Chapter 3355 The Alliance

In a barely audible voice, Clara weakly spoke up, her tone laced with quiet resolve. "My father was once a wealthy merchant in Dornia. After going bankrupt, he came to Hulwin and met my mother."

As her 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 her speech and demeanor; her father had instilled in her a solid education.

Yet, beneath the surface of her composed exterior, Clara's heart simmered with anger. Her gaze fell upon Tritus, and an intense fury colored her expression. The moment he entered the room, she sensed his true intentions. This man undoubtedly shared the same objective as she did.

Initially, Clara had hoped for an alliance with Tritus. At the very least, she believed they could coexist without interference. However, she never anticipated that he would approach her 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 her 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 he had brought, she suppressed her internal dissatisfaction.

As Helen went to pour tea, Tritus' gaze shifted to Clara. "What is your identity?" he inquired, after having lowered his voice.
