Chapter 297
In the afternoon, at a high–end socialite club, a group
p <b>of </b>Conrad University’s first–year socialites led by <b>Abigail </b>and Leona held a small banquet.
A few second–year socialite seniors were present. Almost half of the socialites about the same age gathered at the banquet.
The topic of the entire <b>banquet </b>had been about Lea
One rich girl started, “Have you <b>heard</b>? The Andrews <b>family’s </b>eldest grandson. Milton, has given it all out and even used his family’s power to find <b>a </b>way to save Lea without ke’s permission, but Lea rejected it.”
Another girl chimed in. “That’s what I heard”
Everyone exchanged information to confirm that it was true.
“I didn’t expect Mr. Milton Andrews to be so affectionate!”
The girls‘ expressions were filled <b>with </b><b>admiration </b>and infatuation.
With his top–notch looks, family background, and strength. Milton was the dream guy of the youngdies in Iverton. They did not expect have such an affectionate side. <b>How </b>could they resist? They instantly fell for him.
“Lea must have lost her mind to <b>have </b>rejected Mr. Andrews
“That’s right<b>. </b>Who does she <b>think </b>she is to reject him<b>? </b><b>I </b>wonder what stroke of <b>luck </b>she got to <b>have </b>won Mr. Andrews’s <b>favor</b>.”
“I wonder how that vixen has channed him”
“What’s so strange about <b>that</b><b>? </b>She’s someone who even dares to develop gene drugs. <b>What </b>method can she not use
That’s true. Otherwise, how would that <b>death </b>row <b>criminal </b><b>win </b>Mr. Andrews’s <b>favorf </b>
him to
The girls spoke one after another, but the more they said, the more difficult they found it to ept Jealousy filled the air, and they were about to go crazy from jealousy.
<b>What </b>they <b>dreamed </b><b>of</b><b>, </b>no matter how hard they worked, was something they <b>could </b>never achieve in their lives. However, Lea, the death row <b>criminal </b>they despised didn’t <b>give </b>it a shit and abandoned it like <b>trash</b>.
“Girls, you don’t need to spread such rumors. Abigail could not stand it anymore and <b>said </b>with a cold face, “You might not know much about the real aristocratic families. Any dishonorable person or thing is unepted, let alone a death row criminal.
“So. Mr. Andrews will not care about a death row criminal
“It’s even more impossible for the Andrews family to ept a death row criminal”
Everyone turned to <b>look </b>at Abigail. They were in awe of her <b>background </b>and naturally believed her.
<b>Someone </b>backed Abigail up. I <b>don’t </b>think it’s possible either. What Abigail said is true,”
After all, when it came to true aristocratic families, everyone present was for inferior to the Erickson family, and the <b>Erickson </b>family was close to the Andrews family.
Moreover, <b>only </b>Abigail’s information was the most reliable.
Another girl agreed. “That’s <b>right</b>. <b>That’s </b>right. Not to mention the Andrews family, even ordinary families would avoid a monster
“Yeah, there <b>must </b>be a mistake.”
*How could such a huge piece of news spread? It must be a rumor”
“How shameless Leah. She’s <b>about </b>to be executed but still tarnished Mr. <b>Andrews’s </b>reputation.
<b>“</b><b>Spraking </b><b>of </b>which, when is she <b>going </b>to be executed! I want to <b>see </b>it so badly.”
<b>“</b>Yeah, I can’t wait to see someone like her get executed.
“She must be crying and kneeling to beg for mercy.
“If she knew this would happen, she <b>shouldn’t </b>have done it.”
“Such a big event will spread online. They would see it.
r like Lea”

The discussion went on and on
The girls spoke <b>one </b>after another. The more they continued, the more excited they got. The atmosphere became lively.
As Abigail listened to the discussion, a triumphant smile appeared in her eyes.
Milton had done and sacrificed far more for Lea than these people knew, but Lea had turned him down.
Abigail could not ept the fact and wanted to twist the truth. She tried to use these people to spread the news that Milton didn’t have a thing for Lea, the death row <b>criminal</b>.
In the future, that was all that the world knew. The truth would be buried.
Lea’s reputation<b>, </b>beauty, feelings, and highlights would get <b>erased</b>.
That was the purpose of Abigail’s participation in such a banquet.
At dusk, it began to snow. The feather–like snowkes fluttered. The snow in n the i
It was the first snow of the winter.

Lea
amet the second person who visited her after bei
after being detained, the curly–haired man in his early fifties.
He <b>didn’t </b>like to sit down. <b>Standing </b>tall made him look more imposing.
The man looked down at Lea. “Miss Lea Berry, <b>you </b>chose Conrad Hospital over Milton. It was quite a wise choice. I admire smart people like you very much
He took two steps closer to the table, put his <b>hands </b>on it, and leaned down to look at Lea closely across the table. “Besides, you look so sweet and sensible now. Everyone likes sweet and lovable people.”
His bright eyes had already expressed how much he liked the current Lea, who appeared <b>obedient </b>and sensible
“It’s not a hard choice. After all, Milton is an individual, but Conrad Hospital is different.” Behind Conrad Hospital was the country and society. ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
<b>Conrad </b>Hospital was to take over her, her team, and Riverview Hospital.
There <b>was </b>no essential difference between the two<b>, </b>
If not for the deep hatred between her <b>and </b>Milion in her previous life, the protection and tform that Milton could provide would be stronger and better.
No one knew <b>this </b>secret.
<b>No </b><b>one </b>would think too deeply about it that a person, imprisoned for more than forty <b>days </b>and tamed by them, a freshman who was only eighteen. <b>years </b><b>old</b><b>, </b>could see the true difference between the two,
“That’s right.” The man admired Lea even more. “A person sentenced to death still has a chance to live. What a rare miracle. Lea, you have to cherish <b>it</b><b>. </b><b>You </b>should thank the civilized system of modern society.”
With that, he pushed the file he’d <b>brought </b>toward Lea and handed her the pen
Lea looked at the pen handed to her in midair and did not take it. Instead, she looked at <b>him</b>. The arrogance in her nature appeared in the eyes of the tamed genius again.
Lea said, “There’s only one reason I can live. Your so–called society needs my abilities.
“Heh!” The man <b>couldn’t </b>help but <bugh</b>.
Everyone appreciated the proud nature of geniuses. It was precisely this nature <b>that </b>allowed <b>them </b>to create human history.
Lea still didn’t <b>take </b>the pen. She looked down at the file. It was thick, with a dozen pages and dozens of uses,
“Tell me about your terms to see if I’m satisfied,” she said, looking at his pen before signing.
The man answered, “<b>Miss </b>Berry, you can read for yourself”
Lea snorted, “I told you, I’m alive not because of your kindness, but because <b>you </b>need me.”
The man frowned and slowly analyzed the terms for her. It took him nearly an hour to exin them one by one.
“Lea, you <b>can’t </b><b>get </b><b>any </b>more generous terms than this. Sign it,” He handed the pen forward.

Tying in the chair like a boss, Lea slowly sat up straight. Her gaze swept past the pen and stared into the man’s eyes. Thave another question. What’s your rtionship with Conrad Hospital?
The man was stunned momentarily before replying. “I told you the first time we met. I’m <b>a </b>specially hired employee of the institution. I have nothing to do with the <b>Conrad </b>Hospital.
Lea took his pen and stood up slowly. The tip of the pennded on the paper. Where she was required to sign, she signed
The <b>man </b>bent down and stared at the words she wrote bit by <b>bit</b>, his eyes bursting with urgency.
