Her

Jeffrey handed a folder to Lea. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Lea took in and read it carefully. 

“Miss Lea, Mr. Berry has also demoted the Madam, sending her to the marketing department as a manager, and he has severely punished her.” Jeffrey said. 

He pleaded on Christian’s behalf. 

Jeffrey said. “These past few days, he hasn’t rested well, hasn’t slept for two nights, and has been looking for you since yesterday afternoon. He even went to the police station late last night. He was injured during his military service when he was young, and now that he’s older, he can’t endure such strain.” 

Lea put down the equity document, and looked at her grandfather with slightly red eyes, and a guilty expression: “A harmonious family prospers. I’ll go back with Grandpa.” 

Christian nodded, his anger dissipating 

“Grandpa, Mr. Alfred took care of me, and I have a few words to say to him.” 

He frowned, wondering what more these two had to discuss, but still took Jeffrey and left, waiting in the car. 

Lea picked up the equity document from the sofa and handed it to Alfred, her youthful appearance showing a mix of business acumen and wisdom. 

“Mr. Alfred, this is my partnership capital,” said Lea. 

Alfred looked down at her, his eyes filled with fondness, loving her earnest expression. 

He smiled as he accepted the equity document: “The decision to slut down and sell the Vaporeon City Branch of Saint Andrews Hospital was made by the headquarters. I’m using my personal funds, along with yours, to buy the hospital” 

The process is already underway and should be completed in a few days,” he said. 

“Mm.” Lea felt completely assured leaving it in his hands 

What she was doing was ultimately for him. 

Alfred leaned in closer, his tone becoming gentle, with a hint of concem “Will you be safe going back 

“With Grandpa taking care of me, I’ll be fine. She gave him a reassuring smile. 

Matilda, of course, wouldn’t let her off, but she had to consider Christian, so she wouldn’t dare to act to blatantly. 

Between her, Matilda, and Helen, it was a matter of survival. 

If they managed to till her first in this life, it would be their skill, and she wouldn’t feel wronged dying 

“What about the people from last night… are you safe?” She was equally worried about him. 

He nodded. “They’re foreign competitors. After failing this time, they won’t make another move.” 

Leaving the villa, Lea got into the Luxora car, sitting quietly and obediently beside her grandfather. She looked young and innocent, very well- behaved 

Christian watched her with a pang of heartache. What did you say to that boy?” 

Although he was the young heir of the Andrews family, he had been 100 arrogant in his attitude. Even his grandfather had to be polite and humble 

in front of him. 

What surprised him even more was that their relationship seemed quite good. 

“Nothing much just thanked him,” answered Lea 

He sighed silently, saying nothing. 

This child, looking obedient, but her heart wasn’t with hin“ 

On the way back to the old house, they passed a pet shop, and Lea got off to buy three kittens. 

Christian disliked such pets, feeling very disdainfull, but seeing the girl holding the fluffy kittens, she appeared gentle and spirited. 

Thinking of her being mistreated and lonely at the Berry mansion, having pets for the company seemed good, so he reluctantly accepted in. 

By the time they returned to the Berry mansion, the sun had completely set, and the hall was lit, grand, and luxurious. 

As soon as she entered, the housekeeper, Melissa, greeted her. “So the second miss likes cats” 

She responded with a “man” and brought out the cars. 

Melissa had already prepared dinner with the servants, and Lea joined Christan for the meal. 

She ate while feeding the cats, taking some of every dish, even the healthy soup Christian was drinking, to feed the cats. 

The current her was poised and intelligent, with none of the former solitary and introverted demeanor, and she was good at pleasing Christian, 

It was as if she had always lived with Christian, never having been separated. 

Christian suddenly felt a sense of enjoying family happiness and liked this feeling very much, adding more affection for her. 

Lea’s bedroom was the largest room on the second floor. The bed, wardrobe, and dressing table, although old–fashioned, were made of pure rosewood, valuable and grand. 

She asked for a computer, which the servants quickly set up for her. 

After dinner, she returned to her room. 

With the new medication and Lorrand’s good treatment of the wound, it was no longer a problem, only needing regular medication to recover. 

“Buzz buzz!” Her phone vibrated with a message on WhatsApp from Lorrand. [Yannis has woken up. Mr. Wessen used the new medication, and with the best medical conditions, he will recover won | 

She replied with a single okay. 

“Knock knock knock Hearing the knock on the dour, Lea put her phone on the bedside table: ‘Come in” 

Jeffrey entered, carrying a tray and placing it on the table: “Mr. Berry specially asked Melissa to prepare bird’s nest for your late–night snack? 

“Miss Lea. Mr. Berry is old and unable to do as much as before. These years, he has been exhausted with the company affairs and hasn’t paid attention to the happenings in the mansion. 

“In the past two days, he’s been working tirelessly for you, almost falling ill, and has severely punished Matilda. He genuinely cares about you” 

“Now that you are living with him, no one in the Berry family will dare to neglect you. Mr. Berry wants y 

you to live here peacefully” 

Jeffrey’s face showed rare kindness, looking at her as if she were his own granddaughter. 

He was a comrade of Mr. Berry, a real soldier, rarely showing such a benevolent side. 

It turned out he was there to convey her grandfather’s message, 

“Mm” Lea nodded. “Thank you, Jeffrey Mease tell Grandpa that I will be obedient and work hard to ease his worries” 

Christian might not have demoted Matilda solely for her sake, but she indeed gained the benefit she wanted this time. 

Moreover, with Matilda demoted, she would lose control of the company, suffering a significant loss of power, comparable to losing 3% of the shares, which was enough for her to endure. 

“Mr. Berry will be very pleased.” Jeffrey gave a rare smile. “Eat your late–night snack and rest early. 

She responded with a “mum, picking up the bowl. The bowl was warm, and the bird’s nest was just right. 

She took a spoonful to her mouth, and after he left, she turned and fed the bird’s nest to the kitten crouching on the desk. 

The warm yellow light illuminated her clear eyes, which sparkled sharply.
