Chapter 138 

Creak! 

The main door swung open, and Max stepped inside, 

Matilda immediately approached him, not even waiting for him to speak. “What did you find out?” 

Max’s face was somber. “I found some things..” but they weren’t anything groundbreaking 

“Spit it out!” 

“Lea and Lorrand have been in close contact over the past month. Even last time, when Mr. Christian fainted and was treated at Riverview Hospital, Lorrand was in charge. 

Matilda was taken aback and wondered, “Yes, I neglected this before. Looking at it now, for them to have pulled that off, they must have a very tight cooperation. They are working together against the hospital and against mr, aiming for the same goal 

“And what else? Matilda’s voice was urgent 

“Riverview Hospital used to be under the Andrews Group… Mr. Alfred Andrews Andrews had previously taken Miss Lea there for a check–up” Max added. 

Matilda quickly associated Lea with Alfred 

‘Could that bitch have really seduced Alfred into helping her against me? Lea is attractive, but… I can’t believe she has that much charm, she thought 

“What else?. 

Max shook his head. “N–nothing che 

He then bowed his head, his face pale, barely daring to breathe loudly as he awaited his fate, 

“Previously, Dr. Donovan also investigated this matter. but he didn’t find any connection between Miss Lea and Riverview Hospital” 

Matilda gritted her teeth, frustrated with his incompetence but also helpless. 

She forced herself to calm down and rethought the situation. “Where is Lea?” 

“Her flight to lverton is tomorrow morning. She has an interview at Conrad University the day after.” 

“Any news on Alfred?” she asked. 

Max shook his head. 

As long as Alfred wanted to conceal his identity, even if he walked around Vaporleon City every day, no one would know who he really was 

“Investigate his relationship with Lea,” said Matilda. 

Max stared at her, eyes wide with disbelief. “Well.. how am I supposed to do that?” 

“What about Quicksilver? Ask him to investigate 

Only by dealing with Lea could Matilda eliminate any future threats 

But if Lea and Alfred were already a couple, Matilda couldn’t take any action against her. Otherwise, she’d be going up against Alfred. 

Not even Matilds, with the powerful backing of families like the Fraley family and the Herry family, clared to offend Alfred. 

Therefore, Matilda had to be clear about their relationship. 

“Quicksilver! I remember he exposed Fraley. He’s our enemy…” 

Matilda turned her eyes, glaring at Max, thinking no one could be more stupid than him. 

“How can you definitively say who is an enemy and who is a friend?” she asked. 

Matilda believed she had not offended Quicksilver. 

my name. 

“Quicksilver is just a detective who works for money. I’m not asking you to hire him in my

Max hesitated for a moment, then understood. Tll create a fake identity right now and contact him.” 

At Berry Manor, at midnight, Lea was getting ready for bed when she received a message from Quicksilver. 

Given the recent events, Quicksilver had completely changed his opinion of her, now holding her in high esteem. 

Quicksilver: [Ms. Berry, someone has approached me to investigate you. Specifically, the Andrews family in Iverton.] 

they w 

want to know about your relationship with Alfred from 

Lea: [On2] Lea’s curiosity was piqued. 

Quicksilven (It’s a woman. She wants to know about Alfred’s personal life and to find out if you and he are romantically involved.) 

If this had been a phone call, Lea would have easily picked up on Quicksilver’s excitement. 

He was also very curious about how far things had progressed between her and Alfred. 

Lea raised an eyebrow. 

‘Alfred and I aren’t together. If a woman were truly interested in Alfred, she wouldn’t have been investigating me at a time like this. The fact that she’s desperate to know our relationship status and hired such a skilled detective she wondered. 

Lea already had a prime suspect in mind. 

With such obvious overcompensation, she could be almost certain it was Matilda. 

Quicksilver: [I set a high price, one million dollars. The lady hesitated for a moment but still agreed. She’s desperate for information and gave a two–day deadline.] 

Lea: [I know who it is.] 

Quicksilver was stunned. 

Quicksilver: [Whot What is she trying to do? Should I investigate her?] 

Lea being in danger was a normal occurrence. Quicksilver was worried and ready to protect her. 

Lear (No need. I can handle it.] 

Quicksilver: I’ll reject this job then.] 

Lea: [No need, just give her what she wants] 

Quicksilver: [Seriously? This kind of information you’re okay with giving it to her? 

Lea: There’s nothing confidential about it. Even if you don’t investigate, they’ll find someone else who will. Isn’t this better?] 

This way, they could monitor the situation. 

नरा 

(Besides, I’ll make some money.] 

The chat box remained still, indicating Quicksilver’s surprise. 

After a moment, Quicksilver replied: [Are you short on money?] 

Lea frowned slightly and replied with a simple yes 

Lea: [Want me to take on some high–paying jobs for you? 

The detective alliance had gained a significant reputation, attracting many clients for various tasks, like catching lovers, investigating corporate espionage, finding pets, or locating runaway children, basically anything. 

They even had offers from intelligence agencies, like one from Crefan, trying to recruit them for their services. 

Quicksilver knew Lea’s capabilities well 

During the Frank incident, everything their organization couldn’t find was discovered by her. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

If she were willing, Quicksilver could secure multi–million dollar jobs for her. 

Lea: [That’s not necessary, I need to focus on my exams.] 

What she needed wasn’t a small sum of money but enough to swallow Fraley Medical, a sum that couldn’t be earned through a few jobs in a short

esides, with Alfred handling things, she wasn’t in a rush. 

ut Lea did want to make money. 

Juicksilver: [Yes, exams are important] 

ca was still so young, and she should focus on her studies to become even more formidable in the future. 

That was more important than anything else. 

Quicksilver [How should I respond to this message then?] 

ca: [My grandpa and his were close friends. We met at my grandpa’s seventieth birthday celebration. He’s helped me a few times, and I’m very grateful to him. I’ve treated him to meals.] 

Their collaboration at the hospital was something that couldn’t be revealed to Matilda now. 

Quicksilver: [I know what to reply with, Seventy–thirty split.. no, eighty–twenty, with you taking the eighty] 

This was the organization’s rule. The person who did the investigating got the larger share. 

Since the information came from Lea, it was naturally considered hers. 

Quicksilver orginally wanted to give it all to her, even considering lending her his private savings, but since she didn’t ask, it meant she didn’t need 

He was especially mindful of Lea’s pride. 

Quicksilver cherished talent and was very supportive of this genius who had seemingly descended from the heavens, always considering her needs. 

Lea: Okay 1 

Just before dawn, Quicksilver sent the information to the client. The ring was perfect. 

soon as Max received the information, he reported it to Matilda. 

Upon reading the information, Matilda breathed a sigh of relief and smiled with satisfaction 

She had no doubt about the authenticity of the information. It matched her analysis perfectly. 

‘I know Lea can’t possibly have won over someone like Alfred in such a short time! This is the best news I have received in days, she wondered. 

“Make arrangements. I want to see Nixon.”
