Her Revenge Returns (Lea and Alfred)

Jeffrey, send Mr. Andrews home. It’s late,” ordered Christian. He seemed unhappy to see Lea with Alfred.

Alfred was stunned. He looked to Christian, thinking, Why doesn’t he ask me to stay for the night since it’s so late?

“Come on. I’ll walk you out,” said Lea

Alfred frowned and then nodded reluctantly,

They walked to the garage. After he got into the car, Lea stood outside and waved at him through the window. Alfred dawdled, started the car unwillingly, and slowly drove toward the gate,

Lea followed a few steps and only stopped when the car sped up and went far. She stood in place and looked at his car leaving Alfred had been checking her in the rearview mirror and saw her watching him depart, surrounded by lights. Above, the night sky was adorned with twinkling stars, mirroring the glint of longing in her eyes. His lips curled into a smile, and he stepped on the gas and left.

Lea stayed rooted where she was, looked in the direction Alfred left, and turned around to walk inside after a while.

When she got back to the living room, she saw Christian sitting in the chair, hands resting on his cane, gloomy and quiet.

She put her hands in her pockets and walked up to him. “What’s wrong? Why the long face?”

“What’s wrong?” Christian asked to reply.

“So you wish I was in the car?” Lea asked.

“Are you trying to give me a heart attack?” Christian asked.

“That’s the last thing I want,” said Lea

“Then why didn’t you call home first since you would be home so later” he asked.

“I would, but the battery died, answered Lea. The truth was, she was in surgery and couldn’t make any calls. “Besides, I thought you were going to work late,” she added:

Christian’s cold expression softened a bit after Lea explained. “You’ve really grown up, Lea. You’ve been keeping secrets from Grandpa. He sighed. Christian was a wise man. Even though he didn’t get involved in these family matters, he could sense that something was off.

“What am I supposed to say, Grandpa Helen asked why I wasn’t in the car and didn’t die in the river. You heard her. What more can I say?” Lea asked. Her disappointed expression was hard to miss. She didn’t really expect anything from Christian, but he was family. She faintly hoped he would support her, but he let her down.

When Alfred told her about the car crash, Lea knew Matilda had plotted the accident to kill her. After they got home and met Matilda, Lea was more sure about her conjecture. There was no way Christian didn’t see through Matilda’s scheme.

Christian’s heart sank. When he and Lea looked into each other’s eyes, they couldn’t understand what was on their minds.

Lea wondered, Between me and Matikla, if there’s only one can live, whose side will Grandpa take?

The only thing on Chistian’s mind was, Matilda will never murder Lea

*Ill go do my homework.” Lea said and went upstairs.……

Christian looked at her back and wanted to ask her to have dinner first, but somehow, he couldn’t say anything. Melissa sent dinner to Lea’s room

Helen and Matilda were on the way home. Helen was extremely excited in the car. “Mom, did you see the man with Lea? She called him Mr. Andrews!”

“Yeah. That the heir of the Andrews family,” said Matilda. She was also shocked to see him there.

“The Andrews family in Iverton, can you believe it? That’s the…” Helen was still appalled,

the most prominent family in Iverton, and the Andrews Group is the only Asian company in the top twenty of the Global 500 Matilda hushed Helen’s

‘s sentence. Put the Berry and Fraley families together, and they were still no match for the Andrews family, Matilda felt envious and inferior.

“So, how did Lea know him? Helen asked.

“Through your grandpa, I suppose. He and Alfred’s grandpa were close friends when they were young, answered Matilda.

Helen knew about this, too, but she was stunned by what she saw just now and skeptical about everything. “I want to know him,” she said. Her eyes glittered with greed. “Mom, tell Grandpa to

introduce me to Alfred. I don’t want Lea to be with him. She doesn’t deserve it” She had decided to snatch this perfect man from Lea

“No need to rush, Helen. After Lea’s gone.

e, I’ll set you two up,” said Matilda. She was also awed by Alfred after seeing him.

Lea is only a bastard of the Berry family. If she could be so close to Alfred, Helen could, 100. If we’re in a good relationship with the heir of the Andrews family, I can regain Christian’s trust, and it benefits the Berry family and the Fraley family a lot Matilda thought

“Thanks, Mom!” Helen said docily with a sweet smile. “Mom, is it because of Alfred that Lea didn’t take the car home?”

Therefore, she didn’t die in the river.

“Maybe,” said Matilda. “There’s no way she would know about the accident in advance.”

Helen gazed ahead, clutching the hems of her dress on her knees, her eyes flickering. I have to get rid of Lea as soon as possible. I can’t stand one more minute with her being with Alfred, she thought.

Matilda turned around and saw Helen lost in thoughts. She comforted her. “Don’t worry. Helen. I’ve settled everything at school. You just go to school as usual tomorrow.”

Helen was thinking about how to kill Lea. When Matilda spoke of school, she was in panic. “Morn, how did you handle it? What if I go to school tomorrow and they. She was horrified thinking about how her classmates would laugh at her.

“I’ve talked to Shawn and Chandler. They will tell the public that they raped you and make you the innocent victim. Then, the public opinion will be on your side. People will have sympathy for you

and support you,” Matilda said. Helen would even benefit from this.

Helen’s eyes were lit up. She was so pleased with this plan. I see. What about the grades?”

“You did well today. When the next exam comes, you’ll ask for a day off, and after thar, you’ll take the SAT directly. I’ll take care of it,” said Matilda. She had been forcing Lea to take exams for Helen for years. The S&T wouldn’t be a big deal.

“Mom, I want to go to Conrad University. I want to go to Iverton,” said Helen excitedly. “I was so narrow–minded before. I should go to a bigger city. to see the world and seek a better future for myself and our families” All she could think about now was Alfred. She thought she could be with him once she made it to Iverton

“That’s my girl” Matilda was so proud of her. She was ready to clear the way for Helen to stand at the top
