Chapter 355
Abigail’s eyes immediately showed a look of disappointment. “How much longer <b>do </b>we have to wait!”
“This situation with <b>your </b><b>cousin </b>is very serious. If it’s not handled properly, the Tanner family will suffer enormous <b>losses</b>.” Leika was agitated and
angry
The matter concerning Calvin had been exposed online, and millions of eyes were
ere watching. In an era where a century–old reputation could copse <b>instantly</b>, the impact was extremely damaging
The Tanner family’s stock price plummeted, losing <b>billions </b>of dors within minutes.
Leika added, “Our family will also be affected. Your father’s position is too important to be tainted by even <b>the </b>slightest scandal. Otherwise.”
His position would bepromised, with unimaginable consequences.
Abigail’s anger surged, her face twitching with pain, which only made her more furious.
The Tanner family had more money than they could ever spend, so losing billions of dors shouldn’t matter to them. Abigail didn’t care
e about the Tanner family’s losses.
As for her father, he had a high position so he shouldn’t have any concerns. He should immediately use his power to settle the Tanner family’s issue and deal with Lea<b>! </b>
Seeing her expression, Leika quicklyforted her, “Abigail, I know you’ve been wronged. Don’t worry. Lea will pay the price<b>, </b><b>and </b>you’ll be satisfied. Just wait a little longer, alright!”
Abigail remained silent for <b>a </b>moment before turning and heading upstairs.
She wasn’t going to wait any longer. Dealing with <b>Lea </b>wasn’t beyond her capability.
“Take good care of Miss Abigail, Leska immediately instructed the servants.
“Yes” The servants hurriedly followed her upstairs.
There was no denying that the <b>Erickson </b>family reacted quickly
That very day, Abigail’s father, Harold Erickson, made a public statement. He imed that Calvin’s <b>case </b>would be thoroughly investigated and that there would be no leniency.
That evening, in her dormitory study at the hospital, Lea sent the surgical n for Lorenzo to Lorrand. Then she opened the web page and saw Harold’s statement. It was trending at the <b>top</b>, right beneath Calvin’s trending topic.
Harold was <b>a </b>figure of immense power.
He didn’t attend public events and had low exposure, silently building his achievements in his position, with his influence growing steadily. His influence in the political world <b>was </b>akin to that of the Patton family in the military.
Before Lea traveled back in time. Harold’s position continued to rise after Leika and the Tanner family <b>gained </b>even more status and wealth. He became someone <b>even </b>Milton sought to connect with
He was Abigail’s greatest support. Topletely retaliate against Abigail, Lea needed to destroy Harold
<b>This </b>formidable enemy, whom Lea had been thinking <b>about </b>ever since she went back in time, had finally revealed himself.
The night was cold, with the air outside as icy as frost.
Alfred gently pushed the door open <b>and </b><b>saw </b>a faint lighting from Lea’s half–open study. That small light warmed his heart.
Christian and Ewan were still in Iverton, and it was rare for them to stay overnight here.
Even though it was already midnight after work, Alfred missed his girlfriend so much that he drove for an hour to get there.
The road conditions were poor, with patches of ice making the journey difficult, but it only made him more eager to get home. He <b>knew </b>the Berry father and son wouldn’te to this ce at this hour.
Alfred took off his down jacket, <b>leaving </b>it in the entryway closet, along with the cold that clung to him, and headed for the <b>study</b>. Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org.
<b>As </b>soon as he entered, he saw Lea bent over the <b>desk</b>, staring at theputer screen. Her small figure emanated a powerful intensity.
It was rare for anything to <b>capture </b>her attention sopletely that she didn’t notice his approach
Chapter <b>135 </b>
Alfred said. “Harold<b>, </b>are you nning <b>to </b><b>go </b>after him?”
Lea tensed up, finally snapping out of her thoughts. She turned and saw Alfred
He was wearing a white sweater, <b>still </b>carrying the cold scent of the icy night. It brought her to her senses.
He stood hacklit, his wless features were softened and his gaze was gentle. It made Lea want to fall into his embrace
Lea <b>was </b>naturally alert, with instincts that reacted faster than most, but not with Alfred. So, she didn’t realize he was behind her until he spoke. <b>She </b>turned her chair to face him.
Alfred stepped closer, gently brushing the stray hair strands from her forehead.
“Yes.” She nodded, her tone calm but firm. “The Erickson family, the Tanner family, I want them all.”
Abigail had killed Alfred, their child, and her people. The Erickson and Tanner families were all her aplices. <b>Not </b>one of them could be spared.
“But we’ve got plenty of time. We’ll take it slow.” Lea tried to mask the urgency in her heart.
She knew Alfred was far more powerful than <b>she </b><b>was, </b>and whatever she wanted, he would give her. But she couldn’t let him get hurt or sacrifice himself. She had to avenge her wrongs
Of course, she wanted to exact revenge as <b>quickly </b>as ponible, but she wasn’t strong enough yet. Going head–to<b>–</b>head with these two families now would be a losing baule.
Lea needed to exact her revenge, but more importantly, she wanted to live well with Alfred.
Alfred’s gaze flickered briefly, but he hid his emotions He understood what she was thinking and what she was worried about.
He also knew the depth of her hatred. Although she had <b>never </b>spoken <b>a </b>word about it, suppressing her emotions, never showing them in front of him, he <b>knew </b>it all
Alfred had never dared to <b>ask </b>Lea what had happened when he was no longer around
But their cluld <b>had </b>died. She had returned with a deep and unyielding vengeance. And she hade back only two years after him.
It must <b>have </b>been his greatest fear. Alfred didn’t ask because he didn’t want to bring up <b>bad </b>memories that would cause her pain.
While he was still alive, Abigail, the Tanner and Erickson families, had been there with <b>Lea </b>
Seeing her actions now, Alfred understood everything.
“It’s not too dificult. Harold may hold a high position, but his background is not clean. His tone was calm, with no hint of tension.
People like Harold weren’t enough to threaten him.
Seeing Alfred’s reaction, Lea felt a weight lift off her chest
His hand rested on the chair as he leaned in, his warm breath brushing her face. Lea, you’re sull young, just a twenty–year–old college freshman. You’ve already risen so quickly, creating a new history of brilliance. His eyes were filled with pride, <b>a </b>sense of shared honor. “We have plenty of time, no need to <b>rush</b><b>.</b><b>” </b>
Lea could feel the warmth of his hand on her forehead, his scent filling her nostrils, and his fiery gaze was all she could <b>see </b>
He <b>had </b>stripped away all her other senses until there was only him
Lea wanted Alfred. She wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him in for a kiss on his lips.
At <b>that </b>moment, she set aside her hatred and worries, focusing only on <b>him</b>.
Alfred couldn’t resist. If <b>she </b>weren’t busy and exhausted, with so <b>many </b>things left to do, he would <b>have </b>wanted nothing more than to hold her close and not let her leave the bed.
