The Return of the War Legate by Celestial Clouds novel Chapter 25

The Cowells’ true colors were showing.

Samantha’s heart ached when she saw Violet’s change in attitude. She lowered her head because she was once again disappointed by her grandmother.

Adaline could not stand seeing this and said, “Old hag, who was trying to trick you? My brother was just trying to make some money. We didn’t do it for you. Aren’t you ashamed of saying such things?”

“Be quiet, Ada…” Rue quickly held her daughter back because of how rude she was.

Samantha covered her mouth. She looked at Violet in disappointment. “Grandmother, Adrian didn’t lie to you. General Summers agreed to pay him a fee. Ada needs money for her tuition, so—”

“Enough. What does Ada’s tuition have anything to do with me?” Violet cut her off. “I’m giving you three days to return Bailar to us, or we’ll see you in court.”

She just said she would allow Samantha to take over the Cowell Group, and she instantly changed her mind.

It was hard to cover one’s true intentions.

After hearing this, Samantha broke down.

“Grandmother, Bailar is my life. If we lose it, the Xanders will have a tough time surviving. Please give us a chance. Please, Grandmother,” Samantha begged as tears streamed down her face.

Her grandmother had treated her like a dog ever since she married Adrian. Violet loved power and also loved to look down on people, but she never really considered if she was a capable person herself.

Samantha’s begging did not earn her any sympathy from Violet. “Your family is not my business. I want Bailar. If you refuse to return it, I won’t play nice.”
