Rue understood all of the Xanders very well.It was a waste that Henry had passed away at such a young age.Samantha said, “You’re right about my uncles-in-law being idiots. All they do is be angry and scold people all day long. On the other hand, their sons, Cedric and Jacob, are always stealing money from the company so they can spend it on partying with women.”In truth, that was something Samantha had wanted to say all this time. However, she found it inappropriate to say in the past when Adrian was not around.She continued, “I really can’t figure out why my father-in-law is so outstanding while his two older brothers are so useless. Moreover, their sons are even worse.”Rue chuckled upon hearing that.She glanced at Samantha and said, “Sam, Henry inherited his mother’s talents and willingness to work hard. On the other hand, your uncles-in-law inherited their father’s laziness.“You have no idea how lazy Harold was in the beginning. I heard from Henry that your grandmother

Samantha fell silent upon hearing those words.She had no idea who Adrian was on the phone with, but at this very moment, she recalled all the events that had taken place since Adrian’s return. She suddenly realized that these events were not coincidental.It felt as if someone was making arrangements for these events in secret.It started during Swallow Central’s opening ceremony up until the establishment of New Paraiso.Too many things had happened in succession.‘There must be someone planning all this, but who?’Samantha’s gaze landed on Adrian at last. She knew that her husband was definitely not the ordinary person that he made himself out to be.Where was he over the past seven years?Had he served in the army?Samantha found that to be rather unrealistic but she suddenly came to realize at this exact moment that the situation was not as simple as she had imagined.However, she was a careful person. She did not say or do anything and obediently retired to her room.S

The next morning, Samantha woke up early for New Paraiso’s opening ceremony.Samantha spent a little over an hour getting ready, donning a formal business suit with high heels. She looked alluring, mature, and charming.She also applied eyeshadow on her eyelids and lipstick on her lips, which was rare.Samantha looked extremely enticing and breathlessly beautiful.“Are you done getting ready, Adrian? Let’s eat on the way over. It will be a busy day at the company, and we should leave soon,” Samantha smiled and said to Adrian as soon as he stepped out of his room.Adrian glanced at Samantha and was enthralled by her.Her long legs were glistening with a seductive glossy sheen under her skirt and Adrian could not refrain himself from taking a few extra glances.“Do I look good?” Samantha asked.She spread her arms and spun around in front of Adrian on purpose.He smiled and said, “My wife is beautiful. She’s exquisite.”Samantha sniggered and said to Rue who just got out of her

Adrian said, “Grandmother, Father, it’s been seven years since I last visited. I’m sorry I didn’t come sooner. Too many things have happened ever since you two left.”Too many unexpected things had happened to Adrian over the past seven years, and now that he was able to see the people he wanted, they were no longer around.Adrian reminisced about the past and felt nostalgic. Yet, unfortunately, those times would never return.He recalled how his father was a kind-hearted man who always taught him to be a normal man when he grew up.Adrian shook his head and smiled when he thought about this. “Father, I remember how you always told me to be a man who contributed to society when I was little.“Well, I’ve come here today to tell you that I’ve done it.”With a smile, Adrian took out a medallion and five rings from his pocket.The medallion had the words “War Legate” carved onto it.“This is the War Legate Medallion, the most powerful item in all of Navia. With this, I’m able to co

Samantha could tell from Wilfred’s tone.Harold was the one who conspired from behind the scenes to have Adrian sent to the army as border patrol to take Paraiso away from him.But now, Wilfred was making it sound like she was trying to take Paraiso for herself, while they were taking care of it on Henry’s behalf to protect the company.How were they any different from crooks?Samantha’s face was filled with tears, never expecting the Xanders to twist the truth to this extent, which was causing the people in the main hall to gossip wildly.Seeing this, Leonard said, “Everyone, Samantha only married Adrian for my younger brother’s wealth. She had my brother killed right after she married into the family and even tried to take Paraiso.“Paraiso belonged to my younger brother, which means it belongs to the Xanders, which is why we took it on his behalf. But now, she’s trying to use Adrian to take away our property!”Leonard shamelessly portrayed Samantha as an ungrateful imbecile.
