Adrian smiled at Samantha and asked after everything was over.He reached out to caress Samantha’s face, but she suddenly took a few steps back until her back was against the wall. Her eyes were filled with fear. She trembled as she stared at Adrian.“What’s the matter, Sam?” Adrian asked in confusion.Samantha bit her lips. She could not explain why, but she knew that she was terrified of Adrian. In fact, she could not even look him in the eye.Adrian instantly understood what was happening when he saw this. Hence, he took a deep breath and dispelled all of his negative emotions.It was only then Samantha was able to calm herself, no longer feeling as terrified as before.Indeed, she had suffered quite the fright today.Adrian said, “I’m sorry for scaring you, Sam. Everything’s okay now.”Samantha was finally able to pluck up her courage to look at Adrian when she realized that he had returned to normal. She then leaped into his embrace, wrapping her arms around his neck.“Yo

Without a doubt, Nine Kings had already decided that Bailar was going to receive the contract, proving Liam’s efficiency.It was because of this that Adrian no longer felt the need to lash out at him. He nodded and said, “I want you to handle all dealings Bailar has with Nine Kings. Make sure nothing goes wrong.”“Understood, Mr. Adrian.”Adrian left Liam’s office, after which the latter fell limp into his sofa and breathed out a long sigh. His secretary walked in and asked, “You seem really frightened of him, Mr. Liam. Why is that?”Liam’s secretary was called June Lawson, and she had been working with him for a long time.Liam was a man with a certain amount of pull within Swallowston, even going so far as being able to single-handedly bring changes to Swallowston. Yet, this very same man had shown himself to be fearful of a young man.Hearing this question, Liam said, “There’s much you still have to learn. Swallowston is no longer the same as it used to be. We may have been th

“How does twelve million dollars sound? Is that enough for you?” Jenson asked.“Twelve million dollars?” Samantha’s eyes opened wide.‘That’s too much! I haven’t done anything to deserve this amount!’ she thought.Jenson was taken aback when he heard Samantha’s response, thinking that the amount he proposed was not enough for her. Hence, he said, “In that case, let’s make it fifteen million. Is that all right with you?”“Fifteen million dollars? Umm…”Jenson was stunned once again. “Twenty-two million and three hundred thousand then That’s the best we can offer you. In fact, Vine will only be left with four million and five hundred thousand.”“No, I’m sorry. That’s not it.” Samantha shook her head repeatedly, shocked senseless from their interaction.‘There’s no way Bailar will be able to take on a contract worth over twenty-two million dollars!’“You’ve misunderstood me, Mr. Jenson. What I meant to say was that your offer is too much for my company to handle.”“Too much?” Jen

To Samantha, this was the success she needed to change Bailar for the better.She had successfully secured a contract with Swallow Central for four million and five hundred thousand dollars and won a contract with Nine Kings. So, of course, she was over the moon.Adrian smiled and stroked Samantha’s hair. “Congratulations.”Samantha wiped away her tears and looked upwards to calm herself. Then, she held Adrian’s hand and said, “Okay, let’s go.”Adrian nodded.***The couple left Nine Kings and headed back to Bailar, with Samantha taking the wheel.On the way, she began thinking about everything that had just happened. She had not expected Nine Kings to be so gracious as to accept Bailar, to which she was left feeling that something was amiss.“Adrian, I’ve been curious about something, but I’m not sure if you’ve realized it.”“What is it?” Adrian asked.Samantha twirled her hair.“Aren’t you curious why Nine Kings would award me a contract? After all, there are so many other

Nathan frantically waved his hands and said, “Mother, I just heard the news myself. Have you guys seen Nine Kings’ recent post?“Samantha’s Bailar is going to settle down in Swallow Central. Plus, she’s managed to bag a contract with Nine Kings worth four million and five hundred thousand dollars!” Nathan said excitedly.“What?!” Violet was dumbfounded when she heard this, while all of the Cowells were too stunned to speak.‘Bailar will be in Swallow Central?’‘That’s impossible!’‘Not even we are eligible to do such a thing, so how did Samantha manage such a feat?’Hugo, Violet’s second eldest son, said, “Is this true, Nathan?”“Without a doubt. Check Nine Kings’ latest post. They’re promoting this piece of news right now!”A few of them took out their phones to verify this, to which they were all left stunned.Nine Kings had announced that their contracts for the three hundred million dollar project had been completely distributed, with Bailar being awarded four hundred and

The Cowells grew increasingly excited when Violet said this.None of them were able to hold back their greed.“Hahaha! The Cowells will soon become a huge and powerful family!” Francis said excitedly, “Heaven is on our side. Bailar will be part of Swallow Central, and the Cowells will grow to become a hugely reputable family!”To them, pride and ego were worthless notions at that point. In fact, they already assumed that Bailar was theirs to claim ownership of.They had completely forgotten about the agreement they made with Samantha when they accepted her seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars.***That night, Samantha and Adrian returned home after she was done with her tasks at Bailar.Rue had already prepared dinner and was waiting for the pair to return.“You’re home, Sam. Go wash your hands and let’s eat,” Rue hurriedly said.Despite being poor, Rue had never mistreated Samantha. Not even once.She would always make sure Samantha’s meals were nutritious to replenish h

“Okay!“Here. You should eat more.” Rue was excited and piled more food onto Samantha’s plate.The family was in the midst of dinner when a frantic knocking came from outside the door. Rue went to answer it. She furrowed her eyebrows at the sight of the people standing outside. “What brings you here?”“What is it? Judging by your tone, am I not allowed to visit my granddaughter?” said Violet in a slightly angry tone.“That’s right, that’s right. You’re being quite disrespectful. Isn’t it perfectly justifiable for my grandmother to visit Samantha?” Francis said angrily.Rue was not fond of these Cowells, and she had not expected them to come knocking on her door again tonight. But she felt it inappropriate to reject them so she said, “Please, come in.”Violet and the other Cowells marched into the house. Samantha stood up in astonishment when she saw Violet and hastily said, “Why are you here, Grandmother? Have you eaten? Come and join us for dinner!”Violet looked solemn and her

“What?”The Cowells were shocked upon hearing Adrian’s remark. Not even Violet had expected Adrian to agree so easily.On the other hand, tears instantly started streaming down Samantha’s face when she heard what Adrian said. She roared, “What nonsense are you saying, Adrian?! Bailar is mine! Why would I give it to them?!”“I’m your grandmother, Samantha! Do you not have any respect for me?!” said Violet angrily upon hearing Samantha’s words.“I…” Samantha was shaken. Violet was going back on her word. Moreover, she did it so shamelessly and her actions left Samantha feeling hopeless.Adrian simply smiled at Samantha and comforted her by saying, “Don’t worry, Sam. The Cowells are jealous of you and came to take back the company after finding out about your collaboration with Nine Kings and that it got a spot in Swallow Central. Since they want it, let them have it.”“Adrian, what nonsense are you on about?” said Samantha as she sobbed.Adrian paid no attention to Samantha. He lo
