The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 74

Nathan frantically waved his hands and said, “Mother, I just heard the news myself. Have you guys seen Nine Kings‘ recent post?

“Samantha’s Bailar is going to settle down in Swallow Central. Plus, she’s managed to bag a contract with Nine Kings worth four million and five hundred thousand dollars!” Nathan said excitedly.

“What?!” Violet was dumbfounded when she heard this, while all of the Cowells were too stunned to

speak.

‘Bailar will be in Swallow Central?‘

‘That’s impossible!‘

‘Not even we are eligible to do such a thing, so how did Samantha manage such a feat?‘

Hugo, Violet’s second eldest son, said, “Is this true, Nathan?”

“Without a doubt. Check Nine Kings‘ latest post. They’re promoting this piece of news right now!”

A few of them took out their phones to verify this, to which they were all left stunned.

Nine Kings had announced that their contracts for the three hundred million dollar project had been completely distributed, with Bailar being awarded four hundred and five hundred thousand dollars.

Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.

Clara then said, “H–How’s this possible? Samantha and Adrian are both deadbeats, so how did they get a spot in Swallow Central? Not even the Blacks are eligible to do so!”

“She’s right. I smell something fishy going on here,” Simon nodded in agreement.

The Blacks were considered to be a pretty influential family in Swallowston, yet they were not worthy enough of a spot in Swallow Central.

‘A measly company like Bailar being allowed to set up shop there? That’s just bullsh*t!‘ Simon thought.

Nathan said, “Mother, Bailar getting a spot has become a fact now, so there’s no point in thinking whether something’s fishy about it or not.

“However, Bailar belongs to the Cowells after all, so why should we allow Samantha to hog all the glory?”

Violet pondered silently for a moment.

‘If Bailar gets into Swallow Central, there’s a huge chance it will grow to become a huge company in Swallowston. There might even be a chance for it to become listed. After all, Swallow Central will become the busiest place in Swallowston.

‘If Bailar is able to successfully build up its fashion market, it wouldn’t be a dream for it to rake in tens of thousands of dollars worth of sales per day. Yet, Samantha will be keeping all these profits to herself.“‘ This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

Violet then said, “But Samantha’s already given us seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars and we promised we wouldn’t cause Bailar any more trouble.”

This was something Violet came to regret immensely. ‘I wouldn’t have taken her money if I had known this was going to happen.‘

At that moment, Clara laughed and said, “But Grandmother, Ballar belongs to the family. Samantha may have paid us, but it’s barely enough to repay you for raising her this far. So, at the end of the day, Bailar is still ours!”

The Cowells laughed heartily when they heard this. There was no way they were going to sit back and watch as Bailar moved into Swallow Central without gaining anything in return.

Francis said excitedly, “Clara is right, Grandmother. Bailar does indeed belong to the family. You should consider that money Samantha gave you as repayment for raising her.

“In other words, Bailar entering Swallow Central means that our family is about to grow by leaps and bounds!”

Everyone present was getting excited. Their greedy expressions gave away their desperate yearning to reclaim Bailar. After all, Bailar entering Swallow Central marked the beginning of its rise to glory.

At that moment, Violet fell silent once more as she processed what Clara had said.

After a long while, she said, “The children are right. Bailar belongs to the family. It belongs to the Cowells. I won’t make it easy for Samantha to hog all the profits.”
