Chapter 158
The next day, Leonard and Wilfred met up with Jaden.
They wanted to get him to mobilize the Rivers’ resources to deal with Adrian and Samantha.
Jaden pondered for a bit upon finding out Leonard and Wilfred’s intentions.
He asked, “Mr. Leonard, are you incapable of dealing with someone as lowly as Samantha?”
Leonard and Wilfred sighed upon hearing that.
“Mr. Jaden, it’s not that we’re incapable of dealing with her but our family is affiliated with Adrian to a certain extent. I’m afraid that the others will gossip about us if we were to deal with her,” said Leonard in frustration.
Jaden chuckled. “I understand, Mr. Leonard. So you’re trying to get someone else to take out Samantha, right?
“The thing is, I can’t find it within myself to kill her because she’s so beautiful.”

Leonard said, “Mr. Jaden, Samantha is by no means a great beauty. Swallowston may not have much but there are plenty of beautiful girls here. One less Samantha will be nothing.
Jaden, you’re investing in the Xander Group so you’re considered a member of the family. Do you think that you can figure out a way to help us in this matter?”
Jaden nodded and said, “I can figure out a way for sure. By the way, Mr. Leonard. I’m not really interested in Samantha because I like your daughter, Riley, more.
“I wish to pursue her, Mr. Leonard.”
Riley was considered one of the rare beauties in Swallowston. On top of that, she was still single.
Leonard and Wilfred exchanged a glance upon hearing Jaden’s remark.
Leonard had not expected Jaden to be interested in his daughter.
Meanwhile, Wilfred said softly, “Leonard, Riley will be marrying into an influential family if she marries Mr. Jaden. Our families would be considered in-laws from then on.
“Mr. Jaden is a fine young man too. I think Riley and him will make a good match.”
Leonard pondered for a short while.
Riley had refused to date anyone all this time and she was growing old.
Jaden was the successor of Southnive’s River family and no one from Swallowston could compare to him in status and identity.
Riley would be marrying into an influential family if she could marry Jaden.
Leonard said at once, “So, you have feelings for Riley huh, Mr. Jaden?”
Jaden replied, “That’s right, Mr. Leonard. Part of the reason I’m here is to secure a date with Riley, But I’m worried she won’t be interested in me.”
“Don’t worry, Jaden,” Leonard sald, Tll be at ease if my Riley has a boyfriend like you, Mr. Jaden. How about we fix a time for you to seek permission to marry Riley from the family? I’ll talk to Riley about this.
“What do you think?”
