Chapter 538

"Just friends? Regular friends don't visit each other's homes or care this much! Do you think I'm an idiot? Watch your back, pretty boy' Drake snarled.

Drake watched Felix walk away. He clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with cold fury. He clearly had not taken Felix's warning to heart, or if he had even listened at all.

At sunset, in a coffee shop in Yartford, Aimee sat waiting for someone.

After about 20 minutes, a young man walked in and took the seat across from her. He asked, "Aimee, it's been months. What made you reach out?"

Aimee smiled and pulled out a sealed plastic bag containing a single strand of hair that Yvonne had given her. "Leroy, if I remember correctly, you mentioned being a distant relative of the Greene family, right?"

Leroy Kidman nodded slightly. "Why would I lie about that? But if you're hoping to ask any favors from the Greene family through me, it's impossible.

"To be blunt, I don't have that kind of pull, and we're not that close."

They had dated briefly when Aimee was still slim. However, she gained significant weight shortly after their breakup and became the person she was now. Aimee chuckled softly. "Relax. I know my limits. I wouldn't ask for something impossible.

"In fact, I'm here to offer you an opportunity-something that could make you rich beyond imagination. I thought of you first since we have history together." "Rich?" Leroy was intrigued. "Did Xena finally agree to help me with that favor?"

He had contacted Aimee before about something that would be very easy to handle if Xena agreed. Unfortunately, he was rejected.

Aimee shook her head. "No, but you're missing the point. Look closer at the hair in that bag.

Leroy leaned in, studying the bag more carefully. "What do you mean?"

"I know about the Greene family's abandoned heir," Aimee whispered.

Leroy gasped, his expression changing dramatically. "Aimee, do you realize what you're saying? The Greenes would destroy you just for mentioning this!"

Only the immediate and extended Greene family knew about the abandoned heir. The extended family only knew because they had helped with the search years ago, but it was eventually dropped. This kind of scandal was kept strictly under wraps.

"I know who the guy is, and this is his hair," Aimee stated confidently. "With this information, wouldn't you say fortune is within your grasp?"

Leroy snatched up the bag, his eyes wide with disbelief. "Are you sure about this?"

"100%!" Aimee nodded with a smile. "I'm not foolish enough to risk the wrath of a powerhouse like the Greene family unless I'm certain. The question is, do you trust me?"

This was as far as her connections could reach the extended Greene family. Reaching out to the Greenes' inner circle was beyond her. After all, even someone like Nala had avoided getting involved, which spoke volumes about the Greenes' power. After a long moment of hesitation, Leroy made his decision. "Fine! I'll take this gamble with you. If you're right, I'll make it worth your while."

As she watched Leroy rush out of the café, Aimee smirked. "Felix, your peaceful days are coming to an end."
