Chapter 354
Lea could easily tell the difference between someone who had fainted and someone who was pretending.
“Get a bucket of water,” Lea instructed.
Shannon quickly grabbed a large bucket of water from the back of the classroom, where they kep the mop and rags.
“What are you going to do, Lea?” Leona almost screamed.
“She’s a doctor. Of course, she’s here to help,” Shannon answered.
Lea took the bucket and dumped its entire contents over Abigail’s face.
Leona was stunned, her voice choking in her throat.
She was splattered with the water too, with her mouth filled with it.
“Is this cold water?” a student asked, puzzled.
Although the classroom had heating, the bucket of water was still icy.
“What’s that smell?”
“I know. Someone must have poured a drink into the bucket.”
“And there’s some trash in there too.”
“It stinks.”
“Ugh…” Abigail couldn’t hold it any longer and vomited from the shock.
Lea had doused her with such dirty water.
Abigail felt as if she had been dunked in a cesspool, covered in filth and stench both inside and out.
At that moment, Abigail was the epitome of her most loathed self.
She started frothing at the mouth, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.
Lea set the bucket down and clapped her hands to shake off the dust. “She can breathe now. You all should get her to the infirmary.”
‘Get her out of here. She smells awful, Lea complained inwardly.
Leona and the others quickly carried Abigail away. Their minds were so chaotic they forgot to put Abigail’s coat on her as they carried her out.
With temperatures below freezing outside, Abigail’s face, hair, neck, and body soon froze over.

Chapter 351
By the time they reached the infirmary, her face was frostbitten.
A wave of murmurs and gasps filled the classroom as the students were left in shock.
Just as Lea was calming down, her phone rang. She took it out, moved to a quiet corner, and answered the call.
“Lea, have you seen the news about the Tanner family?” Jonah’s voice was smooth but carried an excited edge, like a hungry wolf spotting a huge piece of meat it couldn’t wait to devour.
“Yes, I’ve seen it,” she confirmed, nodding.
It was her idea to include Calvin in the intimidation of Phillip, and she had helped to steal and leak the video from that private room.
“This scandal is going to drag on for a while. Tanner Group’s stock has already hit the limit. Let’s make a big move and grab their valuable projects. Opportunities like this don’t come often. Let’s get rich together,” he suggested.
Fearing that the negative news might be too much for a freshman like her, Jonah added an explanation. “You’re probably not familiar with the Union led by the Tanner family. It’s essentially led by the Tanner family. Taking business from them would be considered doing the right thing. The recent issue with your gene drugs is closely tied to Phillip and the Tanner family behind him.”
This was essentially giving them a taste of their own medicine.
Lea was intrigued. “But I don’t have any money.”
Jonah was momentarily speechless, clearly taken aback by her remark.
After a pause, he replied, his voice tinged with frustration. “Lea, can you be any more shameless?”
Jonah was well aware of Riverview Hospital’s assets, their research achievements, and their profits.
In Iverton, they were the golden target for all capitalists.
“Riverview Hospital can easily turn billions of dollars and buy half of Tanner Group,” he said.
Lea wasn’t surprised by his assessment.
Before her time travel, she had spent seven or eight years with Milton, observing how he leveraged capital to dominate various cutting–edge industries.
She knew the sense of smell of capital and aristocratic families.
At the same time, she was well aware of how much attention Riverview Hospital attracted from major players.
“The hospital isn’t publicly traded or seeking financing. The current profits aren’t even enough to fund research,” Lea said calmly, with a hint of authority.

GF
Jonah could sense her resolve through the phone.
His demeanor shifted, and a surge of warmth and excitement flowed through him.
This was the spirit of an entrepreneur and a researcher.
She was different from other businesspeople.
+78%1
‘Til handle it, and we’ll split the profits,” he said, his tone becoming lighter and more enthusiastic, with a sharp gleam in his eyes.
Jonah wasn’t offering her money directly. Instead, he planned to reinvest the profits into their joint projects, allowing her to invest more technology into Dynamite Technology and make it as big as possible.
“Do you have connections with Dark Union?” he asked directly.
The Manning Group needed talent and assistance from various fields, and Jonah had already taken note of Dark Union’s capabilities.
Given that Quicksilver and Dark Union were involved in several cases in Vaporleon City, all related to her and even assisting her, and considering Lea’s prowess as an AI developer and hacker, Jonah suspected her involvement.
Rather than investigating further, he decided to ask her directly, as this was the kind of honesty expected between friends.
He didn’t know if Lea considered him a friend, but he considered her one.
“Yeah, we have a decent relationship,” she replied.
His eyes lit up with a mischievous glint. “Great, then help us out by having them take on a few tasks
for us.”
The Tanner family was like a sealed barrel. Jonah’s own hackers couldn’t uncover the most useful information, so he needed Dark Union’s help.
He wasn’t sure how Calvin’s situation was exposed, but it seemed like he was reaping what he had
Sown.
He held a third of the shares in Dark Red, so he was quite familiar with the person.
“No problem, though the price is a bit high.”
“Don’t worry. As long as it’s worth it.”
“Alright.” Lea agreed readily.
She could still find some time to earn a bit more from him to help with the hospital’s expenses.
