“Grandmother, what brings you here?”
Samantha immediately stood up when she saw Violet enter.
Other than Violet, Nathan, Hugo, and a few others from the family were there too, and they were excited.
Violet spoke, “Samantha, do you still hate me? It’s all my fault, I shouldn’t have treated you the way I did.”
Violet started with an apology, but it felt odd to Samantha, but she suddenly understood what was going on. It was because Violet thought she was the legate’s wife. Violet and the rest did not know the truth yet.
“Samantha, we're all sorry. Please forgive us.” Nathan looked at her and was visibly agitated.
Hugo spoke up too, “Yes, Samantha. I never would’ve guessed that Adrian was the legate and that you’re the legate’s wife. Please don’t hold a grudge.”
The Cowells knew that they had treated Samantha badly. To seem sincere, Violet spoke again, “Samantha, I’ve decided to let you take over the Cowell Group. I won’t be worried if Adrian is helping you.”
She then looked toward Adrian. “Adrian, my good grandson-in-law, please don’t be upset with me.”
The Cowells’ true colors were showing.
Adaline and Rue felt awkward upon hearing those words. After finding out that Adrian was an important person, the Cowells changed their attitude toward him. What happened to dignity?
“I’m sorry for making you feel happy for no reason. Adrian is, in fact, not the legate.” Samantha did not want to ruin their dream, but she did not have the heart to lie to them.
