After careful planning, under the use of going to Fraley Medical to handle some business, Matilda went to Fraley Hospital. With a few strategic moves, under reasonable circumstances, she managed to meet Nixon in his office.
Bang! As soon as the door closed. Matikia furiously demanded, “Explain it Why is Lea still alive?
“What? How could that be?” Nixon chuckled. “Are you joking? This isn’t funny at all” He elegantly sat down with a cup of fine coffee, ready to review reports. His morning routine included looking over business reports and project expansion plans, relishing in the wealth and power that excellent performance and expansion brought. This nourished his soul and ambition.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
Joking Matilda grabbed his collar and lifted him up. “Nixon. Do look like I’m joking? I saw her at the exam venue myself! She even greeted us with a ‘Morning, making Helen and me argue in front of everyone.”
Ah Matilda screamed, her arms flailing, knocking everything off Nixon’s desk onto the floor in a rage. Bang! Crash! Clang! The documents, cups, and expensive crystal and glass ornaments shattered on the ground, leaving a mess. “Why? Explain to
me why!”
It was the first time Nixon had seen Matilda so hysterical, almost insane. Realizing the severity of the situation, he didn’t dare provoke her. Till investigate.”
Matilda almost fainted from anger, bellowing inwardly, ‘Such a serious matter, and you’ve known nothing about it: She had already had Max check on the way here and informed Nixon. “The official news says a military drone rescued her during reconnaissance. It’s already trending online.”
Nixon fumbled, listening to her rant. “Are you sure?”
Matilda had nothing more to say as she had checked everything possible.
“What about Frank?” Nixon asked.
Matilda shook her head, her face pale.
“Don’t panic,” Nixon reassured Matilda and himself, reacting quickly. “The police haven’t come to the hospital, and Leat hasn’t made any moves, which means the incident hasn’t been exposed. Plus…” His throat was dry from nerves, and he swallowed. “Plus, this has nothing to do with us. There’s no evidence pointing our way. right?”
Matilda stiffly nodded. That was why she remained calm and rational.
“Go handle your business. Don’t let anyone see anything unusual. I’ll thoroughly investigate and find Frank,” said Nixon
An hour passed. Half a day passed. By evening, the information they found matched the news reports. As for Frank, he l disappeared
“For now, we must destroy any documents linking him to our hospital. This was the only suggestion Nixon could think of as a precaution and something that needed to be done.

Marilda modded wearily fr was getting dark, and she had to rehin to the villa
When Matilda got back to the villa, Helen had already been brought back from the exam. As soon as Matilda arrived, Helen compered her at the down “Mom, what’s going on? He did Lea ape? Helen was desperate to know the details and what to do next. They couldn’t let Les smoothly get into Conrad Univery and move to Iverton for school.
Matilda rubbed her temples, her headache severe. “Keep this matter and everything I told you and showed you last night to yourselt. Don’t say a word to anyone” With that order, she ignorel Helen and headed to the sofa.
Mom, Mom… Helen chased after Matilda
“Miss Helen.” Max stopped Helen. “Mrs. Berry is very tired and deeds rest. You should go upstairs and prepare for
Helen rolled her eyes, here flashed with anger. She complained inwardly, ‘Fine, now Mom is ignoring me and letting the servant treat me like this. I haven’t done anything wrong but being treated this way. She was furious. She stomped upstairs, making loud banging noises. The sound annoyed Matilda on the sofa, but she was too exhausted to care.
After resting for a bit, Matikla picked up her phone and made a call. “How are things at the old residence? Is Christian okay? Do I need to come over to help?” Her voice was full of concern for the old residence. It was her duty as the mistress of the Berry family.
“Everything’s fine. Mr. Berry brought Miss Lea back from the exam. As soon as she entered, she gathered everyone in the hall saying she wanted to find the mole who helped kidnap her last night… Mrs. Berry. They’re calling for me. I have to
Goodbre
The call ended, but Matilda didn’t lower her phone, gripping it tightly, her face pale with anger and dread.
Dusk had fallen at the Berry family’s old residence, and the sky filled with dramatic clouds. In the hall, over twenty servants stood assembled. At this crucial time, Victor was also present beside Christian, who sat in the main seat. The atmosphere was tense, with everyone standing quietly, barely daring to breathe.
Upstairs, Jason placed Lea’s bag on her desk and then followed her out. “Miss Lea, do you know who the mole is?” he asked, astonished.
“No, Lea replied.
Jason was stunned. By the time he reacted, Lea was already out the door. He immediately followed. “Then how can you…?” He didn’t continue but wondered, Find out the mole?”
Lea didn’t answer, walking calmly downstairs. Jason followed again, anxious,
During the day, Jason and Alfred had led Craig and his team to investigate based on their clues, finding only how Frank had taken her to the suburbs. In the old residence and within a 5-mile radius, surveillance systems were blocked or cameras. redirected, revealing nothing more.
Lea reached the bottom of the stairs, her expression serious as she approached Christian and sat beside him. Jason- remained at the staircase, joining the other servants, feeling extremely nervous.
Lea sat upright, her gaze sweeping over the servants, her sharp gaze like an instrument exposing their every secret. Those who met her eyes quickly looked away, avoiding her gaze. She had only been at the old residence for a month mostly in her room studying, with little interaction with the servants. Their impression of her remained that of a high school girl who had been abused and was withdrawn and timid. No one knew when her aura became so powerful and intimidating.
Lea Christian tried to comfort his fierce granddaughter. “Don’t worry. I’ll find out who did this and give you an explanation” Lea being kidnapped in his own home and handed to a psychopath was unacceptable, not just for her as the victim but for him as well. Even though he had searched thoroughly last night without results, he couldn’t let it go. He had idea how she could find out after a day of exams. Without evidence, he couldn’t just interrogate the household staff.
