Chapter 117

 He raised his chin, silently and stubbornly.

 The answer was self–evident.

 “Jeffrey, didn’t I treat you well? Christian asked. He was sad and angry.

 When they were young, it was still a chaotic era. They had experienced war together and on the battlefield, they were brothers who owent through thick and thin.

 They were not blood rtives but closer than rtives,

 They had lost many teammates, so those who survived had deep connections and cherished each other.

 After the war ended and he retired, Christian returned to inherit the family fortune.

 As for Jeffrey, he came from a poor family. At that time, he had no family and nowhere to go. It was Christian who took him in.

 Christian offered a butler job for Jeffrey, but Christian and the Berry family respected Jeffrey greatly and had never treated Jeffrey as a servant.

 The sry Christian gave Jeffrey was also the highest among the butlers. He bought the best retirement insurance and health insurance for Jeffrey.

 In the past two years, Christian had even bought Jeffrey a vi for retirement.

 Christian even prepared the cemetery for Jeffrey, It was the best in Vaporleon City

 Jeffrey could retire and live a rich and carefree life if he did not want to work anymore.

 Christian had made the best arrangements for Jeffrey, giving Jeffrey what he could and what he thought was best.

 He felt that he had not mistreated Jeffrey.

 “Treated me well?”

 Jeffreyughed sarcastically. He felt unfair and resemful.

 “Christian, we used to be on the same team. We risked our lives together. The enemies I killed, the contributions 1 made, and the injuries I suffered. Which one of them wasn’t more than yours?

 “But look at this.”

 wo steps forward, spread his arms, and showed himself.

 Jeffrey took two

 “You’re the owner of the Berry Group. You’re worth hundreds of billions, and you’re a national hero. The entire country pays attention to you and worships you. The business world, politics, and the military all respect you.

 “But me Who remembers me!

 “No one remembers my sacrifice, my credit.

 “Even at the important Military Achievement Memorial, I was invisible, a servant.

 “To put it bluntly, I’m just a ve.”

 Jeffrey finally blurted out the reason in his heart. He felt it was only natural for him to do so.

 Christian was furious.Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

 on the ground.

 His hands trembled, and his walking stick made cracking sounds on

 Lea looked at her grandfather’s sorrowful expression and turned to look at Jeffrey. “So, that was the reason you betrayed Grandpa and even drugged him and used his life in exchange for power and wealth?”

 Jeffrey pursed his lips and red at Lea, ucitly agreeing

 Christian looked at Jeffrey, his eyes a little unfocused. It was human nature that everyone in the world came for benefits, but Christian could not believe it

 With their rtionship, why would Jeffrey use his life in exchange for wealth and powert

 Was money really that important!

 Chapter 117

 “It’s just that I’m curious, Miss Lea How did you know I was the one who drugged him! Hasn’t the murderer been spotted!” Jeffrey looked at L with a questioning expression.

 He did not think that there was anything wrong with drugging Christian and spotting Melissa as the murderer.

 “Melissa isn’t the murderer. The murderer isn’t that stupid. She’s kind. If she wanted to take revenge because of her son, she wouldn’t have waited. until now.

 Melissa’s son had already lived a stable andfortable life. He had already survived the difficult days.

 She did not go into detail about using a cat to taste poison

 Then why didn’t you tell the truth!”

 1 did.” Lea turned to Christian, “But Grandpa wants to give the murderer a chance for old times‘ sake.”

 She turned to look at Jeffrey again. “But from the looks of it, you don’t appreciate it at all.”

 Jeffrey was shocked and looked at Christian with a pale face

 was filled with sorrow and disappointment. His expression was miserable and exhausted. This was a huge

 Lea looked at Christian again. His face w blow to him

 “Grandpa, Jeffrey works for you. I’ll leave him to you.”

 With that. Lea went downstairs.

 Jason was surprised and immediately followed.

 Christian was shocked again. Looking at her departing figure, he was touched.

 Lea headed straight to the garden outside.

 In the middle of the summer night, in the open garden, the lights were bright, the grass was green, and the fountain was pleasant to the ears. Looking up, there was a clear night sky filled with stars.

 She stood quietly in the middle of thewn. Such beautiful scenery did not catch her eye.

 “Miss Lea

 Jason came forward and ced his hand in front of her.

 “Let me take the phone and card and repair them. We should be able to find the roastermind”

 Alfred had world–ss hackers under him. It was not difficult to repair them

 “No need. Throw them away”

 He looked surprised. “You’re not going to find the mastermind!“

 “I have my ns

 With the memories of her previous life, Lea knew who Jeffrey had called.

 Lea could do it herself if she wanted themunication information on Jeffrey’s phone, but that was not what she wanted.

 Even if the found out about Matilda through Jeffrey, Christian would at most punish Matilda. At worst, Matilda would be chased out of the Berry family.

 However, Matilda still had herpany, private assets, and the Fraley Group behind her. She was still powerful and rich.

 There was still a big world awaited Matilda. It would be even harder for Lea to deal with her,

 Jason stared at Lea, feeling more and more confused.

 She was just a high school student expecting the SAT exam, Jason was not stupid but an elite selected and nurtured by the Andrews family, However, Jason could not understand what Lea was thinking.

 She was the same kind of person as Alfred. She was unfathonuble.

 Lea exposed the mole effortlessly and even figured out what had happened in the past.

 When Jason thought about what happened tonight, what Lea had done deeply inspressed him.

 Chapter 117

 Eyeing this fairy–like little girl again. Jason felt reverence in his heart..

 “Alright, I’ll throw them away”

 On the second floor, in Jeffrey’s room.

 Christian took a deep breath and seemingly swallowed everything back into his stomach. His expression turned cold.

 Jeffery, who instructed you to do this? Are you not going to tell me?”

 Jeffrey shook his head and made his choice.

 He did not say anything when he was threatened previously.

 Now, Lea, the person involved, had withdrawn Jeffrey knew Christian well. On ount of their past rtionship, Christian would not be ruthless.

 Jeffrey might survive if he insisted on not telling Christian about the mastermind.

 If he told, the mastermind would skin him alive.

 Christian stood there for a long time before saying, “Leave. Don’t appear in front of me again”

 However, there were no longer any personal feelings in his voice.

 The deep connection between the two of them ended there.

 Jeffrey looked up at Christian, stunned. A hint of regres shed across his eyes, but soon, his gare turned cold.

 He did what he did. He would not have regrets.

 After freezing for a moment, he suddenly strode out. The more he walked, the quicker his footsteps became.

 He had to run far away immediately since he had escaped deaths.

 Hearing the sound of Jeffrey rushing downstairs, Christian finally lost his bnce. His body swayed, and he fell to the side. Yet, he reached out to support himself against the wall in time

 “Sir, are you alright”

 After walking Dwayne out Victor went upstairs.

 He had witnessed what happened. He was down and angry but was even more worried about Christian.

 “I’m fine.” Christian was physically and mentally exhausted, but he stubbornly gritted his teeth and stabilized his body.

 He would not show weakness under such circumstances.

 Jeffrey left without bringing anything with him. He exited the iron gate and headed toward the city center.

 Jeffrey had only walked more than a mile when a figure suddenly appeared before him somewhere nobody in Christian’s ce could see. Jeffrey

 was started.

 “Miss Lea, what are you doing! Are you backtracking and taking revenge on me in private”

 He looked at Lea, who was blocking his way, and then at Jason behind him.

 Although she had only brought Jason with her, it seemed that the driver was not an ordinary person. It was more than enough to stop Jeffrey.

 “Miss Lea, you’re scheming. You said you would leave me to Christian in his favor, but now, you want to execute me.

 Unul now, if Jeffrey suill could not understand what kind of person this youngdy was, he would be so stupid.

 Matilda had controlled Lea since Lea was young, but Lea managed to escape at the most critical moment and pushed Helen into the fire pit,

 Lea had caused Matilda and her daughter to suffer consecutive setbacks while repeatedly escaping from the traps.

 Tonight, she had even used a small trick to catch Jeffrey

 No one in the Berry!

 ry family could match up to such intelligence and scheming

 Lea took a few steps forward. She was not aggressive, and her voice was gentle.

 Jeffrey, you’re worrying too much. I would leave you to Grandpa, and I meant what I said, I’m here because I have something to ask you!”

 Chapter 117

 In Lea’s previous life, Jeffrey had helped Mati kill Christian and kicked her out of the house. Lea had no one to rely on afterward, so it could be considered a grudge.

 But Lea was not in the mood to fuss over such a small matter, and Jeffrey wasn’t on her death list.

 Jeffrey was shocked, “What do you me

 “Let’s talk somewhere else.”

 Jeffrey did not want to leave with her. What if Lea coaxed him into somewhere remote to imprison him, torture him, and interrogate him about the mastermind? Or what if she took revenge on him for kidnapping and torturing her?

 Lea nced at him. She understood what he was thinking

 She could get the information she wanted by interrogating Jeffrey, but she refused to do it.

 She walked into the greenery on the side of the road and waited for Jeffrey, just enough to avoid the gazes of the surrounding people and the pedestrians who might pass by

 Only then did Jeffrey realize that she only wanted to ask some questions.

 He looked around warily and went toward her. “What do you want to ask?”

 “About my background”

 irs and was Christian’s confidant. He must have some understanding of what happened neen

 Jeffrey had been with Christian for over forty years

 years ago
