Harold said, “The person who invested in Samantha’s company is the president of Swallowston Bank, Amanda Cole.”Jaden chuckled and said, “Swallowston Bank, huh? That’s nothing to my family.”This was precisely what Harold wanted to hear.No one from Swallowston dared to claim to be the boss of Southrive.No one from a small place like Swallowston dared to speak before Southrive’s influential families spoke.“However, Adrian’s wife is quite pretty. Samantha Cowell is the most beautiful woman in Swallowston. It’ll be nice if I get to fool around with her.” Jaden smirked.“Hahaha!” Leonard burst out laughing upon hearing this.Adrian’s wife was one of the most beautiful women in Swallowston indeed.As soon as Jaden’s voice died away, a voice was heard saying, “I bet you don’t know this, Mr. Jaden. In truth, Samantha has yet to sleep with Adrian. You have my full support if you wish to bed her.”Cedric limped his way into the house with crutches and proclaimed this with a sneer on

The Xanders made up their minds.After that, Leonard, Wilfred, Cedric, and others began to ferociously propagate the news that the Xander Group was about to merge with Southrive’s River Group to become the River Group’s branch company in Swallowston.One could say that the Xanders exaggerated the information substantially.To publicize to all of Swallowston, Leonard even held a press conference to get the information on the business news headlines.The effect achieved was within the Xanders’ expectations.Following the spread of the information, almost everyone in Swallowston soon learned about the merger.***At night, Samantha returned home after she was done handling the affairs of tomorrow’s opening ceremony.Meanwhile, Rue and Adrian were having dinner together.Samantha learned about the Xanders receiving an investment from Southrive’s River Group and found it incredulous.She said, “Adrian, is your grandfather a fool?“Oops, sorry for my choice of words, but you have

Rue understood all of the Xanders very well.It was a waste that Henry had passed away at such a young age.Samantha said, “You’re right about my uncles-in-law being idiots. All they do is be angry and scold people all day long. On the other hand, their sons, Cedric and Jacob, are always stealing money from the company so they can spend it on partying with women.”In truth, that was something Samantha had wanted to say all this time. However, she found it inappropriate to say in the past when Adrian was not around.She continued, “I really can’t figure out why my father-in-law is so outstanding while his two older brothers are so useless. Moreover, their sons are even worse.”Rue chuckled upon hearing that.She glanced at Samantha and said, “Sam, Henry inherited his mother’s talents and willingness to work hard. On the other hand, your uncles-in-law inherited their father’s laziness.“You have no idea how lazy Harold was in the beginning. I heard from Henry that your grandmother

Adrian hung up the phone and took a shower before retiring to his room.Adaline was the previous occupant of this but it was now his.He had only laid on the bed for a few short minutes before his phone rang again.The call came from Gorgonshire’s Battle Warrior Skylar.“Sir.” Adrian heard Skylar’s voice as soon as he picked up the phone.Navia was guarded by nine battle warriors. Skylar managed the Northrive zone and he shared a reputation as celebrated as Battle Warrior Lucas.Adrian had trained Skylar singlehandedly too.Adrian said, “Have you looked into the matter that I tasked you with?”Skylar said, “I sent someone to pay a visit to Northrive’s Hart family earlier to inquire about them. You’re right, they had an heiress who married a Xander and moved to Southrive.“That man is your grandfather, Harold Xander.”It was just as Adrian had speculated. His grandmother, Layla, originated from a rather influential family indeed.Adrian asked, “What was the name she went by w
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 143
Samantha fell silent upon hearing those words.She had no idea who Adrian was on the phone with, but at this very moment, she recalled all the events that had taken place since Adrian’s return. She suddenly realized that these events were not coincidental.It felt as if someone was making arrangements for these events in secret.It started during Swallow Central’s opening ceremony up until the establishment of New Paraiso.Too many things had happened in succession.‘There must be someone planning all this, but who?’Samantha’s gaze landed on Adrian at last. She knew that her husband was definitely not the ordinary person that he made himself out to be.Where was he over the past seven years?Had he served in the army?Samantha found that to be rather unrealistic but she suddenly came to realize at this exact moment that the situation was not as simple as she had imagined.However, she was a careful person. She did not say or do anything and obediently retired to her room.S

Riley broke down.The goal of Southrive’s River family was obvious.What sort of person was Jaden River? He grew up in a business family. His father and grandfather were renowned entrepreneurs. How could the Xander Group contend with him?Yet, why could Leonard not understand such a simple issue?Riley cried and said, “I’ve already said my piece on this matter, Father. We can wait and see if I’m wrong about this.“I have no doubts that the Xander Group’s shares will change drastically when Jaden channels the money into the company.“By then, Jaden will acquire all the shares using money bit by bit. In the end, he will kick Grandfather and all of you out of the company. By then, it will be too late to regret this.”Riley did her best to convince Leonard.But why would Leonard allow himself to be dissuaded? He was already immersed in the joy of having the Rivers as his backer.However, before Leonard could lose his temper again, Cedric walked over with his crutches. “Riley, I ha

The next morning, Samantha woke up early for New Paraiso’s opening ceremony.Samantha spent a little over an hour getting ready, donning a formal business suit with high heels. She looked alluring, mature, and charming.She also applied eyeshadow on her eyelids and lipstick on her lips, which was rare.Samantha looked extremely enticing and breathlessly beautiful.“Are you done getting ready, Adrian? Let’s eat on the way over. It will be a busy day at the company, and we should leave soon,” Samantha smiled and said to Adrian as soon as he stepped out of his room.Adrian glanced at Samantha and was enthralled by her.Her long legs were glistening with a seductive glossy sheen under her skirt and Adrian could not refrain himself from taking a few extra glances.“Do I look good?” Samantha asked.She spread her arms and spun around in front of Adrian on purpose.He smiled and said, “My wife is beautiful. She’s exquisite.”Samantha sniggered and said to Rue who just got out of her

Samantha realized she was no longer able to figure out Adrian’s thoughts.Still, she chose not to think too much since time was of the essence.Instead, she brought Rue with her to New Paraiso’s official opening ceremony.***Meanwhile, Adrian had someone deliver him a car so that he could drive over to Swallowston Cemetery.The area was rather quiet, seeing how it was in the suburbs.The cemetery was not luxurious per se, but it was the place where Layla Hart, Adrian’s grandmother, rested.Adrian did not know much about Layla’s life, but from what he knew, she was born into the Hart family—a wealthy family in Northrive. She had gone through life with a silver spoon in her mouth, receiving the best education possible.When Layla grew up, she became not only the most beautiful woman in Northrive but a learned one.Perhaps it was during the later years of her life that she crossed paths with Harold and got together with her.Despite her family’s objections, Layla went on to mar
