The Return of the War Legate by Celestial Clouds novel Chapter 51

Adrian smiled upon hearing that. “In that case, let’s get prepared.”

Samantha nodded. If Swallowston Bank took the liberty to call, it signified that Bailar’s funding issue could be easily solved.

She felt rather excited. Without a moment’s hesitation, she quickly packed up and drove to Swallowston Bank’s headquarters with Adrian.

Half an hour later, Adrian and Samantha arrived at Swallowston Bank’s headquarters.

As soon as they got out of the car, Samantha walked toward the bank in excitement. However, a voice rang out before she stepped into the building. “Isn’t that my cousin and his wife? What a coincidence, meeting you guys here.”

Samantha was stunned.

Adrian turned around to see who it was. He saw a young man dressed in a suit and a woman walking over to them from the bank’s entrance.

Samantha furrowed her eyebrows at the sight of the young man. His name was Cedric Xander, and he was Adrian’s cousin. He was Harold’s grandson and Leonard’s son.

“Let’s go, ignore him,” Samantha said to Adrian. She had no intention of paying Cedric any heed.

Even though Cedric was Adrian’s cousin, he had frequently come around seeking trouble with Samantha when Adrian had not been around the past few years. He had even declared that he wanted to sleep with Samantha. He offered her seventy thousand dollars to sleep with him.

Samantha was extremely disgusted by Cedric’s actions.

Adrian planned on paying no attention to Cedric since Samantha told him so.

“Hah-hah-hah!” Cedric burst out laughing. “You’re asking me to shut up? The general manager of Swallowston Bank is a good friend of mine. All I have to do is call him. Forget about a loan, they won’t even let you into the building.”

Cedric had plenty of connections in Swallowston so he was very confident in himself.

But it was apparent that Samantha refused to be threatened by him. She grabbed Adrian’s hand and said, “Ignore him. Let’s go in. Come on.”

Adrian was planning on talking some sense into Cedric but he did not speak further upon hearing Samantha’s words.

Cedric was furious to be ignored once again. Adrian was regarded as the black sheep of the Xander family. He could easily overpower Adrian at any moment if he wanted.

Cedric stepped forward and grabbed Adrian by the sleeve. “Adrian, we’re not done talking yet. How dare you ignore me.”
