 it the power Christian finally caught his breath and shouted.

 ‘Cut

 Only then did someone quickly go to turn off the power

 The sound of the power being cut echoed in the hall, plunging it into darkness.

 But the scene with Helen and the two men had already been ying for a full two and a half minutes.

 In the pitch–ck hall, no one could hide their smiles anymore.

 “Take care of it,” Christian ordered Jeffrey before trying to leave. But he couldn’t walk on his own and had to be supported by the servants towards

 the back door.

 The Berry family, proud for a century, had its reputation tarnished on his seventieth birthday

 Always valuing honor more than his life, he didn’t want to stay there for another second.

 Jeffrey stepped forward and addressed the crowd, “Sorry for the inconvenience tonight. We will make it up to you </bter. The party is over. Please

 leave now.N?velDrama.Org is the owner.

 “And, of course, before you go, please delete any photos or videos from your phones. Let’s all forget what happened here today. We would greatly Appreciate iL

 A former soldier, Jeffreymanded respect without needing to be angry. Everyone silentlyplied. In Vaporleon City, no one dared to cross the Berry family.

 After clearing their phones and having them checked by the Berry family’s servants and security, the guests left.

 Once things were settled in the hall and the servants and security were keeping an eye on things, Jeffrey exited through the back door to find Christian

 In the darkness, a hand reached out to Lea. She looked up and saw Alfred. The surrounding lights cast shadows on his face, making half of in hidden, but his concerned eyes seemed warm.

 She ced her hand in his. His hand was a bit cold, but the feel of his skin made her heart race and also brought her pesce. Only now did she truly believe that everything happening was real.

 “Miss Lea. please get up” Someone helped her up from behind.

 Most of today’s guests were older and had children Lea’s age. Some couldn’t help but feel sympathy and extended a hand to Les

 She stood up, wiping her tears. “Thank you, madam”

 “The cut on your face is pretty deep. You should go to the hospital and get it checked out. Such a pretty face, it’d be a shame if it scarred, someone

 She nodded and bowed in thanks.

 People around started talking excitedly

 “Isn’t Helen supposed to be this once–in–a–century genius, a top student!”

 “Yeah, she developed an artificial brain at sixteen. That’s why the Berry family and the Fraley family have grown so fast in recent years

 “A genius like that… Who would ve thought she’d be like this in private? Humph, so young and shameless. Even as an outsider, I’m embarrassed”

 “Ugh, it’s really an eyesore, I don’t know how to cleanse my eyes after seeing that”

 “Matilda’s so arrogant just because she has a wless, genius daughter. Turns out, this is who her daughter really is.”

 “Exactly. We can’t let our daughters y with her anymore.”

 “And Matilda always lectured me on how to raise a daughter. What a joke!”

 “Can you believe it! Matilda turned out to be such a woman!”

 “Yeah, she’s beautiful, talented, capable, always on top. But who knew she’d use such dirty tricks against

 Miss Lea”

 *Remember neen years ago when Miss Lea was brought to the Berry family! Matilda publicly promised to treat her as her own. We all thought she was so kind–hearted, raising another woman’s child”

 “Right, it made us cry back then. Everyone praised her for being beautiful inside and out.”

 Poor Miss Lea. From the looks of it, she must have been abused many times over the years.

 These <bdies and their kids had lived under Matilda and her daughter’s shadow for years, feeling oppressed. Now, they finally had a chance to vent

 As Lea heard all this, a smile flickered in her eyes. She had won this battle beautifully. The mask of Matilda and her perfect daughter had been torn off. Their reputation in Vaporleon’s high society was ruined. And this was just the beginning.

 Lea said “thank you” to Alfred and ran toward the back door.

 In the parking lot of the backyard, Christian waited for Jeffrey. The Luxora car started up and headed back to the old mansion.

 “Grandpa. Grandpa?” She ran in front of the car, arms outstretched to stop it

 The car grazed her as it passed, knocking her to the ground, but she didn’t care. She stumbled to her feet and blocked the car door..

 “Please, Grandpa, save met Take me with your Lea shouted.

 Christian only wanted to go home after what happened. His heart wasn’t good, and the family doctor was already waiting at the old mansion. But now, the car couldn’t move.

 Jeffrey stopped her. “Miss Lea, what are you doing?”

 She ignored him, grabbing the car door with one hand and Christian’s sleeve with the other. “Grandpa, you saw what happened. Mom wants me

 Christian, who had been a powerful figure for decades, saw it clearly it was a setup against Lea. Everyone saw ?L

 “That’s not all?” She cried, tears streaming down her face. “For years, Mom and Helen have abused me, hitting and yelling at me. They forced me to research artificial brains day and night. I did everything they asked

 “But now, they still won’t leave me alone. They humiliated me at your birthday party. Don’t leave me here, or I’ll die, Grandpa

 Christian was shocked, his body shaking as he sat “Y–you said you developed the artificial brain“”

 Jeffrey was also stunned. “Miss Lea, you can’t say things like that. No matter what, you can’t be to Mr. Berry

 “It’s true, Grandpa. I’m not lying, I can prove it” She clung tighter to Christian. No matter what, she had to make him take her tonight. Otherwise, once Matilda rescued Helen, they would kill Lea and im that Helen was set up by Lea, which was why she was with those two men.

 And then Christian, who loved Helen, would use his power to cover this all up. After some time, everyone would slowly forget about the whole thing-
