“By the way, John, can you change my position on the employment letter you gave me previously? I want to teach at the genetics school.” Charles wanted to follow Lea.

.

John turned away in anger. That employment contract was from five years ago. He couldn’t believe Charles had the cheek to mention it. He really wanted to reject Charles. However, he gritted his teeth and did not speak

In the VIP lounge upstairs, Craig laughed so hard that his stomach hurt. “What did Miss Lea do to these big shots? How did she turn them into this?”

One had to know that these big shots were rare figures in the Iverton circle. He had never seen them gather like this. Now, they appeared here collectively for Lea and fought over her like kids.

Alfred smiled proudly.

Chris almost laughed out loud in the hall. She knew that as long as Lea wanted to get into Conrad University, nothing could stop her. However, she did not expect this to happen.

Chris loved how scheming Lea was and the surprise she created this time.

Shannon was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes. She hugged Yannis’s arm and was very happy. “I knew this would happen…”

After all, Lea was a genius worth the old professors of Conrad University competing for.

“Yes.” Yannis nodded. “Lea is very capable.”

For a lousy student like Yannis, he did not know about Lea’s genius performance in her studies, but her medical skills had already shocked him. Lea was very impressive in all aspects.

Lorrand also heaved a long sigh of relief. He was excited and moved.

The researchers who came with Charles also nodded.

Helen’s face was drastically pale. She couldn’t believe this happened. She felt as if her world had collapsed and the sky had fallen.

Matilda’s body swayed. She steadied herself against the wall. She hurriedly turned to Max beside her and said, “Take Helen away now.”

“Sure,” Max said.

Just as Helen was about to collapse, Max brought two assistants with him and helped her away. Helen was in a terrible state and could only be sent to the hotel lounge to rest.

The students from Vaporleon High School also broke down. They had laughed wildly and loudly just now. Now, they looked pathetic. They were so ashamed that they wanted to dig a hole and hide.

They had called Lea a good–for–nothing and an idiot. Now, Lea was proven a genius that even the professors and deans of Conrad University fight for Even John had come. They could not imagine how outstanding Lea was.

However, they had mocked Lea in front of their grandparents, parents, and other prominent people.

“Helen, that bitch,” someone cursed.

At this moment, they realized that they had been used. They were dealt a critical blow.

They looked at the calm and composed Lea on the stage. They did not even have the courage to apologize to her. They all fled.

The atmosphere at the party gradually returned to its former festivity.

Lea pursed her lips and smiled. She looked at Victor and said, “Mr. Fisher, please lead Mr. Brooks and all the professors to the lounge.” If they continued to quarrel here, the party would not be able

to continue.

“Okay.” Victor had worked for Berry Group for decades, but this was the first time he had received such an honorable task. He was overjoyed. “Mr. Brooks, professors, please follow me.”

The deans had no intention of leaving the party. Lea had yet to tell them what she was going to major in. They did not want to miss out on this genius, so they followed Victor to the VIP lounge.

The atmosphere at the party returned to normal. The way the guests looked at Lea changed. There was sincerity, respect, and admiration, although there were also some envious gazes. Even their impression of Christian had improved.

Christian’s face was filled with glory. It had been a long time since he was so proud.

The party continued, and Christian and Lea continued with that speech.

But when Christian was about to speak, Ewan rushed up. “I have something important to say.”

It had been a long time since Ewan had appeared in public. He had rushed over from the hospital. Although he wore a formal dark suit, he looked much more haggard and listless.

However, there was a hint of hatred and ruthlessness in Ewan’s voice. His voice was hurried, as if he had something very important to announce.

Christian’s expression changed. His heart raced..

Although Helen’s incident was perfectly resolved, she had embarrassed herself. The Berry family naturally felt embarrassed as well.

Everyone in their family seemed to be up to no good.

“If you have something to say, you can wait until you’re home.” Christian stopped Ewan. “It’s Lea’s birthday party now.”

Lea looked at Ewan, feeling excited and expectant. After dealing with Ewan at the hospital for so long, he had finally come as Lea had planned. He carried a brown document bag.

Lea had seen the photo of this bag before. Quicksilver had shown it to her. All Nixon and Matilda’s secrets were in there.

Lea swept past the crowd and glanced indifferently at Matilda, who stood among the guests. Matilda’s expression was solemn and sharp.

Ewan had given Matilda too much time to prepare. Matilda was ready to deal with this now.

The guests were shocked again.

“Dad, it’s very important.” Ewan no longer cared about anything else. “It concerns our family.”

Christian’s heart raced even faster. He ordered the servants of the family residence, “Take Ewan back.

Soon, a few servants came forward. “Mr. Berry, let’s go back first.”

“Get out of the way. I must make myself clear today Ewan said.

The servants escorted Ewan forcefully out.

“Matilda is keeping a man on the side. Helen is not my daughter, Ewan burst out loudly.

This was such a rare opportunity. Ewan had to expose Matilda’s true colors and kick her and the bastard Helen out.

Ewan’s words shocked everyone. The huge hall fell silent.

Then, there was a commotion.

“What did Mr. Ewan say?” someone asked.

“How is it possible for Mrs. Berry to keep a man on the side? She’s the model of a wealthy lady,” another said.

“Miss Ewan isn’t Mr. Ewan’s daughter?” an older woman asked. “Mr. Ewan has been cheated on for more than 20 years, and he even raised the lover’s hild?”

“No wonder Mr. Ewan is so angry,” a voice stated.

“I wonder what a man someone like Mrs. Berry will keep. How exciting,” a woman whispered.

“After doing such a thing, the Berry family won’t let her off, right?” another asked.

“Of course. Who can tolerate this?” a guest replied.

The noble ladies who were usually suppressed by Matilda gloated and waited for the drama to unfold.

Other than these excited gossipy elite women, the male guests also had different expressions. They were all scheming.

The Berry family and the Fraley family had a lot of scandals in the last two months. Fraley Hospital’s incident had hurt them even more. Now that there was such an ugly family scandal. Once these two families fell into ruins, their chance would come.

Upstairs, in another VIP lounge, Helen stood at the window watching the hall. She staggered and fell to the ground, her mind buzzing. She couldn’t believe what Ewan had said just now.

Helen thought, ‘Mom is keeping a man on the side? I’m not Dad’s daughter? I’m not related to the Berry family? No. This can’t be.

Helen firmly believed that this had to be a trick by Lea and the others. She braced herself against the glass wall and struggled to get up to see what was going on.

On the stage, Christian’s body swayed and he fell backward.
