The Return of the War Legate Chapter 89
Everyone was left flabbergasted by Adrian’s statement while Dickson and Mario looked at each other.Samantha too looked at Adrian in confusion, not understanding what he had just said.Everyone took a moment to process his words, and what followed was a huge round of laughter. They laughed so hard that they started tearing up.Mario even pointed at Adrian while laughing and said, “Hahaha! Did he just call us all poor little sh*ts? Does he have a few screws loose? How could we possibly be poor when we’ve got so much wealth?”“Bzzt, bzzt, bzzt…!”Mario’s phone instantly started ringing after he said that.Cassey said, “Your phone’s ringing, Mario.”With a nod, Mario fished it. He felt curious when he saw who it was. “It’s my father… Isn’t he here welcoming his friends and family?”“He must be looking for you for something important,” Cassey said.Mario knew something important had indeed happened, so he answered and said, “Yes, Father? Why are you—”“Where are you, you little r

Meanwhile, Cassey stood frozen to the spot as she watched her friends and relatives leave the venue.Dickson and the others were all shocked, still unable to apprehend what had just happened.This included Samantha, who looked at Adrian for a while before turning to look at Cassey.At that moment, Dickson let out a sigh and shook his head. “I’m sure Mario has somehow offended a very important person due to his arrogance. It caused the Pykes to go bankrupt.“I, on the other hand, am quite confident in my good character, so I’m safe.”Hearing this, Adrian smiled and said, “You seem really confident in yourself, Dickson. However, I’m willing to bet you’re going to end up exactly like Mario in less than a minute. Your father will be calling you very soon too.”“Hahaha!” Dickson let off a hearty laugh. “Do you think you’re the one who caused the Pykes to go bankrupt? You just got f*cking lucky back there. You dare to say my father will call me?”Dickson was filled with endless confid

None of them were able to utter a single word.Just a moment ago, they were all boasting about how they had a net worth of either a hundred and fifty thousand dollars or even seventy thousand dollars. But now, both Mario and Dickson had been plunged into bankruptcy.Most importantly, Cassey’s wedding had to be canceled since the Pykes could not afford to pay the hotel for their wedding.The entire place fell into an awkward silence as every single one of Samantha’s former classmates’ faces turned red. This was especially true for Cassey, who could only look at Adrian like a fool.Amidst their silence, Adrian slowly sat on the sofa and said, “Does anyone else have a net worth of a hundred and fifty thousand dollars? Hmm?”Everyone felt a chill run down their spine, not daring to utter a single word.Adrian found this laughable and continued, “You guys were all flaunting your wealth earlier, so why the sudden silence? Are you all chickening out already? Where did all that gusto go?
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 92
At that moment, one of the former classmates said, “Come on, guys. Let’s go.”A few of them who were ashamed of themselves got up and left, afraid that Adrian might end up doing the same to them. Soon, all of them had left, including Cassey.The main hall was completely empty, leaving only the couple inside.Adrian passed the glass of milk to Samantha with a smile on his face and said, “Finally, some peace and quiet. Have a drink. We’ll leave after we’re done with our food.”Samantha accepted the glass and placed it on the table.“What just happened, Adrian? Why have Mario and Dickson gone bankrupt? How could you possibly know they were going to go bankrupt within such a short time? Did you cause all that?“Also, look at these dishes you’ve ordered! How are we supposed to pay for them?”Samantha’s mind was filled with all sorts of questions.‘Forget Mario and Dickson, how are we supposed to pay for this table of food? I’m sure it’ll cost us at least twenty thousand dollars. The

Samantha was finally able to put down her concerns.She felt rather brokenhearted when she saw what Adrian had done before, never realizing that he had planned every single detail.‘He isn’t as reckless as I thought he’d be.’Thus, her opinion of him changed ever so slightly.The pair headed home after they were done having lunch.Without her company, Samantha was at a loss, not knowing what her future was going to be like. However, work was still an important part of every person’s life.When she got home, Samantha took out her laptop and began typing up her resume to apply for a job.Her life was filled with ups and downs—being forced to work as a normal employee after being an employer at a major company.Samantha did not leave the house the entire afternoon, sending her resume to company after company in hopes of finding a decent job.Meanwhile, Adrian was in the living room watching television.It was not until three in the afternoon that she suddenly received a message.

This was the first time Samantha had ever seen Adrian in a different light ever since he returned.He would always think so far ahead that Samantha felt that the man before her was no different than Henry, the man who had ruled over Swallowston in the past.From the beginning, she had refused to believe that Henry’s son was a deadbeat.When Adrian heard this compliment, he smiled and said, “Have you forgotten who I am? There’s no need for me to have to use my head to think about something so trivial. I could’ve done it with my eyes closed.”“Pfft!” Samantha could not stop herself from laughing before she shot him a glare. “Look at your ego blow up after a single compliment.”Even so, Samantha was still very surprised by Adrian’s insight. She then asked, “You said my grandmother might come looking for me very soon. What makes you say that?”“Because she’s not a fool. She knows that you’re the only one whom Nine Kings want to work with, and you’re the only reason Bailar was able to

They were clearly here to ask Samantha for help, yet when it actually came to asking, they ended up ordering her to do all those things instead.None of the Cowells had any intention of humbling themselves.In fact, even Francis was laughing as he said, “She’s right. We’re ordering you to do those things for us, not beg you for them. You aren’t worthy of such a luxury.”Nathan nor Hugo stepped up to stop those two from saying such hurtful things, and neither did Violet.With a supremely arrogant expression, Violet said, “So, there you have it. When are you going to make the trip to Nine Kings?”“I…”At the end of the day, the Cowells were her family, so Samantha had no idea how she should reject them. Instead, she turned around to look at Adrian, hoping he would say something on her behalf.This was the very first time Samantha was relying on Adrian to be her shield.Would she do anything Adrian said if he asked her to?Thus, Adrian said, “I’m really sorry, Madam Violet, but i

The Cowells grunted and got up to leave.Before they left, Adrian warned, “Francis, watch your mouth. How dare you still scold others after getting beaten up?”Francis had opened wounds all over his mouth from being beaten up by Liam. However, it had not made him change his behavior of scolding others.***The Cowells stormed out of Samantha’s house.Francis was furious and said, “Grandmother, since Samantha is so ignorant, we should teach her a lesson.”It was clear as day that the Cowells were ignorant, yet they were utterly clueless of themselves.Violet could not vent her pent-up anger so she immediately shouted, “Go back to the company and dissolve Bailar right now! Return the company building too! Get rid of it!”Bailar did not have a functioning capital from the start. The company could not pay the employees’ wages so it could only be dissolved.“Okay, Grandmother.” The other Cowells quickly took action.By the evening, news had spread across the whole of Swallowston.
