The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 73

To Samantha, this was the success she needed to change Bailar for the better.

She had successfully secured a contract with Swallow Central for four million and five hundred thousand dollars and won a contract with Nine Kings. So, of course, she was over the moon. NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

Adrian smiled and stroked Samantha’s hair. “Congratulations.”

Samantha wiped away her tears and looked upwards to calm herself. Then, she held Adrian’s hand and said, “Okay, let’s go.”

Adrian nodded.

The couple left Nine Kings and headed back to Bailar, with Samantha taking the wheel.

On the way, she began thinking about everything that had just happened. She had not expected Nine Kings to be so gracious as to accept Bailar, to which she was left feeling that something was amiss.

“Adrian, I’ve been curious about something, but I’m not sure if you’ve realized it.”

“What is it?” Adrian asked.

Samantha twirled her hair.

“Aren’t you curious why Nine Kings would award me a contract? After all, there are so many other companies that are much stronger than Bailar. Why would Liam choose mine?”

Samantha felt suspicious that Nine Kings would choose Bailar out of so many others.

Adrian simply smiled and said, “Have you forgotten what General Daniel told you, sweetheart?”

Samantha was slightly startled.

“He said he was going to give you a slot in Swallow Central. So, if I’m not mistaken, he’s the one who’s made arrangements with Nine Kings on your behalf.”

Samantha was gradually able to accept the situation.

“I suppose you’re right,” she said.

“I know I am,” Adrian corrected.

“Fine, you’re right. I really should thank General Daniel for his help.”

Adrian merely smiled without replying.

Adrian and Samantha arrived back at Bailar.

Samantha began asking Nina, her secretary, to make arrangements for their partnership with Nine Kings. On top of that, Bailar would also begin settling in Swallow Central’s Block D building in accordance with their agreement.

With the help of Nine Kings, Bailar would be able to open up a chain at Swallow Central. Plus, a huge batch of clothes would be shipped to the building to be sold very soon. When that happens, Swallow

Central would become the most happening place in Swallowston.

Samantha ended up working the entire day.

By the evening, the Cowell Mansion had received word that Bailar was to settle down in Swallow Central and had been awarded a partnership with Nine Kings.

Violet was in the living room, sitting on the sofa. Suddenly, Nathan rushed in with an urgent expression on his face. “Mother, Mother! Something huge happened to the family!”

He seemed really anxious.

“What’s with this nonsensical behavior, Nathan?” Violet scowled when she saw how nervous her son looked.

Meanwhile, Clara and Francis both turned to look at Nathan.

Clara then said, “What’s the matter, Father? You seem anxious.”

“She’s right, Uncle. What could possibly happen to our family to merit such a huge response?” Francis asked.
