Heiress Returns Family Shocks (Nina Swanson) novel Chapter 199

Chapter 199

Chapter 199

On their wedding night, James was set on sleeping in a separate room, but Vivian spiked his drink.

He blacked out completely that night, and when he came to, he realized Vivian had already taken advantage of him.

After that, Vivian got pregnant with Martin.

James absolutely detested Vivian, and he resented Martin even more.

So when Martin was born, James didn’t spare him a single glance.

James knew Vivian was always scheming, so he was afraid she’d drug him again. He spent most of his time at the office, only coming home after Vivian had fallen asleep.

But even with all his precautions, he still ended up falling for her tricks several more times.

He had no clue how Vivian kept drugging him. He was always on edge. He wouldn’t even touch a glass of water at home, but she always found a way to get past his guard.

Strangest of all, every time Vivian drugged him and slept with him, she’d always end up pregnant.

James started to get suspicious, so he secretly had paternity tests done on all the kids. Turned out, every single one was actually his kid.

That just made things even more confusing.

Over the years, Vivian used that video to keep bleeding James for cash and sent it all back to her folks.

As for the Lowell family, they started out as a small-time clan, but now they’d managed to secure a foothold in Riverdale. They were still not on the Swanson family’s level, but they’d definitely earned a place in the city.

Sarah looked at James, seeing the defeat written all over his face, and her heart ached for him.

Of all her children, James was the most mature, the one she never had to worry about. He always kept his struggles to himself, and even now, with something this huge happening, he still didn’t want his family to worry.

Now, Sarah finally understood why James couldn’t bring himself to love his kids.

If anyone else were in his shoes, they’d probably feel the same way.

Sarah sat in silence for a long time before finally saying, “Tomorrow, I’ll go talk to them myself. I’m willing to pay the 30 million. But there’s no way I’m handing over the formula.

“If they agree, we’ll pay the 30 million and get that video back. If they refuse, we’ll come up with another plan.”

In Frontierland.

In the middle of the Wasteland Basin, which stretches for over 600 miles, stands a dark building. Several helicopters touched down on the helipad inside the compound.

Half an hour later, a military-grade SUV came tearing in, pulled off a slick drift, and slid to a perfect stop right inside the compound.

Nina tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear, pushed open the car door, and stepped out with confidence.

“Boss, welcome back!” The whole squad, dressed in black, stood at attention in two lines, greeting Nina with disciplined respect.

Nina paused for a moment as she stepped out of the car, her cold eyes sweeping over the team. She smirked slightly, and

then strode forward.

A man with a serious, clean-cut face walked in. The instant he saw Nina, his whole demeanor changed. His face lit up as he threw his arms wide and laughed, “Hey, I missed you like crazy!”

But just as he was about to hug Nina, she stopped him with a foot to his stomach. “When was the last time you took a shower?”

Nina’s face was full of disdain.

This guy was Grey Eagle, top dog at the Xenith Alliance.

He basically controlled all the business in Frontierland.

He was so loaded that he couldn’t even spend all his money if he tried.

Grey Eagle was the kind of guy who never showed mercy.

But when it came to personal hygiene, he just couldn’t care less.

Still, when it came to his friends, he’d go to hell and back for them.

Grey Eagle was the one who got those two motorcycles Nina had for her.

Grey Eagle looked a little embarrassed. “Uh, maybe… just a week?”

Nina was speechless.

She thought, ‘A week?

‘Just a week?

‘Seriously? He actually said that out loud!’

“Kairo, don’t bother with him. This punk’s just doing it on purpose,” a booming voice called out.
