“Silly child.” Sydney pulled Willow off Lea’s arm and continued, “There’s always someone better out there regardless of how good you are. Willow, Lea is not like you,”

Sydney initially believed that her family was full of geniuses. However, after meeting Lea, she realized that they could not hold a candle to the former.

“Of course we’re different. Lea is much better than me!” exclaimed Willow with a proud expression.

Sydney said to Willow, “Stop disturbing Lea. She has to work. You need to start acting your age.” Willow behaved like a spoiled child whenever she was around Lea. This gave Sydney a headache.

Willow took a glance at Lorenzo and restrained herself. She didn’t want him to see this side of her, afraid that he would think she was childish. Her ears turned red.

Trenton injected the medicine into Joey, and Willow stood by the side with an expectant expression.

Lea left the ward first. Lorenzo followed her out. The two of them chatted in the corridor.

Lorenzo asked, “Have you heard about the latest update regarding Nathaniel?”

Lea nodded. It was all over the news.

Thank you for your hard work,” Lea said sincerely.

She knew what kind of pressure Lorenzo was under.

Even though Lorenzo was a core member of the Patton family, many people would probably want him dead for meddling in this affair. Thankfully, Lea managed to provide a lot of evidence so that they could prove the truth to the authorities and the public.

Lorenzo was practically risking his future and his life for the sake of Lea’s agenda.

Lorenzo replied, “Miss Berry, don’t worry. I’ve also gained a lot in return. Thanks to this case, I’ll most likely be able to climb to the position I desire.”

His eyes sparkled with a hint of joy.

His career would experience a meteoric rise thanks to this incident.

“Is that so?” Lea looked at Lorenzo.

Lea knew what kind of benefits this incident would bring Lorenzo. That was also the main reason why she chose to work with him. However, from the looks of it, the benefits Lorenzo reaped far exceeded her expectations.

Lorenzo asked, “Do you know anything about the special organization?”

Lea nodded. She knew it quite well. Even now, she was still amazed by the extent of its authority. She was curious to find out what would happen to the organization after this.

Lorenzo said, “After this, this organization will most likely be disbanded.

Although he used the phrase “most likely“, his expression was firm.

Lorenzo had pressured the higher–ups to close down the special organization, and the higher–ups more or less agreed to his suggestion.

If things didn’t go as planned, Lorenzo would seek the help of Alex to close it down.

In Lorenzo’s opinion, the special organization should be closed down immediately. Lorenzo said, “But there’s another similar department. It’s called the Seventh Agency.”

Lea nodded again.

In Lea’s previous life, Milton wanted her to focus all her energy on scientific research and rarely let her come into contact with all these special departments. However, she had encountered members from various departments once or twice and had some understanding of the Seventh Agency.

Lea was well aware of the influence and status of the agency in Iverton. Lorenzo did not have to explain things in detail.

Lea asked, “What about it?”

Lorenzo revealed his goal. “I’ll be promoted. I plan to go there!”

Lorenzo could choose to move up and get closer to Alex’s current position. It would be more beneficial for him in terms of ranks and job scope.

However, if Lorenzo joined the Seventh Agency, he would have higher authority in some aspects and would have more freedom to forge his own path. Therefore, he wanted to join the agency.

“Do you need help?” Lea knew that it would not be easy for Lorenzo to join the agency, especially since he didn’t want to rely on his family connections.

“No. The people in the military and government will assign me there,” said Lorenzo as he revealed a sly look.

Lea quickly understood what he meant.

With the elimination of Nathaniel and his accomplices, the higher–ups had gotten rid of a few threats and freed up a few positions. However, many people had waited for years for promotion. Certainly, they did not want Lorenzo, who was much younger than them, to be promoted before them.

Besides, Jill and Alex were still in power. If Lorenzo joined them in the upper echelons, the Patton family’s influence in the military would be further strengthened. This was undesirable for many people.

However, Lorenzo had made such a huge contribution and was famous. The higher–ups had to promote him to a satisfactory position. Therefore, assigning Lorenzo to the Seventh Agency would be the best choice for all parties.

“What are you two talking about?”

Lorenzo and Lea looked up and saw Jonah walking over. He was wearing a large dark fur coat, and even his boots were covered in fox fur. He appeared luxurious and oppressive. His outfit accentuated his handsome face.

Jonah looked especially sly and charming in this outfit.

“We’re just chatting,” Lea replied.

Jonah approached them and said to Lorenzo, “Mr. Patton, you will soon be promoted. You’re welcome.”

Lorenzo frowned, and his expression turned cold.

In his eyes, Jonah was a businessman who made huge profits from questionable businesses. As a righteous soldier, Lorenzo abhorred him.

For the sake of Lea, Lorenzo ignored Jonah.

However, he was annoyed by Jonah’s words.

Lorenzo finally understood why the higher–ups were in a rush to promote him even though the case was not settled yet. From the looks of it, they were pressured by the netizens‘ comments.

Everyone on the Internet said that Lorenzo was brave to stand up for justice. Coupled with his handsome looks and occupation as a soldier, Lorenzo had countless fans online. Of course, most of them were female fans who were simping for his looks.

Regardless, his righteous and fearless image was well–known on the Internet and deeply rooted in people’s hearts. Therefore, everyone petitioned for him to be promoted.

Jonah was the mastermind that steered the netizens‘ perception.

Jonah’s goal was to help Lea nurture a dependable ally in the military field. Jonah would indirectly

benefit from it too.

Even though Lorenzo was unhappy with this, he allowed Jonah to influence the netizens since Jonah and Lea were business partners.

However, Lorenzo would never thank Jonah.

He was confident that even without Jonah, he could still get the position he wanted.

Lorenzo gave Lea a look and left without saying anything else.

Jonah watched Lorenzo leave as he narrowed his eyes. Then, he regained his composure.

As long as he achieved his goals, he didn’t care if Lorenzo looked down on him.

Lea narrowed her eyes and sized him up.

Jonah asked, “Why are you looking at me like that? Do you want me to stay out of his business?”

He looked a little hurt.

Jonah explained, “I did nothing wrong. If Lorenzo doesn’t take this opportunity to rise up, he resist the counterattack from the other party in the near future?”

Lea’s heart sank. Jonah’s words were a good warning.

Lea initially thought that she and her allies would be fine as long as she kept a distance from Phillip. However, Jonah was right. Their opponents would counterattack too.

This time, their opponents suffered heavy losses with the special organization being shut down. Lea was well aware of Lorenzo’s way of doing things. If he was promoted, he would be a nightmare for their opponents.

Of course, it would be best if Lea could get rid of Philip as soon as possible.

Lea wondered if she was becoming complacent because everything had been going so smoothly.

“You are right. You did a great job,” praised Lea sincerely as she looked at Jonah. “I’m just a little surprised.”

‘Jonah’s eyes lit up, and he revealed a joyful expression.

He was happy to be praised by someone he admired.

Jonah asked, “Then, will you agree to let me participate in the operation of the underground boxing ring?”

This was why he had come to find her.

Lea replied, “You’ll have to ask Yannis and his management team about that. I don’t interfere with

their business.”

Personally, she thought highly of Jonah’s business talent and how he was cautious yet decisive. She

also knew his bottom line. In Lea’s opinion, Jonah was well suited for the underground boxing

business.

However, Yannis and his operation team made the calls.

Jonah was stunned. He took a good look at Lea. His admiration for Lea deepened.

Jonah was well aware of the potential of Yannis and his team. They could definitely build a competitive sports industry with boxing as the core that would rake in enormous profits.

The security team that Jonah had trained for Lea and the hospital, led by Vincent and Luke, was more powerful than an army.

Any one of Lea’s business ventures was priceless. Yet, she did not interfere in her allies‘ decisions.

Lea was broad–minded and had a vision that extended beyond money.

Although Jonah did not necessarily agree with Lea’s values, he admired and had huge respect for her.
