The Return of the War Legate by Celestial Clouds novel Chapter 49

Samantha put on the Heart of the Sea, which was the only piece of jewelry she had received over the years.

‘It doesn’t matter if it’s expensive or not. What matters is that Adrian’s the one who gave it to me.’

The dining table remained silent for the rest of the morning.

After that, Adrian and Samantha headed to Bailar together.

The company was on the brink of extinction, which was why Samantha had been coming up with ways to bolster the company.

As they arrived and Samantha sat down in her office, her assistant immediately walked in.

The assistant’s name was Nina Williams. She had been working for Samantha since Bailar was founded and was in charge of its operations.

Samantha had a bad feeling when she saw Nina walking in. In an exhausted tone, she said, “Go on. What is it?”

Nina heaved a sigh and said, “The company’s been continuing to run at a loss, and many major banks are asking us to pay up on the loans. We have three days tops before they step in and take over the company.”

Samantha trembled when she heard this. She may have been able to protect Bailar from Celine, but she was faced with an even bigger crisis at this moment.

“All right, I understand. Do you have any good news to share with me? If we’re able to hold out for a few days and settle in at Swallow Central, there’s a chance we might be able to…”

Samantha remembered that Daniel had granted her a slot in Swallow Central. This served as her motivation to keep going.

However, Nina shook her head and said, “Even if we get into Swallow Central, we still need a company that’d be willing to work with us. Right now, there’s an opportunity we could take, but I’m not sure if we can…”

“What’s this opportunity? Hurry up and spill it,” Samantha urged.

“It’s Swallowston’s Nine Kings. They’ve just secured themselves a project that’s worth three hundred million dollars, but they’re outsourcing part of it since they can’t take up the entire project themselves. It’d be good if we can sign a contract with them.”
