Her Revenge Returns (Lea and Alfred)

“Stop crying!” Matilda ordered “Helen, if you don’t want to lose anything else, you’ll do as I say and take the exam.”

Helen was spoiled, impulsive, and out of control, but had a strong sense of self–interest. She was very shrewd when it came to her own benefits. “But…” She turned to look at Lea

“Get in there and take the exam!” Matilda pointed to the entrance

tantly, Helen obeyed her mother and walked toward the entrance.

In the meantime, the school gate was already surrounded by people. There were students, parents, nannies, servants, drivers. Matilda and Helen, the mother–daughter duo, were famous in Vaporleon City, particularly in high society, where everyone paid attention to them. People were familiar with them and now, everyone was utterly shocked

Even Lea was taken aback. She knew Matilda and Helen would be shocked, unwilling, and angry upon seeing her. But she hadn’t expected them to fall apart like this.

Helen publicly berated her “great” mother and even called her by name. This behavior was considered inappropriate and embarrassing even among their social circle, including the servants and maids. Everyone was stunned.

Recently, Matilda and Helen had been stirring things up, constantly trending with all sorts of twists and turns Even the smartest people couldn’t figure it out.

Some speculated they were doing it to gain popularity fast. Helen’s popularity had skyrocketed to rival that of top–tier celebrities. Rumor had it she’d signed several international brand

endorsements, set to start shooting as soon as the SAT exam was over. She was making a dramatic entrance into the entertainment industry.

With business being so tough and competition so fierce, people were struggling to make ends meet. But the entertainment industry was different. Popularity translated directly to money. Helen’s endorsements, if handled efficiently, would only take about a month’s work but yield more profit than a year of business for others.

People privately expressed envy, jealousy, and resentment, regretting not having Matilda’s wit and boldness to tarnish their reputation for scandal. But now, everyone was completely bewildered by this spectacle. The crowds were all respectable people. With exams imminent, though they had questions and wanted to laugh, they held back

Matilda saw the expressions of the crowds. The more they reacted this way, the more embarrassed and angry she became. She sharply lifted her gaze and stared at Lea fiercely.

Lea couldn’t help but chuckle. She was genuinely pleased. She walked over and picked up the sunglasses from the ground. “It’s broken. This is the latest model, worth a fortune.

Matilda angrily pursed her lips and reached out to grab it

Lea lifted her hand slightly, avoiding Matilda, and said gently, “Mom, what happened with you and Helen? However, she knew exactly what had happened. Last night, Matilda and Helen must have celebrated wildly. However, seeing the person they thought had died so horribly appear before then, time and time again, was too much for anyone to handle.

Lea continued, “Helen is young and naive. That’s why she lashed out and contradicted you. Don’t take it to heart. She knew that Helen was the person Matilda loved most in the world, even more than herself.

Lea pondered, ‘Being treated this way by your precious daughter must have hurt deeply. Indeed, the enemy’s pain is my joy. It’s so enjoyable

Matilda’s face contorted further, ber expression turning pale and terrifying. However, no matter how fierce her gaze, it couldn’t harm anyone now. No matter how vicious, she couldn’t do anything to Lea at this moment.

“Here” Lea handed Matilda the glasses. “Cover up. Your eyes, your face, they’re just…” She shook her head and spilled out the

ed into the car, slammed the door, and hissed in a low voice, “Drive!”

The driver, perceptive, didn’t wait for her command and started the car.

As the car drove off, everyone began heading toward the campus. Though they refrained from making comments, their displeasure was evident..

“What are Helen and her mom up to now, wasting g our time?”

Ugh, what a bad start to the exam.

“Hope she’s not in the same room with me, stirring up more trouble.

Lea wiped the smile off her face and turned to wa

wave at the Mercedes–Benz VAIL.

Shannon got out, carrying her backpack and holding Lea’s bag. For the first time, she smiled broadly. She had always seen Helen and her mother as untouchable as they looked down at her like she was nothing more than an ant. But now, they were a mess, not even as dignified as ordinary people.

“Hahaha, this feels so good!” Shannon laughed, then glanced at Lea. “Sorry, I know it’s kind of petty.”

Lea smiled and gently brushed a strand of hair from Shannon’s forehead that had been blown out of place by the wind. Now, free from Helen’s coercion, Shannon could be herself, her eyes bright and clear, her demeanor simple, even a bit endearing Lea had thought that after all that had happened. Shannon would become more cunning and guarded, but it was the opposite. This quality made Lea admire her even more and feel a strong kinship with her

They exchanged a knowing look, and Lea’s smile turned mischievous. Shannon blinked, a bit taken aback.

Alright. I’m the master manipulator, Lea thought and turned to look at the Mercedes–Benz, her gaze deep as if she could see through the window to the person inside. She promised inwardly. Alfred. I will get into Conrad University. See you in Iverton.

Alfred sat in the car, his eyes meeting Lea’s. He was even more eager for the SAT exam than she was

“Let’s go. Lea said, leading Shannon towards the exam venue, Alfred watched them enter the campus, which gradually returned to its usual calm.

Ring. The bell rang, signaling the start of the exam. The quiet campus buzzed with the tension and excitement of the exam. Outside, parents, nannies, and servants waited, all maintaining silence, their hearts full of anxiety for their test–taking children.

About ten minutes passed, and the silence inside the car felt suffocating to Jason. “Mr. Alfred. Are we just going to wait here… while Miss Berry takes her exam?”

Find out what happened last night, Alfred instructed. He needed to know how Lea ended up being kidnapped to the outskirts, and he also.had to root out the mole inside the Berry family.

“How?” Jason asked. surprised. They had already looked into everything they could last night. Unless…

Alfred, knowing what Jason was thinking shook his head, dismissing the idea. Frank was an important pawn for Lea to use against Fraley Medical and Matilda. If they interrogated Frank now, he might resort to desperate measures, leaving no loose

ends.
