Her Revenge Returns (Lea and Alfred) novel Chapter 136

Chapter 136 

Henry asked, “How much?” 

*Currently estimated at around 200 million dollars, Matilda reported conservatively. 

He was seething in frustration. Though reluctant, spending the money was much better than going to prison. 

Moreover, the shareholders had been hounding him since midnight to resolve the issue. If they too faced criminal charges, they wouldn’t spare 

him either 

Henry said. “Alright, let t 

them take the money, but make sure they keep their mouths shut. Tell them what can and can’t be said.” 

“Understood” Matilda breathed a sigh of relief. Resolving this matter was crucial. As long as Henry agreed to spend the money, they could manage 

the crisis. 

“I’ll handle it right away. As she turned to leave, the door swung open, and Max rushed in with a tablet. He said urgently. “Mrs. Matilda, there’s another problem” 

Matilda tensed but remained composed, thinking nothing could be worse at this point. 

Henry snatched the tablet. Upon seeing the trending topic, he flew into a rage. 

He hurled the tablet at Matilda. “How much more have you been hiding about Nixon?” 

Matilda stepped back, narrowly avoiding the tablet. She immediately knelt to pick it up. Her high heels made the action awkward and uncomfortable 

Looking at the tablet, she became utterly nervous. Lorrand had exposed everything and accused Nixon. Previously, she had claimed ignorance about Frank’s actions to protect Nixon. 

Now, Lorrand had revealed the illegal medical practices, the use of unqualified drugs, and the coercion of subordinates using their families as hostages. Additionally, the death of Lorrand’s wife and the removal of his infant daughter’s organs were linked to Frank’s case, implicating the hospital 

This indicated their hospital was involved in more than just a lone serial killer’s actions. Trying to settle this issue with money was no longer feasible. The Riverview Hospital and Lea left them no chance for survival. 

“Speak now!” Seeing Matilda dazed on the ground, Henry shouted. 

Matilda lifted her bead. “Dad.” 

Then, a heavy slap landed on her face. 

She fell to the ground, instinctively covering her face. She could taste the blood as it dripped from her lips. 

Max stood by silently while witnessing the scene. 

Having followed Matilda for over twenty years, Max had seen her in her prime and glory, but only in front of her father did she show such subservience. Now, she was humiliated and wretched, utterly defeated. 

Henry questioned, “Matilda, I entrusted you with the hospital to preserve and expand our legacy. What have you done? Why did you do this?” 

His rage was uncontrollable, and he raised his hand to strike again. 

“Mr. Fraley!” Max immediately pleaded, “Mrs. Matilda didn’t know about these things… 

Henry’s gaze fell on him. 

Max quickly added, “She has been busy with the Berry family matters and had no time to manage the hospital affairs. She only knew the general state of the company. Mr. Donovan handled all the specifics.” 

Matilda, with tears streaming down her face, looked at her father. She silently admitted to Max’s words. Only this way could she protect herself from her father’s rage. 

However, she knew the truth all too well. Nixon never shared the details but informed her of the benefits gained and the methods used. Their only mistake was being too harsh on Lorrand’s family. 

When Matilda heard about Lorrand’s wife’s death and his daughter’s kidney removal, she even criticized Nixon for being too ruthless, as it would drive Lorrand to desperate measures. 

Or rather, she thought Nixon was not ruthless enough to kill Lorrand 100, giving Lorrand a chance to retaliate now,

“Then you deserve even more punishment! He raised his hand to strike again. 1 entrusted you with a hospital worth billions of dollars, and this is how you managed it?” 

“Hit me Matilda sobbed, her voice hoarse. 

She was breaking down under the pressure. No matter what she said, she would always be guilty in Henry’s eyes. She no longer had the energy to deal with him. 

Matilda retorted. “A hospital worth billions of dollars? When you gave me the hospital, it was a failing institution, heavily in debt. In twenty years, it has grown from a debt–ridden small hospital to a listed company. Its scale and profits multiplied a hundred, a thousand, a million times.” 

She added, “Do you think such rapid development comes easily! You only enjoyed the fruits, but you blamed it all on me when something went 

wrong. 

Then, another slap silenced her. 

Henry was about to strike again but paused. At this point, hitting her wouldn’t solve anything. 

He 

M, “Matikda, even if in means sacrificing the Berry family, you must fix this mess. Otherwise, you will lose everything and spend the rest of 

life in prison. And Helen. You know what her life will be like if her mother ends up in prison.” 

With that. Henry turned and left the office. 

Matilda knelt on the ground. Tears streamed down her face while she watched Henry leave. 

“Mrs. Matilda…” After Henry left, Max quickly stepped forward to help her. 

She picked up the tablet and looked at the trending news again. 

Among them, another headline about the Dark Union caught her eye, explaining why Frank’s secrets were uncovered so thoroughly with the help of this detective group. 

Be it the military, police, media, or detective group, Munad no energy to deal with them now. They were beyond her control. This new blow 

made her more vigilant
