“Take good care of him” Blake instructed the doctor before turning toward the hall.
Ray followed closely behind. “Mr. Andrews, the day is about to break. You should get some rest.”
Blake’s face was etched with exhaustion from a sleepless night, his aged features more prominent than ever. Nodding, he headed towards his bedroom
He needed rest.
At eighty, his body was frail. Despite enjoying a life of high status and luxury, he was meticulous about his health, striving to extend his life.
Just as he entered the living room, someone hurried over, “Mr. Andrews, the tech department can’t crack the hacker’s virus.”“”
Blake’s expression stiffened, his brows furrowing. We’ve enlisted every hacker capable of breaking the virus, but none have succeeded. This is a new type of hacking technique. To crack it, we need the developer
Blake’s face darkened further, a mix of anger and humiliation.
1 Lea forcing me to beg her? Does she deserve it?” he wondered.
As dawn broke, a trending topic shook the online community once again.
Five of the top ten media outlets, along with several well–known journalists, were exposed for accepting bribes and spreading fabricated major
Tiews stores.
Dwayne had arrested one of the key figures.
Coincidentally, the news about Riverview Hospital had all been published by these media outlets and journalists.
Lea had a dreamless, restful sleep, waking up at eleven in the morning.
Alfred was keeping Christian company, and lunch was ready in the hospital cafeteria, prepared to be delivered.
Chris had some work to report. As they waited for lunch, they discussed business.
Lea checked her phone and browsed the web.
The bribery and slander scandal involving the media outlets was spreading like wildfire. People began questioning the credibility of these journalists, with some suggesting that the Riverview Hospital incident might have been fabricated.
The debate grew more intense, creating a powerful wave of public opinion.
Meanwhile, Riverview Hospital announced a press conference at noon.
The news was disseminated through Dynamite Technology’s channels and shared by top–tier celebrities under Degolden, quickly becoming a trending topic online
Chris reported, “People from Vaporleon City have arrived, including the medical department. They’re fully prepared
“The Foxy Livestream team has set up the press conference venue”
“A few pharmaceutical sales agents are also here. Mr. Wessen is showing them around the laboratory”
Lea paused, looking at her.
Despite the prime minister’s trending topic, the pharmaceutical agents wouldn’t have approached so quickly.
Chris had arranged for them to come. She exceeded Lea’s expectations.
Lea nodded. “Proceed with the press conference as planned”
“Understood.”
Just as lunch arrived, Craig was setting the table when Luke came to report. “Mr. Berry, Miss Herry, Ray, the butler from Kentside Garden, is here. asking to see you. Should we let him in?”
someone from Andrews Manor came, he didn’t let them upstairs and
After last night’s events, Luke considered Blake a sworn enemy. Thus, when som made them wait downstairs

He understood his grandpa well. Compromise was out of the question. Blake had been forced into this situation by Lea.
Alfred was impressed that she had managed to push Blake so quickly.
In their previous life, Alfred knew about her relationship with Milton and had refrained from getting close to her to avoid causing trouble. They never got to know each other deeply, so even now, he didn’t fully understand her.
He was curious about how she had managed to make Blake back down
Christian paused, looking at Lea. Blake figured it out so quickly?”
He immediately dismissed the lea.
Alfred had always been resolute, and now he was even more stubborn. What is he planning to do to Lea? Christian wondered.
Christian’s face darkened. “What’s there to see! That bastard…
He glanced at Alfred and corrected himself. “What does Blake want now? Is he planning to threaten the Berry family!”
Christian was well aware of the recent events. He knew Lea had offended the Oliver family by crippling Rex, leaving him permanently disabled. and getting him expelled from Conrad University. The Oliver family sought revenge.
The Oliver family had significant influence in the military, so Christian didn’t doubt their involvement.
If he knew Blake was behind everything, he would have confronted him directly.
“We’ll know once we see him. Bring him up Lea said, glancing at the food on the table. Christian had already started eating
She hadn’t touched her meal yet, as she planned to dine at Kenside Garden.
Soon, Luke led Ray into the room. Ray’s expression stiffened slightly upon seeing them already dining.
Andrews Manor staff had made arrangements early in the morning Ray was sent to invite them for lunch, but it seemed he was a bit late.
“Hello. Mr. Berry, Miss Berry, Mr. Andrews, he greeted them before looking at Christian and Lea. “Mr. Blake Andrews has sent me to invite you and Miss Berry for lunch.”“
As the butler of a century–old family, Kay was polite yet carried an air of authority.
Even in extending an invitation, there was no sense of surrender or compromise.
“No!” Christian refused outright.
They couldn’t be summoned and dismissed at will. The Berry family wasn’t inferior to the Andrews family.
Ray hesitated, looking at them again, and said, “Christian, you and Blake share a deep bond. The two families will continue to interact in the future. Please, for the sake of the children, join us for lunch”
Ray’s words were from a neutral standpoint.
In the future, if Lea and Alfred were to get married, it would be crucial for both families to maintain harmony.
Alfred calmly picked up a piece of green vegetable, eating it slowly without even glancing at Ray. On this matter, he would follow Lea’s lead completely
Christian, caught off guard, looked at Lea
She had already expressed her unwavering commitment to Alfred. She had never asked Christian for anything, so on this matter, he was determined to support her and help her achieve her wishes. Though he didn’t refuse Ray again, he turned away, still visibly angry and firm in his
Lea glanced at both of them and spoke gently, “Grandpa, Blake has gone to the trouble of preparing lunch and has personally sent Ray to invite us. Let’s go and have this meal.”
Ray looked at her, noticing her confident and calm demeanor. She had anticipated that Blake would be asked to invite her to lunch.
Lea is indeed remarkable, Christian thought.
Christian looked at her, feeling a pang of sorrow. Though she didn’t show any signs of being aggrieved or yielding, he still felt a deep sense of pity.
‘If it weren’t for Blake, she wouldn’t have to go through this for a man. I’ll remember this debt, he thought, letting out a cold snort. Seeing this, Ray quickly extended the invitation again. “Mr. Andrews sincerely invites you and Miss Berry to lunch. Please do a

Alfred paid no attention to Ray, simply supporting Christian as they walked forward. Since they were going to Kentside Garden, he would go along to keep an eye on things.
