passed, and they agreed to go for the interview together.

Lea packed her things and went to Riverview Hospital to visit

it Ewan. Sitting by his bed, she began peeling an apple.

*I hired that detective. It’s Quicksilver!” he exclaimed, holding his phone and browsing the web. He was excited.

Lea’s eyes glimmered. Alfred had asked a military official to mention Quicksilver, and the effect was astonishing. The Dark Union and Quicksilver had become legendary. This was an unexpected gain in dealing with Fraley Medical

Ewan was still thrilled. “That wretch thought she could cheat on me and get away with it. She can’t hide it forever. Fraley Medical is in shambles Bankruptcy is inevitable. She can’t confront me without power and money”

Lea looked at Ewan. He still hadn’t realized that Matilda’s lover was Nixon. He was a bit naive.

However, this might be a blessing for Ewan. Otherwise, he would have suffered from Matilda and Nixon’s scheme.

Lea said. “You two will divorce eventually. But if you were to divorce her now, she’d probably welcome it with open arms.”

Ewan frowned at her. Lea knew about Helen’s DNA test results, so he hadn’t hidden anything.

“Fraley Hospital is in shambles. Matilda desperately needs money. Even if she cheated on you, she still has rights to the family assets, not to mention her shares in the Berry family,” Lea continued, “If you bring up divorce now, you’ll just become her cash cow, allowing her to funnel money to the Fraley family and save their hospital.”

Ewan panicked. “So what should I do now?”

Lea replied, “Wait until they sort out their hospital issues”

Ewan nodded. Looking at his daughter, he asked. “You seem to be helping me a lot.”

He knew Lea had other motives.

Lea said, “She abused me since I was a child. She’ll try to suppress me to prevent me from exposing her and tarnishing her reputation. If she’s having a hard time, I’ll be happy.”

Ewan glanced at Lea, seeing the truth in her words.

Lea added, “You take good care of yourself. I’m heading to Iverton for an interview tomorrow. Grandpa’s busy and might not have time to visit you,

so take care.”

It was rare for someone to speak so thoughtfully to him. Even though they were not related in blood, he was touched and nodded

“Lea” Ewan suddenly called Lea when she was at the door. She turned around

Ewan said, “Good luck with your interview.”

She was stunned, feeling a subtle emotional stir. People in the Berry family weren’t all bad. Ewan wasn’t inherently evil, just a bit dumb.

Back then, Matilda abused Lea out of Ewan’s sight, as Matilda wanted to maintain her image. Plus, they had shown a strong preference for Helen.

After learning she had no blood relationship with Ewan, Lea felt neither love nor hate. Now, their relationship was relatively peaceful.

“Okay,” she replied and left.

In the evening, Lea returned home to have dinner with Christian. The company’s stock had plummeted again today due to the Fraley family’s scandal, leaving them helpless. Christian had spent the whole day in vain and had to return home.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was somewhat heavy.

Lea spoke up. “I am going to Iverton tomorrow, and the day after, I will be interviewing at Conrad University”

“An interview?” Christian’s eyes lit up. “So you passed the exam!“

Lea nodded. “Yes, I received the notice this morning.

He immediately looked at her with newfound respect. “Alright, I will go with you!”

His granddaughter was making him proud, so he had to accompany her.

Lea rejected. “No need. The company has been busy these days. If you leave, something bad might happen”

Christian hesitated. Fraley Hospital had another scandal. He had noticed some chies about the matter involving Lorrand. If it was true, then Fraley Hospital was really in trouble.

His face darkened, growing somber. After the past few decades, he had left the business world, distanced himself from business dealings, and stopped scrutinizing people. Instead, he blindly trusted those around him. He wondered if he had made a mistake.

Seeing Christian’s pensive look, Lea understood his thoughts.

She said, “I have prepared for the interview. It’s simple, and it’s only half a day. I will have Jason take two people to accompany me,”

Christian replied. “Don’t you still have some old friends in Iverton The Andrews family could help. If something happens. I can ask them for help.”

Lea originally wanted to tell him she was traveling with Alfred. But at this time, she couldn’t reveal her relationship with Alfred, so she didn’t mention it.

Christian was taken aback. Seeing her confidence and thoroughness, he felt reassured. “Then I will have Victor go with you.”

Lea responded, “No need, you cannot do without him these days”

Christin was startled again, then tentatively asked, “Do you think the Fraley Hospital incident is not as Henry described? Something is wrong?

Lea replied, “Grandpa, even if you trust your family and relatives, you should know there’s no smoke without fire. Frank has been involved in so many surgeries, and surgeries require the director’s signature.”

Her words awakened Christian, and his eyes lit up.

He said. Then, I won’t accompany you. I will call the head of the Andrews family and have him look after you. Iverton is their territory. There’s nothing they can’t handle. I saved his life once, and he’ll help me

Of course, he would look after his precious granddaughter. He looked proud and smug.

“Thank you. Grandpa, my.” Leajust started when Christian’s phone buzzed.

A call came in. He answered it and hurriedly left, not even having time to finish his meal.

He said, “Lex, if you need anything, call me. Let Candice and others pack your luggage

She replied, “Yes. I’ll take care of it.”

Lea wanted to tell Christian her exam results, but seeing him so busy, she decided to wait until the interview results came out and tell him everything.

At dusk, Matilda also returned to Berry

Villa.

As Henry said, she had to replace a way to fill the Fraley family’s financial hole.

At the hospital, she had to deal with lawsuits, reporters, and demands for repayment from banks and partners. A rough estimate showed a funding gap of about two billion dollars

Last time, to salvage Berry Group’s stock price, she and Nixon leveraged the hospital to secure a loan of about a billion dollars. Now, this debt was nearly taking her life.

Matilda thought it was Lea’s fault. Lea had pressured her in front of Christian to come up with this money. Then, things slowly developed to this point.

‘Leal Leal‘ Matilda kept repeating Lea’s name in her mind.
