Riley was rather surprised.She had not expected Samantha to have such strong willpower to get back on her feet again after being bullied by the Cowells.On top of that, she had managed to secure investments again.Riley was hesitant as she was faced with Samantha’s sincerity.As she was pondering, Adrian said to her, “You know very well that the Xanders won’t make progress.”Riley knew that her family would not go far. Starting from Harold to the bottom of the family tree, every one of them bore the same stripes.“Riley.” Samantha reached for Riley’s hand with an earnest expression on her face.Riley was struggling deep inside. She realized that this was a chance for her.Soon, Riley nodded heavily. “I accept your offer to join your company, Sam.”Samantha was instantly excited to hear Riley’s remark. She grabbed Riley’s little hand and placed it on her chest.Samantha said, “Riley, let’s work hard together from now on. I believe that it won’t be long until we establish the

Adrian picked up the call. “Yes?”“Sir, we spotted some Luposians in Southrive today. I secretly looked into them and I speculate that they’re assassins sent by Luposia,” said Daniel.“How many?” asked Adrian.Daniel said, “As of this moment, I’m not too sure. I’m still investigating. Lucas won’t be in Swallowston for the next two days so my advice is to keep a close watch over your wife, sir.”Luposia had always been hostile against Navia. They had lost quite many people in the incessant wars over the past two years. It was highly plausible that they would send assassins to Southrive.As for their motive, Daniel was still trying to figure out if they were sent to assassinate Adrian or Lucas.Adrian said, “Noted. Continue your investigation and notify me immediately if there are any updates.”“Yes, sir.” Daniel hung up the call upon saying that.Meanwhile, Samantha walked out of the bathroom wearing a pale blue-colored nightgown and asked in puzzlement, “Who were you talking to

Samantha was astonished.She had not expected to receive two thousand computers from Liam of Nine Kings on top of a full set of office furniture from Mandy.Samantha was astounded beyond comparison.“Sam, it seems that Mr. Liam thinks very highly of you. He believes that you’re capable so he wants to help you out. You should quickly thank him and his people,” Adrian urged as he observed the astonishment on her face.Samantha hastily said, “I’m very grateful for Mr. Liam’s gift. Please come upstairs with me and have a cup of coffee. Thank you for taking the trouble to do this, everyone.”The middle-aged man passed a receipt to Samantha. “Thank you, but we’ll skip the coffee, miss. Please sign the receipt so we can head back and report to Mr. Liam.”“Sure thing.” Samantha quickly signed her name on the receipt.The middle-aged man said, “Thank you so much, Ms. Samantha.“Everyone, unload the computers.“Where should we put them, miss?”“You can just place them in the lobby firs

In their perception, Samantha was solely responsible for Bailar’s bankruptcy.They blamed her for not accepting the general manager position and they refused to take any responsibility for the downfall.Clara and Francis smiled upon hearing that.Yet, it was at this exact moment that Nathan and Hugo ran into the house.Nathan said in an extremely agitated tone, “Mother, Mother, this is bad. Something bad happened. Something really bad!”Nathan and Hugo were extremely agitated and were sweating profusely from running.“Nathan, you’re not young anymore, so why are you shouting? Where’s your sense of propriety?” Violet said angrily upon witnessing the situation.“That’s right, Father. What happened?” Clara raised her head and looked at Nathan as she asked in puzzlement.Nathan inhaled a few deep breaths. He was panting and breathing heavily as he struggled to get the next few words out, “Mother… You… You may not know this but I just received…word that Samantha has opened a new com

Violet arrived at New Paraiso with the Cowells. She was clearly agitated.Meanwhile, Samantha, who was busy with the renovation works, spotted Violet rush in with the Cowells and was instantly astonished. She rushed to the ground level of the building without any hesitation.“What brings you here, Grandmother?” Samantha asked when she stood in before Violet.Violet did not answer immediately. She sized up New Paraiso’s building and discovered that it was grander than the Cowell Group’s building.Violet said, “Samantha, you started a new company so quickly. Why didn’t you notify me? Do you not care about this old woman anymore?”Violet took advantage of her seniority and did not feel any shame when she said this.Samantha answered, “I’ve been very busy as of late, Grandmother. Also, the company has yet to start operations so I haven’t notified anyone about it.”“That’s not a good excuse.” Violet let out a grunt.Nathan stepped forward and said angrily, “Samantha, you started a n

Violet assumed an expression as if Samantha owed her.The Cowells burst out laughing upon hearing Violet’s orders.“The Cowells have taken care of you for such a long time so it’s time for you to repay the family’s favor, Samantha.“Grandmother’s not asking for too much with fifty percent, right?” said Clara with a sneer.“That’s right. It’s already respectful to you that she’s allowing you to keep twenty-nine percent when you’re just a piece of sh*t. Don’t be ungrateful as you were with Bailar,” said Francis.It was clear that they were demanding a share of New Paraiso, and they made it sound like it was serious business.Francis was shameless beyond comparison. He demanded someone else’s belongings yet called Samantha such a foul word. Only the Cowells would produce someone like him.Samantha had not expected Violet to come here asking for company shares.Anyone would be well aware that a shareholder with fifty-one percent was considered the biggest shareholder with the autho

The rest of the Cowells were astonished.Francis lay on the ground, trembling uncontrollably. He whimpered continuously because of the pain in his mouth.Then, he started shedding tears. He wanted to cry out loud, yet he discovered that he could not move his lips. He had not expected something like this to happen and he regretted his actions at this very moment.He wanted to speak, yet was utterly incapable of even moving his mouth.“Francis, Francis? How do you feel?” Hugo asked as he helped Francis into a sitting position.Francis could not speak but his eyes were filled with fear as he looked at Adrian.Samantha had not expected Adrian to punch Francis so strongly and her beautiful face turned pale with fear.Violet was shaking at the sight of Francis’ badly battered state.“What did you do, Adrian?!” she roared at him.Adrian clapped his hands together. He did not even glance at Violet as he said, “Haven’t you heard of the saying ‘the one who scolds people has a foul mouth

Nathan left with the other Cowells upon saying that.***Samantha wiped her tears after her family departed.She felt extremely disappointed. She never expected her family to be so shameless that they would seek trouble with her in an even more aggressive manner than before.Violet disowned her, sought payment of seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars from her, and went back on her own word to seize Bailar.And Violet now had the nerve to ask for New Paraiso’s shares?Even though Violet was her grandmother, Samantha could not make peace with Violet’s unreasonable actions.“Forget it, Sam. Your grandmother and my grandfather cut from the same cloth. Let’s not lower ourselves to their level.” Riley patted Samantha on the shoulder.Samantha inhaled a deep breath and said, “I didn’t expect my grandmother would be so insensible that she’d have the nerve to come to me and ask for New Paraiso’s shares. And she did it as if it was reasonable and logical for me to do so too.“If she
