Her Revenge Returns (Lea and Alfred)

Chapter 235

Eng

Lea’s heart tightened, but she tried her best to maintain a calm facade.

She thought, ‘He is right. Blake has incredibly high standards for his granddaughter–in–law

Even though she had achieved so much in her past life, she was still flawed in Blake’s eyes, not even worthy of Milton

The last time Alfred had brought her to meet Blake, she already knew from the scrutiny in his eyes. His actions today only served to confirm everything.

After

a moment of silence, Lea

Lea offered a serene smile. “You needn’t concern yourself with that, Mr. Andrews”

Milton was taken aback. “How dare you be so arrogant, Lea”

It was one thing to disregard him, but Blake was different. The entire Andrews Group was unrivaled by any family or conglomerate, not just within this country, but across the globe.

Additionally, Lea was a mere young girl. Milton felt that she was being ignorant.

“Thank you for the compliment.” Her smile widened, with a touch of defiance,

His face turned pale as he felt a sharp sting.

She understood what was ahead, yet her resolve remained unwavering. Even if it meant walking through infernal flames, risking utter destruction. she wouldn’t alter for Alfred’s sake.

“What makes him better than me, that warrants your devotion for him? Jealousy twisted in Milton’s guts, he was jealous of how much she valued Alfred, a guy he’d never even spared a second glance before..

Lea met his gaze again, her dark eyes shimmering with intensity that seemed almost otherwordly. She said, “Someone like you will never understand.”

In that moment, she saw Milton clearer than she ever had before, even than in her past life.

Milton indeed loved her, cared for her, and even sacrificed for her. But deep down, the only person he truly loved was himself. Everything was crafted to serve his own agenda.

Alfred was different. He always prioritized the people he loved. He was selfless.

Her words felt like a pronouncement of doom to Milton. His body froze as if plummeting into a bottomless chasan as his fingers slowly curled into tight fists

Lea retreated her gaze from him as she turned and went back indoors, joining Christian inside.

Meanwhile, a crackling tension hung heavy in the study.

Blood stained the corner of Alfred’s mouth, his voice was low and menacing, echoed like a lion’s growl. Grandpa, after being so long in Vaporleon City, you know damn well what I’ve been up to

Blake was incredibly controlling. He always wanted things to go his way no matter what.

He had decreed Alfred as the heir, and since he would be turning 22 next year, it meant it was time for him to inherit the company and work for The family.

Although they had not seen each other much in the past few years, he had always known Alfred’s whereabouts. Everything was within his control.

That was why Alfred was raging. The last time I brought Lea to you, you should have known that she’s the person I love, it has to be her. So why did you still set her up with Milton?”

His eyes blazed with a dangerous light as he laid bare Blake’s scheme

Blake grabbed the emerald decoration on the desk and flung it towards Alfred. It brushed past the side of his face, slamming into the glass cabinet behind him with a deafening crash. The pieces of it scattered across the floor.

“I’ve poured my heart and soul into raising you over the past twenty years, and this is how you talk to me! All for a young woman!” Blake’s eyes were bloodshot, his body quivering in rage that he held to clutch onto the desk for support

Alfred was technically raised under his care. Apart from those few years when Alfred was sick and had to stay abroad, Blake always tried to be there

Despite being the heir, Alfred was not interested in joining the family business. He preferred carving his own path in the business world, much like Milton, and he was given the freedom to chart his own course.

Never in these twenty years had Blake and Alfred clashed so bitterly and harshly.

It was beyond Blake’s comprehension that Alfred was doing this for a young girl.

“I have no further requests. Do as you wish with the company and the title of the heir, but my marriage is non–negotiable” Alfred’s tone was unwavering.

“You…” Blake looked at him while being stunned and speechless.

Blake was the one who raised him, he knew him inside out. Once Alfred had set his mind to something, there was no turning back. He was more stubborn than ever about Lea.

Blake knew that Alfred’s stubbornness would only make things worsen and he could not make Alfred compromise with force.

After a pause, he said, “But your cousin publicly declared his feelings for Lea. He’s been smitten with her for quite some time. Now, the entire country and the world know about it, too

Alfred did not waver. It doesn’t matter what he says or does, it won’t change my mind. Grandpa, you should have known that I met Lea first. I’ve been living in Vaporleon City for so long, both of us even started a hospital there together. Milton is the one who is intervening and trying to steal the woman I love. All these tricks and schemes he’s playing will be useless against me”

“You” Blake’s body swayed as he nearly coughed out blood. “What do you think others will think of the Andrews family if you fight over a woman with your family? There are plenty of other women in this world. Did she bewitch you?”

Alfred retorted, “That is Milton’s problem. There’s no way he doesn’t know about my relationship with Lea.”

Alfred knew how much of an impact this would bring to the Andrews family.

In his past life. Milton had exploited the situation against Lea and Alfred, making him kicked out of the family. However, Alfred was the person. who got to know Lea first in this life. Milton was the one who was

was intervening.

Blake was once again stunned. “Relationship? What relationship are you talking about?”

Alfred wanted to confess that he was already engaged with Lea, but the sight of Blake’s fragile state held him back. “We’re just two consenting adults in love, there’s nothing wrong with that.”

Blake’s breath was unstable due to anger. “Are you going to turn your back against the entire Andrews Group for her? To the extent of sacrificing your inheritance too?

silence showed his answer.

Alfred said nothing, but his eyes were burning with determination as he looked at Blake. His s

Alfred’s eyes filled with a pained crimson as he witnessed his grandfather’s uncontrolled rage. A wave of grief and anguish washed over him.

He wasn’t heartless. Besides Lea, Blake was the closest family he had. But this time, he refused to let go of the woman he loved no matter what

He hesitated a moment before leaving the study with his lips pursed. Lea was waiting by the door when he stepped out

Her heart ached when her gaze fell onto the bruise on his cheeks and the traces of blood stain at the corner of his lips.

Lea was able to imagine Blake’s fury based on the sound of shattering objects coming from inside the room. She feared that Alfred might face violence. But she didn’t really think that Blake would strike Alfred.

Christian was also pacing restlessly. He didn’t know exactly what was happening, but he could tell that Blake was giving Alfred a hard time.

He thought, ‘Is this really necessary? Blake is already so old, and Alfred is an adult now!

There were several times that he almost knocked on the door to intervene.

When the door finally opened, Christian saw Alfred and rushed forward. “Did he hit you!”

Alfred shook his head. Tm fine.” However, his eyes were on Lea. He was silently reassuring Lea that he was fine,

“Mr. Berry, Lea, let’s go, Alfred said as he took Lea’s hand.

Christian intended to go in and lecture his old friend but was stunned at the sight of the two of them holding hands.

He asked, “Both you two!”

“Il tell you the details when we get back,” Alfred promised.

Caught off guard. Christian remained rooted to the ground.

“Grandpa…” Lea lowered her heal, feeling like a child caught in the art, then she quickly looked up and held Christian’s wrinkly hand. “We’ll talk

once we are back”

Christian’s eye

twitched. He thought, “We can only get back first. If we talk about it here, Blake will probably come out and fight me

Just as the three of them reached the door, Milion came in. He asked, “Why are you leaving so soon!”

Lea’s gaze shifted to her grandfather and Alfred. She said, “Wait for me. I will go talk to Blake.”

Releasing their hands, she turned and strode towards the study.
