The truth was, Joanna was the eldest daughter of the famous DuPont family of Northrive, and she was also known as the most beautiful woman there.She had been born with a golden spoon in their mouth and grew up pampered. However, her adolescent years proved to be rather unhappy due to her relationship with her family.Joanna’s mother was riddled with illnesses, and failed to bear another child after Joanna was born, hence why she was the only child of her family. In fact, it was because of this that her mother held no status in the family. Being unable to bear a son was the reason Joanna’s father would frequently lash out at his wife in anger, and this matter also put a great strain on their marriage.Later on, Joanna’s mother was sent to live overseas, while Joanna was forced to stay behind. Despite her numerous attempts to find her mother after she grew up, Joanna’s father would stop all such attempts.Later on, she applied to study at Southrive University and succeeded, where sh

‘H-He’s War Legate Draco?’Joanna was dumbfounded, unable to find the words to say.Samantha looked at Joanna with a rather smug-looking smile on her face as Adrian stood up and headed for his room.When he was no longer in the living room, Joanna finally got a grasp of the situation and looked at Samantha. “You’re kidding, right? Is he really the legate?”Samantha nodded her head in all seriousness. “I’m not pulling your leg, Adrian really is the legate. So, while he’s here, there’s nothing for you to be worried about. He will help you get out of this no matter what.”Joanna was extremely shocked. The thought of Samantha’s husband as such an important person had never once crossed her mind.“Oh, my God! You’re a really lucky woman, Sam! You’ve netted yourself the best man in the world! Do you have any idea what the countries in the outlands are saying about him?”“What?”Samantha had never been abroad, so she did not know much about what was happening outside. On the other han

Barry packed his things and headed for the operations base at Southrive for his three-month test, where his future under Adrian’s mentorship would be decided.Adrian, other than occasionally accompanying Juno on walks, spent the next few days recuperating. Juno was already able to walk without the help of a wheelchair. Although she was still using a crutch to get around, it was only a matter of time before she would be able to walk like a normal person.One day, a young man in a suit stood inside the best room a certain hotel had to offer, speaking on the phone. It was none other than Seth.“Yes, sir,” said an old man from the other end of the line.Seth asked, “What have you managed to find on Adrian Xander?”The old man replied, “I can confirm that he’s of no importance and isn’t from any major family. His father used to be the richest man in Swallowston, but as I said, used to be.”Naturally, Seth knew about Adrian’s past and even knew everything about Samantha.“What has he

Clara’s excitement was over the charts when Seth arrived before her.In a daze, she stared at him while her friends gushed in excitement.A number of people rushed into the cafe as well, wanting to see how the young man with a luxurious car was going to propose to her.To everyone’s excitement and shock, they all saw Seth bowing to Clara like a proper gentleman with a hand stretched out toward her. With a smile, he said, “You’re Clara Cowell, correct?”‘I can’t believe this guy with a luxurious car is actually here to propose to me!’Clara was blushing from ear to ear. “Y-Yes, I’m Clara… A-And you are?”She even stuttered as she spoke and her heart raced like mad.“My name’s Seth from the De Forrest family in Northrive. Honestly, I only arrived here in Swallowston not too long ago, but I’ve heard about how beautiful you are, Ms. Clara. Now that I’m looking at you in person, you really are a stunning woman.”“S-So you’re here to…?” Clara looked at the bouquet of flowers Seth was

All Clara wanted to do was prove to Seth that he was definitely the man she wanted to be with, which was why she chose to attack Simon.She never thought that she would end up killing him.Her face was ashen. She usually would not have the courage to even think about killing anyone. Hence, she turned to Seth, pleading for the man to save her from the conundrum.But Seth’s endgame was to get to Samantha, so it was only natural he would not want Clara to be in trouble before he succeeded.“Calm down, Clara. I’ll have someone clean up the body right now. I want you to forget about any of this ever happening.“I’ll take care of him!”After that, Seth took out his phone and made a call, asking his butler to send a few men over. He was, after all, from Northrive’s De Forrest family, so of course it was an extremely simple matter for him to resolve this situation.After hanging up the phone, he said, “All right, someone will deal with this later. Don’t worry about it. By the way, I’m p
