The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 76

Chapter 76 “Okay! “Here. You should eat more.” Rue was excited and piled more food onto Samantha’s plate. The family was in the midst of dinner when a frantic knocking came from outside the door. Rue went to answer it. She furrowed her eyebrows at the sight of the people standing outside. “What brings you here?” “What is it? Judging by your tone, am I not allowed to visit my granddaughter?” said Violet in a slightly angry tone. “That’s right, that’s right. You’re being quite disrespectful. Isn’t it perfectly justifiable for my grandmother to visit Samantha?” Francis said angrily. Rue was not fond of these Cowells, and she had not expected them to come knocking on her door again tonight. But she felt it inappropriate to reject them so she said, “Please, come in.”

Violet and the other Cowells marched into the house. Samantha stood up in astonishment when she saw Violet and hastily said, “Why are you here, Grandmother? Have you eaten? Come and join us for dinner!” Violet looked solemn and her expression was filled with anger. Samantha could not figure out what she had done to offend her. Then, Violet said, “I’m not used to eating this family’s cooking. I’m here to tell you that I will be taking back Bailar.” “What?!” Samantha was startled. Adrian stood up and pulled Samantha behind him to shield her. She said anxiously, “I’ve already returned the seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars I owe you. Plus, you said yourself that Bailar will no longer be associated with the Cowells. It’s my company now.” “Your company?!” Violet was furious. “Had your grandfather not provided you with the money to start a business, would you still own a company? No one can take away what belongs to the Cowells!” “But I already returned the money Grandfather gave me. Moreover, I paid an extra three hundred andNôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

fifty thousand dollars!” refuted Samantha. “That money you gave me is to repay me for raising you. It’s good that you’re quite conscientious about that. However, you have to return Bailar to the family now.” Violet went straight to the point. Clara, Francis, Nathan, and Hugo were smiling smugly by the side. Samantha was thoroughly shaken. Violet was going back on her words. Samantha cried and said, “Grandmother, you’ve despised me since I was young. All you cared for was Clara and have never taken me seriously. Repay you for raising me? What do I need to repay you for? “Since my parents’ passed, I would’ve become homeless had Grandfather not helped me. If I want to repay anyone, I should be repaying his kindness.” Violet flew into a rage upon hearing Samantha’s remark. She slammed her cane on the ground and roared angrily, “Your grandfather is dead and I’m his wife! He is me and I am him! Stop quibbling, Samantha. You will return Bailar to the family even if you don’t want to!” Samantha took a few shaky steps backward, her face filled with shock. She had not expected Violet to go so far. She thought her grandmother would never push her to her doom no matter how malicious she was. Yet now…. Samantha was shaken. As she struggled to find the words to say, Adrian suddenly spoke up, “All right. The Cowells are only doing this after finding out Bailar got a spot in Swallow Central and signed a contract with Nine Kings. “If you want it, you can have Bailar as a gift.”
