Tears brushed down Lea’s cheeks uncontrollably and fell on the table. 

Alfred looked up, stunned. “What’s wrong” 

“Nothing, it’s too spicy.” She rubbed her eyes, not wanting him to see 

“Don’t use your hands. The chilis might get into your eyes, Alfred said and handed her a wet towel. 

Lea immediately took it and covered her eyes with the towel. 

Alfred looked at her for a moment and then kept piling her plate with all her favorite foods. 

Lea swallowed her emotions, dried her eyes, and began to eat. After getting things done at the company, she was in a good mood and had a good appetite, and the freshly spiced Nastalian cuisine made her feel even better. 

The chilis made Alfred’s face all red, and he looked kinda cute. 

Lea was confused. “Are you okay?” 

“Yeah.” Alfred nodded stiffly and took a bite of the Fajitas, Sweat rolled down his face. He suggested Nastalian cuisine, so he had to stick to the end. 

Lea frowned, thinking, Why does he look like he can’t eat spicy food! 

“Eat up. Everything’s turning cold.” He looked at the dishes. 

“Okay” She lowered her head and continued to eat 

Lea had a great time eating. 

During these years in the Berry family, she had been abused by Matilda and had never had enough food, and for the first time, she had the satisfaction of being full it turned out that satisfying your mouth and stomach can be pleasurable. 

However, Alfred had a tough time. After the meal, he let Craig send Lea home. He got into Eddie’s car, covering his stomach, and said, “Go to the hospital” 

Eddie was stunned, looked at the Nastalian restaurant, drove his car, and rushed to the hospital at a rapid pace. 

“Mr. Andrews, why don’t you tell Miss Lea that you can’t eat spicy food?” asked Eddie. The Chili Village was known for its spiciness. 

“I suggested it,” said Alfred. 

Eddie was stunned. “Mr. Andrews, you know you can’t eat spicy food, right? 

“Cut the crap!” snapped Alfred. 

Eddie pursed his lips and felt worried. Does Mr. Andrews love Miss Lea so much that he’s actually out of his mind? he wondered. 

Matilda was making the final handoff in the president’s office in the Berry Group 

“Mrs. Berry!” Max rushed in 

“Why are you still here! 

Didn’t i 

I send you on other stuff?” She was burnt out and grimpy. 

“It’s about Miss Berry,” Max answered. 

Once Matilda heard it was about Helen, her anger lessened considerably. “What is it?” 

Max handed over his cell phone. 

Matilda’s brows wrinkled as she clicked on the video. After watching it, she staggered back, holding onto the boardwalk to stabilize herself and prevent her from fainting. 

The video showed how Helen was arrested by the police at the school. The sound was clear, and the picture was complete. The police accused Helen of killing someone, and the evidence was clear. The students threw garbage at her, abused her, and cursed the Herry family. 

Her spoiled daughter was covered in garliage and, with her face smashed and bleeding, woeful and ugly. 

“Lea! It must 

st be her. She set up my daughter!” Matilda snarled as her face twisted.. 

She saw Lea in the video, and Lea calmly watched Helen being arrested with dark eyes and a famt smile. I know my daughter. She cares about her reputation very much. She would never do such a self–destroying thing if Lea did not set her up, thought Marilda 

“What now, ma’am? Max’s voice was shaking. The Berry family and Matilda could handle most troubles for Helen, but this was a murder, and the police arrested Helen on the spot. “The news has already spread on the internet, the group’s share price has dropped by more than ten percentage points, and Mr. Berry is furious at the headquarters,” he continued. 

Matilda looked horrified her face turning paler. “Call the Lawyers and head to the police station now!” With that, she took off on her own, her body trembling and her heels wobbling on the ground. 

As she got to the door, she held onto the handle with both hands, took a moment to readjust, and then carried on her way. 

“Mrs. Berry, what about the headquarters?” Max asked. 

“Go to the police station first. Didn’t you hear me?” Matilda growled. 

My daughter needs me at the police station. Nothing’s more important than her. This is murder, and if Helen is convicted, she’s gonna either die or spend the rest of her life in prison. I can’t let that happen!‘ thought Matikda. 

Max could only call the lawyer team and followed Matilda to the police station. 

Helen cowered in the corner of the holding cell at the police station, shivering. After she was locked in here, she calmed down, realized what she had done, and got scared 

“Helen” Matilda saw Helen cowering in the corner and smelled the putrid odor of her body from afar, tears almost falling out of her eyes. 

“Quick, open the door!” She urged the officer. 

Helen heard Matilda’s voice and looked up. She saw Matilda and struggled to her feet. The door was open. Matilda rushed in, and Helen ran into her arms, Matilda had to hold her up so she could stand still 

“Mom, you’re finally here,” Helen whimpered. 

Matilda had bribed the officers to give her enough time. 

Ten minutes Later, Helen set in front of her again. She had changed into clean clothes, and the wounds on her forehead and cheeks had been treated. She still looked weak, but her energy had returned, and there was no longer any fear in her eyes. 

Helen was dependent on Matilda. There was nothing Matilda couldn’t solve since Helen was a child, so Helen sabonsciously believed that Matilda was omnipotent. It was not the first time that they caused someone to dic, and they had never been punished for it Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

“Like before, this time, too, Mom would take care of everything, and I would return home unharmed and continue to be Miss Berry, thought 

Helen. 

They were alone in the holding cell, and the conversation would not be overheard 

“Helen, tell me what happened” asked Matilda. 

“Mom, it’s not me! It’s Lear” said Helen. When she thought of Alfred coming to the school to pick up Lea and them standing together in front of so many students, her heart burned with jealousy. 

“Helen,” Matilda got serious, “Did you push Lily off the building?” 

A girl died in this case. It was serious, and there couldn’t be a single mistake. Matilda needed to know the truth. 

Helen’s face went pale as she nodded. “Mom, I thought it was Lea. That’s why I pushed her. How could I ever know that was Lily? Lea is like a ghost.” 

When she said that, she was a little unsteady and subconsciously wiped her long hair back and pinned it to her ears. Just like last time, she was supposed to be in the car, fell into the river, and drowned. I remembered I pushed her off the building, but it turned out to be Lily. Mom. Alfred even went to school to pick her up” Helen’s eyes reddened, and she looked lience. 

“Helen, you are too gullible!” Matilda said in a regretful tone, “I’ve told you many times that Lea isn’t as simple as she used to be and that you should not start a conflict with her! I suspect that she has been pretending all the time. She’s a formidable enemy” 

Matikla’s tone turned harsh to Helen for the first time. She was annoyed at Helen’s disobedience for putting herself in this desperate situation. 

“Mom said Helen, tears in her eyes, “I just want to get rid of Lea. She’s like a ghost haunting us. With her, none of us can live a good life” 

*I told you 

u I would handle her,” said Matilda. 

Helen pursed her lips, grumbling but not daring to say anything. Matilda lad messed up a few times, so she decided to do it herself and said that
