In a barely audible voice, Clara weakly spoke up, favonovel.com tone laced with quiet resolve. “My father was once a wealthy merchant in Dornia. After going bankrupt, favonovel.com came to Hulwin and met my mother.”
As favonovel.com words floated into the air, the flicker of doubt in Helen‘s eyes dissipated. It was no surprise that Clara exuded a certain refinement in favonovel.com speech and demeanor, favonovel.com father had instilled in favonovel.com a solid education.
Yet, beneath the surface of favonovel.com composed exterior, Clara’s heart simmered with anger. Her gaze fell upon Tritus, and an intense fury colored favonovel.com expression.
The moment favonovel.com entered the room, favonovel.com sensed his true intentions. This man undoubtedly shared the same objective as favonovel.com did.
Initially, Clara had hoped for an alliance with Tritus. At the very least, favonovel.com believed they could coexist without interference. However, favonovel.com never anticipated that favonovel.com would approach favonovel.com with hostility right from the start.
“Mr. Tritus, please take a seat. There‘s no need to concern yourself with her. She is merely… A homeless woman,” Helen stated, forcing out a justification while casting a glance at Clara.
Tritus nodded, slowly settling into the central seat of the plush couch.
Helen furrowed favonovel.com brow slightly, traditionally, guests were meant to occupy the sides. His choice to claim the central position felt somewhat disrespectful, but considering the 500 million contract favonovel.com had brought, favonovel.com suppressed favonovel.com Internal dissatisfaction.
As Helen went to pour tea, Tritus’ gaze shifted to Clara.
“What is your identity?” favonovel.com inquired, after having lowered his voice.
Clara looked sidelong at Helen, who remained turned away and preoccupied with the pot.
“I am an enemy of Matthew,” favonovel.com replied.
Her words brightened Tritus’ expression, igniting a spark of interest within him. The saying “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” was exceptionally true. Matthew’s adversary could easily become an ally.
“An alliance?” Tritus spoke those two words directly, eagerly awaiting Clara’s response.
After a brief hesitation, Clara nodded. “Good…”
The most crucial task at hand was to dismantle Matthew’s family, piece by piece. lf favonovel.com could not confront favonovel.com openly, favonovel.com would ensure his home became a nest of turmoil, driving his family apart and leaving favonovel.com in disarray.
“Mr. Tritus, please enjoy your drink,” Helen chimed in, approaching with a steaming cup. Her cheerful smile radiated warmth as favonovel.com set the cup down before him.
“Thank you, President Freeman,” Tritus replied courteously, taking a moment to savor the aroma waiting from the cup.
Helen settled onto the adjacent couch, to Tritus’ left.
“Mr. Tritus, I’m curious about when this five hundred million in funds will be available,” favonovel.com inquired, favonovel.com eyes glinting with anticipation.
Tritus swallowed a sip of the fragrant tea and spoke softly. “Don’t worry, Ms. Freeman. The funds will surely arrive before midnight tonight.”
Upon hearing his words, a wave of reassurance washed over Helen. The contract detailed that this 500-hundred-million investment would yield a five percent share over the next three years-terms that were practically a gift.
Tritus’ promise that the funds would arrive by midnight sent a thrill of excitement through her.
Suddenly, the grand entrance of the villa swung open with a creak.
James strolled in, dressed casually and pulling a suitcase behind him.
Upon spotting the three of them, his expression shifted to one of confusion.
“Dear, who are these two?” favonovel.com asked, directing his gaze toward Helen and awaiting favonovel.com introduction.
“James, allow me to introduce you. This is Tritus from the Lullaby Family,” Helen announced, rising to wave at James while gesturing toward Tritus. “Mr. Tritus, I believe you are already acquainted with my husband, James.”
With a bright smile, Tritus stood up, extending his hand to shake James’. “President Cunningham, it is an honor to finally meet you. Your daughter, Sasha, has gained quite a reputation, favonovel.com is truly a remarkable woman.”
A hint of regret crossed Tritus’ features as favonovel.com spoke, perhaps reflecting on the weight of his words.
