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

“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

Stella and the other women covered their mouths as they laughed, feeling extremely envious of Adaline. However, it was apparent that Stella organized today’s event so she could introduce Harry to Adaline.Because Harry had taken an interest in Adaline, Kevan and Stella decided to set them up.Next, the group introduced themselves while exchanging pleasantries with Harry.It did not take long before the dishes were served. Everyone began tucking in. They began drinking and toasting each other across the table. Some were continuously toasting Harry in an attempt to curry favor with him.After the group had been drinking for a while, Harry held up his glass to Adaline and said, “Ada, we’re destined to meet each other. I fell for you deeply at first glance. Come. Here’s a toast from me to you.”“Whoa, you’re so graceful, Harry. Ada, you’ve struck gold this time!” said a woman in envy.“Ada is good-looking, and Harry is even more so. You guys will make a great-looking couple!”Stella

Adaline tilted back her head in preparation to drink.Suddenly, Adrian snatched the glass from her and said, “Don’t drink if you don’t want to. No one here can force you to drink without your consent.”Adaline was instantly panic-stricken as Adrian poured the contents of the glass onto the floor.The people at the scene were astounded. They had not expected Adaline’s deadbeat brother to pour away Harry’s drink.On the other side of the table, Harry was clearly infuriated upon witnessing this scene. He pointed at Adrian and asked Kevan, “Kev, who’s this?”Kevan scoffed. “He’s Ada’s elder brother and also Samantha Cowell’s husband. He’s the guy who pretended to be a big shot in the city yesterday.”“Hey, deadbeat. That was really bold of you. How dare you pour away Harry’s drink!”“F*ck you! Bow down and apologize to Harry right now! Otherwise, you won’t be spared!” Stella knew that Kevan and Harry were good friends so she angrily reprimanded Adrian on behalf of Harry.Adaline al

Adaline was at a loss and did not know what to do.She anxiously said, “My brother doesn’t know his place, Harry. Please don’t lower yourself to his level. Here, I’ll agree to be your girlfriend!”Harry's ego blew up upon hearing Adaline’s offer. The more fearful she was, the more it signified that Adrian was a deadbeat. He decided to show due respect to Adaline after she had expressed hers.Harry waved dismissively. “That won’t do. I won’t consider anyone’s feelings in this matter. Not even yours, Ada. I insist on teaching him a lesson today.”Harry stood up and walked toward Adrian.“Great, I agree. Before anything else, let’s give this peasant a good beating,” Stella cheered.The group chimed in, “We support you, Harry!”Harry smiled. He was the star of today. Everyone’s focus was on him. He would be humiliated if he allowed this peasant to disrespect him.“Please, Harry!” Adaline tried to stand in Harry’s way to stop him from hitting Adrian.“Come here, Ada!” Stella pulled
