    Chapter 253


    “Take good care of him” ke instructed <b>the </b>doctor before turning toward the <b>hall</b>.


    Ray followed closely behind. “Mr. Andrews, the day is about to break. You should get some rest.”


    ke’s face was etched with exhaustion from a sleepless night, his aged features more prominent than ever. Nodding, he headed towards his bedroom


    He needed rest.


    At eighty, his body was frail. Despite enjoying a life of high status and luxury, he was meticulous about his health, striving to extend his life.


    <b>Just </b><b>as </b>he entered the living room, someone hurried over, “Mr. Andrews, the tech department can’t crack the hacker’s virus.”“”


    ke’s expression stiffened, his brows furrowing. We’ve enlisted every hacker <b>capable </b>of breaking the virus, but none have seeded. This is <b>a </b>new type of hacking technique. To crack it, we need the developer


    ke’s face darkened further, a mix of anger <b>and </b>humiliation.


    1 Lea forcing me to beg her? Does she deserve <b>it</b>?” he wondered.Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    <b>As </b>dawn broke, a trending topic shook the onlinemunity once again.


    Five of the top ten media outlets, along with several well–known journalists, were exposed for epting bribes <b>and </b>spreading fabricated major


    <b>Tiews </b>stores.


    Dwayne <b>had </b>arrested one of the key figures.


    Coincidentally, the news about Riverview Hospital had all been published by these media outlets and journalists.


    Lea had a dreamless, restful sleep, waking up at eleven in the morning.


    Alfred was keeping Christianpany, and lunch was ready in the hospital cafeteria, prepared to be delivered.


    Chris had some work to report. As they waited for lunch, they discussed business.


    Lea checked her phone and browsed the web.


    The bribery and nder scandal involving the media outlets was spreading like wildfire. People began questioning the credibility of these journalists, with some suggesting that the Riverview Hospital incident might have been fabricated.


    The debate grew more intense, creating a powerful wave of public opinion.


    Meanwhile, Riverview Hospital announced a press conference at noon.


    The <b>news </b>was disseminated through Dynamite Technology’s channels and shared by top–tier celebrities under Degolden, <b>quickly </b>bing <b>a </b>trending topic <b>online</b>


    Chris reported, “People from Vaporleon City have arrived, including the medical department. They’re fully prepared


    “The Foxy Livestream team <b>has </b>set up the press conference venue”


    “A few pharmaceutical sales agents are <b>also </b>here. Mr. Wessen <b>is </b>showing them around theboratory”


    Lea paused, looking at her.


    Despite the prime minister’s trending topic, the pharmaceutical agents wouldn’t have approached so quickly.


    Chris had arranged for them toe. She exceeded Lea’s expectations.


    Lea nodded. “Proceed with the press conference <b>as </b>nned”


    “Understood<b>.</b><b>”</b>


    Just <b>as </b>lunch arrived, Craig was setting the table when Luke came to report. “Mr. Berry, Miss Herry, Ray, the butler from Kentside Garden, is here. <b>asking </b>to see you. Should we let him in?”


    someone <b>from </b>Andrews Manor came, he didn’t let them <b>upstairs </b><b>and</b>


    Afterst night’s events, Luke considered ke a <b>sworn </b>enemy. Thus, when som made them wait downstairs


    Chapter <b>253</b>


    He understood his <b>grandpa </b>well. Compromise was out of the question. ke had been forced into this situation by Lea.


    Alfred was impressed that she had managed to push ke so quickly.


    In their previous life, Alfred knew about her rtionship with Milton and had refrained from getting close to her to avoid causing trouble. They never got to know each other <b>deeply</b>, so even now, he <b>didn’t </b>fully understand her.


    He was curious about how she had managed to make <b>ke </b>back down


    Christian paused, looking at Lea. ke figured it <b>out </b>so quickly<b>?</b>”


    He immediately dismissed the <b>lea</b>.


    Alfred had always been resolute, <b>and </b><b>now </b>he <b>was </b><b>even </b>more stubborn. <b>What </b>is he <b>nning </b>to do to Lea? Christian wondered.


    Christian’s <b>face </b>darkened. “What’s there to see! That bastard…


    He nced at Alfred and corrected himself. “What does ke want now? Is he nning to threaten the Berry family!”


    Christian was well aware of the recent events. He knew Lea had offended the Oliver family by crippling Rex, <b>leaving </b>him permanently disabled. and getting him expelled from Conrad University. The Oliver family sought revenge.


    The Oliver family <b>had </b>significant influence in the military, <b>so </b>Christian didn’t doubt their involvement.


    If he knew ke was behind everything, he would have confronted him directly.


    “We’ll know once we see him. Bring him up Lea <b>said</b>, ncing at the food on the table. Christian had already started eating


    <b>She </b>hadn’t touched her meal yet, as she nned to dine at Kenside Garden.


    Soon, Luke led <b>Ray </b>into the room. Ray’s expression stiffened slightly upon seeing them already dining.


    Andrews Manor staff had made arrangements early in the morning Ray was sent to <b>invite </b>them for lunch, but it seemed he was a bitte.


    “Hello. Mr. Berry, Miss Berry, Mr. Andrews, he greeted them before looking <b>at </b>Christian and Lea. “Mr. ke Andrews has <b>sent </b>me to invite you and Miss Berry for lunch.”“


    As the butler of <b>a </b>century–old family, Kay was polite yet carried an air of authority.


    Even in extending an invitation, there was no sense of surrender orpromise.


    “No!” Christian refused outright.


    <b>They </b>couldn’t be summoned and dismissed at will. The Berry family wasn’t inferior to the Andrews family.


    Ray hesitated, looking at them again, and said, “Christian, you and ke share a deep bond. The two families will continue to interact in the future. Please, for the <b>sake </b>of the children, join us for lunch”


    Ray’s words were from a neutral standpoint.


    In the future, if Lea and Alfred were to get married, it would be crucial for both families to maintain harmony.


    Alfred calmly picked up a piece of green vegetable, eating it slowly without even ncing at Ray. On this matter, he would follow Lea’s leadpletely


    Christian, caught off guard, looked at Lea


    She had <b>already </b>expressed her unwaveringmitment to Alfred. She had never asked Christian for anything, <b>so </b>on this matter<b>, </b>he was determined to support her and help her achieve her wishes. Though he didn’t refuse Ray again, he turned away, still visibly angry and firm in his


    Lea nced at both of them and spoke gently, “Grandpa, ke has gone to the trouble <b>of </b>preparing lunch and has personally sent Ray to invite us. Let’s go and <b>have </b>this meal.”


    Ray looked at her, noticing her confident and calm demeanor. She had anticipated that ke <b>would </b>be asked to invite her to lunch.


    Lea is indeed <b>remarkable</b>, Christian thought.


    Christian looked at her, feeling <b>a </b>pang of sorrow. <b>Though </b>she didn’t show any signs of being aggrieved or yielding, he still felt a deep sense <b>of </b>pity.


    ‘If it weren’t for ke, she wouldn’t have <b>to </b>go through this <b>for </b>a man. I’ll remember this debt, he thought, letting out a cold snort. Seeing this, Ray quickly extended the invitation again. “Mr. <b>Andrews </b>sincerely invites <b>you </b>and Miss Berry to lunch<b>. </b>Please do a

    Christian <b>finally </b>relented, albeit grudgingly. “Since ke is so sincere, we’ll show you this t


    “Thank you Ray immediately responded.


    Then…” He turned to Lea.


    “Let’s p

    Alfred immediately put down his utensils and stood up to support Christian


    Ray <b>was </b>taken <b>aback</b>. “Alfred isn’t even this attentive to his own grandfather. No wonder ke is upset.

    Alfred paid no attention to Ray, simply supporting Christian <b>as </b>they walked forward. Since they were going to Kentside Garden, he would <b>go </b>along to keep an eye on things.
