Chapter 295
When Rue returned with the groceries that afternoon, Samantha joined her in the kitchen to help prepare dinner.Adrian did not stay home for long. He headed back out to the Battle Warrior Department and was there the entire afternoon.Samantha naturally did not interfere now that she knew about Adrian’s job. Instead, she stayed home to prepare dinner and waited for him to return.The ladies prepared a scrumptious meal for that night, and when it was almost evening, Rue said, “Juno’s about to finish school, Sam. I’ll handle the rest myself. You go ahead and pick her up.”“I’ll just give Adrian a call and tell him to pick Juno. He should be on his way back anyhow.”Samantha then picked up her phone and called Adrian, asking him to pick Juno up from school.After hanging up the call, Adrian headed to Swallowston High and waited at the entrance. After waiting for just five minutes, Juno came out in her wheelchair, chatting away happily with her friends.When she saw Adrian, she said

Adaline got up and helped Juno onto the sofa. “How are you feeling? Better, I hope. Oh, wait here. I brought you a gift!”Adaline went to her room and fetched a pink miniskirt.“I bought this from a shop near my campus. I think it’s really beautiful, and you’ll be able to wear it when your legs are better. What do you think? Do you like it?”Adaline handed the skirt to Juno, who stared at it like she never wanted to let it go.“It’s beautiful! I love it!”“I’m glad to hear that. I’ll take you out shopping when your legs are all better. Let’s ask Adrian for some money so that we can buy a whole bunch of beautiful clothes,” Adaline said as she beamed.Juno looked at Adrian, realizing that this was the first time she had felt loved by so many people.Meanwhile, Samantha brought out a bowl of soup from the kitchen. “You three, time to wash your hands and eat.”The food looked so delicious that it made everyone’s tummies rumble.Adrian carried Juno to wash her hands before they all

Adaline and Juno were smiling away when Adrian mentioned wanting to buy a new house.Adaline said, “Remember to leave me a room if you do buy one. I’d like to have a bathroom attached to my room, please. Oh, Juno and I can share a room.”“No problem!” Adrian gave his little sister an “OK” gesture.Samantha asked, “Do you have the money? I know I don’t.”Adrian smiled, “I’ll take care of it.”With that, Samantha said nothing. After all, the legate surely would not be short of money. Hence, she chose not to interfere in the matter anymore.***Samantha surfed through the Internet and looked at a lot of houses that night. Since they were going to buy one, she wanted to make sure that it had a large enough space that could accommodate them.However, due to Adrian’s identity, she did not dare to choose a house that was too luxurious in case people started pointing fingers at them.By the next morning, Samantha had decided on a few houses and showed them to Adrian.They had breakfa

On top of that, Samantha would receive dirty looks and insults from the other girls because she was the prettiest among them—including Tiffany.When Samantha saw Tiffany, it was clear that she did not wish to speak to the latter as she said, “I’m sorry, Tiffany, but I have to go. There’s something I need to look into.”“What’s the rush, little widow?” Tiffany laughed out loud.At that moment, all of the BMW’s windows rolled down. Samantha realized that her ex-classmates were sitting inside.After a round of laughter, Tiffany said, “I heard that your husband’s here. Word has been going around our alumni pretty heavily. You must be in a real hurry to service him.”“Could you please show me a little more respect in the way you speak?” Samantha said.“Respect? Hahaha!” Tiffany was in stitches. “What makes you think a loser like yourself deserves my respect? You were such a high and mighty woman in the past, now look at how terrible you are. You’re no better than beggars on the street

Adrian laughed when he saw how coquettish Samantha was being.‘Looks like what they say about women is true. They really do change their minds like the wind.’Adrian smiled and asked, “Are you sure, sweetheart?”“Absolutely. I’ve never been more sure of anything.“That d*mn woman has been bullying me ever since we were in university. I got into Southrive University after I got married to you at eighteen years old and she went around telling everyone that I’m a widow.“She’s been tormenting me for far too long. It’s time I show her who I really am,” Samantha said in a furious tone.Adrian tutted before he smiled and said, “But she’s right though. Weren’t you a widow over the past few years?”“What?!”Samantha shot her husband a glare and retorted, “And whose fault would that be? If I’d known you’d be like this, I would’ve remarried. Do you have any idea how many men pursued me when I was in university? The number of rich guys was just ridiculous!“This is all your fault, and no

Tiffany’s lies were getting more and more exaggerated.Samantha had to stifle her laughter when she heard this. She then turned around and said to Adrian, “Have you known him since you were kids, dear?”Adrian shook his head. “Nope. I have no clue who he is.”“Pfft!” Tiffany started laughing as well. She covered her mouth as she said, “Does this mean you’re the legate? You really should be careful about the lies you decide to tell.”Adrian waved his hands, thinking there was no need for them to waste their energy on people like Tiffany and Kai.Meanwhile, Samantha smiled and said, “All right, I’m sure we know who the actual liar is by now. Anyway, nice seeing you. My husband and I are going to look at the houses now.”And with that, Samantha headed toward the real estate office, leaving both Tiffany and Kai dumbfounded before they quickly followed behind them.Tiffany thought that Samantha was lying and was planning to expose Samantha in front of everyone. With her arms folded,

“Huh? What?”The realtor named Lizzy was astonished. She looked at Samantha and Adrian, who were scrutinizing the houses, in astoundment.‘Who the heck are these people? With just one call, the richest man yielded his house.’Tiffany was extremely shocked as well. Her little mouth hung agape in a daze and her expression was as unpleasant as it could be. Her boyfriend, Kai, appeared embarrassed too.Samantha said, “What did you say you were going to do? Go ahead and do whatever it is you want to do.”‘It’s just a coincidence… It has to be!‘How could Samantha possibly make Donald yield to her?’Tiffany refused to believe it and said coldly, “It’s just a coincidence. I’d like to see if you can actually afford a house on Jewel Road, and the grandest one nonetheless. Don’t be bluffing when you can’t afford the price.”Samantha ignored Tiffany once again.Adrian stood up and passed a card to Lizzy the salesgirl. “We’ll make full payment. Swipe this card. It doesn’t have a pin. I ju

They sat in awkward silence for a long time before Tiffany asked Kai, “Tell me. How could Samantha possibly afford One Jewel Road huh? That’s a villa that is worth millions of dollars!”“I don’t know. I can’t figure it out either...” Kai shook his head.“Dear, do you think that the salesgirl is just playing along with her to put on an act?” Tiffany asked after a spark of realization.“Put on an act?”Tiffany nodded. “Look. I heard that Samantha was disowned by her grandmother so how can she afford such a luxurious villa? Is it possible that the salesgirl is Samantha’s friend and she sent the salesgirl a text, telling her to put on an act?”Kai thought about it and was instantly enlightened. He slapped his thigh and said in a fury, “F*ck. We gave Samantha the opportunity to feel like she’s some hot sh*t when we should’ve exposed her in public. That must be the case. Did you notice how the salesgirl was winking at Adrian from time to time? It’s obvious that they already contacted ea
