Chapter 9 

Christian flung the medical examination reports he brought back from the hospital directly at Matilda’s face, his rage boiling over 

Christian thundered, “Matilda, it seems I’ve taken you too seriously over these years, giving you the illusion that you are the master of the Berry family, free to do as you please. 

“How dare your daughter claim ownership of the Berry family! I’m not even dead yet! Is this how you teach your daughter?” 

The sharp paper cut a bloody mark across Matilda’s check as it landed, scattering across the floor. 

Trembling, she picked up the papers in front of her and examined diem closely, her heart pounding in fear. 

It was Lea’s medical repon, detailing the injuries Matilda had inflicted on her over the past nineteen years, many of which Matilda herself had forgotten. But they were all there, clear as day on the report. 

Even the gene therapy she had forced Lea to take for brain enhancement was discovered. 

Matilda felt that Christian probably had known who actually developed artificial brains. 

Christian had made up his mind, and even if she wanted to deny it, it wouldn’t matter. 

Turning to look at Lea, Marilda couldn’t help but feel a sense of dread. Lea’s actions had been too quick, too ruthless, catching her off guard. 

Matilda realized that it was Lea’s intention to delay Christian’s return, making Helen and her suffer in the thunderstorm. 

As she thought about Helen, injured and kneeling in the rain for so long, her knees scraped, feverish, Matilda’s heart clenched in pain. And then, Matilda looked at Lea. 

Lea’s eyes were watery, filled with hatred. She thought, Compared to what 1 have endured, this is nothing 

“Yes!” Matilda grabbed the examination report, admitting it outright. I did abuse Lea, but Dad, I’m human too, I feel jealousy. I feel hatred! I am the only daughter of the Fraley family, marrying into the Berry family with half my inheritance, working tirelessly for this family, sacrificing everything.

pregnant 

“Christian, you brought the child of his mistress into our home for me to raise. I have dignity, I have pride! I feel pain too 

Lea meered inwardly, thinking that Matilda had certainly found herself a good excuse. 

Christian’s guil grew as Matilda spoke, and he began to understand her a bitte berier, his anger diminishing slightly. 

“If you didn’t wanna take care of her, you could say no,” Christian said 

“But how could I say no to you? I wouldn’t dare,” replied Matilda “Being part of the Berry family means you gotta keep up appearances, even if you’re swallowing down big ol‘ lumps of hurt. 

“It’s all my fault. Punish me however you see fit, but Helen’s your granddaughter too. You can’t just ignore what happened to her” 

“Of course handle Helen’s stuff!” said Christian 

Helen was his granddaughter, his chosen heir, his prized gem He would not allow others to bully her. 

“But you gotta own up to what you did to Lea,” said Christian. 

Matilda breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he didn’t come down on Helen for last night’s mess, she’d make sure everything else went smoothly, making Helen’s reputation sparkle again. 

I deserve whatever punishment you decide,” said Matilda. 

“Apologize to Lea, right now!” said Christian, 

Lea couldn’t believe it. She’d been put through so much, and now Christian wanted to just let Matilda say sorry and call it a day. Lea always | Maulda wouldn’t get taken down completely by this, but she didn’t expect the punistament to be so light.

Then Matilda said, “Alright, I’ll apologize.” 

She placed her hands on the ground to stand up, but Christian suddenly shouted angrily. “You should apologize to Lea while kneeling” 

Matilda was furious. She thought she could never do that. She was the only daughter of the Fraley family, a high–society elite. She couldn’t possibly kneel to someone as lowly as Lea 

“Matilda” Christian roared, “Is this how you apologize? You look completely insincere! I should reconsider if you have the ability to properly raise. Helen or to serve as the Deputy CEO of Berry Group” 

Hearing this, Matilda immediately knelt down. 

Her daughter was her everything she couldn’t let her out of her sight. 

She had used the Fraley family’s resources and her exceptional skills, pouring her heart and soul into Berry Group for twenty years to become the Deputy CEO. The CEO, Ewan Berry, was a useless playboy who never cared about the company. Christian, as the chairman, was too old to manage many affairs. For years. Berry Group had been under her control. If things continued this way. Berry Group would be hers, which would be a rightful compensation for marrying that loser Ewan. This was also what she intended to leave for her beloved daughter. 

Lea turned to face Matilda, a cold smile on her lips. Seeing someone as proud as Matilda kneeling before her was quite satisfying 

Hidden in her sleeve, her phone’s camera was recording. She wanted to keep this moment forever, to ensure Manilda lived in shame forever. 

Matilda’s pupils dilated with rage. She wanted to leap up and tear Lea apart. She didn’t expect Lea to record the scene, but no matter how furious she was, she had to endure it
