Chapter 91
Helen stood up. “Thank you for your concem, Lea. It really wasn’t a big deal. You <b>made </b>a fuss over nothing” In front of their grandfather, she was gentle and obedient. Even her lone was soft.
Lea responded, “But it was murder in public”
“What murder! I was saving someone. <b>Helen </b>immediately became flustered, her <b>voice </b>sharp in defense.
“Lea!” <b>Matilda </b>quickly interrupted. “You just came back from your tutoring <b>session</b>, so you don’t know the full truth. It’s not your fault for believing the rumors online.”
She continued, “<b>But </b>as a daughter of the Berry family, you should trust your sister and believe in the integrity of our family. This matter has already been rified. Do not say <b>anything </b>more that could <b>tarnish </b>our family’s reputation.”
Her words were exactly what Christian wanted to hear, and he nodded <b>in </b>agreement,
Saving someone” Lea scrutinized Helen with <b>a </b>cold gaze. What <b>a </b>clever <b>reversal</b><b>, </b><b>turning </b><b>a </b>murder into a rescue.
Ignoring the warning <b>in </b>Matilda’s words, Lea smiled faintly. “I understand. Helen, you should <b>also </b>be careful in the future. Our family’s loss this time is quite significant.”
“Oh!” She feigned sudden realization. “Fraley’s loss must be substantial too.”
Matilda’s <b>face </b>turned <b>sour </b>as if two sharp arrows had pierced the bleeding wound in her heart. Helen clenched her fists, looking as if she wished she could kill Lea
Christian said gravely. “Lea is right. Don’t do <b>such </b>foolish things again
The family’s reputation was damaged, thepany suffered great <b>losses</b>, and he himself was deeply embarrassed. Such unnecessary <b>disasters </b>were utterly foolish.
Helen bit her lip. She and her mother had just managed to cate Christian
They had rushed back from court, quickly changed clothes, and hurried to see him. They racked their brains to appease him.
Recently, Helen had been terrified and exhausted. Her body barely held up, but she still had to endure in front of her grandfather,
Yet, Lea, this little bitch had provoked Christian’s displeasure again with <b>just </b>a few words. Helen cursed inwardly. Damn it! She should be deadr
Matilda shot a furtive <b>nce </b>at <b>Christian</b>. <b>As </b>expected, he now harbored some distrust towards Helen.
“Christian is right. I will make sure Helen learns her lesson” As <b>Matilda </b>spoke, she gently stroked her daughter’s back.
Receiving her mother’s signal, Helen immediately lowered her head in apology. Grandpa, I <b>understand </b>my mistake. I will be more cautious in the future.
“Alright” Christian nodded. “Go real.”
Only then did <b>Maulda </b>lead her daughter away
Lea nced at Christian. He didn’t suspect there was more to the story.N?velDrama.Org holds this content.
Indeed, for the court to release Helen without charge, the evidence must have been solid. Yet Lea <b>was </b>still angry. It was such a good opportunity. but Helen got away unscathed
After briefly greeting Christian, Lea went upstairs to her room.
Christian frowned. Lea wan’t even joining him for dinner tonight. <b>He </b><b>assumed </b>it <b>was </b>because the <b>SAT </b>exams were <b>approaching </b>and her study pressure was making her irritabile.
Back in her room, Lea opened her browser and <b>saw </b>that Helen was trending. “Helen acquitted. She is inutocem”

Lea <b>thought </b><b>for </b>a moment, opened a new window, and entered some code to investigate them.
She discovered changes in Lily’s parents‘ assets and business dealings, though nothing overtly suspicious. However, they had purchased flight tickets to Trales.
