The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 24

“Grandmother, what brings you here?”

Samantha immediately stood up when she saw Violet enter.

Other than Violet, Nathan, Hugo, and a few others from the family were there too, and they were excited. Violet spoke, “Samantha, do you still hate me? It’s all my fault, I shouldn’t have treated you the way I did.” Violet started with an apology, but it felt odd to Samantha, but she suddenly understood what was going on. It was because Violet thought she was the legate’s wife. Violet and the rest did not know the truth yet. “Samantha, we’re all sorry. Please forgive us.” Nathan looked at her and was visibly agitated.

Hugo spoke up too, “Yes, Samantha, I never would’ve guessed that Adrian was the legate and that you’re the legate’s wife. Please don’t hold a grudge.”

The Cowells knew that they had treated Samantha badly. To seem sincere, Violet spoke again,” Samantha, I’ve decided to let you take over the Cowell Group. I won’t be worried if Adrian is helping you.” She then looked toward Adrian. “Adrian, my good grandson–in–law, please don’t be upset with me.

The Cowells‘ true colors were showing.

Adaline and Rue felt awkward upon hearing those words. After finding out that Adrian was an important person, the Cowells changed their attitude toward him. What happened to dignity?

“I’m sorry for making you feel happy for no reason. Adrian is, in fact, not the legate.” Samantha did not want to ruin their dream, but she did not have the heart to lie to them.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Violet was surprised. Nathan and Hugo looked at each other, then Nathan smiled and said, “Samantha, I know we’ve been terrible to you, but we’re sorry. Please don’t be angry with us.”

They thought Samantha was lying to them, but she shook her head. “I’m not angry at you. It’s the truth. Adrian is not the legate. He’s just a hired actor. Read the announcement if you don’t believe me.” Hugo and Nathan felt suspicious, so they took out their phones and did just that.

After reading the announcement, Nathan was shocked. “The war legate and his wife who appeared today at the Swallow Central investment conference were hired actors to help promote Swallow Central as the war legate…”

Nathan was stunned. “What?”

Violet was shocked too. “Show it to me.”

Violet took the phone and her face fell. It was fake news. Adrian was not the legate. He was just hired by Daniel to play the part.

“Scum!” Violet yelled.

She had been tricked. She suddenly felt ill and chastised them, “Samantha, Adrian, how could me? You… You…”

you trick

Violet pointed at them, her true intent showing. She was only nice to Samantha because Adrian was the legate. But now, it turned out that he was not.

“Disgusting. We really thought you were the legate, but you’re just an actor!” Nathan spat.

Hugo’s expression instantly changed too.
