Violet arrived at New Paraiso with the Cowells. She was clearly agitated.Meanwhile, Samantha, who was busy with the renovation works, spotted Violet rush in with the Cowells and was instantly astonished. She rushed to the ground level of the building without any hesitation.“What brings you here, Grandmother?” Samantha asked when she stood in before Violet.Violet did not answer immediately. She sized up New Paraiso’s building and discovered that it was grander than the Cowell Group’s building.Violet said, “Samantha, you started a new company so quickly. Why didn’t you notify me? Do you not care about this old woman anymore?”Violet took advantage of her seniority and did not feel any shame when she said this.Samantha answered, “I’ve been very busy as of late, Grandmother. Also, the company has yet to start operations so I haven’t notified anyone about it.”“That’s not a good excuse.” Violet let out a grunt.Nathan stepped forward and said angrily, “Samantha, you started a n

The rest of the Cowells were astonished.Francis lay on the ground, trembling uncontrollably. He whimpered continuously because of the pain in his mouth.Then, he started shedding tears. He wanted to cry out loud, yet he discovered that he could not move his lips. He had not expected something like this to happen and he regretted his actions at this very moment.He wanted to speak, yet was utterly incapable of even moving his mouth.“Francis, Francis? How do you feel?” Hugo asked as he helped Francis into a sitting position.Francis could not speak but his eyes were filled with fear as he looked at Adrian.Samantha had not expected Adrian to punch Francis so strongly and her beautiful face turned pale with fear.Violet was shaking at the sight of Francis’ badly battered state.“What did you do, Adrian?!” she roared at him.Adrian clapped his hands together. He did not even glance at Violet as he said, “Haven’t you heard of the saying ‘the one who scolds people has a foul mouth

Samantha had never been so happy.It was a big win in her books that she was capable of getting people from the Battle Warrior Department to attend her company’s opening ceremony.Adrian smiled upon seeing Samantha’s joy. “Sam, successfully inviting people from the Battle Warrior Department means that they think highly of your company.“You have to work hard and steer the company well.”Adrian caressed Samantha’s hair.Samantha nodded in a hopeful manner. “Do you know how happy I am, Adrian? And it’s all thanks to you. If you hadn't encouraged me, I wouldn’t have had the courage to give it a try.”Samantha knew that Adrian’s encouragement to her had facilitated her success.Adrian said, “In truth, at times, the reason behind one’s failure is due to the lack of courage to try.“Sam, it’s New Paraiso’s opening ceremony tomorrow. You should prepare and don’t forget to get yourself a nice outfit. Make sure you look stunning tomorrow!”“Mm-hm, sure!” Samantha said with a smile, “Mo

‘Mr. Adrian?’Samantha was lost for words when she saw how friendly Magnus was being. She shot a glance at the chancellor and thought that he was rather strange.But before she could say anything, Magnus extended his hand toward his office. “Please come in. You must be Mr. Adrian’s wife, right?”Samantha was slightly stunned when Magnus looked at her, not expecting the friendliness he was showing Adrian.She pursed her lips and said, “Hello, Mr. Magnus. My name is Samantha Cowell. I’m Ada’s sister-in-law.”Magnus nodded and gestured for the couple to enter his office.Samantha behaved courteously, but Adrian had already plopped himself on the sofa while Magnus poured them some coffee.“Who’s the guy?” Adrian went straight to the point.Things were going completely differently from what Samantha had imagined. In her mind, she thought that the chancellor would be on the other party’s side and lash out in anger, while she would have to apologize profusely to try and quell the situ

Of course, Adaline knew who she had offended.However, she could no longer tolerate the amount of humiliation Dylan hurled at her, which caused her to retaliate.Adaline started to cry when Samantha reprimanded her. “I’m sorry, Sam. I’m sorry for causing you trouble again.”Samantha shot her an annoyed look.“What do you mean by that? You just stay here and be good. Your brother’s with the chancellor right now. I have no idea how this will be resolved, but he said he’ll handle it. So, there’s nothing for you to worry about,” Samantha consoled.Adaline nodded.Samantha pulled Adaline to a nearby bench where they sat together before continuing their conversation.***Soon, it was four in the afternoon.Adrian was taking a nap in Magnus’ office but was jolted awake by a sudden disturbance before he could wake up naturally.Magnus rushed into his office following the noise.“Bucky brought a few dozen men with him, Mr. Adrian,” he said anxiously.Adrian then stood up and pulled
