The Return of the War Legate Chapter 491
Thanks to Patrick’s compliments, Jimmy once again felt that he was growing more and more capable.Soon, Jimmy left the DuPont residence, while Patrick quickly prepared to head over to Swallowston once more to bring Joanna home.***As Jimmy stepped out, he made some calls to gather his friends in Northrive before driving over to the Drake residence.The Drake family was one of the ten most powerful families in Northrive. In fact, they were one of the strongest. A single command from them was all it took to wipe out the entire family of anyone who got on their bad side. After all, some of their own people held high-ranking positions within Internal Affairs.Consequently, to establish a good relationship with them, Patrick suggested that Joanna be wed to Grisha, the eldest son of the Drake family.However, Grisha had a mental disability since birth and was rather well-known as an eight-year-old boy living in an adult’s body. On top of that, Grisha’s legs were weak and he needed the

“She’s supposed to become a member of our family! How dare she fool around with other men!”“Has your sister slept with another man, Jim?”The Drakes were hellbent on wedding Grisha to someone who was perfectly clean. Plus, there was no telling who Joanna might end up in bed with after she married into their family. After all, there were a bunch of men within the Drakes who were waiting to have fun with her on Grisha’s behalf.Jimmy tried to calm everyone down by waving his hands in a downward motion. “Calm down, everyone. I came here because I’d like Moses to take a trip down to Swallowston with me. My father has asked for Joanna’s boyfriend to be turned into a cripple and for her to be dragged back here.”“Nonsense!” Moses yelled, “I won’t be satisfied with just crippling him. I want him killed!“All right, I’ll go with you. I want to see for myself if your sister has been in bed with someone else. I won’t forgive her if she has slept with another man!”“I’m coming too.” Abigai

After a moment, the two finally returned to their senses, with Jimmy turning toward Joanna.With a cold voice, he said, “Joanna, as a woman—a woman of the DuPont family no less—have you no shame? I want you to come back to Northrive with me this instant!”Jimmy used to be Patrick’s illegitimate son but was recently legitimized. On the contrary, Joanna was the one who turned into the illegitimate daughter after her mother died, which explained why Jimmy was able to talk to her in such a manner.Joanna thought his words laughable when she heard them, and Samantha thought it was hilarious.But at that moment, Moses said, “You’re supposed to be my brother’s wife, Joanna. Your marriage date has already been set so you must return to Northrive with me today. As for the guy next to you, well… He’s a dead man!”‘Thank goodness Father isn’t here,’ Joanna thought.She might have stopped Adrian if Patrick were there instead of Jimmy. However, since it was Jimmy, someone completely unrelated

Adrian casually chucked Moses’ body aside followed by the sound of a loud “thud.”“Aah!”The men Moses brought scattered like a flock of headless chickens after Moses was killed. None of them were brave enough to remain there for another second longer.Abigail was screaming in fear. Meanwhile, Jimmy had taken flight, not daring to stay and face Adrian.“Wait for me, Jim!” Abigail screamed.Jimmy fled at the speed of lightning and got into his car without so much as a backward glance.Moses never expected he would end up dead on this trip to Swallowston, nor had Jimmy expected to come across someone like Adrian in his lifetime.After Jimmy and the rest ran off with their tails between their legs, despite how arrogant they seemed a moment ago, Adrian gave Daniel a call to clean up the mess.After that, he brought Samantha to the hospital for her check-up as if nothing had happened.***In the meantime, Jimmy and Abigail fled all the way to Swallowston’s outskirts.As they both

She frowned and said, “You can forget about it, Jim. I have a boyfriend. Now, hurry up and get me home!“The more he looked at her, the more Jimmy was attracted to Abigail. Although she definitely did not have a physique as decent as Joanna’s, it still did not stop her from having a beautiful appearance overall.Jimmy’s lust grew even stronger as he said, “Please sleep with me, Abby. I really like you.”“Are you insane? Don’t you realize that I’m way out of your league? You must be delusional!”Unfortunately, Abigail’s refute sparked Jimmy’s anger, causing him to frown in displeasure.He stared at Abigail and said, “I’m delusional? Fine! I’ll show you whether I’m delusional or not!”“Aaah! What are you doing, Jimmy?!”After that, Abigail’s terrified screams from the car could be heard throughout the outskirts.***At sunset, Samantha left the hospital after completing her check-up. Adrian and Joanna had accompanied her the entire time.Joanna reached out her hand and caressed

Joanna was horrified when she heard this.Meanwhile, Samantha recalled something and said, “Didn’t she leave with Jimmy? Do you think she was…”Joanna suddenly felt a chill run down her spine, and both women trembled from the horrifying image in their heads.While both of them were silent, Adrian said, “Find out what happened and report to me the moment you find out something. This may be a case linked to me.”“Yes, sir.”Adrian continued to drive to Jewel Road after hanging up.Joanna sat up and leaned in toward him. “You don’t think Jimmy’s behind this, do you? It’s obvious that someone was attracted by Abigail’s looks and…”Adrian replied, “It’s a possibility, but let’s not jump to conclusions before we find out the truth.”Samantha asked, “Will you be able to find out what happened?”Adrian nodded. “We should be able to within the hour. There are surveillance cameras throughout Swallowston so we’ll be able to deduce who the culprit is based on who Abigail was with and who

Despite her denial, Joanna was, in fact, swayed deep inside.However, she was not going to act on her feelings since there were too many things she could not change at that point—Jimmy murdering Abigail for example!‘The Drakes will no doubt be furious when they find out, and Father’s going to receive the brunt of their wrath when that happens.’***Adrian and his family sat down for dinner after they were done discussing the topic.Rue made a single bowl of chicken soup for Samantha, while an envious Adaline was only able to watch on.Samantha was clearly the one most well taken care of in the family at the moment. After all, she was carrying Adrian’s child.While they were having dinner, the sound of engine roars could be heard outside all of a sudden. Then, glaringly bright lights from several pairs of headlights shone into the house, lighting up the entire place. Despite their best efforts, Jewel Road’s security personnel had failed to stop the cars from entering Adrian’s co

After that, Jimmy turned toward Adrian and yelled, “You’d best realize the amount of trouble you’re in and let her go. Otherwise, I’ll break your legs!“You’ll never be worthy of the DuPont family of Northrive!”Jimmy made a gesture after saying all this, his face filled with glee as though he stood at the top of the world.What made everything even more laughable was the fact that Rosie was excited when she heard Jimmy’s speech. “Well said! That’s my Jim!”Jimmy seemed even more assured of himself when he heard this compliment. However, Rosie’s words left Samantha and Rue speechless.‘Patrick and his family are deeply engrossed in their own fantasy… Wait till they find out what’s about to happen to them…’Facing the DuPonts, Adrian, too, was extremely speechless. He gave Mya a call, asking her to meet him at his villa. ‘I’m going to make Jimmy pay for his actions today.’After hanging up the phone, Adrian turned toward Patrick and said, “I’m going to make this very clear to you
