Chapter 169 

Christian was dragged away by a few old buddies to chat. Lea moved around on her own and saw Shannon and the others among the guests.. 

For the formal and grand occasion, Shannon wore a white dress. Her facial features were exquisite. and beautiful, and she looked pure and clean. 

Ever since Shannon got away from Donna, she grew more confident and competent. There was a sense of determination and tenacity in her. Even in a gathering of socialites, the simply–dressed. Shannon was not overshadowed. 

Yannis wore a suit. His posture was even more upright, and his facial features were also very handsome. He was not used to such an occasion, so he quietly followed Shannon. 

Chris was also here. She wore a sleeveless one–piece business suit with a round collar and wide- legged pants. The material of her outfit was excellent. Her skin glowed, and her long hair was tied behind her head. She looked intellectual, elegant, and capable.. 

Chris was the one who brought Shannon and Yannis to the party. She was also the one who brought them to buy their outfits and even styled them. 

Unlike Yannis and Shannon who were worried about their friend, Lea, Chris was not worried and was purely here to watch the drama. 

Lorrand was also here. He stood not far from them and had come with the same goal. 

Charles brought the big shots from the laboratory to the party too. Though they highly valued their scientific research, they specially took time to celebrate Lea’s birthday and her admission to Conrad University. 

At this moment, Charles was chatting with his friends. 

Seeing that they were all here, Lea was in a good mood and her smile became more sincere. She thought, ‘If Alfred were here too, it would be perfect. 

On the second floor, in a VIP room, a man stood next to the glass window and looked down at the scene. His gaze followed Lea, taking in every detail of her. 

“Mr. Andrews, aren’t you going down to see Miss Lea?” Craig asked in confusion. 

To rush over to celebrate Lea’s birthday, Alfred had been very busy in Iverton for the last few days. that he did not sleep. He had pushed off many important things and especially rushed over on the private plane from Iverton.

Craig couldn’t figure out why Alfred didn’t go down to see Lea.

“With my status, if I go down, the situation will go out of control. I want Lea to celebrate her birthday how she intended.” Alfred turned to look at Craig. “What? You’ve been with me for so long. Can’t you tell?” 

Craig took a while to reply. “I… just think Miss Berry will be very happy to see you.” 

Alfred nodded. His attitude toward Craig immediately changed. 

Craig silently noted it down. However, he did not believe Afred’s words. He felt that something was about to happen. He could barely wait. 

In the hall, everything was ready. It was almost time. Christian led Lea onto the stage to give a speech before the party began. “Welcome, everyone, to my granddaughter’s birthday party. She’s 18 years old today.” 

Christian looked at Lea beside him, appearing doting and proud. 

There was a round of applause. 

“Congrats, Miss Berry. Congrats, Mr. Berry,” many people said to them. 

“Today is also her graduation party. My little granddaughter has been accepted into Conrad University, Christian went on. 

“Wait!” Just as the guests were about to clap again, Helen stepped forward and interrupted 

everyone. 

Everyone was stunned for a moment before their eyes lit up. 

Although Helen was far inferior to Lea in terms of looks and temperament, she still had her background. Compared to her peers, Helen was also very outstanding. 

Looking at Helen and Lea, some people were envious and sang their praises. 

“I really envy Mr. Berry for having two outstanding and beautiful granddaughters,” a man said. 

“If I had known, I would have let my son have a daughter,” an older woman whispered. 

“That’s right. That grandson of mine is a good–for–nothing. He’s infuriating, another woman. added. 

The voices went on. 

Helen walked forward in her high heels. The stage was not high and she was almost at the same

level as Lea and Chiristian. “After Conrad University’s interview, Lea didn’t take out her acceptance letter. Lea, do you have the letter or not?” 

As soon as Helen said that, the atmosphere changed. The guests were puzzled. 

Shannon was shocked. She thought, ‘Lea didn’t get the acceptance letter? She wasn’t accepted by Conrad University?” 

Shannon had never seen the acceptance letter. She immediately became nervous. 

Yannis was just as nervous and worried as Shannon, 

Chris raised an eyebrow. Lorrand and Charles were also stunned. 

In the VIP lounge upstairs, Craig immediately thought to himself, ‘Fuck!” 

Alfred frowned. Lea had also told Blake that she did not have an acceptance letter. Alfred still remembered his grandfather’s expression. It turned out that Lea really did not have the acceptance letter. 

Alfred looked at Lea, who was standing beside Christian. She looked calm. Thus, he was not worried. 

The entire venue fell silent for a while. The guests exchanged glances and started discussing. 

A guest asked in a low voice, “What’s going on?” 

Someone explained, “The acceptance letter for Conrad University is issued on the spot after the interview.” 

“Oh! So, she didn’t get accepted?” the 

guest confirmed. 

“That’s right,” another person chimed in. 

“Then why did she still say that she got in? She even wanted to hold a school acceptance party?” the guest continued asking. “This is so embarrassing.” 

“I’m embarrassed for her,” someone added. 

“Look, Mr. Berry’s face is red,” a voice pointed out. “But why did Miss Helen call her out publicly?” 

“Those two sisters don’t get along at all, one of the guests explained. 

“Exactly. Miss Lea is illegitimate,” a man said.

“Mrs. Berry has been abusing Miss Lea all along,” another voice stated.

Matilda also heard those whispers. She no longer cared about family scandals, her past scandals, and her reputation. It didn’t matter as long as she could watch Lea be embarrassed publicly. Matilda’s lips curved into a sneer. 

Helen could not help but laugh. The expression on her face became even more smug. 

Christian heard everyone’s whispers and understood what was going on. He glared at Helen and said in a deep voice, “Leave!” 

Helen was instantly enraged. She had just celebrated her nineteenth birthday not long ago. Her mother had organized a grand celebration for her, but it was not as grand as today. Christian had only shown up that day. 

As Helen expected, Christian was biased toward Lea. Even now, he still wanted to protect the bitch and chase her away. 

Helen thought, “That’s right, Grandpa did me wrong first. She said, “Grandpa, we can’t lie in front of our friends and influential guests.” 

Christian was speechless. He turned to Lea. “Where’s your acceptance letter?” 

Lea looked up at Helen indifferently. 

Helen grinned. “Lea, tell us then? You’re not scared silly, are you?”
