The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 21

No matter how dumb they were, it was evident what was happening.

That was why Adrian said he could get an invite from the legate because he was legate!

The Cowells lost their minds. They all did.

They stood up and looked at the couple.

Hugo said, “Samantha, here! This way! It’s me, your Uncle Hugo!”

“Sam, look over here!” Francis waved at her too.

Never would they imagine that Adrian was the legate. If they had known, they would not have treated him the way they did.

Violet picked up her cane and waved it at Adrian too. “Adrian, Samantha, it’s your grandmother. I’m over here.”

The Cowells seemed to have forgotten how they treated Samantha before this and all they wanted to do was to get close to her.

However, the couple ignored them.

Mother, we need to speak to Adrian!” Hugo said excitedly.

Violet nodded.

When the Cowells were going to leave their seats and walk over, they were blocked by the crew members.

Meanwhile, on the Xanders’s side.

Harold shook. “My grandson is the war legate! The gods are smiling upon us. Quick. Let’s go talk to him. That’s my grandson!”

When Harold saw Adrian and Samantha, he was delighted. All the Xanders too stood up from their seats to try to get to Adrian.

The crew member blocked them and said, “Please sit down. No one is allowed to leave their seats.”

“Who do you think you are?! That’s my nephew!” Leonard yelled at the crew member.

“Lots of people pretend to be the legate’s relatives. Now, sit down!” the man yelled back as he took out a taser.

Everyone immediately sat down. They were restless as they watched the couple get on stage.

Never would Harold imagine that his own grandson would be the legate. The Xanders would surely become the most important family in Swallowston.

“Quick. Go home and make preparations. We need to invite Adrian over tonight,” Harold barked.

“Okay, Father!” Leonard and Wildred jumped up, then left with the rest of the family.

No one would have believed what was happening if they had not witnessed it for themselves.

Violet, on the other hand, also quickly ordered some of the Cowells to go home and make preparations. She intended to invite Adrian and Samantha over too.

Adrian would never have been treated that way if he was not the legate.

The conference began. Adrian gave a speech and said that Swallow Central was now open for bidding by all the major corporations and that he would be focused on fairness.

After two hours, the conference finally ended.

The guests slowly left the venue.

That afternoon, Daniel personally drove an armored car and drove Adrian and Samantha away from Swallow Central back to their home. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

During the journey, Samantha still felt like she was in a dream.

Adrian smiled and said, “How was that, Sam? Did I surprise you?”

Samantha turned to look at him. She had to admit that he did give her a huge surprise. She sighed, then nodded. “You did. I feel like I’m in a dream. Adrian, I want a divorce.”
