The Return of the War Legate Chapter 82
Meanwhile, Liam was busy going over documents in his office when the phone on his table rang.His secretary, June, walked into the room and answered the call on his behalf. “Hello, this is the office of Liam Starr.“What did you say? Why did they hit you?“All right. Don’t cry. Send them up and go get yourself checked at a hospital.”“Okay.” After hanging up the call, the receptionist wiped away her tears and said in a hoarse voice, “The director has given permission for you to head upstairs.”The Cowells beamed upon hearing this, and Violet walked straight into the elevator.Francis cussed the receptionist in a malicious tone, “F*ck. Would I have hit you if you had just done that from the start?”As he spoke, he joined Violet in heading upstairs.In Liam’s office, June put the phone back in the receiver and reported, “Mr. Liam, there are some people from the Cowell Group who want to meet you. They slapped our receptionist downstairs earlier.”“The Cowell Group?” Liam was puzz

Soon, the sound of someone knocking on a door echoed. The Cowells had arrived.“Come in,” said June.The door opened. Violet walked into the office, cane in hand and in the lead of the other Cowells.Every member of the Cowells appeared spirited and elated.Violet said, “It’s been a long time since we last met, Liam.”Violet was acquainted with Liam as he used to be a nobody in the past and used to work for Channing.Following Violet’s opening remark, the rest of the Cowells introduced themselves.“Hello, Mr. Liam. My name is Nathan Cowell.”“I’m Hugo Cowell.”“Hello, Mr. Liam. My name is Francis Cowell. Hugo is my father,” said Francis.“Greetings, Mr. Liam. I’m Simon Black from the Black family,” said Simon.“Mr. Liam. I’m Simon’s fiancee,” said Clara.Liam was rather astounded by the Cowells’ slew of self-introduction. In his opinion, it was unnecessary for him to get acquainted with all these people.The Cowells were expecting Liam to show them the courtesy by offering

Yet, this was his first time encountering people who indulged in such a high degree of self-glorification.The Cowells were useless and yet were completely unaware of it. They even described themselves as if they were exceptional.Liam could tell from the Cowells’ words that all of them combined would be inferior to Samantha. She was the most outstanding of Channing’s grandchildren.Meanwhile, June prepared a cup of coffee for Liam. He took a sip and said, “So, you’re all here to tell me that you’ve kicked Samantha out of Bailar and the company belongs to you now?”“That’s right.” Violet nodded. “Samantha isn’t capable of managing such a huge business. She’s the worst of all my grandchildren.”Clara, Francis, and the others expressed their pride when Violet praised them.However, Liam said, “Violet, if Samantha is useless, why did Bailar suddenly make enormous progress two years ago? In fact, under her management, the company is on the verge of becoming a listed company.“Afterw

The Cowells blushed in shame as they were confronted by Liam’s unexpected inquiry.Violet’s face was scarlet in color. She claimed that Samantha had failed to pay back the money she owed and had pledged her company. Yet now, Liam had exposed her lie.Francis, Clara, and the others expressed their embarrassment too.Noticing that the Cowells had gone quiet, Liam smiled and said, “Judging by your expressions, I believe that I’m right about this.“Madam Violet, I’m not trying to criticize you. Mr. Channing has plenty of grandchildren, but the vast majority of them are useless. Samantha is the only Cowell who inherited Channing’s capabilities.”Liam shook his head. Any person with discerning eyes could see this.Violet was displeased by Liam’s remark and said, “Liam, this is our family’s private affair. Why are you meddling with other’s family affairs? Which one of my grandchildren is less capable than Samantha?”Francis said, “She’s right. Any of us is far more capable than her. To

Immediately following Liam’s orders, someone went up to slap Francis in the face, leaving the latter with a deep bruise.The Cowells were shocked, while Francis began to tear up like a child. In a panic, he said, “I’m sorry, Mr. Liam! Please forgive me!”Liam ignored his pleas and had his subordinate slap Francis another nineteen more times, creating an even bigger bruise on his face.“Get them out of here.”“We’ll give you ten seconds to get out of here. Otherwise, we’ll throw you out,” one of the bodyguards warned.None of the Cowells dared to stay any longer. All of them rushed out of Liam’s office immediately. Never did it cross their minds that something like this would happen. Even Violet herself was left speechless.At first, they were confident that they had become very important people. Alas, Nine Kings proved them wrong by terminating the contract with Bailar.Right at that moment, Violet received two phone calls—both from the newly-appointed management staff she had p

Samantha had prepared a small gift for Cassey that was worth about three hundred dollars.The gift was considered to be a very significant one, especially when Samantha’s financial status was below standards.Cassey simply smiled and said, “You didn’t have to prepare me a gift. I’m happy enough that you’re here.”Cassey accepted the gift and passed it to Mario. “This is a gift from Sam, Mario. Could you please take care of it for me?”Mario smiled and hurled the gift into the trash bin without even looking at its contents, leaving Samantha stunned.She thought Cassey would come up with all sorts of ways to try and gain her attention, so she had not expected Mario to throw away her gift so casually.Next to her, Adrian was frowning away. He already knew that Mario was a downright *sshole the moment he threw their gift away.Cassey pulled at Samantha’s hand and said, “Come on. Let’s go inside. All of our classmates are already here.”Samantha allowed Cassey to pull her along with

Seeing Samantha frown, Cassey said, “Come on. Can’t you show Sam a modicum of respect, Dickson? Go take your seats, everyone.”And with that, everyone took their seats.Samantha remained silent the whole time and was just about to find a place to sit when Mario suddenly walked over and announced, “Everyone, there are some rules to your seating arrangements today. I had a few tables prepared for our former classmates who are doing quite well, you see.“Those with a net worth of a hundred and fifty thousand dollars will sit here while those with seventy thousand dollars or below will sit on the other table over there.“As for the poor peasants, well… They’ll have to sit at the table by the corner.”Mario pointed at a table in the corner of the hall, which was not only really small but also extremely short. It was no more than a few inches tall. Anyone who sat there would still find it too short even if they were to sit on the floor.Many of their former classmates began laughing ou

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
