The Return of the War Legate by Celestial Clouds novel Chapter 19

Everyone agreed with Nathan. If Samantha was shameless enough, she could get in by pretending to be a Cowell.

If she went in with Adrian, they would be so ashamed.

Violet rushed to the front desk and asked the receptionist and security guard. “If a woman named Samantha Cowell tries to get in saying that she’s with the Cowell family, do not let her enter.”

After they said okay, she went in with the rest of the family. Right before stepping in, she reminded everyone. “Behave yourselves. Everyone here is important.”

“Don’t worry, Grandmother. We won’t be humiliated as long as Samantha doesn't get in.” Clara smiled.

Violet nodded and went in.

At the conference venue, the rooftop garden.

The affluent families of Swallonston were there. All of them were well-known throughout the city.

People from the top four families were there too.

Two choppers were waiting on both sides of the venue. The legate and his wife would each fly into the venue in one of these choppers.

People standing in the rooftop garden were able to see that the building was surrounded. Six rows of soldiers working under Battle Warrior Lucas surrounded Swallow Central. Twenty armored vehicles were parked there.

The scene was majestic!

“Respect. This is all because of respect.” The Cowells grew excited upon seeing the place. Nathan spoke first because he was in awe of the scene.

Clara had never seen anything like this before, so she was giddy. “Samantha will never get the chance to see anything like this. The Cowells are respected here.”

“Clara is right. There are so many important figures here. It’s so lively. We’re going to meet the legate too. I’m just excited!” Francis started shaking.

This was not a chance just anyone would get.

Violet was just as excited. She too had never experienced anything like this before. She felt that her family was getting closer and closer to being affluent.

“Look! General Summers is coming!” someone suddenly said out loud.

Everyone stood up as Daniel walked in with a dozen men. Everyone started greeting him.

This made them even more thrilled. It was as if they had been injected with adrenaline.

“Ladies and gentlemen.” Daniel walked over, signaling for everyone to quiet down.

Everyone took their seats and waited for him to speak.

“Today is a grand day. Battle Warrior Lucas is already here, and the legate and his wife will be arriving in choppers soon. Please remain calm.”

Everyone cheered after he said that. All the families there, including the Cowells, were elated.

Meanwhile, Harold was seated with the rest of the Xanders and they were taking everything in.

He shook excitedly. For the Xanders, the chance for their family to soar was here.

Everyone there started cheering.

Meanwhile, Samantha, Rue, and Adaline followed Derek through the VIP walkway. Samantha still had no idea what was happening.
