Samantha attempted to stop Adrian by pulling at him, but he simply shoved her away.The foreman covered his face and was struggling to get on his feet.Adrian grabbed him by his collar as soon as he got up and hoisted him into the air with one hand.He said, “Get everyone to stop working. Are you deaf or blind? Answer me!”Thud!Upon saying that, Adrian gave the foreman’s belly another punch.The foreman was shaking from head to toe and his legs kicked frantically in mid-air. He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.“I… I’ll get them to stop working.” The foreman yielded and lost the courage to continue his stubborn act.“Why didn’t you do so earlier?” Adrian asked.The foreman stuttered and simply stared at Adrian. He was at a loss for words.Adrian swung a kick and the foreman flew before landing on the ground. Adrian clapped and beckoned to the foreman. “Do it.”The foreman got up from the ground. Holding onto his belly, he shouted, “Stop working! Everybody,

“Be careful, everyone. Safety first,” said Samantha to those people.Danton’s subordinates entered the nursing home and searched for the basement entrance. The rest of the people stayed behind, waiting for orders.Riley and Elara walked over. They inspected the area around the nursing home with a few security guards from New Paraiso.The crowd anxiously waited for an update.Meanwhile, Samantha said to Danton, “Oh, Mr. Danton, are you acquainted with the president of Gamma Construction? My husband beat up one of their employees earlier and I’m worried that…”“Beat up one of their employees?” Danton was surprised. He turned around and glanced at Adrian who stood not far away from him.In truth, Danton had always thought rather highly of Adrian. When Henry was still alive, Adrian excelled at school in every area. He had even claimed that Adrian would certainly grow up to be a successful man.It was a waste that the situation had not turned out as he had expected. Adrian was suffer

Samantha became excited upon hearing the voice from the walkie-talkie.Even Danton smiled and said, “I’m sure the thing we’re looking for is inside. Bring it here.”“Yes, sir.”Shortly after that, the men who had gone into the basement returned with a rusty-looking safe. After they placed it on the floor, Danton and Samantha walked over and bent over to get a look at it.“Mr. Danton, Ms. Samantha, here’s the safe you asked for. Judging by its exterior, it’s probably seven to eight years old.”The rust around it was so bad that it could not be opened. However, the fact that it was so well hidden must mean it contained something very important.Danton asked, “Could this be the thing that Henry left behind? Do you think he locked away all of his documents inside?”Unsure of the answer herself, Samantha said, “It’s possible, but I can’t say for sure. Let’s take it back to my office first. We’ll find out what it is once we find a way to pry it open.”Danton nodded and had his men lo

Time was irreversible.Adrian shut his eyes and took a deep breath, while Samantha stayed by his side, silently accompanying him.However, right at that moment, a few dozen cars arrived outside the nursing home. The revving of their engines attracted everyone’s attention.The workers from Gamma Construction became excited when they saw the cars.“It’s Mr. Loid.”“He’s finally here.”“Looks like he brought a lot of people with him.”Everyone was pumped, while Danton and the others felt a sense of foreboding.When Samantha saw the cars, she hurriedly said, “Loid Elrod’s here, dear. Find a place to hide while I go take a look.”Samantha ran off after saying that.At that moment, Loid commanded more than fifty people as he furiously stormed into the nursing home.Loid was a rather important man in Southrive, while Gamma Construction was the third largest business under the Southrive Group.He was famous—for his bad temper.“It was them, Mr. Loid. They asked us to stop working
Chapter 208
Samantha, Danton, and all of the onlookers were stunned when they saw Loid bowing down.The president of Trifecta, an important man of the Southrive Group and the very same man who was furious a moment ago, was bowing to another man???‘Unbelievable!’Everyone was wide-eyed with shock, absolutely confused why Loid would do such a thing right after Adrian presented a medallion.‘What kind of medallion is that?’Loid was the only one who saw what was inscribed on the medallion, while the others could not due to the angle they were looking at it.Meanwhile, Adrian put away the medallion before anyone else could see what it was.Loid was bent over at a ninety degrees angle, trembling so vigorously that he could not even utter a single word.“Adrian…” Samantha called out, her heart thumping like mad.‘Something must be up with that medallion of his.’Ignoring her, Adrian kicked Loid in the shin, causing the latter to fall flat on his face.And thus, Loid was now at the mercy of A

“It’s obvious that the medallion Adrian produced had scared Loid.“What was it? Could you see the words inscribed on it?” Samantha asked.Danton shook his head. “I couldn’t. I was at a bad angle.”Samantha heaved out a long sigh and chose not to think about it for the time being.“Let’s head back to my office.”“Okay.”Everyone headed back to New Paraiso.***While Samantha headed back to New Paraiso with the others to open up the safe and reveal its contents, Adrian headed to the cemetery instead of going home.Many had said that Henry was a genius businessman who only came about once every hundred years.However, it was because of him that a star had fallen.In the past, Adrian never once thought that Henry would leave behind a treasure. All of the things he had done were extremely glorious, yet went by unnoticed.Henry had left behind a lot of regrets, and his biggest regret was not being able to realize the miracles of medical technology despite spending almost twenty y

Rue seemed rather concerned.Samantha put down her bag and leaned against the sofa. “We went to the nursing home today and found a safe that Father-in-law left behind in the basement. Inside, we found some documents he had written.“The documents are intact, and we’ve even made a copy of it. I’m going to take over his previous research and realize the dream he couldn’t finish,” Samantha replied.Rue was touched by Samantha’s words, wiping off her tears as she sat down. She had no idea what to say at that moment.At the time, Henry’s greatest wish was to complete his research and find a cure for cancer, but that wish was ultimately dashed.Now, her daughter-in-law was going to continue her husband’s wish by forming a research team.Rue was so touched. She was certain that Samantha was the best daughter-in-law in the world.“Don’t cry, Mother.” Samantha helped Rue wipe her tears when she saw Rue’s tearful face.Rue nodded and spoke with a hoarse voice, “Let’s eat.”Samantha agre

Samantha overheard Daniel’s message and asked, “Was that General Daniel’s voice?”Adrian nodded. “I asked him to help me find out where Richie is and he agreed. I suppose you could say we’re well acquainted with each other after I helped him out at the opening of Swallow Central.”“Really?” Samantha asked, feeling a little skeptical.She may not have been able to see through Adrian’s lies the first few times, but it had gotten much easier for her recently.Samantha had no idea what was going on with Adrian, but she could tell that her husband was hiding something from her.***After half an hour, Samantha arrived at Dream City which Daniel had mentioned.Lights of every color shined in this part of Swallowston, signaling the start of the residents’ nightlife.This place was known to be the headquarters of Swallowston’s underworld.The nightclub was built beneath the ground, and it was a huge place where both men and women would spend their time.Many women had gained a life o
