“Tell me in detail how it happened and why the video was posted online? Matilda had calmed down. 

“I wrote a note and asked Lea to go to the top of the building after school. Then Shannon and I went up there and saw her, no. Lily, standing on the roof of the building” said Helen. 

She was going to ask Lily to come with them, but she couldn’t find her after class. “I thought it was Lea, so I asked Shannon to push her off the edge. Shannon was too scared to do so, but the opportunity didn’t come every day. So I went on my own and pushed her off the building Who would have thought it was Lily standing there! 

“Lea would always be there every time I wrote her a note.” Helen didn’t even think about it and didn’t look carefully, so she assumed that person was Lea. 

Matilda inhaled heavily as she listened, Helen did not put Lea in the eyes, so she carelessly walked into Lea’s trap. “Where’s the note? Matilda asked. 

“The note fell to the ground, and I picked it up and swallowed it in case it gave me away,” answered Helen. 

“Helen actually wanted to kill Lea with such a simple plan. That’s so naive and reckless, thought Matilda. 

“You know all about the video surveillance at school. Why would you do it on your own” Marilda couldn’t figure it out, 

“Shannon is a hacker. I told her to get rid of the surveillance, just like usual, so there wouldn’t be any surveillance that caught us going up to much less me pushing someone!” said Helen. But she also couldn’t figure out what went wrong, and it scared her, “Mom, do you think Shannon betrayed me? She asked with a ferocious light in her eyes. 1 would definitely kill her if she dares to do so she thought. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Matilda shook her head. “She was with you at the top of the building. Betraying you did no good to herself. She wouldn’t do something so stupid.” 

“Then, what’s going on with those videos on the Internet? Was it Lea! Just like last time, at Grandpa’s birthday party Helen panicked again. way! It can’t be her Helen said incredulously 

Matilda shook her head again. “Nothing is impossible. She’s capable, and I suspect that Alfred helped her Matilda didn’t think Lea could do all this alone. No matter how capable she was, she was still on her own 

Both of them had their hands on the table. Helen was still holding Matilda’s hand, and when she heard her say that, she slowly loosened her hand. 

‘Mom’s right. Lea is really something. Lea excelled in every test and was a genius at school. She even worked on artificial brains. Looking back, I used to take credit for her work and look down on her. Now, I can’t do anything on my own and have lost to her many times. As I face the possibility of losing everything, I can see the huge gap between us. And now, she’s even managed to get close to someone as amazing as Alfred and won his heart. It’s a rough truth to swallow, but it’s real, Helen thought. She suffered an unprecedented blow inside and was disheveled. 

Matilda looked at Helen and held her hand in pain. “Don’t worry, Helen. You have met For decades, no one could defeat her. No matter how capable Lea was, she was just a girl 

“That’s right. I have you, Mom. Lea does not have a mother!” Helen instantly regained confidence, and her eyes were lit up. “Mom, thank you. I love you!” She had a mother who set things right for her so that she would always stand at the top and shine brightly. 

Matika nodded with a soft face. “What about Shannon? What did she say?“ 

She 

he knew H 

Helen had a couple. 

ouple of goons at school, and she vaguely remembered Shannon’s name. 

“She didn’t say anything. Mom. Let her take the fall for me!” Helen said with a firm face, 

When the police arrested her at the school, she was in a hurry to get out of trouble, and when she saw Shannon, who was also arrested, she just 

identified her. 

Maulda was pondering the situation. On her way here, she had her crew double–check all the info, and in the video, Helen did ID the person. She had thought about it, too, but it was up to Shannon to pull it off. Ants freaked out when stepped on, and Shannon wouldn’t play along so easily. 

When Helen saw her lost in thought, she chimed in. “T’ve still got her mom’s fate in my hands. She’ll plead guilty without a fuse” 

Matilda’s eyes lit up, and she nodded. “Stay here with patience, Just insist that you didn’t push anyone, and I will take care of it as soon as I can and come to get you home.” 

Twill!” Helen clutched Matilda’s hand and rodded vigorously. 

Leaving the Nastalian restaurant, Lea asked Craig to send her directly to the Berry 

Berry Group’s headquarters building. 

With the group’s stock dropping like this, Christian must be working late, so she came to check on Itim. 

When the car was almost at the building, her cell phone rang. It was a message from Eddie. [Miss Lea, Mr. Andrews can’t eat spicy food. He’s already in the hospital now.] 

Lea panicked and was about to tell Craig to turn the car around when another text message came in. [Don’t worry. He will be fine. I just want to tell you not to take him to any spicy food in the future.] 

She clutched her cell phone, stared at it for a moment, and decided not to go to the hospital, 

Obviously, Eddie sent her this message behind Alfred’s back, and she would nail his lie if she went 

She could tell that Alfred looked out of sorts when they were at Chili Village. When she asked him about it, he said he was fine, but he kept rating to prove it. And now, he was in the hospital. 

Why did he suggest Nastalian cuisine if he can’t eat spicy food? Is it because he knows I like it? So, he cares about me that much? Helen thought. Her heart ached with pain when she thought of what he had done for her in her last life. 

“Miss Lea, we’re here: Craig had already parked the car, Tll send you upstairs.” 

Her thoughts were pulled back, and she shook her head. “No, I’ll go up myself. You can go now” Lea put on her backpack, took her luggage, and pushed the door to get off. 

Craig watched her enter the building before driving away. 

Lea took the elevator to the eighth floor and went to the president’s office. 

It was getting dark, long past the end of the work hour. Most employees had already left, and the unoccupied floors were dark and cold. The eighth floor was illuminated, including the president’s office, other executives offices, and the conference room. Everyone was working overtime for a meeting. The sounds of the argument echoed into the hallway, creating a tense atmosphere. 

Only when she reached the door she heard Christian’s voice. 

There’s no way to stabilize the stock price?” he asked. 

“Sorry, Mr. Berry, we’ve tried everything” 

“What’s the worst that can happen if the fall continues? 

Those shareholders on the board of directors are already sitting on their hands. It will trigger panic selling by the stockholders. The company doesn’t have enough cash flow to operate, the partners will falter, and in the worst case scenario, the company will go bankrupt]” 

Christian’s body swayed, and if it wasn’t for the iron bones and steel will he had developed in the military in his youth, he would have already been unable to stand 

The conference room was in a sullen atmosphere. A storm was coming.
