The Return of the War Legate by Celestial Clouds novel Chapter 15

Had Adrian’s call really made the war legate send an invitation to the Cowells?

“Thanks to the legate. Thank you, General Summers.”

Violet gazed at the invitation. Her tears started falling as she put out her hand to accept it.

Daniel nodded and said, “Everyone here is invited. We’ll reserve seats for you. Have a good day.”

“Please see General Summers off,” Violet said.

Hugo and Nathan escorted Daniel out.

Everyone’s eyes were glued to the invitation as if they were in a collective dream.

“Grandmother, this is a genuine invitation!” Francis excitedly said.

“It is. The legate actually gave us an invitation!”

“The gods are smiling on us. We’re on the road to becoming one of the richest families in Swallowston!” Violet looked up and gave her thanks to the Heavens.

Samantha looked at Adrian in shock. Had this invitation really come because of his call?

However, Simon suddenly said, “Congratulations, Grandmother. Truth be told, before coming over, my father contacted the legate to ask for one of these. I thought we were going to fail, but I guess Father managed to pull it off.”

Simon took all the credit and spoke as if that was the truth.

Violet was surprised when she heard this. She thought it was Adrian who had gotten them the invitation.

“Simon, your father was the one who asked for this invitation?” she asked.

Simon nodded. “Yes, my father is well acquainted with General Summers. The general must have made a call to the legate this morning. My father was the one who got the invitation.”

“That’s amazing, Simon!” Nathan was delighted.

Simon was Nathan’s future son-in-law, so he was elated at how capable Simon was.

Everyone present was even more impressed by Simon.

Clara smiled and said, “That’s my fiance. Unlike some other guy who pretended to have gotten an invitation. He was overreaching.”

Clara scoffed at Samantha and mocked Adrian.

The Cowells believed that Simon’s father was the one who had gotten them this invitation and it had nothing to do with Adrian.

Violet fully believed in Simon as she gave off a motherly smile. “My good grandson-in-law. From today onwards, you’ll be the head of the Cowell Group.

“All right, that’s all for today. We’ll attend next week’s investment conference.”

Violet walked away with her cane. Once she was inside the house, Clara, Simon, and Francis went in happily too.

Clara chuckled. “Samantha, wasn’t your piece of trash husband going to get an invitation for us? Where is it?”

Simon joined in. “You’re such a liar.”
