Chapter 124

 Matilda opened her makeup kit and took out lipstick in the underground parking garage of Fraley Hospital. Facing the mirror inside the car, she began to apply it, outlining her lips. Despite having just handled Jeffrey’s funeral arrangements, she was still dressed in a ck dress, her lengthy hair pinned neatly behind her head, exuding an air of solemnity

 She had

 no respect for Jeffrey, handling his funeral was merely to appease Christian. She harbored resentment towards him internally. If it weren’t for his ipetence, Lea would have died long ago, and she wouldn’t have had to endure her existence. Christian even wanted to give her shares, support, and munure her. Helen, the eldest granddaughter of the Berry family, has yet to receive such an honor. If this continues. Lea will soon remove Helen’s position in the Berry family

 Fortunately, Frank escaped, leaving Lea with no leverage to use against her. And she still has the leverage to drive Lea out of the Berry family. With this in mind, Matilda’s mood instantly lifted, and a smile crept onto her face. After applying her lipstick, she unbuttoned her cor, revealing her ample bosom, exuding allure and sensuality

 Matilda pushed open the car door with a bang and headed to the dedicated elevator, where she entered the code. The elevator opened, and she stepped inside, heading straight to the top floor.

 The door to the top floor swung open revealing a path strewn with crimson rose petals generously scattered from the entrance to the bedroom and bathroom doorways. A bottle of expensive wine and two tall sses ressed on the table. The air was filled with a sweet fragrance, and the luxurious surroundings and romantic ambiance immediately put Matilda at ease.

 “Marida,e in. I’m here,” Nixon’s voice echoed from the bathroom. His maic tone carried a hint of indulgence, deliberately teasing, and coupled with their over twenty years of emotional connection, even a woman like her in her forties couldn’t help but feel moved.

 Matilda smiled seductively, cing her purse on the table before heading towards the bathroom. The door was ajar, revealing a top–tier bathtub in front, where Nixon was soaking, Rose petals flested on the water’s surface, enunting a more decadent fragrance. “My queen, what are you waiting for!” he teased.

 “ying around at this age, isn’t it a bit embarrassing?” she muttered, her face flushing despite her words.

 Ssh! He rose from the water, lifting her and lowering them into the bathrub. “In my eyes, you’re always the youngest and most beautiful,” he whispered, nibbling at her ear as he helped her undress.

 “You’re so glib–tongued. Yet she couldn’t resist falling for it

 Perhaps it was because Ewan had only shown her fear and awe in the decade of years within the Berry family. After Maulda dealt with his affairs outside one after another. Ewan started to loathe her. However, Nixon’s romantic gestures, typical of younger lovers filled the gap that she had been missing, satisfying her addiction.

 She nestled against his chest, feeling her skin burning, “What did you put in it?” she asked, somewhat surprised.

 “Just some essential oils; it’ll make you feel rxed andfortable.” He smirked, massaging her. “It’s not like it’s the first time you’ve used it. Why are you soteric Come closer.

 “Nixon, I need to discuss something important with you,” she said, unable to rx due to the weighty matter on her mind. “Ewan is currently staying at Riverview Hospital and seems quite patient. I suspect he’s hired a private investigator to look into me. We shouldn’t take this lightly during this critical time.”

 “I’m well aware,” he said confidently. “Let him investigate. After all, he won’t find anything in this room. As for anything else, I deny it. We’re just colleagues with a lot of work to handle together. Our time together is rtively limited. Then, I’ll arrange for the mediapany to leak his past affairs and photos of his pregnant lover online and get him to the trending searches. We’ll spin it as him ndering you to justify a divorce

 Nixon continued. “That little brat Lea Berry is quite cunning. How are you nning to deal with her

 “On the 7th of next month, at her birthday banquet,” she said with a steely gaze brimming with deadly intent. If we wait any longer, that geezer Christian will make her the next sessor,” she added.

 “Don’t get angry, his fingers intertwined with her hair, “When she’s kicked out of the Berry family, whether she lives or dies, it’s all up to you.” He picked up the remote control from the side and opened the bathroom’s curtains.

 “Why did you open the curtains? She hurriedly retreated into the water,

 “What are you hiding from? You can’t see anything from outside, remember? He pulled her up. The windows on this entire flour are made of unique material, making it impossible to see inside from the outside.

 “Look at that beautiful view outside. Doesn’t it seem like the entire city is lying at our feet?” The sun had set entirely, leaving only a hint of light at the horizon before total darkness. The city lights began to shine, with skyscrapers illuminated brilliantly, resembling a city of a thousand stars.

 “The entire city at our feet? Matilda murmured in response.

 used as a tool to marry someone she did the surface, everything seemed perfect, but behind the scenes, she was cheated on and unloved by her husband. She meticulously schemed put everything under her control and rise to the top. But now nothing Absolutely nothing

 Nixon touched her shoulder, lifting her chin to give her a better view of the grand scene outside. “Once Lea Berry is dealt with, without the geezer holding you back and without Ewan as an obstacle, everything will be yours”

 Her eyes gradually brightened with excitement, absorbing the entire city’s nightscape.

 Before long, the room was filled with soft, seductive sounds, Outside the ss window, a drone, tiny as a fly, clung to theer, capturing everything happening inside.

 On the other end of the drone’s connection. Quicksilver poured a ss of water and returned to theputer. Seeing the screen, he spat out the water in shock, eximing. “What the- If Ewan saw this, it would probably infuriate him to death.

 The ss on the top floor of Fraley Hospital was designed to be opaque from the outside, but Quicksilver’s equipment used the Lars technology specifically to bypass such defenses. He could see everything It was why 198 Mighty was so forble–not only did they have the best detective minds, but also the most advised tools,

 On Riverview SmartMed’s eighth floor, Lea looked at the sky outside the window, which lead tiredpletely dark. It was about time. She look out her phone and made a call: “Mr. Alfred, please ask your friend to send the message now.”

 “Sure, let’s have dinner tonight.” Alfred’s voice sounded gentle and rsger

 “Great, it’s my treat” Whenever Lea had the time, she wanted to be with hum Hanging up the phone, she turned to theputer screen, where six windows disyed different angles monitoring the top floor of Fraley Hospital.

 The two individuals inside the room, under the influence of the drugs, were deeply engrossed in their intimacy. A loud bang echoed through the room as if the sky were falling. The door was forcefully kicked open, and someone rushed in. The two intertwined figures were suddenly startled, caught up in their intimacy.

 “Ah Matilda let out a sharp, agonized scream

 Thud Nixon w

 was stunned that he had lost his grip, causing Matilda to fall from the bathtub and hit the ground hard, crying out in pain.

 In an instant, the person who entered was already outside the bathroom.
