The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 497

Despite her denial, Joanna was, in fact, swayed deep inside.

However, she was not going to act on her feelings since there were too many things she could not change at that point—Jimmy murdering Abigail for example!

‘The Drakes will no doubt be furious when they find out, and Father’s going to receive the brunt of their wrath when that happens.’

Adrian and his family sat down for dinner after they were done discussing the topic.

Rue made a single bowl of chicken soup for Samantha, while an envious Adaline was only able to watch on.

Samantha was clearly the one most well taken care of in the family at the moment. After all, she was carrying Adrian’s child.

While they were having dinner, the sound of engine roars could be heard outside all of a sudden. Then, glaringly bright lights from several pairs of headlights shone into the house, lighting up the entire place. Despite their best efforts, Jewel Road’s security personnel had failed to stop the cars from entering Adrian’s compound.

What followed was the sound of car doors slamming shut. “They’re here,” Adrian said as he looked at Joanna.

Without a doubt, it was Patrick DuPont outside their doorstep. Joanna immediately panicked and had no idea what to do.

Adrian said, “I'll help you resolve all your problems tonight.”

He then stood up and headed outside as Joanna followed behind him.

Meanwhile, Samantha, Adaline, Juno, and Rue stood by the door and watched as more than fifty people gathered outside. Patrick, who was in a suit, was accompanied by Jimmy and a heavily made-up Rosie.

The men surrounded Adrian and Joanna, while Patrick, Jimmy, and Rosie walked toward them. Jimmy had a huge smile on his face, pleased with himself after having his way with Abigail. On top of that, he now had Patrick by his side, which made him feel invincible.

Adrian looked at the people around him before looking at Patrick. Calmly, he said, “You seem to be very proud of yourself after forcing your daughter to the brink of a mental breakdown. There's one thing I just don’t understand... What is it that makes you so proud of yourself?”Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

‘Just look at him being all proud of himself, thinking he’s oh-so powerful. Why in the world would he feel proud about pushing his own daughter down to Hell?”

Meanwhile, Patrick was determined to take Joanna back with him that night.

“I’m warning you. Stay out of my business or you'll end up dead!” Patrick threatened.

“Exactly! Stay out of our way and let us take Joanna back with us, you ignorant fool. Now, come back with us, Joanna!” Jimmy’s mother, Rosie, said.

Joanna quickly hid behind Adrian when she heard this, causing Jimmy to lash out in anger and said, “Dmn you, you btch! Get your *ss here right now!”

"In fact, Jimmy thought he looked extremely cool as he yelled at the top of his lungs and put on what he thought was a mighty look on his face."
