Chapter 414
The snow was a luule heavy late at night in winter. T
The splendid and spacious square outside Iverton Hotel was quiet
Lea stood before the stairs. A few strands of her brown hair were hanging about her cheeks. Her pale face was stained with a bit of blood, and her breathing was as cold as ice.
Her torn bloodstained dress was left spread out on the steps. There was already a little snow on it. Lea looked serene in the dim yellow light.
Above the steps, Milton stood and looked at her quietly, as if he was admiring a famous painting of the century. He seemed to be lost in the
“Mr. Andrews” Thomas called out, walking over with a fur coat
He was about to ask Milton to go back together, but Alfred interrupted him, saying, “Give this coat to her.”
Thomas didn’t want to. Moreover, Lea would not accept it. But Thomas couldn’t disobey the order.
Just as he was at a loss, Jason had already taken a large down jacket from the car and came to Lea
“Miss Berry, get in the car, or you’ll freeze,” Jason said.
Tm fine. The cold helps clear my head” Lea was very calm.
She liked this coldness and breathing in this cold air. All this made her feel especially sane.
Lea then took the down jacket and put it on to keep herself warm Jason fell silent and stood by the side, waiting for her.
Thomas heaved a sigh of relief and stood back obediently with the fur coat in his arms. “Mr. Andrews, let’s go back.” It was too cold.
“There’s a lot of work waiting for you. You’ve got a few contracts of big projects to sign off on. And a few big shots are waiting to dine with you,” Thomas added
“Put off all of them. If anyone has a problem, just cancel it” Milton ordered, his gaze fixed on Lea
Thomas looked at him in a daze, doubting his decision. “I‘–put off? Mr. Andrews, those are important precious work.”
Those will bring him profits, connections, power, wealth… Those help him reach greater heights in the future and the goal of his life. That should be his life’s work. Thomas thought.
“Important precious work?” Milton looked at Lea even more deeply. His gaze was passionate. He wished he could have her for himself. “It’s just something worthless.”
Before Lea took Christian away tonight, Milton was deeply shocked by Lea’s maniacal love for Alfred. It was not until she did such a crazy thing that Milton figured everything out
He became so envious of Alfred. In the past, he had always looked down on Alfred. Now, he realized that he had completely lout to Alfred
Milton was willing to give everything, including part of his life, for that love,
Thomas trembled violently. He felt that Alfred had gone crazy or completely changed because of Lea
“But whoever rejects me will be removed from Iverton, Milton demanded. His eyes darkened, showing a cruel determination. “Let them understand that if they are either my allies or enemies. My enemies die in the end.”
Thomas suddenly looked up at him. “Mr. Andrews?”
Milton was calm, rational, and powerful. “If someone is not my ally, he’ll become Alfred’s ally, Strike first.”
Previously, Milton couldn’t figure out Alfred’s motives before. However, Blake personally brought him to this birthday banquet to drop a hint- Alfred was going to do what an heir should do.
Besides, Liliana sided with Alfred so countless people would favor him. The battle between Alfred and Milton now truly began.
And there’s Lea, Milon thought.
Thomas finally understood what Milton meant. “Yes, Mr. Andrews,” Milton replied.

Lea waited for a while more. It had been almost two hours since she left the hotel. Her phone finally rang

immediately picked up the call.
“Lea-” The man’s voice was hoarse and had lost its original timbre.
Tears instantly rolled down her face. Lea wiped them away, and they felt cold in her hands.
It was Alfred. No matter how h

voice cracked and tears rolled down her cheeks again tears of joy.
Lea had been waiting for his call and finally heard his voice.
“Baby, are you happy?” Alfred’s voice was filled with joy on the phone as he was in a good mood.
“Yes!” She sniffed. “I’m very happy. I like it very much.”
Under those circumstances, Alfred had risked everything to protect himself just because he was hers. Of course, Lea was happy.
“Alfred” she whispered.
“Yes?” Alfred replied.
Lea looked up, trying to hold back tears and compose herself.
