Chapter 58
“Lea… Lea? Christian called her a few times before Lea came back to her senses and stood up.
Christian asked, “What were you thinking about? Why were you so engrossed?
Lea was stunned. She had been too angry just now and lost control of her emotions. She didn’t expect Christian to see it.
She answered, “I was wondering why Shannon would do such a stupid thing
Shannon had actually sacrificed the rest of her life for a woman who was not her biological mother and had taken advantage of her since she was young Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
Christian was taken aback. He thought. It wasn’t because
e of H
Helen? Was 1 being paranoid”
However, he could not see through Leanow. Christian, who was naturally suspicious, did not fully believe her words.
“Grandpa, let’s go.” Lea got up and helped him out of the side door.
Before leaving, she turned to look at Shannon, who was being e escorted away by the police officers, and sighed
She thought, “This stupid girl is too kind and soft–hearted in the end. In order to save Donna, her so–called mother, she is willing to make such a big sacrifice.
When they arrived at the parking lot outside, Matilda and Helen had yet to come out. It seemed that they would not come out for a while,
“Grandpa, let’s wait for Mom and Helen here. We should go home together.” Lea had a smile on her face, and there was no trace of reluctance on her beautiful and kind face.
Christian was stunned for a moment before he felt relieved.
He thought, ‘From the looks of it, Lea sincerely hopes that Helen will be released. She is not easy to deal with, but she is very clear about such matters. She has always put the family’s reputation and interests first, and I admire her for that
After exiting the courtroom hall, Matilda and Helen walked out along the corridor.
Helen could not wait to tell Matilda her thoughts.
Matilda said, “Helen, it’s not impossible. I had the same idea, but it’s not a good time to do that while we are in the limelight
If the public paid too much attention and the truth was exposed, Helen would be finished.
“Mom!” Helen panicked and hugged her arm tightly. “Now Shannon…”
Shannon had already confessed and the court had already sentenced her. Donna’s life was still in their hands, so Helen felt that Shannon did dare to say anything. There would not be any more changes in this matter.
Helen continued, Tm acquitted. There won’t be a problem. Mom, I want to do a good job, help you carn money, and share your burdens. I want to show Grandpa what I am capable of. I have more potential than Lea. I’m more valuable to the Berry family!”
She wanted to overshadow Lea’s light so that Alfred could only see her.
She couldn’t wait to be famous.
Helen added, “Mom, you borrowed so much money from Grandpa and the others to recover the shares of Berry Group this time. You’re under so much pressure. This is such a good opportunity to earn money. I really want to help and make up for my mistakes”
1. v. Matilda was tempted.
At the mention of money.
She was able to get to where she was today, holding the core power of the Berry Group in her hands under Christian’s nose, secretly working with Nixon to bring Fraley Medical to its current scale because she dared to take risks and was good at seizing opportunities.
Letting her daughter enter the entertainment industry was her plan a few years ago.
With Helen’s current character and reputation, she could indeed make a lot of money. With their current financial situation, they also needed money quickly.
Matilda said, “Tll think about it and arrange it for you.”
Helen was overjoyed and kissed her on the check. “Mom, you’re the best. I knew you would support mel”
Ever since she was young, her mother had always granted her every request. If she wanted a star, she would never give her the moon.

“But you must not take matters into your own hands. All actions must wait for my arrangements” Helen was still underage and had yet to experience the world. She had also been spoiled by Matilda and could not take charge.
“Lea is still staring at us Matilda’s gaze turned cold
She had been defeated by Lea time and time again. She was very cautious now.
At the mention of Lea, Helen was very angry. “Mom, I know. I’ll be careful and listen to you?“
But soon, she smiled and thought, I will soon be a superstar. How can Lea compete with me? If she likes Zed Jarvan. I will give him to her. Only a man like Alfred is who I should be with. It will not be long before I steal him from Lea
“Wait for me here. I have something to deal with, Matilda looked at the reporters not far away and said to Helen. Then, she walked over.
This reporter was from the media company under her and Nixon. They would do anything she said.
She still had to remind them to make sure that the news that was released was flawless. She still had to rely on this news to increase the Berry Group’s stock price and return the money to the bank as soon as possible.
At the same time, she had to prepare for the Berry Group’s press conference.
She had already arranged for the press conference to be divided into two core content. One was to clear her daughter’s name in the name of the Berry Group, and the other was to announce the new technology of the Berry Group
With both, the stock price would definitely soar.
She wanted to take back all her previous losses, including the portion that Lea had taken from her.
Helen stood at the door and waited. Shamon’s lawyer came forward “Miss Helen, Miss Yancey wants to see you.”
Helen frowned and looked at the prisoner’s temporary release room on the other side. Shannon was temporarily detained there, waiting to be sent to prison.
The lawyer added, “She said she was worried about her mother’s condition and wanted to talk to you. She also said.” He leaned closer and lowered his voice. “She had direct evidence against you.”
Her face fell, but she went anyway.
Ar this moment, if Shannon spouted nonsense, it would be disadvantageous to Helen. She had to appease her.
Helen pushed the door open and saw Shannon sitting at the table. Her handcuffed hands were placed on the table. There were a few bloodstains on her face, and her cheeks were swollen. Her feet were also handcuffed. She looked ferocious and disheveled.
Helen looked outside, only to see a policewoman standing guard far away.
“Bang” She pushed the door shut, cut off from the outside world, and walked over,
re intertwined, and she was
“Shannon Helen stood opposite her. Because of her guilty conscience, she did not dare to get too close. Her hands were a little anxious. She did not dare to look at Shannon directly and avoided her gaze. “You… why are you looking for me?”
Shannon put her hands on the table and slowly stood up. Her dull eyes were cold and ruthless.
“Helen, I’ll bear the crime of murder for you. Her tone was low, revealing a toughness and resentment that she had not had in the past.
Helen was shocked and looked at the door in fear.
She thought, ‘Is she crazy to say such things in such a place!
Shannon said, “My mother…”
you and your mother to appeal
‘Til definitely take good care of her!” As soon as she spoke, Helen promised, “Til treat her like my own mother. She’ll be fine soon
Shannon’s expression hardened. She placed her hands on the table and leaned forward, closing in on her. “I want y for me to change my sentence! Whether it’s tampering with the facts or bribery, in short, it can’t be life imprisonment.”
After being imprisoned for 30 years, her life would be completely ruined.
This was the first time Helen had seen such a fierce expression on Shannon’s face. She was so frightened that she took a step back.
Shannon reached our with both hands and grabbed Helen. She grabbed her so hard that red marks immediately appeared on Helen’s smooth and tender skin.
“Shannon, don’t… don’t be agitated!” Helen comforted her and tried to break free from her grip, but Shannon’s grip was firm,
1356 PM
“Cut the crap!” Shannon was tired of Helen’s hypocritical expression. “Can you do it?”
Helen looked at her in surprise and thought, I can do that, why would I need you to take the blame for me!”
“Of… of course, we’ll think of something” No matter what, Helen had to calm Shannon down first. Once she was in prison. Helen would not be afraid of her anymore.
Shannon sneered and let go of her hand. She took our her phone from her pocket. “Helen, I have the video of you pushing Lily down the stairs. Life imprisonment? You might as well just let me die. If I want to live a life worse than death, don’t you even think about living a good life!”
