Samantha could tell from Wilfred’s tone.Harold was the one who conspired from behind the scenes to have Adrian sent to the army as border patrol to take Paraiso away from him.But now, Wilfred was making it sound like she was trying to take Paraiso for herself, while they were taking care of it on Henry’s behalf to protect the company.How were they any different from crooks?Samantha’s face was filled with tears, never expecting the Xanders to twist the truth to this extent, which was causing the people in the main hall to gossip wildly.Seeing this, Leonard said, “Everyone, Samantha only married Adrian for my younger brother’s wealth. She had my brother killed right after she married into the family and even tried to take Paraiso.“Paraiso belonged to my younger brother, which means it belongs to the Xanders, which is why we took it on his behalf. But now, she’s trying to use Adrian to take away our property!”Leonard shamelessly portrayed Samantha as an ungrateful imbecile.

It was against the law to accuse someone of murder…The Xanders were stunned when they heard this.They all exchanged looks for a moment, completely unrealizing they had taken things a little too far.And now, they felt extremely awkward thanks to Mandy’s reminder.At that moment, Mandy took out her cell phone and said, “You have some time to rearrange your thoughts and confirm whether it was indeed Sam who got Henry killed.“If you stick to your guns, I’ll inform the police right away and have the Battle Warrior Department arrest her. However, if she’s proven innocent after the investigation is over, you will all be sentenced to five years in prison at least.“So, what’s it going to be?”Mandy shot a glance at the Xanders as she clenched her cell phone.None of the Xanders were able to utter a word through their embarrassed expressions.Harold suddenly said, “My sons went a little in over their heads, Ms. Mandy. Samantha wasn’t the one who got my son killed. She’s innocent.”

Despite how invincible Cedric thought he was, someone suddenly appeared out of nowhere and stopped him before he could lay his hand on Mandy.What followed right after was a muffled sound and a loud crack, followed by Cedric’s horrified scream as he was sent flying. In that instant, his hips and ribs fractured as he crashed against a table.When he landed on the ground, he had his hand on his hips as his mouth widened in shock.He was in so much pain that he could not even say a word as his body trembled uncontrollably. In fact, he felt as though he was about to pass out from the endless pain.“Father… Father!” Cedric forced himself to yell out. He gasped for air as tears flooded his cheeks.Instantly, all the Xanders were stunned.After Cedric was sent flying, everyone could clearly see Adrian was now standing before Mandy and Samantha.Samantha immediately felt a lump rise up to her chest, while Mandy heaved a sigh of relief.“Adrian, y-you… You ungrateful piece of sh*t! How

Daniel’s appearance caused a commotion to break out in the main hall.Everyone pointed at the Xanders and discussed among themselves.None of the Xanders could have ever thought the Battle Warrior Department would show up over something so meager. Every single one of them quietly left the place without making a scene, none of them daring to utter a single word in the process.Very soon, they were all out of the main hall, and Samantha was finally able to heave a long sigh of relief as though a heavy burden had been lifted off her shoulders.Adrian then walked over and grabbed her hand. “Are you all right, Sam?”Samantha shook her head. ‘Thank goodness he arrived just in time. Otherwise, Mandy would’ve ended up taking that slap for me.’“I’m all right now. What are you doing here? Didn’t you say you have something to do?” Samantha asked.‘I came as soon as I was done.”Then, Adrian turned to Mandy and said, “Thank you for everything you’ve done today, Mandy.”Mandy shot a smile

Violet loved hearing news about Samantha.Especially if it was bad news.She raised her head and asked, “Is this true, Nathan? Did something really happen during her opening ceremony?”Hugo replied, “Harold Xander brought his entire family and rained on her parade. They even accused her of being the one behind Henry’s death.“But in the end, Adrian broke Cedric’s ribs and the Battle Warrior Department arrived at the scene. The whole Xander family got kicked out after that.”Violet inhaled sharply when she heard this.‘Adrian broke Cedric’s ribs?‘That’s brutal, and they’re cousins!’Shocked, Violet asked, “Did Adrian really do something so ruthless?”Hugo replied, “That’s not the worst part of it. I heard he broke both Cedric's and Jacob’s legs a few days ago. And now, Cedric got his ribs broken before his legs even healed.“Adrian’s a violent madman!”Hearing this, Violet said, “I want you to inform everyone in our family right away. None of them are allowed to do anything

The couple chatted throughout the entire journey home.This was the first time they were able to chat so freely after not seeing each other over the past seven years, although Samantha was the one who did most of the talking.As she drove, she told Adrian all kinds of stuff that had happened. Slowly, but surely, the barriers that were between them slowly tore apart until they were completely gone.As an understanding woman, Samantha was no longer as cold toward her husband as she was before.Samantha said a lot of stuff during their journey. From the rough times she had been through at Xander Manor, to how she originally loved playing the piano, going to the gym, and going for runs.After that, she told him what she wanted to do in the future. It was at this moment Adrian found out what Samantha had thought to herself this whole time.If possible, she wanted to give Adrian two children—a son and a daughter. Then, she would hand over New Paraiso to their son to take over.Samanth

With her lips pursed, Samantha put down the photo and said, “I’m very touched that you’ve kept my photo with you for so long, but can you answer my question please?”She still wanted to hear Adrian saying those three magical words to her.But instead, he said, “I’d like to tell you a story before I answer your question.”Samantha nodded.At that moment, Adrian took off his shirt, revealing his ripped and toned muscles.Samantha immediately covered her mouth. However, she did not cover them because of his muscles. It was because of the scars made by blades and bullets that she saw.There were even some scars that were really close to his heart.At that moment, Samantha’s tears rolled down her cheeks.“Adrian, what happened…”She felt pain-stricken at the sight of the scars, unable to imagine just how much pain and hurt Adrian had suffered. After all, this man was her husband.“Seven years ago, Harold sent me to become a part of the border patrol, hoping I’d die there. All of t

The husband and wife chatted for a long while on the drive.They got home at midnight, and Rue was already asleep.Samantha grabbed her nightgown and headed for the shower.***Meanwhile, Cedric, who had his ribs broken, was lying in one of the wards of Southrive Hospital. His breathing sounded extremely weak due to his recent surgery.The rest of the Xanders were standing around in the room with furious expressions on their faces, especially Leonard. He was filled with boundless anger.Leonard paced back and forth in the room and roared, “Adrian is a f*cking b*stard! I’m going to kill him! I will kill him! I will not let him get away! Never!”Leonard was extremely shocked and furious that his son had been severely injured. He wished he could commission a few people to kill Adrian right there and then.“Calm down and cool your head, Leonard,” Wilfred said upon seeing Leonard’s angered state.“My son was beaten to this extent and even has a few broken ribs. He’ll need a year or
