Lea watched the video from start to finish without missing <b>a </b>second.
She had tasked Jason with monitoring Nixon. Understanding the importance of the matter, he had employed a professional team and high–end equipment. They captured everything clearly, including every word spoken.
She ced her phone face down on herp and smiled sinisterly.
Henry probably never imagined that the person he always looked down on and treated like a tool would one day dare to attack him and insult him. His death was indeed miserable and disgraceful.
Lea wasn’t surprised that Nixon would do something like this.
From her investigation and the incident with Frank, she had already seen Nixon as a ruthless and unprincipled person.
Nixon was Henry’spdog and tool, but he was also using the Fraley family to gather power and wealth<b>.</b>
If Henry hadn’t looked down on Nixon due to his background and had instead paid more attention to him, he might have noticed the threat and prevented it.
Henry had been on her list of targets, and not being able to eliminate him herself left her slightly regretful.
Lea replied to Jason: [Continue to monitor them.]
Jason: [Yes, Miss Berry.]
Alfred nced at her and raised an eyebrow. “Good news?”
“Yes, great news.” Her eyes sparkled with a calcted look <b>as </b>she told him about the video.
She had been furious and frustrated that Nixon had been bailed out,plicating her ns. But with this new development, things became different
“Nixon has practically helped me. The matters in Vaporleon City will soon be resolved,” she said. She felt delighted as the victory was within reach.
“Good,” Alfred said, sharing her good mood.

“I know.” She responded calmly, but the truth was, she was a bit nervous. She was determined to be

Half an hourter<b>, </b>the car slowed down as it approached the entrance of Andrews Manor in Kentside Garden. It moved steadily towards the gate.
Lea gazed through the car window. She looked contemtive as she looked at the grand and magnificent architecture. This wasn’t her first time seeing Kentside Garden.
In her previous life, Milton had brought her here while pursuing her, and she had passed by it several times afterward. Yet, seeing this mansion again left her in awe.
<i>The </i>pl
que at the grand gate was inscribed with “Kentside Garden.” It was nked by two–story buildings. There were security posts, and white marble statues adorned the entrance.
The entrance was spacious and lush with green grass, creating a unique and serene atmosphere. This ce had once been a royal residence. It waster bought by the Andrews family’s ancestors to serve as their main residence.
It stood as the only private residence among the royal estates in Iverton that had been purchased. It became a symbol of the pinnacle of status and prestige.
The car drove straight through the gates.
Inside, the expansive grounds preserved the original royal architecture while incorporating modern elements. It created a unique fusion of architecture.
At the rear of Kentside Garden was the famous Rear Sea of Iverton, bordered by a vast golf course. and facing the ancient royal pce. The location was unparalleled.
ke had five sons and two daughters. They all had moved out of Kentside Garden to establish their own homes, leaving him as the sole resident.
Alfred parked the car in front of the main building. He exited the car and opened the door for Lea. He noticed her fingertips were cold and instinctively tried to warm them by gently squeezing her fingers.
Leaposed herself, withdrew her hand from his, and smiled slightly as she exited the car.
“Let’s <b>go</b>.” Alfred indicated with a tilt of his head.
“Okay,” she responded.
Alfred pushed open the door.
An elderly man with a cane stood in the center of the grand hall.

ke’s gaze
fell back on Alfred, growing more intense. The innate authority of a high–ranking elder radiated from him.
This was the first time Alfred had shown an interest in a girl.
In a family like the Andrew family, their descendants were highly valued, especially the heir.
So, when Alfred turned eighteen, the family’s rtives were already busy selecting potential marriage partners for him. However, he rejected all of them, appearing disinterested in women. This led the family to specte about his orientation.
Moreover, ke keenly sensed a certain intangible harmony and intimacy between Alfred and Lea. It was possibly due to their strikingly matched appearances, which made him ufortable.
Lea stood gracefully, understanding the emotions in ke’s eyes.
“Are you waiting for me?” Alfred teased, breaking the invisible tension. He nced at the side tableden with delicious food.
ke snorted, looking away. “Nonsense. Lunch was justte today.”
“Really?” Alfred replied knowingly. “Your appetite is so good. You eat so much despite the doctor’s orders against high sugar and fatty foods? Are you sure you’re eating thatrge pork yourself?”

Alfred replied, “Sure, it’s your house. You can do whatever you want.”

“Thank you,” Lea replied. Her manner was impable.
“Hungry? Let’s cat,” ke said, taking her arm to lead her to the dining room.
ke jested, “Girls are indeed more considerate. I envy your grandfather for having such a sweet granddaughter. Unlike my grandsons, who are all unruly.”
Without considering other factors, he genuinely liked Lea at first sight.
“Especially Alfred and Milton,” ke added.
The mention of Milton made Lea’s heart sink briefly. She showed a brief moment of sorrow, but she quickly reced it with a gentle smile.
