Chapter 220
The virus research department was only accessible if one wore a special research suit. Alfred could only watch the people inside through the glass door in the corridor outside..
Among them, he saw a rather po
petite person. She was the only woman in th
the entire laboratory and was very easy to recognize.
Furthermore, this was the figure he was most familiar with. No matter what she wore, he could tell at a glance.
Jason asked, “Mr. Alfred, do you want me to inform Miss Berry?”
Alfred looked at Lea who was being surrounded by Trenton, Charles, and others. Then, he shook his head. “Don’t disturb her.”
He looked at Lea for a while before leaving. He went to the CEO’s office and called Chris and Eddie, who had just arrived at Iverton. for a meeting.
Chris had rushed over from the airport. Recently, because of the hospital, she had been going back and forth between Iverton and Vaporleon City. She was exhausted
As soon as she arrived outside the office, she saw Eddie, who had also rushed over. “What’s wrong? Why did Mr. Alfred call us for a meeting now?”
She raised her wrist and looked at her diamond wristwatch. It was twelve o’clock at night.
Eddie answered, “I heard that Miss Berry is in the laboratory. She probably won’t come out tonight”
Chris wailed.
She thought, Would I ever be able to have a good night of sleep while I woke for these two workaholics?
Lea led everyone and stayed in the laboratory for the entire night. She was eventually called out by Quicksilver’s call. “Indeed, I didn’t find any information about those people, let alone any viruses related to them. However, I think I found something similar to a totem. I’ll send it to you.”
After hanging up, he quickly sent a message.
She opened it and her pupils dilated. It was a rose totem.
The rose was beautiful and eye–catching. It was filled with thorns and emitted a sharp light, making one’s heart beat wildly.
“She immediately replied: [There’s no need to investigate further.]
She
was very familiar with this totem. It was the totem of the wealthiest family in the world, the Rizzo Family.
In her previous life, she had come into contact with this totem when she
years old.
Ar dat time, her amificial brain had already been updated to the sixth generation and was used in various smart products. Her career was in full bloom, and Andrews Group entered the top 20 of the world
The core members of the Rizzo family came forward to poach her, and she could name any conditions she wanted. After knowing her relationship with Milton, they even sent out the young men in the family for her to choose.
A lot of those young men were mixed–bloods. All of them had handsome appearances and were outstanding people from all walks of life. They were the perfect male idols in the hearts of women. She didn’t agree and almost died at their hands.
When she was almost 26 years old, Andrews Group relied on annexing a large number of leading companies and monopolizing many emerging industries. They relied on her research results and patents to barely compete with the Rizzo family.
However, in terms of strength and resources, they were far inferior to this family which had more than 200 years of history.
About a hundred years ago, after the rise of technology, the Rizzo family began to infiltrate various industries around the world through acquisitions and investments.
they were
invisible and not known by
After hundreds of years of ups and downs, this family had already infiltrated various worlds, but it was as if they w the public..
In addition to their terrifying capital strength and dominance over the various fields, they also specially nurtured their own army to help the family deal with things that could not be dealt with openly. Those people were called the Sweepers.
The people who ca
came to deal with Joey and the others were the Sweeper of the Rizzo Family. They had no names, no background, and would not any traces on the Internet, so it was very difficult to find them.
leave
If they continued to investigate, Dark Union might be targeted by this family. It was very dangerous.
We are not investigating anymore? Why? Quicksilver asked.

Knowing that Lea was going back to the source to save someone, he mobilized all his resources to investigate.
Lea replied: [I found a way to save him]
Last night, she had already guided Charles and the others to study an extremely strong serum
This was a powerful serum that she had developed for several toxins in her previous Life. As long as it was reproduced, she was 70% confident that it could cure Joey’s poison.
Quicksilver texted back: [Okay.]
After communicating, she gripped her phone tightly and looked outside. Outside the enclosed glass corridor, the morning sun had already risen and the sky was clear.
Hearing footsteps, she turned around and saw Alfred.
He was wearing a light gray silk shirt and looked lazy and cool. He smiled at Lea and it was instantly bright and radiant, even more dazzling than the sunlight outside.
The fatigue from not sleeping the entire night and the haze from finding out about the Rizzo Family were instantly swept away, and Lea became energetic.
She took off her protective suit and walked over. “You’re here!”
“Yes.” Alfred looked into the laboratory. Is it done?”
As he spoke, his slender fingers brushed away the hair on her small face.
When she entered the laboratory, her long hair was tied up. Now, a few strands fell down and covered her face.
Lea tilted her head and rubbed her face against his hand. “It’s almost done!
“Let’s go and have breakfast. She had worked so hard, so he had to feed her first.
“Give me a minute. I’m going to see the patient,”

Previously, Lorenzo said that they suspected that the people who attacked them were agents from another country. The Rizzo family wouldn’t attack a flying control researcher in a country. Then there was only one reason. They were there for Joey.
Even if she cured him, they could do it again at any time. Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
The Alvarez family was also in a dangerous situation
If she wanted to help Willow and save Joey, she had to let them know about this.
Although she didn’t know if they knew, she wanted to go and tell them.
Alfred said, “Okay, I’ll wait for you”
She went to the changing room to change before coming out and going to the ICU to look for Willow’s parents,
At dawn, the Alvarez couple had already come to the ward to guard their son. Lorenzo was also there.
Knowing that Lea had also gone to the laboratory, he quickly went up to ask about the situation.
Sydney asked, “Miss Berry, did you find anything?”
After two days of rest, her mental state was much better.
“We’ll talk about it now.” Lea invited the couple into the room next door, and Lorenzo followed. “I can tell you that the person who attacked your son was not targeting the research center.”
The three of them looked at her in surprise.
“What did you find?” Lorenzo was shocked and asked anxiously.
In the past six months, he had been searching for the mastermind behind the attack even in his dreams. He had also secretly investigated the enemy’s information and wanted to avenge his staff and Jory, but he had found nothing. He yearned for new clues more than anyone else.
She looked straight at him and shook her head. It wasn’t that she hadn’t found out, but that she didn’t want to tell him.
It would be
equivalent to sending him to die if Lea told him to look for the Rizzo family.
He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth to suppress the surging emotions in his heart.
Lea said, “You can leave. I have something to ask Professor Alverez and Mrs. Alvarez
He backed stiffly out of the room
noom.
Only then did the Alvarez couple come back to their senses.
“Miss Berry,
you saying that those people are here for Joey” Sydney was shocked.
Before she could answer, she murmured again. That’s true. If they were targeting the research center, why was there only that one attack? Why was Joey hurt? The research center hasn’t been invaded since”
Lea came to those conclusions based on these conditions.
Obviously, Sydney knew some inside information.
Marcus was also shocked. He had the same thoughts as his wife.
They were all highly intelligent and lofty figures. It was not difficult for them to figure this out.
He looked at Lea “What does Miss Berry mean!”
He was a little flustered and his tone was trembling, not much better than Sydney’s
Lea asked, “I want to know how much you know about the person behind the scenes. Can you provide some information so that we can track down the original virus?”
She could only use this as an excuse to see if they knew about the Rizzo family.
The couple was at a loss. They looked at each other and shook their heads.
Sydney said, “Miss Berry, to be honest, we don’t have a clue about this at all.”
Lea took a deep breath. It was not surprising that they did not know about the Rizzo Clan. However, Lea still wondered why those people attacked Joey
Sydney looked up at her husband again and said, “I trust Miss Lea Berry”
Her husband was stunned. He looked at her and then at Lea, not knowing how to make a decision.
She was a genius doctor and was very capable. This was undeniable, but they had only known her for two days,
“Marcus, Miss Berry can save Joey’s life. Why can’t she be trusted?” Sydney relied on her intuition. They didn’t have a better choice.
He lowered his head and stopped talking.
She turned around and said to Lea, “Actually, Jory is not our child. We adopted him. When we adopted him, his closest family all died. If he hadn’t been protected, he would have died with his family. I think those people must have discovered his background. We adopted him from the Military Flight Control Systems Research Center.”
Lea was shocked. She was
was also p
given to Christian by the research center.
Sydney added, “Also, Joey has just turned 18 this year. In order to hide his identity, we fabricated his age. He developed very quickly and has a very high 10. On this point, outsiders can’t tell
Lea was shocked again
In other words, Joey and she were both born at the same time and were sent out by the research center to be adopted. She wondered if there was a relationship between them.
is Lea Berry, is there a problem?” Seeing that she was in deep thought, Sydney asked.
Lea said, I’m I’m fine
Sydeny asked again. Then what do you need us to do now? Should we go to the research center to investigate Joey’s background and find the mastermind?”
Then, they would find the original virus.
Lea shook her head. “That would be too complicated, 100 time–consuming, and too risky.”
The mastermind was in the dark and they were in the light. If they knew that Joey could still be saved, they might immediately attack again. Sydney
and Marcus knew this very well.
“Then what should we do now!” Sydney became even more anxious after learning about this.
Lea said. The laboratory is already developing a new powerful serum it will be more effective against the virus. There’s a high chance it com detoxify him. However, if the person behind this finds out that he’s alive, he won’t let the matter rest. I wonder what your plans are”
The Sweepers from the Rizzo family had never failed a mission.
Joey only survived now since he had met Lea.
However, once they discovered that he was still alive, they would definitely attack again. There were many ways, and no one could defend against
them..
The couple looked at each other and were in a dilemma.
When the other party first attacked, even Lorenzo’s team was wiped out and couldn’t protect their son. They didn’t know how else they could protect him.
The few of them discussed in the office for another ten minutes before coming out.
Lorenzo was still waiting outside. Seeing that Marcus and Sydney were down and Sydney was wiping her tears, his heart sank.
Marcus helped his wife to the ward.
Seeing Lea come out, he shouted, “Lea…” His voice was hoarse and trembling.
The lab is working on a strong serum. I hope it works on him,” she said, and left,
Alfred was still waiting to bring her to breakfast. She was also very hungry.
When she entered the elevator, Lorenzo sagged against the wall, covered his face with his hands, and slowly lowered himself to the door. He recked. of despair.
He had finally found a new hope, but it was suddenly going to be gone.
Lea entered the elevator and went downstairs.
She thought for a moment, took out her phone, and sent a message to Lorrand.
He asked him to test the DNA information of Joey her, and Christian
She stepped out of the elevator and saw the black Cullinan parked at the door. Alfred was already waiting in the car.
The hospital had yet to open for business and there was no one at the entrance. The car could drive in directly.

into the car and Alfred took her to a nearby high–class restaurant for breakfast
He reached out to wipe her eyebrows. Did you encounter some difficulties? Why are you frowning so much?”
Joey’s background has another origin. He’s not the biological son of the Alvarez family, I think the person who attacked him did it for his background.” She did not need to hude anything from him. She also wanted to share it with him. “You know Lorenzo Patton, right?”
He nodded. “He’s kind of a distant relative of the Andrews family!
Lea paused.
Alfred raised his eyebrows. “The group of attackers killed his entire team?”
She nodded.
As expected. Alfred knew more about the inside stories of the rich families in Iverton.
Alfred commented, “That’s pretty impressive”
She nodded. “The background should be very strong.”
She didn’t tell him it was the Rizzo family, and she didn’t know if he was aware of their existence: But for now, she didn’t want these things to bother him
If one day, she bumped into this family, she would tell him
He saw the flicker in her eyes and knew she hadn’t told him everything
But he believed her. If she didn’t say anything, there was no need to ask.
He only said, “Don’t forget that your boyfriend is also very powerful,”
She was stunned for a moment. When she came back to her senses, she couldn’t help but smile. Her curved eyes were hot and sour.
She thought, “But also want to protect you. I don’t want you to get hurt again, and I definitely can’t let you get hurt because of me
“Eat up.” Alfred pushed the breakfast served by the waiter in front of her.
After breakfast, Lea returned to the hospital. She didn’t have to worry about Jory for the time being but the hospital was about to open for business and there were many things waiting to be dealt with. She could take the opportunity to work overtime. Alfred sent her back.
“Get enough sleep first,” he told her before she got out of the car
Lea said, “I know. I want to live healthily for a hundred years. Otherwise, I won’t be satisfied if such a good boyfriend is taken by someone else.” Alfred smiled in satisfaction. He watched Lea get out of the car and watched her enter the building before driving off to do his own things. There was a special office in the hospital for Lea. There was a bedroom inside. She took a nap in the morning and went to Chris’s office in the afternoon to ask her to coordinate work
At six o’clock in the afternoon, when it was almost time to get off work, Lorrand came to her with the test report. “Miss Berry, the test results you wanted are out
Seeing his strange expression, Lea’s heart skipped a beat. She immediately took the report and looked at it. Her hand trembled.
She and Joey were related by blood. She guessed that they were direct relatives three generations ago. Joey and Christian also were related. According to Jeffrey, Jory was the child of Christian’s son in the research center, which was Lea’s current identity. She felt that Joey’s birth mother was related to her by blood.
Now that their identities had been swapped, Lea realized that the people from the Rizzo family were supposed to come for her.
Her face paled and her heart sank.
