The Return of the War Legate Chapter 357
When Adrian arrived back at One Jewel Road with Samantha and Joanna, they immediately saw there were many people inside.Francis, Clara, Nathan, and Hugo were there. In fact, even Tracy and Wendy, Nathan and Hugo’s wives respectively, were present, cooking something in the kitchen.They seemed to be enjoying themselves in the villa, with Francis, Hugo, and Nathan leisurely helping themselves to Adrian’s red wine.On the other hand, Rue seemed like a complete stranger, standing by the side, not knowing what she should do.“Grandmother, what’s all this?!” Samantha became furious when she saw how her villa had turned into the Cowells’ villa. Violet squinted her eyes when she saw that Samantha and Adrian had returned. “Your uncles were afraid you wouldn’t be able to take care of me properly, so they’re both here to help you. Now, you can worry less.“Or is there something you’d like to say about that?” Violet pressured.Samantha was so furious that she burst into tears and yelled,

Samantha sounded rather ferocious as she said, “I don’t care. None of you are going up there even if you want to. That’s a dating place for Adrian and me. I won’t let any of you sully it.”Clara sneered when she heard this. “A dating place? What a shameless woman you are, Samantha. None of us will ever want to go to a place as filthy as that anyway. Not when you’re spending your time there.”Samantha took a deep breath, forcing down her anger. She let off a cold snicker and said, “We both know who the filthy person really is, Clara. No matter how filthy I am, I’ve remained loyal to my husband. You, on the other hand, insulted Simon’s kindness with such a heinous act… Are you even ashamed of yourself in the slightest?”Clara’s heart dropped the moment Samantha brought Simon up, not daring to retaliate on that particular topic.Adrian immediately pulled Samantha aside, thinking that she would be ruining her own image by arguing with Clara.Then, he said, “Enjoy your meal. There’s st

Everyone was instantly dumbfounded, feeling as though their entire lives had been turned upside down.Nathan and Hugo were still enjoying their drink when gun muzzles were suddenly pressed against their heads, leaving them stupefied.They immediately got down on their knees with their hands in the air. “Please, sir! We haven’t done anything wrong to deserve this! So why are we being held at gunpoint?!”The others were also in shock, with Violet almost falling off of the sofa at the sight of the guns.Francis was the biggest laughingstock amongst the rest of them—wetting his pants the moment a gun was aimed at him. Trembling in fear, he looked at the men and burst into tears. “Please, sir! I’m a law-abiding citizen!”‘Why the hell is this happening all of a sudden?! We were just enjoying a meal together!’Clara, on the other hand, had turned white.Tracy and Wendy were already on their knees with their hands behind their heads.‘What’s going on?‘What’s all this?!’“What’s goi

Clara was the only one who behaved rather abnormally as she hurriedly defended herself. “Simon’s dead? What has that got to do with me? We aren’t even related.”Thus, began Clara’s defense.If she was truly unaware of Simon’s death, her first reaction to the news should be shock. Yet, that was not the case, which meant she was most likely aware of it beforehand.And now, she was trying to talk her way out of the matter, which would cause one to suspect whether she was indeed the culprit.“Judging by your tone, it seems you knew he was dead a long time ago. Am I right, Clara?” Adrian asked once more, causing the color to drain from Clara’s face.Suddenly, she seemed to have realized something and hurriedly said, “No, I didn’t. I only found out he’s dead when you told me. But what does his death have to do with me? I didn’t kill him!”Adrian had gone through many experiences so he was easily able to tell something was wrong with Clara based on her expression.‘She may seem calm an

The Cowells panicked when they heard this.‘Clara’s the one in trouble right now. Not the whole family.’At that thought, Francis was the first to speak up. “I’ve been a little busy recently, sir. I’ve got no idea what my cousin’s been doing so I’d like to retract my statement. I have no idea where Clara was at the time.”Hugo followed suit and said, “Me too! I’ve been busy with work so I wasn’t paying attention to her whereabouts.”Nathan was instantly enraged when he heard this. ‘They’re abandoning Clara like cowards now?! Does family mean so little to them?!’Honestly, was there a single Cowell who actually cared about each other? Were they all not just looking out for themselves?Clara’s world started falling apart when she saw Francis and Hugo backing out from being her alibi.In fact, even Violet joined in and said, “I haven’t been paying attention to where Clara has been. However, we’ll be sure to assist with your investigation.”“Grandmother…” Clara had not expected Vio

Clara was already laying limp against the sofa. Only stutters were coming out from her lips at this point.All the Cowells were stunned when they saw this. ‘She might actually be involved in Simon’s death!’The technicians continued to recover more data from Clara’s phone, only handing it over for Adrian to go through when they were done.Adrian looked through the recovered data for a while before looking up at Clara. “You’ve also been to a cafe, it seems.“You there. Take your men with you to that cafe and investigate the place.”Thus, Daniel once again ordered his men to move out.“You’ve also been in frequent contact with a man by the name of Seth De Forrest. There’s also a text message that you deleted from your phone where you asked how Simon’s body was dealt with.“Tell me…Why did you ask Seth how the body was dealt with?“Were you the one who killed Simon Black?”Feeling as though a bolt of lightning had struck her, Clara trembled and fell onto her knees, bawling her ey

All the Cowells trembled and fell into a daze when they heard Adrian’s command.Clara, who seemed as though she was about to pass out, suddenly came back to her senses and cried once more.“Please, sir! Please!” she yelled with her tear-filled face.As the saying goes, those who seem pitiful probably did something to deserve it.‘She looks absolutely nothing like the hateful woman she is while doing all those things in the past…’ Adrian took a deep breath. ‘I’ve seen too many cases like hers. Unfortunately, one must pay the price for their actions.’Meanwhile, Nathan and Tracy were on their feet, begging on Clara’s behalf. The latter had turned mad from despair.At that very moment, Adrian suddenly removed his mask and revealed his chiseled face. A look of recognition instantly flashed through the eyes of every Cowell present.Violet’s jaw was the first to drop as her mind buzzed. She stared at Adrian in a daze.Nathan’s mouth was wide open as well. ‘That face… That face… I-It’

Helplessness.They were all being taught a very harsh lesson at this moment. None of them would ever forget this for the rest of their lives.“Clara, I hope you’ll learn to behave like a decent human and not look down upon others in your next life. There are just too many things that you still don’t understand about this world,” Adrian suddenly said to Clara, whose face was soaked with tears.She looked at Adrian while on her knees, crying as she said, “I’m sorry, Adrian. I truly am sorry… Please… Please spare my life! I don’t want to die! I don’t want to die!”Adrian squatted and reached out to wipe her tears. “You’ll never be able to wipe away your actions, nor will you ever be able to take back what you said. So, stop behaving like this and choose to be a better person in your next life.”“I don’t want to die, Adrian…”“I know you don’t want to die but you deserve what’s coming. You’ve killed another person so you should pay for your sins with your own death. Otherwise, Danton
