Chapter 512
Chapter 512:
“I’m here to assist you.”
“What?”
Leonidas glanced in her direction, his intense gaze sending a chill through Alissa’s spine. “You’re probably wondering about the identities of those two individuals from earlier, aren’t you?”
Alissa’s expression changed as she hid her discomfort, locking eyes with Leonidas. “Do you know who they are?”
“Absolutely,” Leonidas responded with a smirk. “Those two are no ordinary people. Either one has the potential to turn Efrery upside down.”
“So what?” Alissa scoffed, brushing it off. “Efrery is just a tiny speck. Even those who cause trouble are still nothing in Cloverhill.”
“You have a point! Cloverhill is the center of power, and Efrery doesn’t compare to it. However, currently, you’re in Efrery. If those two target you in this city, even as the Welch family heiress, you’d struggle to handle it.”
“Would they really take that risk?”
Leonidas laughed. “Maybe not others, but they definitely would.”
Alissa’s eyes narrowed, her thoughts swirling with doubt.
She came from the powerful Welch family of Cloverhill. In her own city, even the wealthiest families showed her great respect. Who would dare challenge her?
Still, judging by the way those two acted, it was clear they didn’t think much of her.
Furthermore, with Lancelot and Nolan on their side, it was clear they had considerable influence. They might truly pose a threat to her.
“Tell me, who are they?” Alissa asked.
“The man in question is Aiden Green, the leader of the Green family,” Leonidas stated.
“What?” Alissa gasped, nearly springing out of her seat, her face frozen in utter disbelief. “He’s Aiden?”

“Yes,” Leonidas confirmed, his gaze unwavering.
Alissa’s expression was a whirlwind of emotions—frustration, indignation, and embarrassment.
“Is it possible you’re interested in Aiden?” Leonidas asked with a frown, his keen observation already piecing together some details from Alissa’s reaction.
Alissa didn’t respond directly to the question. Instead, she asked, “And what about the woman? Who is she?”
“Her name is Janice Edwards, the disowned daughter of the Edwards family.”
Upon hearing that Janice was an outcast from an obscure family, Alissa’s face twisted in disdain. “What’s the nature of their relationship?”
“They were once married, but they’re divorced now. Recently, though, Aiden has been trying to reconcile with her.”
“How could someone like her even catch Aiden’s attention?” Alissa’s eyes were sharp, clearly harboring ill intentions toward Janice. Her visit to Efrery was motivated in part by her desire to win Nolan over, but also by her interest in Aiden. Aiden’s powerful reputation had already stirred Cloverhill, with every prominent family taking note of him.
Three years ago, Aiden had been involved in a car accident and became paralyzed, but it was all part of an elaborate ruse to expose those with harmful intentions. As the conspirators revealed themselves, Aiden had shed his facade and eliminated them with ruthless precision.
The most astonishing part was that within just three years, Aiden had quietly built Forest Corp. Now, with the merger between Green Group and Forest Corp, their influence could rival that of some of Cloverhill’s most powerful families.
