The Return of the War Legate by Celestial Clouds

Chapter 13

Meanwhile, at the Cowells’.

The Cowells used to be an affluent family in Swallowston. But after John passed away, Violet took over the family affairs and caused the family to go from an upstanding family to a low-class one.

Violet Barker was an arrogant, self-centered woman who loved to look down on people. 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. The legate will be there to chair the investment conference. They’ve already sent out invitations. Do any of you have any idea how to get an invite for the family?”

Even though Violet was old, she was daft.

Swallow Central was set to be the most happening place in Swallowston and where all the businesses and trades will happen. If the Cowell Group owned by Cowells wanted to expand, they needed to secure a spot there.

After she asked the question, everyone looked at each other.

“Mother, we’re only a small company. I don’t think Swallow Central’s management will consider us. It won’t be easy to get an invitation.” Nathan sighed.
