The Return of the War Legate by Celestial Clouds

Chapter 159
Leonard and Wilfred returned to Xander Manor after meeting Jaden.
They told Harold how the meeting went.
Harold pondered for a long while upon learning about the situation before saying, “Since Adrian is so charmed by that she-devil that he’s under her spell, we shall follow Jaden’s proposal.
“I’d like to see if Adrian will still have the courage to go against me when Samantha is dead.”
Harold’s expression was cold and filled with anger.
Over the next few days, Samantha was extremely busy with the company, working till late every day.
She had many matters to attend to now including, managing the operations, handling employee recruitment, as well as attending business negotiations.
Adrian, other than his occasional stroll outside, spent most of his time keeping Samantha company.

This morning, Samantha had breakfast and was packing up to head to the company when she received a text message. She glanced at the screen and discovered that the message was from Leonard.
It read, “Samantha, I would like to meet you in person to discuss you and Adrian.”
Samantha was astonished that Leonard had texted her. After all, he was Adrian’s uncle. She assumed. that he wanted to eliminate the enmity between him and Adrian.
Hence, Samantha replied, “When would you like to meet? Shall I head to Xander Manor?”
Leonard sent, “Let’s talk now. You don’t have to come to Xander Manor. Head to Swallowston Business Hotel instead and I’ll meet you there.”
Samantha stopped to consider for a moment at this point. Her company was not as important as her family. It would be great for her if she could help to eliminate the enmity between Adrian and the Xanders.
It was much better to have one extra family member than an enemy.
Samantha replied, “Okay. I’m on my way now.”
Leonard texted, “Come alone. Don’t let Adrian come with you. You know what his temper is like. He gets triggered so easily and beats up people.”
Samantha recalled how Adrian broke Cedric’s ribs and came to realize that she could not allow him to come with her.
She did not consider it further because Leonard was Adrian’s uncle while she was Adrian’s wife. She believed that Leonard would not hurt his nephew’s wife.
Soon, Samantha arrived at the Swallowston Business Hotel.
Swallowston Business Hotel was the biggest hotel in Swallowston.
Samantha headed upstairs upon her arrival and sent a text asking for Leonard’s location.
Leonard soon replied, “I’m caught in traffic. Wait for me for a bit.”
