“Mom…” Helen went forward and hugged Matilda’s arm to comfort her. “Don’t be sad anymore. Grandpa wouldn’t want to see you sad either. He would have wanted you to take good care of the company for him.”
Helen also wiped her tears and looked quite sad.
However, Lea was embarrassed when she saw that Helen almost couldn’t hide her excitement as she cried.
Matilda nodded. She wiped her tears and calmed down.
After signing the share acceptance letter, the board of directors handed the company’s official seal
to Matilda.
Matilda handed Max the shares and the seal and gave a simple succession speech, It was also her inaugural address as Fraley Group’s CEO.
Matilda said. “Thanks for attending my father’s funeral and the inheritance ceremony. From now on, I will redouble my efforts to correct the mistakes made before by Fraley Group. I will make amends and contribute to society. I bring Fraley Group to greater heights. I will repay everyone who has always supported me and the Fraley family.”
After that, it was time for the burial.
Matilda personally closed the coffin and watched as the coffin was buried. The guests went up one by one and placed a white rose on the grave. Lea walked up to Matilda and placed a white rose on the grave.
When Lea got up, she leaned toward Matilda. Lea’s voice was not too loud nor too soft, and just audible enough that Matilda could hear it. “You might want to bury him deeper. Otherwise, he just might come looking for you.”
Matilda raised her head abruptly. Her forehead almost collided with Lea’s. Their eyes were only inches apart.
Matilda saw the sharp glint in Lea’s profound eyes, as though she could see through everything. She also looked menacing glint in Lea’s eyes. Matilda thought, ‘Does the bitch know something?”
Matilda didn’t need to think to know that Lea had to have known that they had made her father the scapegoat.
Lea could read Matilda’s thoughts clearly, but could only guess part of it.
Matilda’s pale face gradually turned red. Her hands gripped the shovel tightly, and her knuckles turned white. If not for the fact that everyone was watching and it was her father’s funeral, she

would have killed Lea to silence her.
“Go away.” Helen saw that Lea was provoking Maltilda and went forward to push Lea.

Helen did not want Lea to attend her grandfather’s funeral at all. Every time Lea appeared, nothing good would happen.
However, they couldn’t chase Lea away when she came with Christian.
With just a glance from Lea, Helen’s hand froze; she didn’t dare push her away.
Lea straightened and walked away from Helen and Matilda.
It was already eight o’clock in the evening when they returned to the family residence from the cemetery. The sky was completely dark.
When the car reached the iron gates, Lea received a call from Lorrand. “Yannis went to the underground boxing arena. I saw that boxing glove in his room. I’ll send you a photo.”
After hanging up, Lorrand sent the photo over.
The black boxing gloves were cut and torn open. The hard steel parts inside were dismantled and thrown on the table.
Lea could tell at a glance that it was the tool that gravely injured Yannis’s chest.
Lorrand had seen the model which Lea used the formula to create and could also tell at a glance..
As Yannis was injured, Lorrand had gone to deliver medicine to him. But Yannis was no longer in his rooms when Lorrand came. Seeing what was on Yannis’s desk, he understood and called Lea.
Lea said to Jason, “Go to the underground boxing arena.”
After a forty–minute drive, the car arrived outside the underground boxing arena. The street was dilapidated and chaotic. The lights were dim, but it was bustling. There were many vendors selling food.
Some of the audience bought food and went to the entrance to head down to the arena.
Jason parked the car and got out first. He opened the door for Lea and followed closely behind her to protect her. He walked toward the underground arena with a frown.
Jason did not expect a rich young lady like Lea to come to such a chaotic place. But he quickly realized that Lea was walking briskly and looking straight ahead, as if she were a regular there. It

was unbelievable.
Lea had suffered in the asylum for a year In her previous life. There was no place in this world that she would not dare to go.
This underground boxing arena was less than one–tenth the size of Iverton’s. The arena was dilapidated and the layout was poor. It was dim. Only the boxing arena was lit up as bright as day.
The venue was packed with about 500 to 600 people.
There were the roars from the audience, the scent of beer, and the indulgence and wildness in the atmosphere.
BOOM!
On the stage, a boxer was hit by his opponent and fell to the ground.
All the audience stood up at once. They cheered and applauded. The clamor was almost deafening.
“Number one! Number one! Number one!” The shouts continued.
The winner standing on the stage was Yannis.
Number 1 was the number on Yannis’s boxing uniform. It was also his code name when he joined the boxing competition.
Yannis had joined this boxing arena half a year ago. His go–all–out fighting style left a deep impression on people. He was also the boxer who had fought the most matches. The audience here, had long remembered him, and some of them were his fans.
The audience was all boxing fans. When they shouted Yannis’s number, they naturally thought of the world boxing champion, Joshua. However, no one would think they were connected.
Yannis was wearing a black and red boxing suit. His exposed arms, legs, and even his cheeks were covered in scars. They were soaked in sweat and reflected the light, emitting vigorous strength.
Yannis didn’t look as if he was in pain. Those scars were the result of his hard work and sacrifice. They were also his trophies. This bit of pain was completely acceptable to him.
The audience, who had been busy all day and were exhausted by work and life, looked at Yannis and watched the boxing matches. Under the influence of the atmosphere, they felt that their tired and weak bodies were filled with strength again.
That was the charm of boxing.
The host went on stage and invited Yannis down. “Ladies and gentlemen, the most exciting moment has arrived. Next up is our life–and–death match.”

Chapter 162
The so–called life–and–death match was not a match, but a fight for one’s life.
There was no limit in the match. As long as no one died, it did not matter. There was no time limit. It would only end when the losing party collapsed and admitted defeat.
“Who is tonight’s arena champion?” The host turned the microphone toward the audience.
This was announced yesterday, so the audience naturally knew.
“Vaporleon City boxing champion Aiden Armstrong, everyone shouted in unison. Their voices were loud and clear, nearly shooting to heaven.
A banner fell from the roof above the boxing ring. On the banner was the arena champion for tonight.
For more than a month, Aiden had been the arena champion. Since he went on stage, he had never
lost.
When the audience saw Aiden’s banner, they applauded and cheered.
The host continued, “And the person who will challenge him tonight is our popular boxer, Number One who has returned!”
The applause was obviously much softer this time, and the cheers were almost gone.
It that the audience didn’t think highly of this Number One, but Number One had lost to
Aiden a month and a half ago, helping Aiden consolidate his position as the arena champion and setting a record of more than a month of consecutive wins.
And for the past month, those who bet on Aiden had made a profit. Therefore, it was easy to choose who to bet on tonight.
Yannis had decided to fight this match at the last minute. He had not even done a banner.
Next was the cheerleading dance performance during halftime, creating an atmosphere of entertainment and leisure.
When Yannis came down from the stage, he saw Lea enter. Then, he saw Jason beside her.
No matter where it was, when Lea appeared, she would be the most striking one. It was because Lea was too good–looking and had quite the presence. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Yannis walked out of the arena.
Jason was full of questions. “This kid is here to box?
Lea did not answer Jason. She only said, “Follow him.”

The trio arrived at the dark corner of the venue.
Yannis confessed. “I want to fight this match.”

Lea turned around and looked at the banner above the boxing ring. “Was he the one who injured you last time?”
