Chapter 142
Alfred looked Lea up and down.
She was dressed exquisitely today. She was wearing a light yellow strapless dress. Her soft long hair that reached her waist was tied behind her head with a headband of the same color. Her skin was so smooth that it glowed. She was gentle and pure. Her every move was like a painting.
“Lea!” Alfred said as he leaned forward.
Lea leaned back against the door and met Alfred’s gaze joyfully.
It was not in vain that she had dressed up properly to please him. He surely liked it.
Alfred’s slender fingers traced her eyebrows. His eyes were filled with worry. “What should I do? I’m nervous. I’m afraid someone will snatch you away.”
Lea looked at him in shock.
She never thought a person like him would worry about losing her.
She wrapped her arms around Alfred and stood on tiptoe to press her heart against his. “No. I’ll never leave you unless you don’t want me anymore.
This was a promise, and it was what she was thinking.
If one day Alfred did not like her and did not want her anymore, Lea would set him free.
Alfred caressed the back of her head and kissed her hair. His eyes were red, and his voice was hoarse. “Silly girl. How would I not want you?”
Lea buried her head in his arms and listened to his heartbeat. She felt herself lucky.
There was no time for them to hold each other anymore. Alfred led her through the VIP and boarded the plane.
passage
After boarding the plane for a while, Lea received a message from Jason. [Miss Lea, Nixon has bee released on bail.]
Lea gripped her phone tightly, and her expression instantly turned grim.
After dealing with Nixon several times, Lea learned what a person Nixon was like. He had a lot of connections, and he even befriended crazy people like Frank.
His methods and style were merciless, and he had no–moral standards. That was also the reason L asked Alfred to help her during the operation. She had asked the military to suppress Nixon and facilitated the police to arrest Nixon immediately.
Once Nixon was out, he could stir up this mess again and cause a change, which was not what Lea
Alfred was sitting beside her. Les did not want him to worry, so the quickly regained her composite and replied to Jason Did Matilda bail him out?
INo, it’s Henry I answered Jason.
Lea was surprised.
Lea knew the old man, Henry, only cared about benefits. He bailed Nixon out for only one purpose: to protect the Fraley family’s benefits.
But she was curious. What should Henry do in such a hopeless situation?”
Lea’s eyes flashed with an evil glint as she texted: [Keep an eye on Nixon 24/7. Call me as soon as he makes a move.]
She could not let Nixon affect her operation this time.
She must cut off Fraley Hospital’s future and destroy Matilda’s backer.
[No problem, Miss Berry.] Jason replied.
Knowing Alfred was by Lea’s side and would not let anything happen to her, Jason could stay Vaporleon City without worrying about her.
Alfred was working on his laptop when he turned to look at her.
Lea smiled at him. “It’s fine.”
He nodded and went back to his business.
During this time, things in Iverton had piled up for him to deal with.
in
Alfred still had important arrangements to make after bringing Lea to Iverton, so he had to settle everything in advance.
Lea had been lacking sleep recently. Lea soon felt sleepy since there was nothing much to do now, and the plane was swaying. She leaned back in her chair and fell asleep in a short while.
In her sleep, all kinds of things from her previous life gradually lingered in her heart. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
She subconsciously leaned toward Alfred.
Alfred moved his body to let her lean more comfortably.
Perhaps it was because she was leaning against Alfred, Lea slept soundly. Her expression was

peaceful, and her exquisite face had a gentle look.
Alfred turned to look at her with a satisfied smile.
Three hours later, the flight arrived at Iverton. The plane slowly descended from the clouds.
Lea had already woken up. She looked out of the window.
It was midsummer, and the weather in Iverton was nice. The sun was shining brightly, and the sky was clear. The city was displayed in her vision.
Iverton was the largest city in the country. It was like a boundless ocean, advanced and prosperous. It was ranked in the top five among the top ten cities in the world.
It was the city Lea was most familiar with and unfamiliar with.
In her previous life, she had spent the last eight years of her life there, the most creative part of her life. She had also traveled abroad a few times and looked down on the city during the flights.
However, she spent almost all of her time in Andrews Group’s laboratory.
The rest of the time was spent in the apartment that Milton had bought for her, as well as a villa that they had stayed in when they got married.
Therefore, she was unfamiliar with this city.
As Lea got closer to the ground, the various buildings gradually became clearer in her vision. They were also somewhat different from what she remembered.
There was a ten–year gap.
In this era of rapid development, ten years could almost change the entire appearance of a city.
It was more modern and high–tech.
But Lea did not care about any of that.
What Lea cared about was the people who lived in this city and schemed against her in her previous life. Those who had used her, hurt her, took her life, harmed her child, and stole the fruits of her labor…
‘Milton, and Abigail. When Lea thought of the two names, her expression turned heavy. Her gaze became deep, and killing intent surged in her eyes.
The moment the plane touched the ground, she exerted force with both hands and dug them into the leather of the armrest.
Alfred turned his head and only saw her side profile. However, he could imagine the tension on her

perfect face.
Afraid that Lea would feel uncomfortable, he quickly retracted his gaze and looked ahead. He subconsciously tightened his grip on the armrest of the seat and swore in his heart, ‘Lea, since I brought you back to Iverton, I promise you’ll get what you wish.”
“Ladies and gentlemen, the plane has completely stabilized. Please deplane from the front door. Thank you!”
The announcement sounded, and the passengers got up. The cabin suddenly became lively.
Alfred got up and picked up Lea’s luggage. “Let’s go
“Sure.” Lea followed.
Craig and Eddie had already gotten off the plane before them and arranged to pick them up.
After leaving the airport, a top–notch Mercedes–Benz was waiting outside. Sitting in the driver’s seat was Craig.
After the two got into the car, Alfred said, “I’ve booked a new hotel for you. You can cancel the booking of yours.”
“Okay,” Lea replied.
Anyway, she would listen to Alfred.
Craig clicked his tongue and subconsciously glanced at them.
The hotel was bought by Eddie at Alfred’s request on the plane.
Before it was bought, it was owned by the Andrews Group.
It was probably because Alfred did not want to use the family’s resources to woo women. Besides, although he was the heir of the Andrews family, he had yet to enter the corporation to work, let alone take over.
Conrad University was 120 years old. It was located in one of the prime locations of Iverton. Alfred had bought the best hotel near the university with over 1.2 billion dollars.
Craig did not expect Alfred to be so crazy when it came to pleasing Lea. He wondered how Lea would react when she found out.
Craig guessed Lea should be glad and love Alfred even more.
Alfred was such a wonderful man with a handsome face. If Craig were a woman, he would be willing to throw himself at Alfred.
With that thought in mind, Craig felt Alfred’s dream would come true.
He happily drove toward the hotel.
Seeing how happy Craig was, Lea frowned in confusion.
The car arrived at the hotel half an hour later heading from the airport.
“Sir, Miss Berry, here we are,” said Craig as he stopped the car.

Lea raised her head and could see the sign in front of the hotel. Elysium Hotel. Her pupils constricted, and her gaze turned cold.
She did not know Alfred had already bought the building on the plane.
She only knew that this was a hotel the Andrews Group owned and that the current manager of the Andrews Group was Milton.
Now, she was going to stay in the hotel Milton was managing, which creeped her out,
No matter how fearless and confident she was now, Milton was the nightmare of her previous life. He was the one who made her suffer a crushing defeat and pushed her into a bottomless abyss.
