The Return of the War Legate Chapter 407
Early the next morning, Samantha got ready to visit Chuck since it was the weekend.Just as they were about to depart after having breakfast, Adrian’s cell phone rang. It was Mya.“Sir, we’ve found Laurel Nolan. She’s living at Swallowston’s Urban Village.”Adrian heard this and quickly said, “Okay. Have a few men wait for me there. I’m on my way.”“Yes, sir.”When Adrian hung up the phone, Samantha asked, “What’s the matter?”“We’ve found Laurel. I’m off to go arrest her right now.”Joanna’s interest was piqued when she heard this and said, “Take us with you, Adrian. We want to see what she looks like.”Naturally, Adrian did not reject her request. “Sure, let’s go.”***Adrian first changed into his battle suit before heading to Urban Village with Samantha and Joanna.Urban Village was the most iconic area in Swallowston, known for its blue-collar worker residents. Most chose to live in Urban Village because the rental and living costs here were lower.Swallowston had alwa

At that moment, Adrian signaled for his men to proceed.Iron Hammer noticed this and immediately brought his men over to surround Laurel.When she saw the group of people suddenly surrounding her, Laurel was shocked and confused for a moment as she trembled.“Who are you people?” she asked, but nobody answered.When Adrian walked over, Samantha grabbed his hand and said, “Are you really going to arrest her, dear? By the looks of it, her baby can’t be more than a few months old. Can you really arrest her when her baby still needs to be fed?”Adrian hesitated for a moment but did not reply. Instead, he walked over and stood before Laurel.When Laurel saw Adrian in his black battle suit, she recalled the famous War Legate Draco that she had heard so much about recently. She trembled as she looked at Adrian in confusion.“Are you Laurel Nolan?”Laurel wiped her hands against her apron and said, “Y-Yes, that’s me. Who are you people?”“We’re here because of what happened to Chuck W

Iron Hammer cuffed Laurel and had two of his men escort her to their vehicle.Right at that moment, a man with a scruffy beard rushed over on his motorcycle, jumping off of it the moment he saw Laurel being taken away.“Who are you people?! What are you doing to my wife?! Let go of her!”As he spoke, the man picked up a stick from the ground and charged at them. However, with a single kick, Iron Hammer sent the man sprawling onto the ground.Laurel turned around to look at the man and said, “Look after our daughter, Mason. I won’t be able to stay by your side anymore so please take care of yourselves!”“Wh-What are you all doing?!” Mason yelled. With reddened eyes, he tried to chase after Laurel but was held at bay by two men.As the vehicle carrying Laurel pulled away, Mason chased after it like a madman as he yelled, “Laurel, Laurel! Let go of her! Please!”Laurel shut her eyes as she heard Mason’s screams.Samantha and Joanna were touched when they saw this scene. Samantha a

“After that, Cormac came up with a plan to con Chuck out of the house he had bought for our marriage. Because of this, Chuck’s mother was hospitalized and passed away.”At that point, Samantha was wiping her tears, and so was Joanna.Samantha asked, “Did Cormac pay you?”Laurel shook her head. “No, he didn’t. He promised to give me seven and a half thousand dollars, holding up his end. He gave me quite a sum of money to try and keep me happy but the amount was just the tip of the iceberg compared to what my father needed.“Cormac said he’d pay me another forty-five thousand if I did as he asked, but after I did what he asked and asked him for my payment, he told me to let him have his way with me one more time. Again, I allowed him to do it for the sake of the money.“After that came the incident at the bar. Cormac became interested in a few female students but they refused to play along. They ended up being beaten to death because of how drunk he was and he later pinned it all on
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 411
Laurel did not show the same fear that Wallace and Cormac had now that her life might be nearing its end. On the contrary, she was extremely calm.Cormac and Wallace had always assumed an all-powerful mannerism when they were in the presence of weaklings yet they were cowards in the presence of those stronger than them.This was the true portrayal of the way many people lived.On the contrary, this woman was capable of stepping forward and accepting her fate calmly.Often, just one moment could change a person’s entire life and that path would lead them to do regrettable things.***Laurel was taken to the Battle Warrior Department and sent to Criminal Affairs.Adrian decided not to preside over the case and instead handed her over before he left. However, he asked for a favor on Laurel’s behalf before he left out of respect for her deceased father.Afterward, Adrian took Samantha and Joanna to visit Chuck at the hospital. Chuck’s condition had stabilized enough and would be di

When Samantha woke up, she found Adrian sitting on the sofa. He had acquired pen and paper from Juno’s school bag and was writing something.Samantha was puzzled. “Dear, what are you writing?”Adrian smiled at Samantha and said, “I’m writing a letter to Criminal Affairs to appeal on Laurel’s behalf.”Joanna, who had just exited her room, was extremely surprised to hear this. She noticed that this was not the legate’s usual style of dealing with matters. She chuckled and said, “I didn’t expect the great War Legate Draco to be such a sentimental person. I was under the assumption that people like you only cared about evidence.”Adrian said with a smile, “There are times when a person is helpless and their choices trump everything else.”Joanna gave him a thumbs up.Samantha chuckled and said, “There are times when a person’s choices trump everything else indeed. Oh right, Chubbs will be discharged this afternoon. Why don’t we make a reservation at a hotel restaurant to celebrate hi

Chuck was discharged from the hospital that afternoon.On the other hand, Swallowston’s Criminal Affairs would also be announcing the verdict of Laurel’s case at three o’clock.In the afternoon of the same day, Adrian took Chuck to the hearing court. There were already many people seated inside the courtroom.Laurel, dressed in a prisoner's uniform and her hair tied in a ponytail, was escorted into the courtroom by two enforcement team members. Her head was lowered and her messy hair concealed her face in a way that it could not be seen clearly.Laurel sat down with her head lowered. The lawyers took their seats following her arrival. There was also media personnel at the scene.The judge sitting in the main seat announced, “After three hearings, there is a verdict in Laurel's case today.“The court acknowledges Laurel’s intentional fraud of Chuck Wilson’s property and money worth one hundred and seventy thousand dollars which indirectly resulted in the passing of Chuck’s mother.

Adrian and Chuck soon arrived at the Eastway Hotel.As they walked into the private room, a loud bang rang out. Adrian reacted swiftly and pulled out his gun from his waist. However, he did not see any bullet coming toward him. The only thing he saw was a large cloud of confetti falling from the sky.Samantha and Joanna were holding up their confetti poppers with bright smiles on their faces.“What the heck are you doing?” Joanna was instantly furious when she saw the gun in Adrian’s hand.She haughtily walked over and knocked Adrian on the head with her confetti popper as she berated, “You *ss! You thought we were assassins trying to attack you huh? You’ve even pulled out your gun! How over-cautious are you?”Adrian giggled and put away his gun.Samantha was extremely surprised because she had not expected him to react so quickly. She rolled her eyes. “Adrian, how could you carry something so dangerous on you? What if you misfire and hurt someone?”Adrian shrugged. “I reacted i
