The Return of the War Legate by Celestial Clouds

Chapter 7

It was better if Adrian had kept silent.

After he spoke, Samantha was outraged. She slapped him and anxiously said, “Do you think you’re the war legate? Ask General Summers to settle this. Who do you think you are?”

Rue was crying, and Adaline turned around to hide her tears. If Celine found out that they were fighting at Alyanz Tower, she would surely not let Adrian get away.

“Sam, put your trust in me,” Adrian said to her.

“Why should I?” She looked at him as tears welled up in her eyes. She never thought that Adrian would be so impulsive that he would start a fight here.

There was no time to think. Samantha quickly said to Rue, “Mother, Ada, bring Adrian home. I’ll go in on my own.

“I’m just one woman, I don’t think Celine will do anything to me.”

She thought that was the only way out.

Rue was nervous. “Sam, just let this go. Let’s all go home.”

“Sam, we won’t be able to remain calm if you go in there alone. We should just give the company to them,” Adaline tried to advise.

But the company was everything to Samantha. She shook her head. “No, I have to go. Take Adrian and go, I—”

But before she could finish, Adrian started walking into the building.

Samantha and Rue lost their minds.

Adaline yelled, “Are you trying to get yourself killed? Come back here!”

Adrian ignored them and continued walking. When Samantha saw this, she sighed and gave up. “Fine, let’s go in.”
