Chapter 414
The snow was a luule heavyte at night in winter. <b>T </b>
The splendid <b>and </b>spacious square outside Iverton Hotel was quiet
Lea stood before the stairs. A few strands of her brown hair were hanging about her cheeks. Her pale face was stained with a bit of blood, and her breathing was as <b>cold </b>as ice.
Her torn bloodstained dress was left spread out on the steps. There was already a little snow on it. <b>Lea </b>looked serene in the dim yellow light.
Above the steps, Milton stood and looked at her quietly, as if he was admiring a famous painting of the century. He seemed to be lost in the
“Mr. Andrews” Thomas called out, walking over <b>with </b>a fur coat
He was about to ask Milton to go back together, but Alfred interrupted him, saying, “Give this coat to her.”
Thomas didn’t want to. Moreover, Lea would not ept it. But Thomas couldn’t disobey the order.
Just as he <b>was </b><b>at </b>a loss, Jason had already taken arge down jacket from the car and <b>came </b>to <b>Lea </b>
“Miss Berry, get in the <b>car</b>, or you’ll freeze,” Jason <b>said</b><b>. </b>
Tm fine. The cold helps clear my head” Lea was very calm.
She liked this coldness and breathing in this cold air. All this made <b>her </b>feel especially sane.
Lea then took the down jacket and put it on to keep herself warm Jason fell silent <b>and </b>stood by the side, waiting for her.
<b>Thomas </b>heaved <b>a </b>sigh of relief <b>and </b>stood back obediently with the fur coat in his arms. “Mr. Andrews, let’s go back.” It <b>was </b>too cold.
“There’s <b>a </b><b>lot </b>of work <b>waiting </b>for you. You’ve <b>got </b>a few contracts of big projects to sign off on. And a few big <b>shots </b><b>are </b>waiting to dine with <b>you</b><b>,” </b>Thomas added
“Put off all of them. If anyone has a problem, just cancel it” Milton ordered, his gaze fixed on Lea
Thomas looked at <b>him </b>in a daze, doubting his decision. “I‘–put off? Mr. Andrews, those are important <b>precious </b>work.”
Those will bring him profits, connections, power, wealth… Those help him reach greater heights in the future and the goal of his life. That should be his life’s work. Thomas thought.
“Important precious work?” Milton looked <b>at </b>Lea even more deeply. His gaze was passionate. He wished he could have her for himself. “It’s just something worthless.”
Before <b>Lea </b>took Christian away tonight, Milton was deeply shocked by Lea’s maniacal love for Alfred. It was not until <b>she </b>did <b>such </b>a crazy thing <b>that </b>Milton figured everything out
He became so envious of Alfred. In the past, he had always looked down on Alfred. Now, he realized that he hadpletely lout to Alfred
Milton was willing to give everything, including part of his life, for that love,
Thomas trembled violently. He felt that Alfred had gone crazy orpletely changed because of Lea
“But whoever rejects me will be removed from Iverton, Milton demanded. His eyes darkened, showing a cruel determination. “Let them understand that if they are either my allies or enemies. My enemies die in the end.”
Thomas suddenly looked up at him. “Mr. Andrews?”
Milton was calm, rational, and powerful. “If someone is not my ally, he’ll be Alfred’s ally, Strike first.”
Previously, Milton couldn’t figure out Alfred’s motives before. However, ke personally brought him to this birthday banquet to drop a hint- Alfred was <b>going </b>to do what an heir should do.
Besides, Liliana sided with Alfred so countless people would favor him. The battle between Alfred and Milton now truly began.
And there’s Lea, Milon thought.
Thomas finally understood what Milton meant. “Yes, Mr. Andrews,” Milton replied.
This is Milton. He <b>makes </b>me <b>feel </b>so familiar and different. He’s showing his true self bit by <b>bit</b><b>, </b>Thomas thought. At the sa

letting Alfred inherit thepany. This was unfair.
Lea waited for a while more. It had been almost two hours since she left the hotel. Her phone finally rang
She b
immediately picked up the call.
“Lea-” The man’s voice was hoarse and had lost its original timbre.
Tears instantly rolled down her face. Lea wiped them away<b>, </b>and they felt cold in her <b>hands</b>.
It <b>was </b>Alfred. No matter how h
his voice changed. Lea could always recognize it.
“I’m here” Herv
voice cracked and tears rolled down her cheeks again tears of joy.
Lea had been waiting for his call <b>and </b>finally heard his voice.
“Baby, are you happy?” Alfred’s <b>voice </b>was filled with joy on the phone as he was in a good mood.
“Yes!” She sniffed. “I’m very <b>happy</b>. I like it very much.”
Under those circumstances, Alfred had risked everything to protect himself just because he was hers. Of course, Lea was happy.
“Alfred” she whispered.
“Yes?” Alfred replied.
Lea looked up, trying to hold back tears andpose herself.
She wanted to tell Alfred that she only wanted him to stay alive. For Lea, nothing was more important than his life.
After a moment of silence<b>, </b><b>Lea </b>said instead, “I love you.”
“Yes, I know,” Alfred said
They both <b>knew </b>what each other <b>was </b>thinking though they didn’t <b>say </b>it out loud.
“Baby, go back now. Don’t get a cold.” Alfred urged.
This was the first time he called Lea baby. The second time, he said it smoothly from the bottom of his heart.
Lea listened and enjoyed it.
Tm going to Conrad Hospital. Ile back to spend Christmas with you” Alfred sounded much more rxed and confident
“Got it I’ll go <b>back </b>and sleep now, Lea said.
<b>“</b><b>Yeah </b>This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.
After hanging up, Lea cheered up, full of spirits.
She wiped theers of her eyes and could not hold back the smile on her face. She said to Jason, “Let’s go back.”
On the steps, Million looked at the smile on her face and felt unhappy. He did not expect this happy ending
He thought that Alfred and Lea would break <b>up </b>because of this. However, their rtionship deepened.
But when Milion saw the <b>smile </b>on Lea’s <b>face</b>, he was actually happy-
