Adrian made no further comment after he was done briefing them.Mya recognized Suzy and Shiloh’s fighting skills, and it was Adrian's first time showing such meticulous care to Adaline.And the whole time, Adaline was at a loss for words.***Adrian assigned Suzy and Shiloh to stay while Mya made arrangements for other affairs.Adrian found Samantha sitting on a bench on the field.Noticing Adrian’s arrival, she stood up and said, “What did you say to Ada? Why won’t you let me listen?”Adrian smiled and answered, “If you were there, she’d feel like you’re on her side. Hence, I sent you away so I could reprimand her properly.”Samantha did not comment further because she knew that Adrian did it because he cared for Adaline.They then left Swallowston University.Upon arriving home, they found Rue growing restless.She hastily ran to them when she spotted them. “Adrian, Sam, how’s everything? Is Ada okay?”“Don’t worry, Mother. It’s been dealt with,” said Adrian while nodding

Something happened at Xander Manor this afternoon that excited all the Xanders.Harold was sitting at home when Leonard walked into the house in excitement. “Father, the heir of Southrive’s River family, Jaden, is here in Swallowston. I’ve invited him to our home.”Harold immediately raised his head upon hearing that. “Are you serious, Leonard? You managed to invite Jaden to our home?”Harold was beyond excited.The River family was listed as the most influential family in Southrive.Back in those years, Harold and the patriarch of the Rivers had been acquaintances. Afterward, the Rivers grew more powerful and Harold failed to keep in touch with him because Harold was beneath their level.He had not expected Leonard would successfully invite Jaden to their home.Meanwhile, the Xanders rushed into the house as Wilfred announced, “Father, Mr. Jaden is here!”A young man wearing a suit walked into the house.Noticing the situation, Harold hastily stood up and said, “You’re here,

Jaden had yet to state his stand clearly when Harold eagerly expressed his willingness to collaborate.The other Xanders chimed in.Leonard said, “Mr. Jaden, you should invest in the Xander Group. We’ll devote our full efforts to helping you stabilize your influence in Swallowston.”Wilfred said, “That’s right, Mr. Jaden. The Xander Group is the wisest choice.”The rest of the Xanders talked all at once.Jaden pretended as if he was troubled for a moment, then said, “Do you really want me to invest in the Xander Group, Mr. Harold?”“Jaden, your grandfather and I are old acquaintances. You’re here to expand your company in Swallowston so I want to help you out of respect for him,” said Harold nonchalantly.Jaden fell silent for a long while upon hearing that. Then, he nodded heavily and said, “All right then, if you say so. If you insist, I will obey and invest in the Xander Group.“Starting today, the Rivers shall lead the Xander Group to become the largest enterprise in Swallo

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

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
