Chapter 96

A top–tier black Mercedes–Benz car was parked outside the ribbon–cutting square, overlooking the entire area.

It was Nixon’s personal car.

As Lea looked up at the square and the vehicles that seemed like small boxes from a distance, she could still feel the aggressive aura emanating from Nixor

Much like Matilda. Nixon possessed an insatiable greed. He would stop at nothing to achieve his goals.

In fact, he was even more greedy than Matilda.

quest to join the upper class. He even tried to marry Matilda but

Born into poverty. Nixon had faced countless humiliations and setbacks in his quest failed. Therefore, he craved power and wealth all the more desperately.

Riverview Hospital’s powerful entrance into the scene posed a significant threat, and its backing was formidable. Nixon would not allow it to establish itself in Vaporleon City and usurp Fraley Hospital’s dominant position.

[Do you want to see inside the car? Sh

Shannon sent another message.

Since her mother’s surgery, Shannon had stayed at the hospital to care for her and had joined the hospital’s information security system development.

Lea had developed the hospital’s information security system. Apart from the core components, Shannon and a few other tech personnel managed

the rest.

With so many people at the opening, Shannon was responsible for monitoring the system and noticed the car.

To investigate Donna’s incident, Shannon hacked into Fraley Hospital’s system and thoroughly investigated Nixon, identifying his car.

“No need,” Lea replied tersely

The hospital had been thoroughly prepared for its opening, inside and out, with a security system she had

had personally developed. Its intelligence and security far surpassed the market standard,

Recently, Nixon had been preoccupied with issues concerning Matilda and Helen. He had failed with Donna’s incident and hadn’t had time to deal with Riverview Hospital

On the opening day, the hospital was crowded. Many citizens registered and topped up their accounts, and the total amount surpassed two million dollars.

Numerous patients wanted to be admitted, but the doctors had to turn them away due to the overwhelming demand.

Chris. Lorrand, and Charles managed the hospital well. Despite being busy, there were no significant issues under their management. Lea was in a great mood as she returned home.

With only a week left until the SAT exam, she had to prepare not only for the test but also for the interview that followed. Conrad University’s SAT exam required an interview after passing the written exam for final admission.

On Monday, the school scheduled the last mock exam. As the morning sunlight brightened the campus, Lea had just stepped out of the stairwell when Jason called.

He said. “Miu Lea, Ewan is in troublet”

Lea responded, “Oh

Jason continued. “He collapsed this morning and was taken to Riverview Hospital. Mr. Phoenix personally examined him. I haven’t seen the report yet, but it looks serious”

Lea replied, “Gərir”

Lea hung up and sent a message to Lorrand. Shortly after, she received the examination report.

Knowing her relationships with the Berry family, Jason had informed Lorrand during Ewan’s transfer that he was someone she had her eyes on Lorrand personally conducted the examination, expediting the process.

As Lea reviewed the report, her brows furrowed.

Ewan’s condition was severe, with long–term alcohol abuse and an uncontrolled lifestyle leading to serious kidney damage. The past half month of

indulgence at the Purple Gold Club caused his health to collapse. He needed a kidney transplant.

Lea already knew they were not biologically related. During the nineteen years she lived with the Berry family, Ewan favored Matilda and Helen while ignoring their mistreatment of her. They had no emotional connection.

She had once resented him as a father, but after discovering the truth, even that resentment disappeared.

Lea had a faint smile. The timing of his illness was perfect.

She sent a message to Lorrand, made the necessary arrangements, and looked downstairs, where she saw Helen.

Helen was following closely behind Shannon, glaring daggers at her back.

Previously, Shannon had been at the hospital taking care of her mother and hadn’t come to school Now, with Donna’s condition much improved and the SAT exams approaching, she returned to school for the mock exams.

This was the first time Helen had seen her since the court case

Shannon had actually betrayed her! Helen needed to replace an opportunity to eliminate Shannon and make her regret ever crossing her.

Feeling the hostility, Shannon quickened her pace up the stairs. She wasn’t yet a match for Helen and just wanted to stay as far away from her as possible.

On the third floor, Helen stopped in her tracks when she heard Lea and Shannon talking. She stepped back into the stairwell to eavesdrop.

Lea said. “Shannon, my dad is sick and is in Riverview Hospital. He needs a kidney transplan. After the mock exams, I’ll go to the hospital for a compatibility test. If it matches, I can donate my kidney”

Shannon remarked, “But Lea, donating a kidney isn’t good for your health.”

Lea replied. “One kidney is enough for a normal life. Besides, there will be opportunities to get a transplant later. There is only one chance to save my dad. My grandfather is too old, and my dad is the head of the Berry family. If I donate my kidney to him and save his life, he will appreciate me and value me more. My status in the Berry family will naturally rise.”

She continued, “As long as I gain his favor and importance, I have a high chance of becoming the Berry family heir. I’d give him not just a kidney but even half my life if necessary. If it weren’t for the importance of the mock exams, I’d go right now.”

Shannon said, “Okay, I’ll go with you after the mock exams.”

Then, they kept chatting

In the stairwell, Helen leaned against the wall, her heart pounding. Her dad was sick and needed a kidney transplant

Lea wanted to donate her kidney to gain his favor so that he would give the Berry family’s inheritance and Berry Airline to her.

No way! Helen thought she should get the family inheritance because she was the eldest granddaughter and her father’s first daughter. Her father and grandfather had always hinted that she was the rightful heir.

If Lea donated her kidney, Ewan would favor Lea more, especially with the strained relationship between Ewan and Matilda. Ewan resented Matilda for aborting his mistress’s son.

Helen couldn’t let that happen. She needed to donate her kidney herself. With one kidney, she wouldn’t be much affected, and Lea had said it could be transplanted back later.

This would win her father’s favor and the Berry family’s wealth. She couldn’t let that bitch take this opportunity. Helen hurriedly ran downstairs, her mind racing-

In the hallway, Shannon and Lea heard Helen’s footsteps and exchanged a knowing glance,

Helen dashed out of the school building, pulling out her phone to call her mother. Just as she found her mother’s number, she paused.

After the murder incident, her mother still cared for her as always, buying her countless luxury items. However, Matilda’s disappointment and the impact and anxiety caused by these events were evident.

As a result, Matilda kept a tight rein on her. For every charity event, Helen’s attire, behavior, mannerisms, and even simple greetings were meticulously planned by Matilda’s team and herself.

Helen felt suffocated, unable to breathe under auch pressure

Despite all this, her mother didn’t promote or spotlight her as she once did. Helen desperately wanted to become a globally recognized socialite

Chapter 96

Only by achieving that could her grandfather arrange for her to marry Alfred and propose to the Andrews family.

What if it was too late and Alfred was seduced by Lea! Even without Lea, there were other heiresses in Iverton.

Therefore, Helen had to prove to Matilda that she wasn’t brainless and reckless and that she could accomplish great things and regain her mother’s confidence.

Moreover, her mother was currently very busy, having gone on a business trip to Maspeyria for Berry Airline early in the morning. She couldn’t bother her mother now,

Helen stuffed her phone back into her bag and ran out of the school.

To seize the opportunity quickly, she didn’t even call for a private car but flagged one down and headed straight to Riverview Hospital,

Originally, she didn’t want to take the mock test. She planned to fake a fainting in class to be sent to the hospital,

Now, she had a legitimate reason. She would go to the hospital to save her father and get a leave of absence from school, and everyone would praise her.

In the school hallway, Lea watched Helen flag a car and leave. She smiled happily.

She had dug a pir, and Helen eagerly jumped in

She thought. “Matilda, you wanted to make a grand gesture to regain your position while Grandpa was trying to revive the company. Congratulations. I have a big surprise waiting for you when you return.‘
