Chapter 332
Lea’s eyes darkened. She knew things would not be so simple. Even if Alfred gave up the inheritance rights, Blake and the Andrews family would not let him go easily or let them have their way.
This wasn’t what she wanted.
Since Lea would deal with Milton, she would inevitably clash with some members of the Andrews family.
However, she didn’t want to embroil her family into it. So, she smiled cooperatively and let them believe she would comply with the arrangement.
On Monday, Lea, Shannon, Willow, and Steve returned to school together. There was a class taught by Alice. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
“Ring–The bell rang to signal the start of the class.
“Click, click, click…” The sound of high heels came from the doorway.
Everyone looked up and saw Alice walking in with her bag.
She was wearing a long purple down jacket and black high heels with red soles. Her gently curled hair framed a look that was both elegant and endearingly youthful, embodying the ideal teacher figure for her students.
But as soon as she entered, everyone turned to look at Lea, who was sitting in the middle of the classroom, an easily visible spot for all the students.
Lea had become a star in the school. Her mere presence in the classroom caused a stir. Almost every student wanted to talk to her and ask what she had gone through.
But Lea brushed them off with “I’m busy,” and then buried herself in her notes. With Willow, Shannon, and Steve sitting around her, it was impossible for others to approach her. Her standoffish vibe helped maintain some peace in the classroom.
Half a semester was about to end, but Lea hadn’t been at school for two months and wasn’t familiar with everyone.
If it weren’t for the sensational events involving her and the school, many wouldn’t even know her.
Now, Alice was back to teach their psychology course. Thinking about what the lecturer had said in her first class, everyone glanced from her to Lea and started murmuring.
Student A said, “Ms. Reed spoke so confidently back then and even used that incident as a case study, but the outcome was so unexpected.”
Student B agreed, “Yeah, how are we supposed to understand the content she taught us now?”
“This is the first time I’ve seen classroom theory overturned so quickly,” said Student C.
Student A remarked, “That’s right. How are we going to understand this knowledge now? This will affect us for the rest of our lives.”
“We can’t be learning false information, right?” said Student B.
Hearing their discussion, Lea asked, “What exactly happened?”
The students around Lea told her about the lesson.
Student A explained, “Lea, Ms. Reed said she delved into your innermost feelings using psychology. Considering her expertise, how did you manage to outwit her?”

Student B asked, “How capable is she?”

“I heard you also know psychology and hypnosis. Did you use your psychological knowledge to deal with her? How did you do it?” Student C was curious.
“Yeah, Lea. In that case, you’re better suited to be our lecturer than Ms. Reed,” commented Student B.
Student A asked, “Lea, considering what Ms. Reed has done to you, isn’t she your enemy now? How can you tolerate it?”
Student B echoed, “That’s right. If she had really hypnotized you, the consequences would have been unthinkable.”
“Are you still willing to attend her class? She almost harmed you. I couldn’t do it if I were you,” Student C said.
These students had all recognized the truth and were relatively neutral. Now, they doubted Alice’s ability and felt indignant for Lea.
“How did she do it? She must have fooled Ms. Walked!” A mocking voice silenced everyone.
It was Beatrice.
She sat three rows behind Lea and was staring at Lea with a hostile gaze.
Next to Beatrice was Leona, and two seats away from them sat Abigail.
Abigail was wearing a white lace blouse with balloon sleeves. Her head bent over her book as she took notes with a pen, seemingly detached from the surrounding drama.
Her elegant and serene presence made her the most unique presence in the classroom.
But after hearing Beatrice’s words, she raised her head and looked in the direction of Lea.
Lea continued to bury herself in her books, taking notes rapidly, as if completely oblivious to the people and events around
her.
When Shannon and the others heard Beatrice’s words, they turned around angrily only to be caught by Leona’s piercing
gaze.
Leona was staring at Shannon intently, her eyes gleaming with a venomous intensity.
Paul was investigating Donna’s baby–switching case from years ago. Once enough evidence was gathered, she would be sent to prison, which was practically a death sentence for her.
Leona was never good at hiding her feelings, and now she couldn’t control them at all.
One look from her made Shannon’s breath catch, and she clenched her fists in anxiety.
For the past few days, the Moore family had been persistently seeking to meet Shannon, but they suddenly stopped. The security covering for her at the hospital told her what the Moore family was doing.
So, Shannon figured Leona was worried now.
“That fake heiress looks like she wants to devour you. Is she crazy?” Willow was irritated by Leona’s stare and eager to protect
-Shannon.
Both Shannon and Willow were roommates with Lea and colleagues. They saw each other as sisters. Faced with such a threatening and hostile gaze, they could not swallow their anger.
“She took your identity, stole your parents, enjoyed your wealth, made you live her life, and still dares to look at you like that? What right does she have? This person is just… like a demon,” remarked Willow.

“There’s no need to stop to her level and waste your time on her. Shannon comforted Willow.
Y’S
… You’re right. She doesn’t deserve our attention,” Willow agreed.
After attracting everyone’s attention, Beatrice continued, ‘Lea not only excels academically but also in her job at the hospital. She has made Riverview Hospital famous in such a short time. Her ability to deceive and fool everyone is also impressive.
“She even outmaneuvered an expert like Ms. Reed, turning the tables to her advantage.
“That’s truly mind–blowing!”
“Exactly!” Rita chimed in, “I’m so impressed that I want to become Lea’s student. Lea, teach me. I want to be like you, getting my family to fund my start–up, attracting nationwide attention, and making a fortune in no time.”
“Yeah, I want to learn from you too,” Daisy echoed.
Rita went on, “You guys probably don’t know, but Lea is not only famous now but has also shocked people far and wide. I’ve heard that Riverview Hospital is now valued at billions of dollars. She’s now a billionaire, excluding her family’s wealth.”
Beatrice added, “How many of us come from families that have billions of dollars? Aren’t those fortunes the result of generations of hard work? But generations of effort can’t compare to a few months of her work.”
One student said, “I’m envious, I want to learn from Lea too, but I don’t know if she’d teach us.”
