The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 79

Through painstaking efforts, Bailar got the chance to rise again, yet it was seized by the Cowells.

To Samantha, losing the company was losing her only opportunity to succeed. But what else could she do now?

She shut her eyes as she lay in Adrian’s arms. She did not want to think or do anything.

“Come on, get up.” Adrian caressed her hair.

Samantha’s red eyes brimmed with tears. She did not wish to move.

Adrian said, “Sam, forget about what happened for now. Just trust me. I have my ways to handle the situation.” Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Samantha raised her head and said in a hoarse voice, “Ways? What ways do you have? If you had your ways, you wouldn’t have

let the Cowells take Bailar.”

“They’ll return it in the same way they took it. Don’t worry,” Adrian comforted her.

It would be useless for him to explain further at this point.

Samantha inhaled deeply. She made up her mind to deal with the situation. Then, she said, “Let go of me. I’m fine. I’m going to get ready to attend Cassey’s wedding.

“Frankly, I don’t want to go. This is your fault for accepting her invitation.”

Samantha was rather frustrated.

Adrian loosened his grip over Samantha. He got up from the bed and stretched.

He had accepted Cassey’s wedding invitation so that Samantha could prove herself. He did not explain further his reasoning

either.

“Get out so that I can get changed.” Samantha kicked Adrian out of her room.

Even though Adrian wanted to see Samantha undress, he did not have the courage to cause trouble in view of his wife’s anger. He could only leave the room obediently.

Adrian sat on the sofa in the living room and waited for a while. It did not take long before Samantha stepped out.

She wore a light blue skirt with high heels and had on light makeup. She looked alluring, mature, and sexy. Her legs were especially fetching under the short skirt.

She was simply exquisite.

Adrian could not refrain from taking a few extra glances. His wife was so attractive.

“Why are you staring at me?” said Samantha in a displeased tone after noticing Adrian’s gaze.

Then, she said, “Let’s go.”

Adrian nodded and followed Samantha out the door.

Samantha informed Rue and left with Adrian.

The pair had just stepped out of the house when Samantha’s phone rang. It was Cassey. She was afraid that Samantha would not show up.

Cassey started speaking the moment the call was picked up. “It’s getting late, Sam. Everyone’s here and waiting for you. Will you be here soon? You’re not going to be a no–show, right?”

Cassey’s tone was filled with mockery. Moreover, she revealed that she invited Samantha to her wedding so she could make fun of Samantha.

Samantha would need to show up now if she wanted to prove herself.

She answered, “I’ll be there soon, Cass. I’m already on my way.”

“All right. It’s at the Swallowston Hotel. We’re all waiting for you. Remember to come in an evening dress!”

Upon saying that, Cassey hung up the call.

‘An evening dress?‘

Samantha had never worn an evening dress because she did not have one.

Hence, Samantha was wearing a plain short skirt with a top. However, the simple attire did not diminish her charm or beauty.
