Many viewers on the Internet were affected by what happened at the press conference. Coupled with the guidance of public opinion, some people had already been completely brainwashed. They stood up and called for support for Matilda.
Ewan picked up
saw the situation and the the laptop that he had knocked over. When b comments, he exploded again. “How shameless! She paid those families to act with her. She even hired people to write those comments online. It’s her usual trick.”
Ewan even spat at the laptop screen. “You’re all blind. You’ve all been deceived.”
Lea looked at Ewan. He had been married to Matilda for nearly twenty years and knew Matilda quite well. However, he had to tolerate Matilda for so long that Lea felt a little sorry for him.
However, Matilda was not too smart this time. Even Ewan could see through her. Still, Matilda managed to brush off the problem now. That was also quite capable of her.
A chat screen popped up on Lea’s computer screen. It was a message from Chris. [Should we release more shocking news and ruin the press conference?]
Lea and the others had looked into the hospital for a long time. Almost all of Fraley Hospital’s data archive was in their hands.
Matilda had said that she didn’t know. If they posted her work record, her lies would be exposed. Lea thought momentarily, then replied: [There’s no need to go through so much trouble.]
Lea had her ways of dealing with Matilda. She instructed: [Check Fraley Group’s funding. If they want to bring in funds, cut them off.]
Chris’s eyes lit up. She knew what Lea was going to do. She replied: [Okay.]
“I’m going to expose that shameless bitch.” Ewan could not take it anymore and stormed toward the door.
Ewan had just pulled the door open when there was a loud bang.
Lea had shut the door from behind. “The press conference is over,” she said.
It had just ended.
Ewan was stunned. He knew that by the time he arrived at the scene, there wouldn’t be a soul there.
Ewan retorted, “I’ll call the media. I’ll expose her.”
Lea nodded. “Sure. If the media asks you why you do that when she’s your wife, how will you

Lea continued. “The media will ask you what the inside story is, is the truth? How will answer them? They will want you to give them evidence. What are you going to give them?”
Ewan did not have an answer.

Lea did not relent. “They will ask if you are trying to get a divorce now by destroying your wife. They will want to know if something is going on between you two.”
Ewan was at a loss for words.
Lea went on. “If Matilda takes advantage of the situation and announces that she’s divorcing you, will you be able to stop her from taking away half of your assets and Berry Group shares she has? She doesn’t just have Berry Group shares. She also has the technology, resources, and connections.” Ewan turned around and lay back on the bed. Life was so difficult. He might just well just sleep.
After the
press conference, the crisis at the Fraley Hospital almost cleared up. The public fury and videos on the Internet disappeared within a few days.
Matilda was busy with Henry’s funeral.
Without Helen and Matilda disturbing them, the family residence was very quiet.
At night, Lea received a message from Chris saying that Nixon met the CEO of the largest investment group in Jopuris and they seemed to have a good chat.
The
group was the largest investment group in Aetheris and had always wanted to enter the domestic medical market. Last week, the group had even contacted Chris to invest in Riverview Hospital.
However, they were not short of money.
If Fraley received enough funds, they would be able to reopen the hospital and survive.
That was not what Lea wanted to see.
Chris called and asked, “Do you want me to go to Jopuris?”
Lea replied, “No, I’ll take care of it.”
Chris answered, “Okay.”

After the call ended, Lea looked at the time and turned on her computer. She wrote a code and began to investigate the investment company and the CEO.
Lea worked late into the night. She took a screenshot of the video Jason had given her and sent it to the CEO’s private email.
The next day was Henry’s funeral. Because he had done such a heinous crime, his funeral had to be a quiet affair.
However, Matilda still invited several dozen guests. Almost half of the prominent people in Vaporleon City came. Although a few of them did not attend personally, they sent representatives.
As for the other half, some were not afraid of the Fraley family’s power, including the Berry family supporting Matilda.
The rest really did not want to come. They saw no reason to attend the funeral of a man who had committed a heinous crime. After all, they had been powerful for nearly all their lives and did not. want their reputation to be ruined by attending the funeral.
If they had been photographed by the media, it would implicate their career and family. They were eager to avoid the funeral.
There were also a few relatives of the Fraley family with some interest in the Fraley Group attending the funeral.
Lea also went with Christian. After all, they were relatives of Henry’s. Because of their relationship with Matilda, Christian could not be too cold.
On the other hand, Lea was purely there to watch the show.
When Christian saw that Lea did not stop him and even wanted to come along, he naturally felt that he should go.
The funeral was held in the Fraley family’s cemetery. The plot had already been chosen by Henry a few years earlier.
In the evening, the afterglow of the summer sun cast a warm light over the entire cemetery. It was quiet and beautiful. However, the scene was abnormally silent and no one mourned the deceased.
Nobody had really wanted to attend Henry’s funeral. They were glad that Henry was dead.
Prior to the burial, the Fraley Group held an inheritance ceremony. This was the reason why Matilda was able to invite these guests.
The inheritance ceremony was conducted by Matilda’s trusted aide, Max. They were accompanied by a lawyer, the board member of the company, and the media. NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

Max announced Henry’s will first. He said that the will was made by Henry a few years ago. He only had one daughter, so no one doubted him.
In the will, Henry left all his assets and shares to his daughter, Matilda.
Then, under the witness of the lawyer and the board of directors, Matilda signed the equity acceptance letter.
“Ma’am.” Max handed Matilda the contract bound in a folder.
Matilda took it, holding the folder in one hand and the pen in the other. Her hand was shaking so badly that it made a noise when her hand brushed across the paper.
Matilda gritted her teeth. It took a lot of effort. It took her three times longer than usual to write her
name.
Plop.
When the last stroke was completed, tears rolled down Matilda’s cheeks and landed on her signature. Her eyes were red and she choked silently.
Everyone thought that Matilda was too sad and could not control her emotions again. They all felt that Matilda was a little pitiful.
Lea was very close to Matilda and could see her clearly. It was obvious that Matilda could not suppress her excitement.
Matilda had finally succeeded in getting her hands on Fraley Group.
Lea was probably the only one present who understood what Matilda was thinking.
Although Matilda was Henry’s only daughter, she was just a tool to him. Henry had raised Matildal and nurtured her for the sake of his business, so she had to marry for the sake of the company’s development.
As Henry’s only daughter, Matilda had always believed it was her right to inherit his company and assets. But Henry had valued the company more than his life. He’d never made it clear that he would hand everything over to Matilda when he died. Matilda had been afraid she wouldn’t get
As time passed, it became an obsession for Matilda.
Now that Matilda had finally obtained the company, it was natural for her to be excited.
