Clara and Francis were her favorite grandchildren, but she loathed Samantha.There was a family meeting underway at the Cowell’s. Violet was hosting in the living room.Samantha’s eldest uncle, Nathan Cowell, her second uncle, Hugo Cowell, Hugo’s son, Francis Cowell, and many other family members were in attendance.Clara was there with a swollen face. The reason for the meeting was to discuss Swallow Central.Violet said, “I just got word that Swallow Central will start letting companies bid for a spot in a week.

“Wow, your family’s famous!”“You’re so different from that piece of trash.”“Yes, you’re so much better than him.”Everyone started licking Simon’s boots after he said that and compared him to Adrian.When Simon heard this, he became even smugger and smirked at Adrian.Simon said, “The legate will personally be there, so everyone in the upper-class circle is paying a lot of attention to the conference. I heard that Battle Warrior Lucas will be escorting him. Not everyone has the opportunity to get an invitation.”All the Cowells took a sharp intake of breath. The legate and the Battle Warriors were extremely important figures. Getting an invitation would be the biggest achievement for the Cowells.Nathan said, “Simon, do you think your family can get an invitation for our family too?”Everyone agreed upon hearing this.Hugo said, “Yes, Simon. You’re my brother’s son-in-law, and your family is prominent in Swallowston. If your father asked for it, we could probably get an invi

Had Adrian’s call really made the war legate send an invitation to the Cowells?“Thanks to the legate. Thank you, General Summers.”Violet gazed at the invitation. Her tears started falling as she put out her hand to accept it.Daniel nodded and said, “Everyone here is invited. We’ll reserve seats for you. Have a good day.”“Please see General Summers off,” Violet said.Hugo and Nathan escorted Daniel out.Everyone’s eyes were glued to the invitation as if they were in a collective dream.“Grandmother, this is a genuine invitation!” Francis excitedly said.“It is. The legate actually gave us an invitation!”“The gods are smiling on us. We’re on the road to becoming one of the richest families in Swallowston!” Violet looked up and gave her thanks to the Heavens.Samantha looked at Adrian in shock. Had this invitation really come because of his call?However, Simon suddenly said, “Congratulations, Grandmother. Truth be told, before coming over, my father contacted the legate t

That night, Samantha went home straight after finishing work at Bailar.As usual, dinner was ready at home.“Mother, is Adrian back?” Samantha asked once she got home.After leaving the Cowells’, she went to sit in her office and pondered for a long time. She knew that she had gone overboard by leaving Adrian on the streets. He was, after all, her husband.Adrian had said all that to protect her, so when she did not see him home, she grew curious. She was afraid that he would leave again.Rue replied, “He’s making dinner in the kitchen. He made everything here.”Adrian walked out of the kitchen as Rue was saying that.Upon seeing him, Samantha sighed in relief, but she was disappointed because all her husband knew was to cook.“Go wash your hands. It’s time for dinner,” he said to her, but she gave no reply.Everyone sat down and started having dinner, but Adaline suddenly said, “Sam, I heard that Swallow Central is almost ready to be opened to the public and that the legate w

Everyone looked toward Adrian.There was a three-second pause followed by an explosion of laughter.“Haha! Adrian, you trash! You’re such a funny man!” Francis held his stomach as he pointed at Adrian with tears of laughter rolling down his cheeks.All the Cowells laughed uproariously.Simon chastised Adrian, “You said that you were going to get an invitation for the Cowells, but I was the one who ended up getting it. You just love to lie!”Clara added, “You’re so funny. You, the piece of trash, can get Samantha into the investment conference? What a joke!”Adaline closed her eyes because she was speechless. Adrian making an outrageous lie like that would just make everyone laugh at him.Samantha was disappointed again. She felt terrible for leaving Adrian on the streets earlier, but it seemed that he had not learned his lesson.‘Go on. Laugh. I’ll enjoy the look on your faces on that day,’ Adrian thought.The laughter finally stopped, then the Cowells looked at him.Simon sa

No one knew what was on her mind.Adrian, on the other hand, had left home early in the morning. Even Samantha had no idea where he had gone.“What’s on your mind, Sam?” Rue saw her spacing out on the couch and asked.Samantha looked at Rue and replied, “Mother, something feels off today. I feel as if something big is going to happen. My eyelid keeps twitching.

Everyone agreed with Nathan. If Samantha was shameless enough, she could get in by pretending to be a Cowell.If she went in with Adrian, they would be so ashamed.Violet rushed to the front desk and asked the receptionist and security guard. “If a woman named Samantha Cowell tries to get in saying that she’s with the Cowell family, do not let her enter.”After they said okay, she went in with the rest of the family. Right before stepping in, she reminded everyone. “Behave yourselves. Everyone here is important.”“Don’t worry, Grandmother. We won’t be humiliated as long as Samantha doesn't get in.” Clara smiled.Violet nodded and went in.***At the conference venue, the rooftop garden.The affluent families of Swallonston were there.

Samantha was shaking. Everything that was happening was like a dream. She was still shocked. She finally understood that she was not the CEO of the House of Bailar today, but the wife of the famous war legate. All eyes were on her. She turned around and saw Adrian coming down from the other chopper. He was in military uniform and looked grand—exuding an outstanding demeanor. The venue quieted down after the crew members stepped in. No one spoke but everyone was excitedly looking at Adrian and Samantha. Some of them were even jealous.Samantha turned around and looked toward the crowd. She knew that she was the main character of the day and everyone was there to see her.
