In the next few days, the city grew increasingly excited about the Swallow Central investment conference.The legate and his wife became a hot topic.There was then further news that Battle Warrior Lucas was back in Swallowston and Swallow Central was locked down in preparation for the conference.This sent ripples throughout Swallowston.***The day of the conference finally arrived.All the invited corporations and families went to Swallow Central to attend the conference.Every one of them was excited to see the legate and his wife.Samantha did not go to the office that morning but was instead spacing out at home. No one knew what was on her mind.Adrian, on the other hand, had left home early in the morning. Even Samantha had no idea where he had gone.“What’s on your mind, Sam?” Rue saw her spacing out on the couch and asked.Samantha looked at Rue and replied, “Mother, something feels off today. I feel as if something big is going to happen. My eyelid keeps twitching.

Everyone agreed with Nathan. If Samantha was shameless enough, she could get in by pretending to be a Cowell.If she went in with Adrian, they would be so ashamed.Violet rushed to the front desk and asked the receptionist and security guard. “If a woman named Samantha Cowell tries to get in saying that she’s with the Cowell family, do not let her enter.”After they said okay, she went in with the rest of the family. Right before stepping in, she reminded everyone. “Behave yourselves. Everyone here is important.”“Don’t worry, Grandmother. We won’t be humiliated as long as Samantha doesn't get in.” Clara smiled.Violet nodded and went in.***At the conference venue, the rooftop garden.The affluent families of Swallonston were there. All of them were well-known throughout the city.People from the top four families were there too.Two choppers were waiting on both sides of the venue. The legate and his wife would each fly into the venue in one of these choppers.People stan

”He’s here!” “His wife is finally here too!”“I'm finally meeting the legate from my dreams!”Cheers rang throughout the rooftop garden as Adrian and Samantha stepped out of the chopper. Samantha was shaking. Everything that was happening was like a dream. She was still shocked. She finally understood that she was not the CEO of the House of Bailar today, but the wife of the famous war legate. All eyes were on her. She turned around and saw Adrian coming down from the other chopper. He was in military uniform and looked grand—exuding an outstanding demeanor. The venue quieted down after the crew members stepped in. No one spoke but everyone was excitedly looking at Adrian and Samantha. Some of them were even jealous.Samantha turned around and looked toward the crowd. She knew that she was the main character of the day and everyone was there to see her. She did not know why, but tears started rolling down her cheeks. She was crying. Adrian, who was standing next to her

No matter how dumb they were, it was evident what was happening.That was why Adrian said he could get an invite from the legate because he was legate!The Cowells lost their minds. They all did.They stood up and looked at the couple.Hugo said, “Samantha, here! This way! It’s me, your Uncle Hugo!”“Sam, look over here!” Francis waved at her too.Never would they imagine that Adrian was the legate. If they had known, they would not have treated him the way they did.Violet picked up her cane and waved it at Adrian too. “Adrian, Samantha, it’s your grandmother. I’m over here.”The Cowells seemed to have forgotten how they treated Samantha before this and all they wanted to do was to get close to her.However, the couple ignored them.“Mother, we need to speak to Adrian!” Hugo said excitedly.Violet nodded.When the Cowells were going to leave their seats and walk over, they were blocked by the crew members.***Meanwhile, on the Xanders's side.Harold shook. “My grandson

“What?”Samantha’s declaration surprised Adrian.He had done all that to show her that she would always be happy from now on. He was not expecting her to ask for a divorce.“Why, Sam?” he asked.She rubbed her eyes and turned around so he would not see her face.Sensing the atmosphere in the car, Samantha calmed herself down. “I thought about it at the venue. You’re the legate. I’m not good enough for you. You can find someone a thousand times better.”Samantha never expected to suddenly rise in status overnight. She was just a normal woman. How was she to deal with her husband’s sudden revelation of his identity?She did not want any of this. All she wanted was for Adrian to go to work and get home on time every day. That was all.She also thought that she was not good enough for him now. If she stayed with him, she would only hold him back.After hearing this, Adrian sighed. Samantha was not a greedy woman so she might not be able to accept who he was.“I’m sorry for being
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 23
Daniel, who was listening in, had mixed feelings.The war legate, a war god on the battlefield, was a gentleman at home.It was very rare for such a thing to happen—being tough when it involved the country’s safety, but soft and loving toward his wife.Daniel spoke again. “Another thing, Ms. Samantha. Since the legate’s identity is top secret and might attract assassins, we’ll be announcing to the public tonight that you were just body doubles to ensure your safety.”“That is important. Otherwise, my husband and I might be assassinated.” Samantha understood.Daniel nodded. “But as a reward, Battle Warrior Lucas has arranged for the House of Bailar to have a spot at Swallow Central.”Samantha was nervous when she heard this, but she was also excited. “General, my company is facing potential bankruptcy. Are you really going to give me a chance?”“I’m certain you’ll be able to save your company as long as you put in the effort. This is the reward for taking a risk and pretending to

“Grandmother, what brings you here?”Samantha immediately stood up when she saw Violet enter.Other than Violet, Nathan, Hugo, and a few others from the family were there too, and they were excited.Violet spoke, “Samantha, do you still hate me? It’s all my fault, I shouldn’t have treated you the way I did.”Violet started with an apology, but it felt odd to Samantha, but she suddenly understood what was going on. It was because Violet thought she was the legate’s wife. Violet and the rest did not know the truth yet.“Samantha, we're all sorry. Please forgive us.” Nathan looked at her and was visibly agitated.Hugo spoke up too, “Yes, Samantha. I never would’ve guessed that Adrian was the legate and that you’re the legate’s wife. Please don’t hold a grudge.”The Cowells knew that they had treated Samantha badly. To seem sincere, Violet spoke again, “Samantha, I’ve decided to let you take over the Cowell Group. I won’t be worried if Adrian is helping you.”She then looked toward

The Cowells’ true colors were showing.Samantha’s heart ached when she saw Violet’s change in attitude. She lowered her head because she was once again disappointed by her grandmother.Adaline could not stand seeing this and said, “Old hag, who was trying to trick you? My brother was just trying to make some money. We didn’t do it for you. Aren’t you ashamed of saying such things?”“Be quiet, Ada…” Rue quickly held her daughter back because of how rude she was.Samantha covered her mouth. She looked at Violet in disappointment. “Grandmother, Adrian didn’t lie to you. General Summers agreed to pay him a fee. Ada needs money for her tuition, so—”“Enough. What does Ada’s tuition have anything to do with me?” Violet cut her off. “I’m giving you three days to return Bailar to us, or we’ll see you in court.”She just said she would allow Samantha to take over the Cowell Group, and she instantly changed her mind.It was hard to cover one’s true intentions.After hearing this, Samanth
