Chapter 99
Lea glanced at Ewan one last time before leaving the hospital room.
She instructed a doctor to keep an eye on him. Once outside, she quickly sent a message to Quicksilver, asking him to take
on Ewan’s cAME.
The reply came almost iminediately.
Quicksilver: [You’re a member yourself, why not take it on? As a new member, you should prove yourself. Otherwise, it’s hard to gain respect.]
Despite the infinite distance of the digital world, Lea could almost sense Quicksilver’s smugness.
She responded: [Ewan is my father.]
Although she knew she was not biologically related to the Berry family and Ewan wasn’t her real father, in the eyes of the Berry family and the outside world, she was still Ewan’s illegitimate daughter.
Quicksilver felt helpless. [You arranged it?)
Lea: [Yes]

She planned to use Ewan to expose Matilda and Nixon’s affair. Since Ewan needed a detective, she would provide ensure she could control the situation.
Quicksilver: [I see what you’re doing.]

He finally understood why she wanted to join and eventually lead their group. It was to make them work for her for free. How annoying.
Lea was speechless.
Quicksilver. [We charge a lot, even if you’re one of us. Rules are mules.]
Lea: [I’ll pay you.]
She sent over the information she had already gathered, which was mostly to be handed over to Ewan via Quicksilver.
After a while, Quicksilver replied: [Got it.]
Meanwhile, outside the hospital, Helen was helped into a Bentley that drove her straight to Fraley Hospital. Max immediately called Matilda, who was on a flight to Maspeyria.
Matilda heard Ewan had called Helen a bastard, hit her, and that her forehead was injured and her face was bleeding….
Over the phone, she could hear her daughter’s anguished cries.
“My face! I’m disfigured! It hurts!” Helen kept crying in pain.
Matilda’s complexion paled. She leaned back in her seat, trying to regain her
After hanging up, she reallocated her work duties to a subordinate and adjusted her flight back to Vaporleon City.
She returned late at night. The Bentley drove straight into her secret private villa. It was heavily guarded inside and out. Not even a fly could get through.
She hurried inside and was met by Max.

Her face was covered with gauze. The wound was not very deep After the best treatment and medication, it had mostly healed, but her face was still swollen
Helen said. “Take me to the hospital, find the best doctor for me I don’t want to be disfigured. If my face is ruined, it’s over.”
During the day, dermatologists and beauty experts had come to treat her at Fraley Hospital. But just as her wounds were starting to heal, she had been taken here by Max with a bunch of bodyguards. It was no different from being imprisoned.

She couldn’t believe that Lea had already known about Helen’s identity and deliberately manipulated her into going to the hospital. But could such a coincidence really happen!
Matilda didn’t believe it. Lea was becoming increasingly unpredictable and sinister,
“Mom” Helen hugged her arm again. “Please explain to Dad, tell him it’s all a misunderstanding. It’s Lea who’s framing me. What if she has completely misled Dad? What should we do?
The mention of Ewan made Helen afraid. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
Matilda looked at her daughter and sighed softly. Helen had oversimplified things. It was also her fault for protecting Helen too well, so Helen didn’t think deeply about it.
Matilda said. “Don’t worry about this matter. I will handle it. You stay here and recover. The doctor will come to change your bandages on time to ensure there are no scars,”
“Stay here?” Helen resisted. “Mom, where is this? I don’t want to stay here. Can’t we go home? I want to go home.”
Although the villa was luxuriously decorated, it felt oppressive with all the bodyguards around. At this moment, she just wanted to go home.
Matilda replied, “This is my private residence, also another home for us. You stay here. In a few days, I’ll take you back.”

Matilda went downstairs, collapsed on the sofa exhaustedly, and quickly dialed a number on her phone.

If this matter were to be exposed, Ewan wasn’t the terrifying one. She could handle that waste. But with Christian’s temper and his way of doing things, she, Helen, and Nixon would be doomed.
