Her Revenge Returns (Lea and Alfred) novel Chapter 124

Chapter 124 

Matilda opened her makeup kit and took out lipstick in the underground parking garage of Fraley Hospital. Facing the mirror inside the car, she began to apply it, outlining her lips. Despite having just handled Jeffrey’s funeral arrangements, she was still dressed in a black dress, her lengthy hair pinned neatly behind her head, exuding an air of solemnity 

She had 

no respect for Jeffrey, handling his funeral was merely to appease Christian. She harbored resentment towards him internally. If it weren’t for his incompetence, Lea would have died long ago, and she wouldn’t have had to endure her existence. Christian even wanted to give her shares, support, and munure her. Helen, the eldest granddaughter of the Berry family, has yet to receive such an honor. If this continues. Lea will soon remove Helen’s position in the Berry family 

Fortunately, Frank escaped, leaving Lea with no leverage to use against her. And she still has the leverage to drive Lea out of the Berry family. With this in mind, Matilda’s mood instantly lifted, and a smile crept onto her face. After applying her lipstick, she unbuttoned her collar, revealing her ample bosom, exuding allure and sensuality 

Matilda pushed open the car door with a bang and headed to the dedicated elevator, where she entered the code. The elevator opened, and she stepped inside, heading straight to the top floor. 

The door to the top floor swung open revealing a path strewn with crimson rose petals generously scattered from the entrance to the bedroom and bathroom doorways. A bottle of expensive wine and two tall glasses ressed on the table. The air was filled with a sweet fragrance, and the luxurious surroundings and romantic ambiance immediately put Matilda at ease. 

“Marida, come in. I’m here,” Nixon’s voice echoed from the bathroom. His magnetic tone carried a hint of indulgence, deliberately teasing, and coupled with their over twenty years of emotional connection, even a woman like her in her forties couldn’t help but feel moved. 

Matilda smiled seductively, placing her purse on the table before heading towards the bathroom. The door was ajar, revealing a top–tier bathtub in front, where Nixon was soaking, Rose petals flested on the water’s surface, enunting a more decadent fragrance. “My queen, what are you waiting for!” he teased. 

“Playing around at this age, isn’t it a bit embarrassing?” she muttered, her face flushing despite her words. 

Splash! He rose from the water, lifting her and lowering them into the bathrub. “In my eyes, you’re always the youngest and most beautiful,” he whispered, nibbling at her ear as he helped her undress. 

“You’re so glib–tongued. Yet she couldn’t resist falling for it 

Perhaps it was because Ewan had only shown her fear and awe in the decade of years within the Berry family. After Maulda dealt with his affairs outside one after another. Ewan started to loathe her. However, Nixon’s romantic gestures, typical of younger lovers filled the gap that she had been missing, satisfying her addiction. 

She nestled against his chest, feeling her skin burning, “What did you put in it?” she asked, somewhat surprised. 

“Just some essential oils; it’ll make you feel relaxed and comfortable.” He smirked, massaging her. “It’s not like it’s the first time you’ve used it. Why are you soteric Come closer. 

“Nixon, I need to discuss something important with you,” she said, unable to relax due to the weighty matter on her mind. “Ewan is currently staying at Riverview Hospital and seems quite patient. I suspect he’s hired a private investigator to look into me. We shouldn’t take this lightly during this critical time.” 

“I’m well aware,” he said confidently. “Let him investigate. After all, he won’t find anything in this room. As for anything else, I deny it. We’re just colleagues with a lot of work to handle together. Our time together is relatively limited. Then, I’ll arrange for the media company to leak his past affairs and photos of his pregnant lover online and get him to the trending searches. We’ll spin it as him slandering you to justify a divorce 

Nixon continued. “That little brat Lea Berry is quite cunning. How are you planning to deal with her 

“On the 7th of next month, at her birthday banquet,” she said with a steely gaze brimming with deadly intent. If we wait any longer, that geezer Christian will make her the next successor,” she added. 

“Don’t get angry, his fingers intertwined with her hair, “When she’s kicked out of the Berry family, whether she lives or dies, it’s all up to you.” He picked up the remote control from the side and opened the bathroom’s curtains. 

“Why did you open the curtains? She hurriedly retreated into the water, 

“What are you hiding from? You can’t see anything from outside, remember? He pulled her up. The windows on this entire flour are made of unique material, making it impossible to see inside from the outside. 

“Look at that beautiful view outside. Doesn’t it seem like the entire city is lying at our feet?” The sun had set entirely, leaving only a hint of light at the horizon before total darkness. The city lights began to shine, with skyscrapers illuminated brilliantly, resembling a city of a thousand stars. 

“The entire city at our feet? Matilda murmured in response. 

She was

Nixon touched her shoulder, lifting her chin to give her a better view of the grand scene outside. “Once Lea Berry is dealt with, without the geezer holding you back and without Ewan as an obstacle, everything will be yours” 

Her eyes gradually brightened with excitement, absorbing the entire city’s nightscape. 

Before long, the room was filled with soft, seductive sounds, Outside the glass window, a drone, tiny as a fly, clung to the comer, capturing everything happening inside. 

On the other end of the drone’s connection. Quicksilver poured a glass of water and returned to the computer. Seeing the screen, he spat out the water in shock, exclaiming. “What the- If Ewan saw this, it would probably infuriate him to death. 

The glass on the top floor of Fraley Hospital was designed to be opaque from the outside, but Quicksilver’s equipment used the Lars technology specifically to bypass such defenses. He could see everything It was why 198 Mighty was so formlable–not only did they have the best detective minds, but also the most advised tools,
