The Return of the War Legate Chapter 25
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

“Seven hundred and fifty thousand? Where are you going to get that kind of money, Adrian?” Closing the door after Violet left, Rue looked anxious.Since Henry’s passing and the Xanders taking Paraiso away, she had never seen seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars.“Don’t worry, I’ll find a way,” Adrian consoled her.“Find a way? Adrian, are you going to let her sue you? Do you think it’s easy to get that much money? She's a greedy old hag. Even if you give her the money, she might change her mind again.” Adaline was anxious too, but it slowly turned into anger.Adrian turned to Samantha, who sat on the couch with her head hung low and not speaking.Rue said, “What do you think, Sam?”“Maybe Adrian is right,” Samantha said.Adaline and Rue were surprised.She continued. “We’ll consider this seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars as a repayment and then cut them off. Bailar would be mine and mine alone from then on.”“But where are we going to get the money from?” Rue was ne

Adrian waited for some time outside.A black Mercedes Benz MPV rolled up and stopped in front of him. Then, a few middle-aged men got out with two briefcases.“Sir, here are the seven hundred and fifty thousand you asked for in cash,” one of the men said as they handed over the briefcases.“Thank you,” Adrian replied.The men nodded, got into the car, and left. Adrian then turned around and made his way home.Rue had made breakfast, but since Adrian was not around, she ate with Adaline and Samantha first. The three of them were troubled.Rue sighed. “Sam, did you manage to borrow money from your friend?”Samantha shook her head and said sadly, “I didn’t. Joanna didn’t pick up.”Joanna was Samantha’s best friend and co-founded The House of Bailar with Samantha. She left the country with her family years ago, and Samantha has been running the company ever since.After hearing this, Rue felt helpless, and Adaline did not know what to say.At that moment, Adrian walked in carryin

At that moment, Violet was sitting in the living room, chairing a family meeting.When the Cowells learned that Adrian was not the legate and heard his offer to repay what Samantha previously loaned, they were all smiles.Clara said, “Adrian is just a useless man who’s really good at lying. He’s going to pay back seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars? Where’s he going to get the money from?”“Exactly. Is he going to go around begging for it, or is he going to sell Samantha?” Francis chuckled.Violet, not wanting to add to the ridicule, simply said, “As long as he keeps his word. If he doesn’t, I won’t let this go.”Clara smirked. “Grandmother, are you going to believe that piece of trash? If he can get the money, pigs will fly.”“Exactly. If Adrian procures the money, I’ll kneel to him. I’m waiting for him to prove me wrong.” Francis smirked too.The other Cowells agreed. To them, Adrian producing seven hundred and fifty thousand was far more impossible than him sprouting win

“Samantha, where did you get this money from?” Violet was nervous.The Cowell Group was only worth about a million dollars in market value. She had never seen that much money since Samantha’s grandfather passed away.Samantha replied, “You don’t need to know that, Grandmother. Count it. After that, we’re clear of debt.”“Hugo, count it,” Violet ordered.Hugo quickly walked over and asked a few people to join him. They all looked as if they had lost their mind as they grabbed a bunch of notes and started counting. When done, the amount came to exactly seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars.Everyone sucked in a breath through their teeth.“Mother, it’s exactly seven hundred and fifty thousand. No more, no less,” Hugo reported.“What?” Violet was nervous.Adrian spoke up, “Someone said they were going to get on their knees, and now is the time. Otherwise, your grandmother will die.”Francis’ legs shook because he never imagined that Adrian would be able to get his hands on so

Adrian nodded and got into the car with Samantha.He was about to head to Bailar with her, but then Rue called and said something. Samantha nodded and said, “Okay, Mother. I’ll have Adrian head over.”“What’s going on, Sam?” Adrian asked after hearing what she said.After she hung up, she replied, “Ada is meeting up with her friends, but Mother is worried. She’s asking you to keep an eye on her and ensure Ada doesn’t get drunk. Hurry.”She patted his shoulder.Adaline was going to attend university soon, so it was normal for her to attend gatherings.Rue called because she was worried that some creeps would get Adaline drunk and proceed with their heinous plans. She was worried about Adaline, so she called Samantha and asked Adrian to watch her.“Why would I go to her gathering? Mother shouldn’t worry.” Adrian did not overthink it because he felt normal to meet up with friends.“It’s not as simple as that,” Samantha said, “There are men with loose morals in this city, and since

“I can’t be bothered with you.” Adaline stamped her foot in anger.Meanwhile, some voices were heard. “Hmm? Ada, isn’t this your deadbeat brother? Isn’t he the guy who disguised as legate in the city yesterday?”“Yikes, it really is him. What brings him here?”“Ada, why did you let your brother tag along?”A few women said to Adaline in succession after walking out of the cosmetics shop next to her.In these people’s opinion, it was absolutely embarrassing for Adrian to disguise himself as the legate because he was still a deadbeat no matter how hard he tried to pass off as legate.Adaline’s expression turned extremely unpleasant. These were her friends and they were all heiresses of influential families in Southrive.She was utterly humiliated by Adrian’s presence.Adaline said, “I didn’t allow him to tag along. He’s the one who insisted on coming with me.”The women burst out laughing.Meanwhile, a woman named Stella York made her way to Adrian and said, “That’s so shameles

“Come here and squeeze in with me!”Noticing that there was no space left in the car, Adaline squeezed herself inward.“The car is overloaded, Ada. He won’t fit,” said Stella.“She’s right. It’s packed in here. Let’s not bring along the deadbeat, shall we?” said one of the women.Adaline pursed her lips. In truth, she felt upset to hear her friends criticizing Adrian in this manner. However, she could not chastise them because her status was inferior to theirs.The driver, Kevan, said to Adrian, “You aren’t going to fit. Sorry, but we have to leave you behind.”“It’s fine, I’ll walk. Which hotel are you going to?” said Adrian.“Hahaha!” Kevan and the others burst out laughing. “Sure, you can walk then. I’d like to see which is faster—your legs or my car! See you at Swallowston Hotel!”Kevan started the engine.Adaline suddenly tossed fifteen dollars from the window just as the car sped off. “Get yourself a cab and go home! Don’t come! They’re going to make you the laughing sto
