Her Revenge Returns (Lea and Alfred) novel Chapter 5

Chapter 5 

Christian grabbed her hand. “Lea, are all the things you said true!” 

“Yes, and not only that, I even did Helen’s school exams. I did the exams, wrote her name on them, and she put my name on her blank sheets. So, Helen always came first, and I was always last.” 

Helen had been so arrogant and untouchable over the years, not just because Matilda spoiled her and gave her whatever she wanted, but also because, at sixteen, Helen developed the artificial brain. 

The Berry family was the first generation of air force families in the country. When Christian was young, he rose to the rank of general with outstanding military achievements. After retiring, he transformed the air force division into an airline company. Over forty years, it became Vaporleon City’s number one enterprise. 

But in the last decade or so, technology advanced rapidly, aviation technology evolved quickly, and a lot of capital poured in The Berry Group gradually became outdated and uncompetitive, accumulating debts and struggling to stay afloat. 

Three years ago, the artificial brain was introduced and applied to the flight control system, pushing the Berry Group’s technology to top–tier levels and re–establishing its market position. Therefore, Helen was considered the Berry family’s future. 

Matilda’s family, the Fraley Group, applied the artificial brain to medical machinery development, achieving technical breakthroughs and becoming Vaporeon City’s top medical company and a leading medical enterprise nationwide. 

Matilda’s father even mentioned several times in front of Christian that Helen was the future of Fraley Medical and would inherit the group someday 

Despite Helen’s scandal today, which infuriated Christian, he still wouldn’t completely abandon her, for she was far too important to the Berry family and the Fraley family. 

The Berry family and the Fraley family could easily erase this incident and present her in an even more noble and perfect image to the public. 

“Lea, do you know the consequences of lying? Christian couldn’t believe it and didn’t want to believe i 

Les let go of his hand, stood up straight, and wiped her tears. 

“Matilda said I’m not her daughter, that I’m a bastard child my father had with another woman. My existence is an insult to her, so she can’t tolerate 

1. mc. 

In her past life, she had killed in self–defense, but Matilda and Helen fabricated evidence, leading to her death sentence. When she confronted them. Matikla told her about her true parentage. 

Only then did she understand why, as a daughter of the Berry Emily, she was treated so differently from Helen 

At this moment, Alfred stood quietly in the shadows, watching Belund him, Craig Allen exchanged a look with his companion Eddic Cooke 

Craig’s eyes indicated. “I have a feeling that Mr. Andrews is waiting for that girl to be thrown away so he can pick her up 

Eddie frowned and didn’t believe that Alfred returned to Vaporleon City for a girl he had never met. Crowing up together, he had never seen Alfred interested in any woman 

He returned with a look that seemed to say, “If your brain’s messed up, go see a doctor 

Lea and Christian faced off for a moment Lea closed her eyes in disappointment. 

“I thought at least you loved me because you brought me back from the orphanage. I thought you’d give me a chance to prove myself. 

“Wright, from now on, I sever all ties with the Berry family. Starting today. I find a way to make it on my own. Regardless, I thank you for bringing me back then. Or else, I might have died now,” said Lea, looking at Christian respectfully 

If Christian didn’t help her, staying in this family meant death. He was the only one in this family who had any affection for her, the only one she cared about. But if he ignored what happened tonight, there would have been no point in her staying. She would leave and make other plane 

She turned and saw a figure in the distance, barely visible in the dark. Even as a mere silhouette, she knew it was Alfred. Hope and courage filled her heart. He was her safe haven. She started walking toward him. 

Christian watched her determined figure, feeling a shock in his heart. Over the years, after leaving her with Matilda, be hadn’t ignored her entirely. He knew she was reclusive, strange, and pour in academics, seemingly worthless. He had already planned for her future, ensuring that with the Berry family’s hacking, she’d live comfortably. 

But now, despite her disheveled state, she exuded strength and bravery, shining like a star in the night sky: She was different from the girl he used:

to know. 

And if what she said was true–that she was the one who developed the artificial brain–her departure would be disastrous for the Berry family. 

“Stop!” he shouted 

Lea ignored him. 

Lea 

stop right now?” Christian got out of the car, tapping his cane on the ground. “Who gave you permission to leave! You think you can just break ties like that? Do you even consider me your grandfather!” 

She stopped and tumed, her eyes still wet with tears, her face dehan. “Do you still care about me as your granddaughter!” 

Christian’s cone softened. “You’re my granddaughter. How could I not care about you? Why didn’t you say anything about what happened sooner 

Mom always taught me to listen to her. I just wanted to be a good child who could make Mom happy. Lonly just found out that I was born from an affair my father had. Mom hated me and couldn’t accept me, which is understandable.” 

From childhood, no matter what she did, she couldn’t make Matilda like her. On the contrary, Matilda would hate her even more, 

“Just now at the manor, I wanted to sell you, but I couldn’t let our Berry family’s shame become public” She lowered her head, tears of grievance streaming down her face.
