Chapter 91
Helen stood up. “Thank you for your concem, Lea. It really wasn’t a big deal. You made a fuss over nothing” In front of their grandfather, she was gentle and obedient. Even her lone was soft.
Lea responded, “But it was murder in public”
“What murder! I was saving someone. Helen immediately became flustered, her voice sharp in defense.
“Lea!” Matilda quickly interrupted. “You just came back from your tutoring session, so you don’t know the full truth. It’s not your fault for believing the rumors online.”
She continued, “But as a daughter of the Berry family, you should trust your sister and believe in the integrity of our family. This matter has already been clarified. Do not say anything more that could tarnish our family’s reputation.”
Her words were exactly what Christian wanted to hear, and he nodded in agreement,
Saving someone” Lea scrutinized Helen with a cold gaze. What a clever reversal, turning a murder into a rescue.
Ignoring the warning in Matilda’s words, Lea smiled faintly. “I understand. Helen, you should also be careful in the future. Our family’s loss this time is quite significant.”
“Oh!” She feigned sudden realization. “Fraley’s loss must be substantial too.”
Matilda’s face turned sour as if two sharp arrows had pierced the bleeding wound in her heart. Helen clenched her fists, looking as if she wished she could kill Lea
Christian said gravely. “Lea is right. Don’t do such foolish things again
The family’s reputation was damaged, the company suffered great losses, and he himself was deeply embarrassed. Such unnecessary disasters were utterly foolish.
Helen bit her lip. She and her mother had just managed to placate Christian
They had rushed back from court, quickly changed clothes, and hurried to see him. They racked their brains to appease him.
Recently, Helen had been terrified and exhausted. Her body barely held up, but she still had to endure in front of her grandfather,
Yet, Lea, this little bitch had provoked Christian’s displeasure again with just a few words. Helen cursed inwardly. Damn it! She should be deadr
Matilda shot a furtive glance at Christian. As expected, he now harbored some distrust towards Helen.
“Christian is right. I will make sure Helen learns her lesson” As Matilda spoke, she gently stroked her daughter’s back.
Receiving her mother’s signal, Helen immediately lowered her head in apology. Grandpa, I understand my mistake. I will be more cautious in the future.
“Alright” Christian nodded. “Go real.”
Only then did Maulda lead her daughter away
Lea glanced at Christian. He didn’t suspect there was more to the story.
Indeed, for the court to release Helen without charge, the evidence must have been solid. Yet Lea was still angry. It was such a good opportunity. but Helen got away unscathed
After briefly greeting Christian, Lea went upstairs to her room.
Christian frowned. Lea wan’t even joining him for dinner tonight. He assumed it was because the SAT exams were approaching and her study pressure was making her irritabile.
Back in her room, Lea opened her browser and saw that Helen was trending. “Helen acquitted. She is inutocem”
She pressed the mouse and opened the li

weren’t uncommon
Lily’s parents testified in court, providing ample “evidence”
Online.
line, there were many of their direct statements and videos, where they constantly thanked Helen for her kindness towards their daughter.
A while ago in court, Lily’s parents had angrily confronted Shannon for their daughter’s sake, and now they had completely sold their daughter’s life to the murderer. Another pair of heartless parents.
Matilda must have paid them handsomely
Lea thought for a moment, opened a new window, and entered some code to investigate them.
She discovered changes in Lily’s parents‘ assets and business dealings, though nothing overtly suspicious. However, they had purchased flight tickets to Trales.
