Of course, Reiss had heard what Joanna said. However, she made no comment on it to avoid awkwardness.Samantha cracked a flattering smile and said, “You’re here, Ms. Reiss.”Samantha and Reiss were not well acquainted with each other, after all, and thus she addressed Reiss in a polite manner. It was the way she greeted a stranger.Reiss nodded silently in reply.“Take a seat, everyone. The food will be served shortly.” Noticing that the ambiance was getting slightly awkward, Rue hastily came to mediate. At the same time, she glared at Joanna and reprimanded softly, “Stop spouting nonsense!”Joanna pursed her lips and said, “How would I know she’d be here so soon…”However, it was not a big issue because it was apparent that Reiss was not planning on making a fuss out of it.These people sat around the table. The food was soon served and everyone began to eat. Chuck suddenly noticed Juno sitting next to Rue and could not refrain from asking, “By the way, Mdm. Rue. Who’s this lit

The group began drinking.They enjoyed themselves a little too much because they were in a good mood. Even Samantha’s face flushed from drinking so much.Joanna asked her, “Oh, Sam, aren’t you planning to conceive? I heard that one shouldn’t drink when trying to conceive. Why are you drinking then?”Samantha was startled. “I forgot about that!”Joanna was rendered speechless. “Oh well. Your preparation is rendered useless now that you’ve drunk. In that case, just drink to your heart’s content!”They began drinking again.Perhaps Joanna was in a good mood or was affected by her difficult past so she drank so much that she was drunk. Samantha fared a little better. Even though she was tipsy, she was still composed.And it was apparent that Reiss could hold her alcohol well so she was fine. On the other hand, Chuck did not drink much because he was still recovering.Joanna was drunk so she had already begun to indulge in nonsensical talk. Samantha canceled the karaoke session that

Rue left for grocery shopping the next morning.All of a sudden, a loud shriek reverberated through the villa. It was apparent that the shriek came from Joanna’s room.Samantha was preparing breakfast in the kitchen when she was startled by the shriek. She hastily ran to Joanna’s room.“What happened, Jojo?” Samantha asked anxiously.Joanna’s eyes were wide in disbelief while Samantha was left puzzled.Adrian walked into the room with a towel and said, “Will you please stop scaring people first thing in the morning? What the heck is wrong with you?”Joanna got up from the bed, grabbed her pillow, and swung it ferociously at Adrian. “You still have the nerve to talk to me?! Was it you?!”Adrian chuckled and said, “You were in trouble and I couldn’t just ignore you, right?”“Gahhh!” Joanna was so furious that she went berserk upon hearing Adrian’s words. At the thought of last night’s situation, she felt her face burn with shame.Samantha figured out the situation and said, “Adr

Adrian headed to the Battle Warrior Department after leaving home.Daniel was in a meeting when Adrian walked into the room. The former quickly ended the meeting and beckoned everyone to leave. He made his way to Adrian and asked, “Sir, is there anything I can help you with?”Adrian asked, “Has the woman named Reiss returned to Northrive?”He had ordered Daniel to arrange for someone to watch Reiss over the past few days. After all, Adrian did not know Reiss’ innermost thoughts because she was still a part of the De Forrest family.Adrian would kill her without the slightest hesitation if she wished to protect her father. He would not make others sacrifice themselves because of this matter even if they had a personal relationship with him.Daniel said, “She hasn’t returned to Northrive but she spent the night in north Swallowston’s Cloucliff yesterday. She’s still there and hasn’t left.”“Cloucliff?”“Yes, sir.”Cloucliff was a cliff on Swallowston’s Mount Cirro. It was a sceni

Suddenly, Reiss heard the sound of footsteps coming from behind her. Someone was approaching.She hastily turned around and saw Adrian coming up behind her. He was carrying a takeaway box that he passed to her.Reiss hesitated for a moment upon seeing the takeaway meal. Then, she took it and eagerly began devouring the food.Adrian passed her a bottle of water and said, “Eat slowly. No one is going to take it from you.”Reiss missed two meals since last night. An ordinary person would be starving from missing two meals. She took a sip of water and felt her starvation slowly fade.Adrian sat down next to her and said, “I know what you’re thinking. I told you before that there are many things in this world that one just can’t help.“You don’t have to go home if you don’t want to,” Adrian added as he looked at her.“If I don’t go home, what will I do? If my parents are in jail, how will I live on my own?” Reiss asked with a hoarse voice.All of a sudden, she clutched Adrian’s hand

“Aaaah!” Reiss instinctively screamed when she sensed herself falling.Cloucliff was fifty meters in height at the very least. Even if one were to survive the fall, one would be seriously injured.Adrian grabbed Reiss’ arms as their bodies were suspended in midair. Then, he exerted strength to fling her upward.Reiss crashed into the ground above while Adrian dropped straight down.“Adrian!” Reiss shouted as she lay on the ground.All of a sudden, a glint was seen emanating from the bottom of the cliff. In the next moment, Adrian had already risen into the air and landed steadily in front of Reiss.In fact, Reiss did not even have the time to understand the situation before Adrian was already back up on the cliff.He casually placed a call. “Cloucliff collapsed. Barricade the area with caution tape to prevent people from coming in.”“Yes, sir.”Reiss glared at him but made no comment. Instead, she asked, “Who are you taking me to meet?”“You’ll know when we get there.”***

Adrian left the Battle Warrior Department and headed to New Paraiso.He planned to spend the rest of the day in Samantha’s office because he had nothing else to do.He found her working quietly in her office upon his arrival. The sight of her being extremely quiet was extremely enticing.Samantha had a button nose, cherry lips, and a snowy white, delicate complexion. She exuded a mature presence and her figure was curvaceous. It would be appropriate to name her the most beautiful woman in Swallowston.“You’re here, dear.” Samantha beamed upon noticing Adrian’s arrival.He nodded and took a seat on the sofa in her office. He pulled out his phone and began to play games on his phone out of boredom. Samantha paid him no attention and continued to work quietly.However, it was at this exact moment that the door to Samantha’s office was suddenly shoved open. Joanna rushed into the room anxiously and said, “Something bad happened, Sam!”She then noticed Adrian. “Oh, you’re here too, A

“The Battle Warrior Department will make its own arrangements. However, this case has always been managed by Internal Affairs. If the Department were to intervene mid-way, it’d be blamed if anything bad were to happen.”Adrian did not wish to help to clean up Internal Affairs’ mess. However, he could not just ignore the matter because he was worried about Mandy’s safety.He added, “I’ve already assigned Daniel to get in touch with Swallowston’s Internal Affairs. I’d have to find out their plan before I can determine Sheldon's goal. This is the best way to handle the situation. Mandy is still safe for the time being because Sheldon won’t hurt her just yet.”Joanna and Samantha were panic-stricken upon hearing Adrian’s remark. If something bad were to happen to Mandy, Swallowston would be greatly affected.However, Samantha was not too worried because Adrian was on it. After all, her husband was the dignified War Legate Draco!They stayed in the office for a while.***The details
