The Return of the War Legate Chapter 349
A sense of gloom invaded the atmosphere.Samantha never once thought that she had another friend in the world whom she had never met and that she would never be able to catch up to everything Gloria had done for Adrian.They then lost all mood to enjoy their beers, probably because of how tragically Gloria went out.Samantha seemed to be in turmoil but nobody knew what she was thinking.Even Joanna, who was usually a huge talker, remained silent.How many people would actually be able to fathom that the decent lives they were living at that moment were due to the sacrifice of others?***The dinner ended in silence.Joanna was initially planning on getting dead drunk that night but ended up leaving without even finishing her beer.The trio then returned to their villa at Jewel Road, where Rue and Juno were already asleep. Joanna took a bath and then retired to her room while Adrian and Samantha returned to theirs.Adrian lay in bed and played a game on his phone while Samanth

Adrian replied, “I did think about going to the afterlife to accompany her, but as I said, there are many things in the world that I’m unable to change. I still had all of you waiting for me back home, which is why I was ultimately able to cast away those thoughts.”“Do you still miss her?” Samantha asked in a gentle voice.“Sometimes.” Adrian nodded.Seeming to have suddenly thought of something, Samantha left Adrian’s embrace and asked, “Do you have a photo of her? I’d like to see it.”Adrian pondered for a moment before nodding once more. He then took out his bag from the closet. It was the very same bag that he had with him when he returned from Wyvern Peak. He had never opened it ever since he returned.Samantha knew about the bag’s existence but she did not dare open it up without Adrian’s permission.He placed the bag on the bed and pulled open the zip before pulling out a makeup box from within and passing it to Samantha.“This was her favorite makeup box,” Adrian said.

Samantha felt that she needed to change from that day onward.She needed to be even more grateful for the life she had obtained after so much hardship.The couple proceeded to spend the rest of their night in silence.The next morning, Samantha and Adrian woke up early, with Samantha preparing to head to the office with Joanna now that she had a clear objective in mind.However, just as all three of them were about to leave the house after having breakfast together, a few cars sped toward their villa and came to a stop right outside. When the car doors opened, Violet, along with Francis, Hugo, and Nathan got out of the car.Judging by the situation, they were most likely there to look for Samantha.Clara was following them from behind, her face filled with a huge smile. When she got home yesterday, she told Violet about how Samantha was now living in a villa at Jewel Road.Violet had been hoping to live at Jewel Road for the longest time so she was surprised when she found out t

“Shut up, Adrian! This has nothing to do with you, you deadbeat!”Violet slammed her cane on the floor as she yelled.Adrian chose not to waste his time with the old woman out of respect for her seniority.Samantha then said, “I’m in a rush to get to the office, Grandmother. If it isn’t anything urgent, I’ll come and visit you when I get off work later.”Violet became furious. “Are you trying to chase me away?!”Samantha did not mean to do such a thing, but what could she possibly do if Violet was trying to pick a bone with her?“That’s not what I’m trying to do, Grandmother. I really have urgent matters to attend to at the office today so whatever it is you need from me, please just say it.”“Preposterous! Is that any way to speak to your grandmother?!”Samantha felt helpless, understanding that there was nothing she could do to Violet since the woman was her grandmother. Violet could do literally anything to her but she could not do the same in return.Just as Samantha had n

The truth was that Clara had told Violet yesterday that Samantha was living at One Jewel Road so the Cowells came up with a plan to move into the villa, kick Samantha out of the place, and turn it into their own.Their plan was to use Violet having to be sent to an elderly home as an excuse to rope Samantha in. They would then make Samantha accept Violet into her villa and get her to take care of Violet for a year.Shortly after that, Francis was to move into the place on the pretense he wanted to take care of Violet too, quickly followed by Nathan, Hugo, and the rest. Ultimately, all the Cowells would move into the villa and come up with a way to kick both Samantha and Adrian out of the place.This was why they had come today.***The Cowells grew red in the face when Joanna saw through their plans so easily. Still, that did not stop them from executing their plans and setting them in motion.Violet said, “I’m old, Samantha. I can’t walk as well as I used to so you and everyone

At the end of the day, Violet was Samantha’s grandmother, so she had no choice but to remain filial to Violet despite how unreasonable the old woman was being.After an entire day’s worth of hard work, Violet finally emptied out her old house and moved everything—even piles of junk—into One Jewel Road.Meanwhile, Rue helped clear out a room for Violet, who no doubt had a few words of insults to hurl at Rue for not clearing the room to her standards. Helplessly, Rue accepted all of the insults she received without a single word of complaint.It was not until five in the afternoon that Samantha and Adrian were done helping Violet move in.At that moment, Violet was thoroughly enjoying herself—sitting on the sofa as she ate a platter of fruits. To make matters worse, Samantha received a call from Joanna before she was even able to catch a break.“Are you done, Sam? You have to hurry to the office. Something major happened.”“Okay, I’ll be right there.”Samantha hurriedly put down h

Together with Adrian and Joanna, Samantha rushed all the way to the Black manor with a heavy heart.Simon’s death dealt a huge blow to Danton, which also indirectly affected his entire company.Simon’s death was no small matter to the Paraiso Group.On the way there, Joanna asked, “Do you know who the culprit is, Adrian? Who do you think is the prime suspect? Don’t you think it’s Seth and Clara?”Adrian pondered for a moment before he replied, “I can’t say for sure, but you’re right. Seth and Clara are indeed prime suspects since Simon and Clara were in a relationship.”“Who would possibly kill another person so mercilessly? Simon was a perfectly fine man, yet he’s now gone,” Samantha lamented.There have been many cases similar to this throughout history. Some of them ended up being cold cases.***The trio arrived at the Black manor in Swallowston three hours later. There were many cars parked outside, a number of them belonging to companies in good relationship with Danton’s

After taking a look at the crowd, Daniel said, “Mr. Danton, the department is doing everything they can to investigate the murder of your son. Including the legate himself. We’ll be sure to find out who the murderer is and bring them to justice to avenge your son.“I’ve come here today to tell you all that the dead can never be resurrected so you must all stand strong and not fall at this moment.“The department shall be your strongest shield!”Daniel thumped his chest as he spoke.Danton then said, “I can’t take this… My son’s dead… I may have to take a step back for some time to sort out my emotions but I’m truly grateful for everything the department has done for me and my company over the years, General.”Daniel patted Danton’s shoulder before walking to the living room. Facing the crowd, he said, “Everyone, very few cases as brutal as this has happened ever since Battle Warrior Lucas took over. None of us could’ve ever expected such a tragedy to happen.“If any of you have a
