Chapter 712
The Wicks were one of the most powerful families in all of Springfield City with a total assets of over billions. Jensen,
as the future leader of his family, was almost as mighty as a god to people in Springfield City and could not possibly
know an ordinary man like Leon in Ava’s point of view, so she could not bring herself to believe what Leon said.
“I’m not joking. I meant it-” Leon tried to explain himself, but was immediately interrupted by Ava.
“Enough! I don’t want to hear any more of your lies! Whether you meant what you said or not, Wick Group focuses
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇton working with high–end brands and our brand does not fit into that category, so they will never
work with us!” Ava dismissed him.
She had a great first impression on Leon at first, thinking that a man who won Janice’s heart would be someone
reliable, yet Leon bragged about being friends with powerful figures of the city and Ava felt nothing but disgust for
him.
“It’s fine if you don’t want to believe me.” Leon scowled in annoyance.
He only meant to help Janice, but Ava refused his help blatantly. Since he did not know Ava in person and he had
nothing to do with the company they worked for, he saw no reason in insisting to help despite Ava’s distrustful
attitude.
“That’s better! Allow me to share with you a piece of advice: don’t make promises you can’t keep! It’s appalling!”
Ava shot Leon a look of contempt as she decided that Leon was an unreliable man.
“Why you…” Frustrated, Leon blamed himself for trying to help.
“Miss Addice, please don’t say that about Leon. He is my friend and I know him. I’m sure that he isn’t bluffing. I
believe him!” Janice said earnestly.
“Janice, have you gone mad? The Wicks are one of the major families in Springfield City and Jensen Wick is the
eldest of the youngest generation! How would this guy know such a powerful figure?” Ava questioned as she placed
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏma hand on Janice’s forehead as though she was checking if Janice came down with a fever.
“You don’t know that! Miss Addice, Leon knows Iris Young, Harvey Shear and Cynthia Shear as well!” Janice
explained.
Leon destroyed Brody and Xander the time when he came to save her and she saw him with the Shears siblings
with her very own eyes. Though she did not know the nature of the relationships between Leon and the others, she
did not doubt that he might know Jensen as well since he had connections with the Youngs and the Shears.
“What? That’s not possible!” Ava gasped. She already assumed that Leon was an ordinary man and did not believe
that he would be able to know people from the Four Major Families. Since the Four Major Families were always
competitors, they rarely socialized with one another, and Ava never heard that these families would share common
friends.
