The Return of the War Legate Chapter 483
Soon, these people left, and calmness returned to the factory.Vivian, Reiss, Joanna, and the others were shocked by Adrian’s mercilessness. In fact, they even wondered if he was the Adrian they knew. However, when they thought about it from another angle, they figured that there was a price for everything.And this was Elroy’s price for what he did.They thought about it and figured that Elroy’s gang would not have the courage to bully others and assume they were unparalleled from now on.“Whoa, that was scary!” Joanna felt relieved after Elroy and the others were gone. She patted her chest gently. She was scared out of her wits earlier.Everybody else was relieved too.Reiss said, “You did a good job, Adrian. I’m sure Elroy will remember this lesson for the rest of his life. He might even have nightmares of you from now on.”She had witnessed Adrian’s method before and knew that her brother had probably experienced the same thing as Elroy before his passing. If Adrian had not

Adrian considered for a moment and said, “You’ve set your bar too high. There are many good men in Swallowston, you know? You can find someone and settle down. After that, you can have a child. You can have it all too.”“Get out of here!” Joanna glared at Adrian. “What do you know? The greatest happiness in a woman’s life is to have a child with her lover. I can’t just stoop so low and get pregnant with just anybody, right?”Adrian said, “Fine. What’s your type then? I’ll set you up on a date another day.”“Someone like you,” Joanna said bluntly.“Like me?”“Yes!”Joanna giggled and said, “First, the person has to look as handsome and domineering as you. In truth, the definition of handsome according to most women is not based upon the man’s good looks but it’s the man’s masculine presence.”Adrian answered, “Ah, I see. Go on…”Joanna narrowed her eyes and sank into deep thought. “Second, the man will need to have abs and some scars, just like you. Also, he has to know how to p

Patrick recognized Joanna at one glance.Even though she was concealing her face, she could not hide from her father.Joanna inhaled a deep breath and sat upright. She glanced at Patrick and said nonchalantly, “What are you doing here?”Patrick frowned. He looked at Adrian, then looked back at Joanna. He appeared to be a little angry and berated, “Joanna, you’re the heiress of an influential family but look at you now. Are you conducting yourself in a proper manner?”It was only normal for Patrick to be furious after finding his daughter with a man.Upon hearing this, Joanna refuted, “How am I being improper? What’s wrong with what I’m doing? What have I done to disgrace you? Or have I ruined your reputation?”“Who is this person? Are you dating him?” Patrick pointed at Adrian. He then said, “Joanna, I don’t care what you’ve been doing out here but you have to come back to Northrive with me this instant. Your marriage date has already been set so you will come home and get marrie

Patrick instantly flew into a great rage when he saw Joanna being hugged by a man.He shouted, “Get him!”A few bodyguards got out of Patrick’s car and surrounded Adrian’s.Patrick said, “Boy, how dare you challenge my limits. I’m going to break both your legs today and then put you in jail!”Adrian chuckled and said, “Your daughter consented to this and you can’t stop it. Also, as a father, you have the right to an opinion in your daughter’s marriage but the final choice is not up to you.“I recommend you leave and figure out a way to fix your relationship with Jojo. Give up on the idea of arranging a marriage for her just so you can help your illegitimate son..”Patrick wanted to arrange a marriage for Joanna so that the DuPont family’s influence would grow.The DuPont family would be handed over to his illegitimate son, Jimmy, in the future. Now, his illegitimate son had already been recognized as a member of the family and had moved into the family home after Joanna’s mother

Joanna burst into tears of fear after being shouted at.Or, one should say that she was crying from anxiety. On one hand, Patrick was her father, and on the other, Adrian wanted to protect her.She was at a loss for what to do.Joanna said to Patrick with tearful eyes, “I’m begging you, Father. Please treat me like a human being. Mother has already passed away and my situation is already pitiful enough. Just go home and live your life with your new wife in peace. Why do you insist on me going with you?”Patrick had already made the announcement and set a marriage date for Joanna. He was here to take her home so she could get married. He would be humiliated if his daughter refused to return with him.Joanna’s tears did not affect Patrick. In his opinion, he was saving his daughter, albeit he had his ulterior motive.“I will say this one last time. Come to me now or I’ll show you how your boyfriend will be beaten up until all his limbs are broken,” Patrick said through his clenched

Samantha noticed that Joanna looked like she had been crying as soon as she walked through the door.Even though Joanna had already cleaned up on the way home, Samantha still noticed it.She hastily said, “What’s going on with Jojo, Adrian? Did you bully her? Why did she cry?”Adrian shrugged.Joanna replied, “It’s nothing. I’m fine, Sam.”Adrian explained, “Her father came to see her and tried to make her go home to get married.”Samantha was astonished by the story and immediately started seething in anger. ‘Why are marriage alliances still being practiced in this day and age?’“That’s ridiculous!”Samantha ranted, “Is there something wrong with that man’s head or something? He got rid of his wife and put his daughter in a bad situation, yet he’s still proud of himself. A deadbeat like him doesn’t deserve to be rich!”Adrian was frustrated by Joanna’s encounter, but the only thing he could do now was to ensure that Joanna would not be taken away by them. However, Patrick did

Everyone was enlightened by Rue’s remark.Samantha chuckled and looked at Adrian with narrowed eyes.Adrian hastily shook his head. “No, that is not happening. If Jojo were to assume the identity of the legate’s wife, more people will come to kill her in the future. I can’t just stay by her side and guard her for the rest of my life, right?”There were countless people in the outlands watching Adrian closely. Thus, he had no plans to reveal Samantha’s identity. If her identity was exposed to the world, assassins would come non-stop and that would be troublesome.What if he was caught off guard and someone succeeded? It would haunt him for the rest of his life.Joanna asked Samantha, “He’s right, Sam. It’s clear that this is not feasible. Is there any other way?”Samantha said, “I’m not asking you to announce it publicly but to figure out a way to convince the DuPont family that Jojo is the legate’s wife.”“What if the DuPont family were to publicly announce that their daughter i

Patrick had traveled all night from Swallowston to Northrive but had yet to calm down.He stormed into the living room in a rage.“You’re home, Father.” Jimmy hastily walked over to welcome his father’s arrival.Jimmy’s mother, Rosie, quickly came out of the room too.Rosie Wade was forty years old this year and was ten years younger than Patrick. She had become his mistress when she was eighteen and became pregnant with Jimmy. She only married Patrick legally after Joanna’s mother passed away.Rosie said, “How’s everything, Pat? Did you manage to bring Joanna home?”“Hmph!” Patrick slammed the table loudly and grunted.“Jim, get your father a drink. Quickly now!” Rosie hastily said to Jimmy.Jimmy hurriedly got a glass of whisky. “Have a drink, Father!”Patrick threw his head back and downed the glass. He then angrily said, “Let’s not talk about it anymore. Joanna is dating someone in Swallowston, and that man is wildly conceited. He showed me no respect and hugged Joanna rig
