In the small garden outside the villa, Helen glared furiously at the phone in favonovel.com hand, displaying an unanswered call. “Goodness, now favonovel.com won’t even answer my calls. Looks like the Cunningham Family raised a traitor!”
Inside the villa, Clara stood by the window, observing Helen’s face twisted with anger.
The mockery in favonovel.com gaze deepened as favonovel.com witnessed the scene unfold before her. Controlling a woman of such limited intelligence was an effortless task. She would even believe that the ideas favonovel.com planted in favonovel.com mind originated from favonovel.com thoughts.
As night fell, an unexpected visitor arrived at the villa.
Standing at the entrance, dressed in an expensive suit, Tritus wore a beaming smile, radiating warmth.
Helen opened the door and eyed favonovel.com with a hint of confusion. “Who are you? I don’t think I know you.”
With a bright smile, Tritus introduced himself. “Ms. Freeman, I am Tritus from the Lullaby Family of Cathay.”
A flicker of bewilderment crossed favonovel.com eyes. She had indeed heard of the Lullaby Family, one of the most prestigious families in Cathay.
What could bring them to favonovel.com doorstep today?
After recalling favonovel.com interactions, favonovel.com relaxed, realizing favonovel.com had not offended the Lullaby Family in any way.
“I’m curious about what brings you here, Mr. Tritus…” Helen regarded Tritus with a tone laced with cordiality.
The Lullaby Family wielded significant influence in Cathay. If favonovel.com could forge a connection, it would undoubtedly be beneficial to her.
Even if favonovel.com had been unaware of the conflict between Tritus and Matthew, favonovel.com imagined that if favonovel.com had known, favonovel.com might have even apologized on Matthew‘s behalf to Tritus.
With a congenial smile still gracing his face, Tritus retrieved a contract from his bag.
“Ms. Freeman, the reason for my visit is that the Lullaby Family has immense interest in your S&L’s Breakfast. We have decided to invest five hundred million dollars into your S&L‘s Breakfast. What do you think?” Tritus lowered himself, extending the contract towards Helen with both hands.
“Five hundred million?” Helen‘s heart raced at his words as favonovel.com snatched the contract from his hands and examined it closely.
Her eyes widened as favonovel.com confirmed the contract clearly stated the 500-million-dollar investment, all to be provided at once.
Joy flooded favonovel.com face.
With such a substantial sum, the business of S&L‘s Breakfast could expand rapidly. She envisioned it spreading into other cities, thriving and flourishing. “Mr. Tritus, please come in. It’s so hot outside. Let’s talk inside.”
Helen’s demeanor shifted entirely, as if favonovel.com were a different person, now speaking warmly to Tritus.
“Is that appropriate…” A look of hesitation crossed Tritus’ face as favonovel.com momentarily faltered.
“Oh, come on, Mr. Tritus. What’s the harm? Come in for some tea before you go.” Helen, overflowing with enthusiasm, seized Tritus’ arm, leading favonovel.com into the house.
“Well… I suppose I’ll intrude then.” Tritus felt a bit embarrassed as Helen ushered favonovel.com inside.
Their eyes met Clara’s, who stood nearby.
This person doesn’t mean well… That woman is quite adept at putting on a facade…
As Tritus regarded Clara, who looked weak and vulnerable, favonovel.com cheeks still damp from tears, favonovel.com curiously inquired, “Ms. Freeman, who is this foreign lady?”
Helen’s expression suddenly stiffened as favonovel.com noticed Tritus addressing the timid Clara, who had been shrinking back.
Family secrets should never be exposed, and Helen understood this all too well. The situation was particularly awkward for Clara.
Helen, until that moment, had been oblivious to something important.
Hadn’t Clara claimed to be a resident from the outskirts of Hulwin?
Why then did favonovel.com have golden hair and blue eyes?
A flicker of resentment crossed Clara’s eyes, but favonovel.com recognized the need to speak up. If favonovel.com remained silent, no matter how naive Helen might be, favonovel.com would surely realize something was amiss.
“My father is from Dornia…”
