Chapter 134
Seeing his granddaughter go upstairs, Christian glanced towards the guest room. The soundproofing was excellent, and there was no more
It seemed despite his anger, Henry didn’t lay a hand on his daughter again. Christian breathed a sigh of relief.
noise.
However, with such a major incident, the company’s stock plummeting, and the group in turmoil, there were many things to handle. So, Christian took Victor to the study to work overtime.
Meanwhile, he kept an eye on Matilda and Henry. Since there were no further disturbances, he left them alone. After all, it was their family’s matter. Christian couldn’t interfere even though they were relatives.
In the guest
room. Matilda collided with the door and fell to the ground.
When Henry raised his hand for another slap, she held his legs, crying and pleading, “Dad, I was wrong. I failed you. I have let you down, let the Fraley family down, 1…
Henry ultimately did not strike Matilda. Hiuing her now wouldn’t help. He had called her here to handle the situation.
Henry asked. “What exactly happened? How do we stop the loss and recover from this?”
He sat on the chair and listened to her report. Matilda was silent and trembling on the floor. After a long pause, she explained the situation,
After Nixon was arrested and the hospital was sealed off, she immediately arranged for the most excellent legal team to bail him out. It was to bring him back to handle the situation and to understand the police’s stance.
The team, comprising over a dozen top–tier professionals in Vaporleon City, was armed with elite connections across various sectors. They worked for five hours to grasp the specifics of the situation
The police had more information than Nixon and the hospital knew. They even obtained all electronic records of the surgeries Frank performed at Fraley Hospital, as well as his statements and his employment contract with the hospital.
Matilda and Nixon had destroyed all related information at the hospital a few days ago. They denied Frank’s employment, but it was all in vain. This time, there was no escaping.
“Idiot” Henry could no longer sit still. He slammed the table and stood up, shouting. “I told you not to rely on Nixon, but you wouldn’t listen. Now look at the mess!”
Matilda looked at Henry, five finger marks appearing on her cheeks. Tears welled up in her eyes, and her disheveled hair clung to her face, dampened by the tears. She looked miserable, yet her eyes were filled with defiance.
It was not her decision that the hospital valued Nixon. In fact, Henry personally entrusted the hospital to Nixon after he achieved some decent results. But she dared not say these words.
Matilda explained, “Dad, Frank is a serial killer with an antisocial personality. He hid it so well that even the police only discovered it after many years. The hospital didn’t know his background”
She could only insist on their ignorance.
Matilda truly didn’t know much about Frank’s crimes. Nixon only had a slight inkling. She had only vaguely sensed something wrong because she needed Frank to kill Lea. However, as long as they were unaware of Frank’s crimes, the losses were the hospital’s and not theirs. They wouldn’t be convicted.

“Useless” Henry could only curse as the
we must compensate the victims for their losses and give the public a satisfactory explanation”
Matilda was also at a loss. “Now, we must
“Compemation! How much do we need to pay! How much has the hospital lost? How much is lefir Can it still operate?” Henry bombarded her with questions. He didn’t care about anything else, only his money.
Matilda didn’t dare to report the figures, fearing Henry couldn’t handle it and vent his anger on her again.
She said, “The finance department is still compiling the data. We’ll have to wait. I’m arranging for lawyers to contact them regarding the compensation lawsuin.”
Henry took a deep breath, suppressing all his anger and frustration. He looked at his daughter with disappointment.
He said, “Matilda, you have disappointed me
She stayed humbly on the floor, her eyes blurred with tears again.
Henry said. “Don’t ever think you can stay out of this because you’re the Berry family’s danglater–in–law. If this matter bn’t handleid well, you’ll be

kicked out of the Berry family. Don’t forget, your marriage with Ewan is built on the backgrounds of both families”
Matikia’s heart was filled with despair. Her marriage was already in tatters, and if these events were exposed, both she and her daughter would be finished.
She thought. “No. That can’t happen. Helen is still so young
ang. Her life hasn’t even started. She must get through this crisis.
“Dad, believe me, I will handle this” Matilda regained her confidence. The hospital’s losses are temporary. We can earn it back,”
This was also Henry’s hope, and his emotions calmed down a bit. Then, he asked, “You and Nixon…
He scrutinized Matilda for a long time, his sharp gaze seeming to pierce through her. Then he continued. “There’s nothing between you two, right?”
Their close collaboration in managing the hospital made hun uneasy
When the hospital was rapidly developing, with increasing income and rising stock prices, Henry didn’t care. But now, things were different. He had to ensure there wouldn’t be any more issues.
Matilda was stunned. She quickly lowered her head and shook it, denying “No, no.
Tears filled her eyes again, full of sorrow, anger, and unwillingness.
Henry’s expression finally softened a bit. “Get up, wipe your tears. Don’t let anyone here see you
In recent years, the Fraley family had developed rapidly, making Henry look down on the Berry family more and more. He thought Christian was an outdated relic. Hence, he couldn’t afford to lose his reputation because of this incident.
“Yes” Matilda wiped her tears and fixed her makeup before standing up. “Da, why are you here?”
Henry rarely interacted with the Berry family and hadn’t seen Christian for years. Moreover, coming here at this time would draw more attention to the hospital’s situation, which was unfavorable for them.
His face was filled with displeasure. “Do you think I wanted to come!”
