“What happened?”

Alfred noticed Lea staring at the hotel’s logo. Her face was pale, her body was trembling, and her eyes were dark.

He asked with concern, “If you don’t like this hotel, we can book another one.”

“I’m fine.” Lea shook her head and smiled faintly. “I–I’m a little carsick.”

She was afraid.

But she would never run away.

She was back for her foes. Even if Lea had to die, she would not back down.

Lea got out of the car and slammed the door shut with a bang.

She walked forward and stood at the entrance, staring at the hotel.

Alfred followed out and looked at Lea’s back. Her beautiful pale yellow back blended with the sunlight. It was so sweet and dazzling.

His gaze unconsciously revealed a strong sense of greed, as if he wanted to take her all in.

After standing there for a moment, Lea turned around and smiled at Alfred.

The grimness in his eyes was dispelled by her smile as he stepped forward. “Go inside, or?”

“I’ll send the address to my classmates and ask them to be here,” Lea said as she sent Shannon the location.

Alfred’s eyes flashed with consideration. He raised his hand and tucked Lea’s hair behind her ear. “I still have something on. I should go. If there’s anything you need, tell Craig. He’ll take care of you for the next two days.”

Lea reached out and adjusted the collars of his shirt “Craig stays here. What about you?”

Craig was Alfred’s bodyguard and had been protecting Alfred’s life since they were young.

Lea would not be at ease if Craig did not stay by Alfred’s side.

“This is Iverton, our family’s territory.” He raised his eyebrows and smiled reassuringly. “Besides, I don’t lack capable people around me.”

“If you need one, just let me know. I can replace anyone you need for you,” added Alfred.

“Okay,” Lea replied. She stood on her tiptoes and pecked on the corner of his mouth.

It was a parting kiss.

His slender fingers pressed against her delicate lips as he chuckled. His eyes were filled with desir “After this interview is over, you’ll be a university student. You’ll soon be 20 after your birthday.”

“My Lea.” His gaze fell on her. “It’s a mature adult now.”

Alfred restrained himself, anticipated, and waited.

Lea looked straight at him, his reddened eyes full of lust.

Her red lips moved, and between her lips was the coldness of his finger. Her throat was tight, preventing her from speaking, and her face turned red to the roots of her neck.

After comforting her, Alfred retracted his hand. “Go and rest. I should get back to business. I’ll see you when I’m done.”

Eddie drove a car and waited for him.

“Alright.” Lea watched Alfred leave. She then turned around and walked toward the hotel entrance with a cold expression.

Craig followed her.

As soon as they entered, the manager of the hotel welcomed them warmly with the waiters and ushers. He bowed and greeted them. “Welcome!”

Lea was taken aback. ‘Is the service in this hotel always so warm? With so many people welcoming the guests here, don’t the waiters have to work?‘

In her previous life, the Andrews Group had collaborated with Conrad University on several important research projects. She was in charge of team formation and project management. Several laboratories were built in the hotel.

Lea had stayed in this hotel for quite some time.

At that time, not to mention the hotel manager, even the ushers would look at her with disdain.

Now that Lea thought about it, it was her best friend, Abigail, who had always been by her side, acting as her secretary, and assistant, and even taking care of her daily life had privately informed everyone about Lea’s past–a murderer who had been sentenced to death.

Therefore, everyone despised her and wanted to step on her head.

Such a strong contrast made Lea unaccustomed, but she felt comfortable being respected.

Seeing the surprised look on Lea’s face, they knew they had been too enthusiastic.

But they had no choice.

Just an hour ago, the hotel’s owner suddenly changed without warning. One had to know that this was a high–quality hotel under the Andrews Group.

The news they had heard from the high–ups was that it was all because of the person who was going to stay in the hotel.

They landed their gazes on the charming lady and admired her prettiness.

Craig was also shocked by their enthusiasm.

‘Didn’t Mr. Andrews want to keep a low profile? Now, even Miss Lea was startled, Craig thought.

“We’ll… we’ll check in,” he said, diverting their attention.

“Alright, this way, please,” said the manager.

The manager came forward and personally led them to the reception. After checking in, he sent them upstairs.

Lea would only stay at Iverton for two days. She would leave after the exam tomorrow. She did not bring much luggage. There was only a small suitcase that Craig carried.

The hotel had a total of 25 floors. The first to fifth floors were restaurants and entertainment hall,

and above that was the hotel. It was a five–star standard.

Their room was arranged on the sixth floor.

After checking in, Lea was waiting for Shannon and Yannis.

It was

three o’clock in the afternoon when they arrived.

Shannon opened the door and was dumbfounded. Lea, this hotel is too luxurious!”

She was so shocked that she left her suitcase at the door. She grabbed her bag with both hands and brought it in. She looked at the walls, ceiling, floor, and furniture.

Even if it was just an inconspicuous small object on the table, she had never seen it before.

At first, Shannon took her time. Then, she jogged around the room and went forward to push open the floor–to–ceiling windows.

“Conrad University! It’s Conrad University! Leal Look, it’s Conrad University!”

The hotel had a good view. At the height of the sixth floor, one could see the front campus of

Conrad University.

The university’s main entrance was a classical and elegant gate with marble pillars and three arches. There were no high–rises on the campus, only low–rise buildings.

The white buildings were neat and well–arranged. The garden was beautiful, and the trees were shady. It was a wonderful place with human intelligence.

Shannon’s eyes were filled with tears as she watched.

She was so close to her dream, within arm’s reach.

Lea originally did not feel anything. To her, Conrad University was a springboard that could also hide her identity very well.

Of course, she could also get close to her enemies.

But now, Shannon’s emotions had infected her.

In her previous life, Lea also dreamed of going to Conrad University. She wanted to improve her knowledge, perfect her talents, and make herself more outstanding and powerful.

But her dream was shattered.

Now that she recalled her dream, Lea’s heart vibrated with excitement.

“It’s good that you like it. Otherwise, it’ll be hard to stay here for four years in the future,” Lea said.

When Shannon heard that, she was delighted and also calmed down a little.

She was 99% sure about getting into Conrad University.

But after staying there for four years, it would not be as exciting.

“Lea, how much does this hotel cost per day?” asked Shannon.

This was the first time Shannon had seen such a large and luxurious room. The famous paintings on the wall were all authentic. Compared to the hotel they had booked themselves, the difference was like heaven and earth.

“About 8,000 dollars a night,” Lea answered.

Shannon was awestruck.

“Alfred has already paid,” Lea added when she saw how shocked Shannon was by the price.

If it were her, Lea would not spend so much money to stay in a hotel, even though she could afford

However, she happily accepted Alfred’s money.

Shannon heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that.

“Mr. Andrews is so nice to you!” She said sincerely, “Lea, you still have to go to school. Other hope you and Mr. Andrews can get married early and let him protect you.”

Lea coughed.

She was drinking coffee and choked. Her face turned red.

‘Marry Alfred?‘ Just thinking about it made Lea’s heart palpitate.

She wished she could marry Alfred right away.

But there was a long and arduous path of revenge between them.

Not just hers, but also Alfred’s.

There was still a world of difference between the Berry family and the Andrews family.
