Alfred waited outside for a while. Alter Christian came out, he got in the car and grumbled, I’ve never seen that girl so carefree, sleeping so soundly. She’s really lazy”
Hearing this, Alfred smiled with relief. “Christian, shall I take you to the airport to go back to Vaporleon City?”
Christian replied. “No, I’ll stay in Iverton. As her grandfather, I must be here for her.”
They understood the intentions of those behind this and were playing along. As her grandfather, Christian had to help with the act
Alfred nodded. With Lea currently detained, it was his responsibility to look after Christian.
the third day of Lea’s detention, Lorrand was bailed out and returned to the hospital.
At the same time, the government announced the verdict on the Oliver family case.
Beata was sentenced to death, and the father and son of the Oliver family were sentenced to ten and ea
eight years respectively for misconduct and alsise of power. The fall of such a high–ranking and influential military family was widely welcomed, and the public rejoiced.
On the fourth day, Chris was bailed out, Karly in the morning, Theodore, the head of legal affairs, went to the detention center to pick her up.
As Chris exited the detention center, she remarked, “Not bad, Theodor. You actually managed to get me out.
Her position in the company was second only to the boss. Being bailed out at this time was likely the work of Alfred, but he hadn’t intervened. The hospital needed strong legal support, and she had been building that team. She hadn’t expected them to perform so impressively.
Theodore replied, “It wasn’t us. It was a student from Conrad University, Steve Watkins.”
Chris paused. She had investigated the surgery involving James and was naturally aware of Steve
Seeing her surprised expression, Theodore added, “He approached us and gave us this idea. At this critical time, having you back to oversee the hospital’s operations is crucial, so we adopted his suggestion.”
Chris said, “No wonder he’s a student at Conrad University. They’re all geniuses. The nearly thirty–year–old legal elite felt a sense of admiration for the younger generation.
She nodded, and her mind raced. She deduced Steve must have met Lea during James’s surgery and was now repaying the kindness. His character seemed solid.
“What about Mr. Phoenix and Mr. Wessen?” she asked.
family. We’ve tried with Mr. Wessen, but Steve said they’re being held forcibly, and
Theodore replied, “Mr. Phoenix was bailed out by the Moore family. Iegal procedures won’t work now!”
Chris nodded. This situation aligned with Lea’s predictions.
As they talked, they reached the car, Chris opened the door and said, “Find a way to recruit Steve.
Her eyes sparkled with the desire to attract talent. Such a genius, especially a university student with a bright future, was someone she had to
Theodore replied, “Understood, Ms. Foster,”
They got

With the holiday over, Shannon returned to school. She dragged Willow, who was engrossed in the lab, back to school as well.
In their first semester of freshman year, many courses were mandatory for the entire grade, so students from different majors attended together.
The first class was an introductory philosophy course. As the two of them entered the classroom with their textbooks, a cup of coffer was thrown at NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
Shannon had been staying alert and managed to shield Willow from the coffee. Still, some of the coffee splashed onto her clothes and hands, burning her with its scalding heat. It was about 212 15.
The coffer had been aimed at Stunnon’s face. If all of had hit her face, with the current capabilities of the school medical offer, it would have left marks and caused disfigurement. It was a malicious assault.
“Shannon, how could you be so reckless and get in the way?” Daisy, still holding a thermos cup, glared with unfulfilled anger. “You should apologize.
Chapter 283
Before Daisy could finish, a resounding slap landed on her face, turning half of it red.
“You!” Daisy instinctively covered her face, staring in disbelief. She didn’t expect Shannon to slap her.
“Apologizer” Shannon’s voice was cold and unyielding
This kind of tactic was outdated. Helen had forced her to use this dirty trick Lea back in high school.
Daisy retorted, “Why should I apologize to you?”
Shannon grabbed Daisy’s collar and kicked her in the shins. Daisy cried out in pain and fell to her knees before Shannon.
Holding Daisy’s collar tightly, Shannon forced her to the ground.
“Shannon, how dare you assault a classmate in the classroom!” Rita and Beatrice stepped forward.
Shannon looked at them one by one. Leons and Abigail stood behind them, coldly watching, with some of their admirers gathered around.
At the start of the school year, Lea was the most popular. Everyone admired and liked her. However, she was always busy with hospital work and endless tasks, attending only essential classes and barely involving herself in school affairs.
Abigail and her group were different. They quickly built good relationships with their classmates and gained their support. Now, their reputation and popularity have far surpassed Lea’s, winning the favor of many male students.
Arc
you blind! Can’t you see Daisy assault us first? Willow stepped forward, rolling up her sleeves, ready to deal with these two bitches.
Beatrice snapped, “Willow, your family is a respected research family in Iverton. How can you associate with people like this?”
“What are you trying to say?” Willow glared at her.
“Riverview Hospital!” Beatrice sneered. “Illegal drugs, unauthorized experiments. Lea, the so–called genius, is truly disappointing.”
“Thankfully, justice prevails in this world, Lea can look forward to a lifetime in prison,” she said with immense satisfaction. Even Leona and Abigail behind her showed glee in their eyes
“You’re talking nonsense. It’s a frame–up, Willow retorted.
“Is it?” Rita asked, her tone slower and louder, meant for the surrounding students to hear. Then where is Leat Why isn’t she at school?”
She continued. Just because Lea has some dirty money to suppress the trending searches, it doesn’t mean she can cover up the facts. Everyone is not that gullible”
Such a sensational incident had been trending that night, but the topic had been suppressed, and information was becoming scarce. It was clear that someone was behind the scenes controlling the narrative.
Leona’s eyes flickered with a hint of malice. She couldn’t even buy trending topics, so the force behind suppressing information was considerable. But she could ensure that everyone in the school knew.
“You’re just a bunch of morons!” Willow seethed with rage.
“Willow, watch your mouth. We may be courteous enough not to hit girls, but we won’t tolerate insults”
“Insult? You.
“Willow.” Shannon interrupted. “There’s no need to explain.
These people were influenced to ruin Lea’s reputation at school. But given the current situation, they didn’t need to do anything further. Shannon’s gaze was fixed on Leona Leona was targeted at her.
Rita said, “Shannon, don’t act so self–righteous. We see through your poor, hardworking student facade. You’re as involved with Lea as anyone and should be locked up too.
She stepped forward, “If you withdraw from school voluntarily, we’ll let you off. Otherwise, we’ll call the police and send you to prison.”
“Withdraw from school! All the students chanted in unison, their voices fierce and menacing, advancing to force her out of the classroom.
Leona smiled triumphantly, stepping back to make way for a few tall male classinates next to her.
Shannon looked up at Leona. Leona’s provocative gaze and victorious smile reveal their true goal. It was to force her to withdraw from school.
For Shannon, Conrad University was a chance to elevate her status and make a name for herself. They were trying to ruin that opportunity.
As Lea had said, they had some real tactics,

Shannon smiled defiantly as she took a step forward. She was resolute and unyielding.
