Her Revenge Returns (Lea and Alfred) novel Chapter 323

Chapter 323 

After receiving the call, Lorenzo rushed over to see Nathaniel, the most powerful and important person among the people they had arrested. 

When he arrived, it was already ten minutes after Alice had left. 

“Open the door!” Lorenzo ordered the guards. 

As soon as the lock was unlocked, he pushed the door open and entered with a bang. He saw Nathaniel lying on the table. 

His heart sank, and he pounced over to push the person. The person lying on the table fell to the ground. His expression changed, and he squatted down to check. Nathaniel was almost cold, and his body began to stiffen. 

Inside the apartment, the buzz of a cell phone broke the midnight silence. 

Afraid of waking up someone who was sleeping, the call was picked up on the second ring. 

“Lea, I’m sorry. Zeke and Nathaniel committed suicide.” Lorenzo’s tired voice was filled with helplessness and apology. 

He had already been on guard against this move and had sent more people to guard it. It was surprising that these two people could commit suicide in such a short period of time under their strict guard. 

When he didn’t hear an answer after a while, his apology deepened. 

Lea had entrusted such an important task to him, but he had messed it up so many times. He knew how disappointed she must have been. 

“Yes.” A mellow and pleasant male voice came from the phone 

Lorenzo jerked and thought, ‘Why was Lea’s phone picked up by a man? Moreover, it was three o’clock in the evening. It was time to sleep. 

Furthermore, from this man’s voice, it was clear that he was an outstanding man and somehow familiar. 

His brow furrowed. 

“Anything else important?” asked the man on the phone. 

Hearing this, Lorenzo could tell that it was Alfred. 

That made sense. Only Alfred could answer the call for her at this time. 

After all, the two of them were lovers. 

He had completely understood what was going on. Since he called so late, it was likely that he hadn’t disturbed them. 

“They left letters written in blood, confessing to everything and taking all the blame,” Lorenzo added. This was why he felt so powerless and guilty. 

The deaths of these two people made it impossible for him to continue investigating. He could not find the real mastermind behind this at all. 

“Let’s leave it at that. Just follow the usual procedures,” Alfred said. 

“Are we just going to let it go like this?” asked Lorenzo in disbelief. 

He knew these people well. They weren’t the type to surrender so easily 

Otherwise, Lea would not have risked her life to personally capture the enemy after being imprisoned for so long. 

“Yes,” Alfred replied firmly. He glanced over at the girl sleeping peacefully on the bed. “This is also what Lea wants.” 

She had mentioned the night before that this matter was essentially over. 

“Mr. Patton, you’ve worked hard. Let everyone rest early.” With that, Alfred hung up the phone and walked towards the bed. 

The faint light from the city filtered through the curtains, barely illuminating the room. 

Outside, the city stretched endlessly, bathed in neon lights. 

Inside, the bedroom was quiet and still. The girl on the bed lay on her side, her dark hair cascading over her face, her delicate features peaceful as she slept. 

Alfred gently lifted the blanket and lay beside her, wrapping his arm around her, contentedly closing his eyes. 

The next day, the news that Zeke and Nathaniel had committed suicide to avoid punishment spread. They left letters written in blood, confessing

to all their crimes, but their words were very ingenious. 

They claimed they had only been trying to improve human health and cure diseases like cancer, a dream shared by many in medical research. 

Their crime stemmed from their failure to develop a gene drug that was harmful to individuals. They were willing to face death as atonement for 

their sins. 

Not long after the news spread online, many medical researchers, doctors, students, patients, and so on came out to speak. They said that this was the spirit of medical scientists and that they were not wrong. 

There was even public criticism accusing Lorenzo of making a mistake by arresting them. 

However, soon after, someone came forward to clear Lorenzo’s name, revealing the process of developing the gene drugs. It was disclosed that a large number of inhumane human experiments had been conducted during the development. Moreover, some of the finished products of this drug had extremely severe side effects, akin to illegal drugs, which were explicitly prohibited. 

Nathaniel and others were essentially conducting illegal research under the guise of scientific spirit and morality, causing significant harm to society. 

Such actions had to be prohibited to ensure the safety of human society. 

This was part of the evidence that Jonah had obtained from Lea’s investigation, which he used his media staff to publicize. 

Jonah needed to win the battle of public opinion to ensure that Riverview Hospital could prevail over Conrad Hospital. This would ensure that Lea and the hospital executives‘ suffering and efforts were not in vain. 

It would also allow the hospital to develop better. 

Even Alex, who had rarely appeared in public in recent years, came forward to support his grandson, stating that he had done the right thing. 

After days of debate, the evidence proved decisive, and public opinion sided with them. 

Meanwhile, the results of the legal trial for the other arrested individuals were announced, with all three being sentenced to life imprisonment. 

However, Lorenzo was still unable to continue investigating the mastermind behind the scenes because these three were only following orders from Zeke and Nathaniel and were unaware of other matters. 

John and others also stepped forward to accept responsibility and faced penalties from the relevant departments.
