The Return of the War Legate Chapter 21
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

“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
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 28
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
