Chapter <b>54</b>
At the exit used by the court personnel, a ck Mercedes–Benz SUV was waiting <b>at </b>the door. Christian was already waiting in the car.
Jeffrey apanied him.
Lex opened the car door, got in, and sat down beside him
“<b>Why </b>did youe out sote! What did you do?” Christian looked at her curiously.
He waited in the car for over ten minutes. The court <b>wasn’t </b>a shopping mall. <b>He </b>wondered what took Lea so <b>long</b>
Lea said, “I was just <b>walking </b>around. I thought you needed to rest for a <b>while</b>.” He was furious. His high blood pressure had probably note down
<b>VEL</b>
“Walking around?” Christian thought, What kind of fetish is this? Why does she like to tour around the court?
Lea remained silent.
Christian then said to the driver, “Let’s go back”
Matilda did note to the scene but stayed at home to watch the live broadcast. When she saw Shawn’s statement, she smashed the television with a bang
She took out her phone and called Nixon Donovan, giving him an order. “You have to remove Shawn’s statement from the Inte. Video, text, photos. <b>Don’t </b>leave any traces. We have to do a good job in public rtions at all costs! We <b>have </b>to salvage Helen’s and my reputations! Once this <b>is </b>done, feel free to ask for anything you <b>want</b>. As long as it’s something I <b>have</b>, I’ll give it to you
Right now, she was helpless. The only person she could trust to help her was him.
Although their rtionship was extraordinary, she knew how to win people’s hearts and use them for herself.
On the other end of the phone, Nixonughed.
Wiping his lips, he said. “What are you <b>talking </b>about? It’s my responsibility to protect you and Helen, I’ll deal with it right away.
Matilda <b>hung </b>up the phone. Max Fraley came forward with an anxious expression “Madam, the stocks are falling again”
Matilda’s face turned ashen <b>again</b>
Max added, “<b>What</b>… what <b>should </b>we do now?”
Thest time the stocks fell, they used up <b>all </b>the cash they could embezzle.
Max. continued, <b>“</b>And those trending <b>topics </b>on the Inte….”
She didn’t need to read it to know what the content would be and what the news media would write about her <b>and </b>Helen,
She said. “Prepare the car first. Let’s go to the vi”This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.
These things were no
were not as important as making sure that Christian was settled.
When Lea and Christian returned home, Matilda <b>was </b>already waiting in the <b>hall</b>
Hearing themotion outside, she got <b>up </b>to wee him. She saw Lea helping <b>Christian </b>into the house.
It was two o’clock in the afternoon, the summer afternoon sun <b>was </b>exceptionally bright. As it shone on Lea, she exuded the aura of youth and <b>was </b>devastatingly beautiful.
In just <b>a </b>few days, her temperament and aura had improved a lot. She had grown a loc
Christian and Lea looked like they loved each other and cared <b>about </b>each other,
Matilda was instantly envious.
<b>Christian </b>was cold and austere by nature and did not like to be close to his descendants.
I
<b>Back </b>then, when Helen <b>had </b><b>an </b>artificial brain and was a genius girl, he was overjoyed. He was so excited that he even said that he wanted her to <b>inherit </b>the Berry Group. However, he still had never been so close to Helen
Helen was also <b>a </b>little afraid of him.
Chapter 54
Now, apparently, Lea had broken this habit of his.
If this went on for a long time, coupled with the fact that Helen was still being detained, Matilda felt that Christian would definitely give the Berry Group to Lea.
She <b>thought </b>‘No, I will never let that happen!
Lea was also sizing her up.
Matilda had <b>lost </b>a lot of weight and her eyes were dark. It seemed that she <b>had </b>not slept well recently. Her exquisite and thick makeup could not hide her haggardness. Her backbone was also a little bent, and her bearing was not as good as before.
A smile appeared on Lea’s face,
Matilda’s pupils dted, and she gritted her teeth so hard that they almost shattered. However, she quickly reurained her expression and went forward gently to support Christian, “Dad, you’re back!”
Christian raised his hand <b>and </b>avoided her.
Her face turned pale and she froze on the spol.
Lea turned around <b>and </b>gave her a mocking and provocative look. She helped Christian sat down o
Libe
s
Matilda’s pupils diluted again and she almost lost control. She wanted to pounce on Lea and tear her apart. Lea liked to see the way that Matilda was angry and <b>unable </b>to release her anger,
Lea thought, Isn’t she always elegam? Then I will make her lose control bit by bit and be ugly.
After helping Christian sit down, Lea sat down in an armchair at the side <b>and </b>said to the servant, “Melissa, make a cup of coffee for Grandpa and I..
“Will do.” Melissa Powell went to the kitchen.
Matilda red at Lea coldly again and thought. This little bastard acts like the owner of this residence already!
Matildaposed her expression and came forward. She stood in front of <b>Christian </b><b>and </b>did not dare to sit down.
She looked at Christian and then at Lea Lea sat there openly, waiting to see her make a fool of herself
Matilda could not chase <b>Lea </b>away in front of Christian. The situation was urgent, and she <b>had </b>to do something serious. “Dad, the things that Shawn said and the rumors online are all ndering the Berry family. Their goal is to destroy the Berry family. Don’t believe the rumors.”
At this point, her eyes turned red and tears flickered as if she had suffered <b>a </b>great injustice. To thinking of a <b>way </b>to deal with these <b>things</b>. I definitely think of a way to make up for thepany’s losses<b>.</b>”
When Christian heard this, his face turned ashen and his expression resolute. He did not say a word.
Matilda felt even more apprehensive when she could not see his reaction.
“Shawn <b>was </b>sentenced to death. That’s why he has nothing to worry about. He’s spouting nonsense. He’s deliberately smearing <b>our </b>family!” Anyway, there was no evidence, so she could say whatever she wanted
As long <b>as </b>she refused to admit it, Matilda didn’t think that she would be held ountable.
“Enough” Christian was furious. His voice was so loud that the hall shook.
Matilda trembled <b>as </b>well.
Christian asked, “Matilda, let me <b>ask </b>you now. Is the school killing <b>rted </b>to Helen?”
She looked <b>at </b>Christian in shock. Facing his bright eyes and resolute expression, her breathing sank.
“No, absolutely not?” she said firmly, “Helen will be acquitted at the trial tomorrow,”
Christian <b>heaved </b>a long sigh of relief.
As long as Helen did not do this, everything che was fine with him,
The incident with Shawn was over. He had been sentenced to death, hispany had gone bankrupt, and his family was <b>heavily </b><b>in </b>debt. The oue was even more tragic than what Christian had <b>asked </b>for previously.
Christian was satisfied.
Chapter 54
Although there was this scandal now, it could bepletely suppressed.
Lea looked up at Matilda with a hint of shock in her eyes, Matilda sounded so confident that it was as if she was telling the truth.
If Lea didn’t know the truth, she <b>wouldn’t </b>have suspected her.
That was what made Matilda so good. She could twist the truth and rewrite the thith whenever she wanted to do something
Christian asked again, “Did you abort the child in that woman’s stomach!”
Matilda’s expression changed.
Someone had actually taken a video of <b>Janice </b>Gibbs’s incident and posted <b>it </b>online. Before Shawn was tried in coun, it even became a trending topic. Later on, it was pushed <b>down</b>
Matilda had yet to deal with that incident.
She did not expect Christian to find out about it.
She uid, “Dxd, 1.. I didn’t mean that. No matter how angry I am. I won’t hurt innocent children. I was too angry at that time. That woman even wanted me to divorce Ewan and leave the Berry family to give up my position for her. In a moment of anger, I asked the bodyguard to teach her a lesson. I didn’t expect the bodyguard to be so heavy–handed and hurt the child
She was the one who wanted to abort the child. Now, she had pushed the me in the bodyguard and appeared innocent.
“You shouldn’t have let this go viral and be known to so many people” Christian’s hear was filled with resentment. He was dissatisfied that she was so ruthless and vicious to an unborn child.
As for that mistress and <b>child</b>, when Matilda and Ewan got married, Christian had <b>said </b><b>that </b>Ewan was not allowed to have a mistress and even <b>had </b><b>a </b>baby
He could not care less about the former, but he was okay with aborting the baby to protect the interest of Marilda.
Matilda heaved a sigh of relief. “Dad, <b>I’m </b>sorry, I was wrong
If Christian did not pursue the matter, she would <b>not </b>lose anything,
She subconsciously nced at Lea, not knowing if this matter had anything to do with her.
However, she did not see anyws in Lea’s <b>face</b>.
“Go home. Bring Helen home tomorrow. I’ll take care of thepany Christian’s tone became peaceful. He was still supporting her.
“Yes, thank you, Dad” Matilda gave Lea a deep look, demonstrating and warning.
She thought, 1 am only temporarily affected. When I bring Helen back. I will deal with you.
Lea looked at her coldly. After being reborn, she was fearless.
