jeffrey.

aty to the group”

“I give you the shares of the Berry Group not only to give you the money. You also need to do your duty to

This meant that she had to get involved in the company.

Lea’s heart sank, but she still nodded.

Christian was sincere to her, and she did not want to let him down.

She also needed the funds to develop herself.

She decided to see it as a mutual achievement.

Thank you. Grandpa. Have a good rest. I’ll go to bed. I still have exams tomorrow.”

“Go” Christian nodded. “After you finish your exams, I’ll replace time to transfer the shares to you

Lea nodded and went upstairs

After entering the room, she gently closed the door,

Now that the mole had been found, this place was finally safe.

Only then did she heave a sigh of relief. She suddenly raised her eyes and looked out of the window.

As vigilant as she was, she felt people were watching outside)

Without turning on the lights, she went forward and lifted a corner of the curtain to look out. Her deep gaze penetrated the darkness and observed

As expected, there were some people.
