The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 28



Chapter 28

At that moment, Violet was sitting in the living room, chairing a family meeting

When the Cowells learned that Adrian was not the legate and heard his offer to repay what Samantha previously loaned, they were all smiles.

Clara said, “Adrian is just a useless man who’s really good at lying. He’s going to pay back seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars? Where’s he going to get the money from?”

“Exactly. Is he going to go around begging for it, or is he going to sell Samantha?” Francis chuckled.

Violet, not wanting to add to the ridicule, simply said, “As long as he keeps his word. If he doesn’t, I won’t let this go.

Clara smirked. “Grandmother, are you going to believe that piece of trash? If he can get the money, pigs will fly.”

“Exactly. If Adrian procures the money, I’ll kneel to him. I’m waiting for him to prove me wrong.” Francis smirked too.

The other Cowells agreed. To them, Adrian producing seven hundred and fifty thousand was far more impossible than him sprouting wings.

However, a voice was heard. “Francis, I’m afraid you’ll have to kneel. The grandmother of the person who doesn’t kneel will die!”

Adrian and Samantha walked in.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Francis Cowell immediately lost his cool and yelled at them, “Adrian, did you really bring the money?! You’re just a piece of trash and are scum!”

“Didn’t you say you would kneel if I did?” Adrian paused and smiled at Francis.

If he did not admit to what he said, it would be a slap on his own face, so Francis said, “So what if I did? If you really brought the money, I’ll immediately get on my knees.”

Clara scoffed. “The problem is, someone probably doesn’t even have seventy–five dollars.”

“Hahaha!” Everyone laughed.

Adrian said, “Once I show the money, the grandmother of the person who doesn’t kneel will die.”

He stared at Francis icily.

Violet’s face fell when Adrian said this, while Francis looked awkward. However, to prove that he was a man of his word, Francis said, “Sure, but if you can’t, your entire family will die!”

“I’m sorry to disappoint you then.” Adrian opened the briefcases and poured all the money on the floor.

Everyone was shocked to see this.

Violet shook and froze on the spot.

Samantha spoke, “Grandmother, here are seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars. No more, no less. Count it if you want to. Once you take the money, Bailar will no longer be associated with you.”

“I–Is this real money?!”

“Goodness! Where did you get so much money from?!”

“I don’t think I’ve ever seen so much money in my life!” The Cowells started getting excited when they

saw all the money on the floor.

Even though the Cowells used to be an affluent family, Violet had always been in control of the Cowell Group.

Each family member would only receive some dividends, but it did not make them millionaires. They were so excited they seemed to have gone nuts.

Francis froze on the spot.

Clara was shocked.

Hugo and Nathan’s jaws dropped, and even Violet was astonished.
