Chapter 94
The other party replied with a name: [Lea Berry]
His first reaction upon getting the name was to look her up.
He found out she had been getting zero scores every year at Vaporleon High School but had scored full marks in her recent mock exams,
Then, he found out she was a developer of artificial intelligence.
Even across the vast network world, he could feel the pressure from her. He quickly replied: You’re a genius in artificial intelligence. Why would you want to join us nobodies?]
Lea replied instantly: [So, do you agree to let me join?)
Quicksilver was stunned and replied. We welcome a genius like you, but we don’t take students, afraid it might affect you.]
Lea. [Oh, then sorry, you can expect to be hunted by the whole world. I’ll dig up the information on your relatives and let you all suffer.)
Quicksilver was shocked.
He had hacked the most powerful families and companies globally, sold their information, and made plenty of deadly enemies. If Lea leaked the information she had found, he would be dead soon.
Quicksilver: [Miss Berry, I won’t pretend. Actually, we’re just a few amateurs. You’re too good for us.)
Lea replied without hesitation: [Oh, then I’ll be the boss.]
Lea had only found information on this “Quicksilver. His hacking skills, while not as good as hers, were at the top level currently. Coupled with his detective skills, such a person could be useful.
Leading such an alliance, given time, would make them very strong. She needed such a force.
Quicksilver hesitated.
Lea: [You only have five seconds to consider.]
She was busy. This matter had already wasted a lot of her time.
Quicksilver was shocked. He replied: (Fine.]
After that, Lea did not send him any more messages. He could feel she had already logged off.
Although he had been forced to accept this new member, he was inexplicably excited. This “Miss Berry” had hacking techniques he had never seen before.
Meanwhile, at Berry Mansion.
Lea had just closed all the windows on her laptop and cleared the traces on the network when she heard a knock on the door.
She gently closed the laptop. “Come in.”
Jeffrey pushed the door open and came in. “Miss Lea, we are hosting a charity party tomorrow. Mr. Herry asked me to inform you that he will take you with him. The stylist will bring the gown over in the morning, and you don’t have to worry about anything else.”
Lea immediately understood what the Berry family was planning. “Got it”
But the next morning, before heading to school, she told Christian she needed to study for the SAT exam and couldn’t go.
Chrman valued the charity party very much and also paid great attention to Lea. He wanted to take her to introduce her to his business
However, the SAT exam was approaching, and there would be plenty of opportunities in the future, so he let it slide.
Even though Lea didn’t attend, the watched the live broadcast of the charity banquet.
The party was hosted by the Berry family and co–hosted by Fraley Hospital, personally organized by Matilda,
The venue was the best hotel, the Vaporleon Grand Hotel. They invited all the city’s elites, a few first and second–tier celebrities, and several influential media outlets.
The purpose of the party was to raise funds for depression patients. The Berry family was responsible for the fundraising, and Fraley Hospital would manage the funds, ensuring they were used to help patients.
The Berry family donated 32 million dollars, Fraley Medical donated 20 million dollars, and other guests were also generous, eventually raising over 80 million dollars
At the banquet, Matilda and her daughter wore the latest luxury brands, looking glamorous and free of the recent scandals.
Helen even delivered a highly polished speech, making her the focal point of the evening and stealing the spotlight. She transformed from a murder suspect into an angel advocating for depression awareness.
Christian was dressed in formal attire. He stood behind Helen. Usually indifferent to these events, he had become enthusiastic and proactive. The Berry family hosting this charity party in collaboration with Fraley Medical was a clear strategy. Everyone knew their purpose.
Christian’s presence and enthusiasm demonstrated how much he valued his eldest granddaughter.
Everyone also showed the Berry family respect and actively supported this eldest granddaughter of the Berry family
The event was live–streamed, quickly making headlines.
“Helen raises 80 million dollars for depression”
Lea stared at the webpage, knowing the trending topic was bought. It wouldn’t have climbed so quickly otherwise.
Given recent events. Helen became the city’s focus, a trending figure whose online popularity rivaled top celebrities Labels such as depression helper, kind angel, wealthy heiress, and philanthropist were attached to her.
Back at school. Helen became the center of attention, with classmates idolizing her like never before.
The bell rang, signaling the end of classes. Helen was swarmed by classmates before she could stand up.
“Helen, great news! Shawn Bowen was executed today. It’s all over the internet. Look.”
“Helen, how do we donate to the ‘Depression‘ fund? I want to contribute too”
“Helen, do you have another charity event next week! Take me with you”
“Helen, can I study with you? This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“Helen, let’s grab a meal together.”
“Helen…
Lea held her phone displaying a photo of Shawn’s execution. Her mood had been terrible these past few days.
At school, Helen flaunted her newfound fame before her eyes, while back at the mansion, Helen and Matilda hovered around Christian, constantly aggravating her
The stocks of Berry Group and Fraley Hospital had returned to normal levels and even showed an upward trend, improving Christian’s mood.
He approved of Helen’s “philanthropist image and supported Matilda’s strategy.
On the surface, their relationships seemed to have reverted to the old dynamics. Shawn’s death was the only event that momentarily soothed Lea.
Lea swiped her finger to close the webpage and glanced at Helen basking in the adoration of her classmates. She sneered.
Lily had depression? These classmates must be blind. No, their hearts were blind.
Lea slung her back pack over her shoulder and left the classroom.
Helen watched Lea’s retreating figure coldly, unable to hide her smugness. She knew Lea was upset.
Lea must have never imagined shir would transform from a “murder suspect to a “philanthropist and become a trending online figu
Matilda had already arranged a tram to manage Helen’s
n’s popularity online and fund scripts for her.
Once the SAT exam was over, Helen could enter the entertainment industry and quickly become a top star.
She thought, Lea, just wait. Your praceful days are over.
