“Agreed!”***Something very strange happened in Swallowston over the next two days.Harold called for a board meeting at the Xander Group. He announced his retirement and that Leonard, his eldest son, would become the next director, while Wilfred would handle all matters related to Paraiso.The board of directors objected to Harold’s decision, but that was when something strange happened.Jaden from the River family pumped in another seven million and three hundred thousand dollars into the Xander Group, buying out the majority of the shares and kicking out almost everyone on the board.Shortly after, Jaden came to hold forty-nine percent share within just two days, owning only two percent less than Leonard.A lot of people unrelated to the company were shocked when they heard this, believing that the Xander Group would be taken over by the River Group very soon.Two days later, as Samantha and Adrian were having breakfast, Samantha learned about what was happening at the Xand

Adrian left home after that.Samantha was originally planning on stopping him but decided against it in the end.‘Ever since he came home, he seems very confident in himself every time he says he’s going to do something…’***Meanwhile, Riley happened to run into Adrian, the latter having just left the neighborhood.She stopped her car and rolled down her window. “Where are you going, Adrian?”Seeing Riley, Adrian walked toward her car and said, “I’m just about to head over to Paraiso. What are you doing here?”“I was just about to go looking for you.”Adrian gestured and Riley nodded before they left the neighborhood together.Inside the car, Riley said as she drove, “Do you know that both Paraiso and the Xander Group have been handed over to my father and Uncle Wilfred?”Adrian nodded his head. “I do.”Riley continued, “Jaden has booted all of the company’s investors, turning himself into the second largest investor. You know what he’s aiming for, don’t you?”Jaden wanted

“Sigh…” Jack heaved a sigh and shook his head helplessly.A few employees walked over to Jack’s side, surrounding Riley.“What’s going on, Ms. Riley? We’ve worked here for so many years. I’m sure our work ethics are unquestionable.”“Yet, something’s wrong with Leonard today! He fired all of us!”“We’re going to have to look for new jobs.”A few employees began complaining to Riley, who could only heave a sigh as she turned to look at Adrian.“Aren’t you Henry’s son?” Jack hurriedly said when he recognized Adrian.“Let me introduce you, Adrian. This is Jack Creek, a senior employee of Paraiso. He’s been working here since he was in his twenties, and that was twenty years ago. He was really close to your father too,” Riley said.“Hello, Uncle Jack.” Adrian stretched out his hand toward Jack.After Jack shook Adrian’s hand, he said, “Paraiso’s been on a really steep downhill trend. I can’t even remember when was the last time it was as glorious as it was back when Mr. Henry was

After a brief moment, the employee, with Jack in the lead, suddenly surrounded Adrian in excitement.“I’m willing to join New Paraiso, Adrian. Let’s restore Paraiso’s former glory together!”“Me too, Adrian!”“I’d like to go too if you don’t mind.”Everyone began to voice their decision.They had a dream, and Paraiso was it.Many of them believed that a day would come when Paraiso would be restored to its former glory, and this turning point seemed to have arrived.After all, Adrian, Henry’s son, had returned.“What should we do, Adrian? How can we help?” Jack spoke up when he saw so many of them agreeing to join New Paraiso.Riley was touched when she saw this scene.‘Henry may be dead, but he left so much behind. These people are fiercely loyal to him, making them a part of his legacy.’Adrian said, “I need you to take everyone to New Paraiso and report in for duty, Uncle Jack. Samantha, my wife, will arrange jobs for you all. If we work together, I promise you it won’t be

“You’re not welcomed here, Adrian,” Leonard and Wilfred said.Ignoring them, Adrian pulled out a chair and sat down, while Riley stood quietly by his side.After sitting down, Adrian picked up a copy of the documents before him and looked through them. ‘These must be Paraiso’s latest operation plans.’Seeing this, Wilfred and Leonard exchanged looks, confused as to what Adrian was planning to do.Meanwhile, Jaden rested against his chair and was all smiles. He was actually curious about what Adrian planned to do.At that moment, Leonard asked, “Why have you brought him here, Riley? Get him out of here this instant!”Riley replied, “You’ve become the most powerful shareholder ever since you obtained all of Paraiso’s shares from Grandfather. Do you still not see what’s happening here?”“What are you trying to say, Riley?” Leonard asked in a furious tone.Riley chose to remain silent, knowing that Leonard would not listen to a word she said at that moment. After all, both Wilfred

Leonard became enraged when he saw how adamant Riley was.He became so infuriated with his daughter that he desperately wanted to walk up to her and give her a slap.However, before he could act on his thoughts, Adrian finished reading the documents before him and raised his head. Looking at Jaden, he said, “You’re Jaden Rivers, correct? Answer me this. What kind of status do you think the Rivers hold in Southrive at the moment?”Adrian put down the documents and prepared himself for a major discussion with Jaden.Not expecting Adrian to ask such a thing, Jaden laughed and said, “Is that even a valid question? The Rivers are the most powerful family in Southrive right now. My grandfather can not only bring about huge changes to the place, but he can even cause its economy to tremble with a single word.“The Rivers are considered to be a large family, with my relatives spread across all of Southrive. All it would take is a single order and we can instantly become the face of Southr

Jaden sneered and continued, “If you ask me, I’m afraid I’ll end up killing your entire family if you fail to kill me. I’ve been hoping to get my hands on both your wife and your little sister for a really long time.”Surprisingly, Adrian was not enraged when he heard this. Riley, on the other hand, was so infuriated that she desperately hoped to kill Jaden right where he was. Yet, Adrian stayed so calm that others seemed to have ignored his presence.‘How could he be so calm after hearing all that?’ Riley wondered.Riley chose not to say anything since Adrian did not seem the least bit angry. She wanted to see what Adrian was going to do next.“Didn’t you say you were going to kill me, b*stard? What’s stopping you?” Jaden asked once more when he saw Adrian remain silent.Once again, Adrian refused to answer his question. Instead, he turned to look at Riley. “What time is it?”Riley took a look at her watch and replied, “It’s almost eleven.”Hearing this, Adrian went back to bei

Hydra needed to live like an ordinary citizen if he wanted to execute his grand scheme in Swallowston, and Paraiso was to be his base of operations.Hence, Jaden’s plan was to help Hydra secure a foothold within Swallowston.If Hydra had a company here, he would be able to become a legal citizen of Swallowston instead of having to live in hiding.Everyone inside the boardroom could sense Hydra’s extraordinary presence when he walked in.He exuded the temperament of a powerful veteran—a fearless one for that matter.Even Riley could not stop herself from taking a few steps back at the sight of this ferocious man.***“War Legate Hydra…”Jaden smiled and turned around, introducing the people within. “This is Leonard and Wilfred from the Xander family. A minor mishap has happened here today… Adrian, the son of this company’s late owner, is here.“But don’t worry, sir. I’ll handle this!”‘War Legate Hydra?’ Leonard and WIlfred were both confused when they heard this.“Who is thi
