“Shut up, Adrian! This has nothing to do with you, you deadbeat!”Violet slammed her cane on the floor as she yelled.Adrian chose not to waste his time with the old woman out of respect for her seniority.Samantha then said, “I’m in a rush to get to the office, Grandmother. If it isn’t anything urgent, I’ll come and visit you when I get off work later.”Violet became furious. “Are you trying to chase me away?!”Samantha did not mean to do such a thing, but what could she possibly do if Violet was trying to pick a bone with her?“That’s not what I’m trying to do, Grandmother. I really have urgent matters to attend to at the office today so whatever it is you need from me, please just say it.”“Preposterous! Is that any way to speak to your grandmother?!”Samantha felt helpless, understanding that there was nothing she could do to Violet since the woman was her grandmother. Violet could do literally anything to her but she could not do the same in return.Just as Samantha had n
Chapter 353
The truth was that Clara had told Violet yesterday that Samantha was living at One Jewel Road so the Cowells came up with a plan to move into the villa, kick Samantha out of the place, and turn it into their own.Their plan was to use Violet having to be sent to an elderly home as an excuse to rope Samantha in. They would then make Samantha accept Violet into her villa and get her to take care of Violet for a year.Shortly after that, Francis was to move into the place on the pretense he wanted to take care of Violet too, quickly followed by Nathan, Hugo, and the rest. Ultimately, all the Cowells would move into the villa and come up with a way to kick both Samantha and Adrian out of the place.This was why they had come today.***The Cowells grew red in the face when Joanna saw through their plans so easily. Still, that did not stop them from executing their plans and setting them in motion.Violet said, “I’m old, Samantha. I can’t walk as well as I used to so you and everyone

At the end of the day, Violet was Samantha’s grandmother, so she had no choice but to remain filial to Violet despite how unreasonable the old woman was being.After an entire day’s worth of hard work, Violet finally emptied out her old house and moved everything—even piles of junk—into One Jewel Road.Meanwhile, Rue helped clear out a room for Violet, who no doubt had a few words of insults to hurl at Rue for not clearing the room to her standards. Helplessly, Rue accepted all of the insults she received without a single word of complaint.It was not until five in the afternoon that Samantha and Adrian were done helping Violet move in.At that moment, Violet was thoroughly enjoying herself—sitting on the sofa as she ate a platter of fruits. To make matters worse, Samantha received a call from Joanna before she was even able to catch a break.“Are you done, Sam? You have to hurry to the office. Something major happened.”“Okay, I’ll be right there.”Samantha hurriedly put down h

Together with Adrian and Joanna, Samantha rushed all the way to the Black manor with a heavy heart.Simon’s death dealt a huge blow to Danton, which also indirectly affected his entire company.Simon’s death was no small matter to the Paraiso Group.On the way there, Joanna asked, “Do you know who the culprit is, Adrian? Who do you think is the prime suspect? Don’t you think it’s Seth and Clara?”Adrian pondered for a moment before he replied, “I can’t say for sure, but you’re right. Seth and Clara are indeed prime suspects since Simon and Clara were in a relationship.”“Who would possibly kill another person so mercilessly? Simon was a perfectly fine man, yet he’s now gone,” Samantha lamented.There have been many cases similar to this throughout history. Some of them ended up being cold cases.***The trio arrived at the Black manor in Swallowston three hours later. There were many cars parked outside, a number of them belonging to companies in good relationship with Danton’s

After taking a look at the crowd, Daniel said, “Mr. Danton, the department is doing everything they can to investigate the murder of your son. Including the legate himself. We’ll be sure to find out who the murderer is and bring them to justice to avenge your son.“I’ve come here today to tell you all that the dead can never be resurrected so you must all stand strong and not fall at this moment.“The department shall be your strongest shield!”Daniel thumped his chest as he spoke.Danton then said, “I can’t take this… My son’s dead… I may have to take a step back for some time to sort out my emotions but I’m truly grateful for everything the department has done for me and my company over the years, General.”Daniel patted Danton’s shoulder before walking to the living room. Facing the crowd, he said, “Everyone, very few cases as brutal as this has happened ever since Battle Warrior Lucas took over. None of us could’ve ever expected such a tragedy to happen.“If any of you have a

When Adrian arrived back at One Jewel Road with Samantha and Joanna, they immediately saw there were many people inside.Francis, Clara, Nathan, and Hugo were there. In fact, even Tracy and Wendy, Nathan and Hugo’s wives respectively, were present, cooking something in the kitchen.They seemed to be enjoying themselves in the villa, with Francis, Hugo, and Nathan leisurely helping themselves to Adrian’s red wine.On the other hand, Rue seemed like a complete stranger, standing by the side, not knowing what she should do.“Grandmother, what’s all this?!” Samantha became furious when she saw how her villa had turned into the Cowells’ villa. Violet squinted her eyes when she saw that Samantha and Adrian had returned. “Your uncles were afraid you wouldn’t be able to take care of me properly, so they’re both here to help you. Now, you can worry less.“Or is there something you’d like to say about that?” Violet pressured.Samantha was so furious that she burst into tears and yelled,

Samantha sounded rather ferocious as she said, “I don’t care. None of you are going up there even if you want to. That’s a dating place for Adrian and me. I won’t let any of you sully it.”Clara sneered when she heard this. “A dating place? What a shameless woman you are, Samantha. None of us will ever want to go to a place as filthy as that anyway. Not when you’re spending your time there.”Samantha took a deep breath, forcing down her anger. She let off a cold snicker and said, “We both know who the filthy person really is, Clara. No matter how filthy I am, I’ve remained loyal to my husband. You, on the other hand, insulted Simon’s kindness with such a heinous act… Are you even ashamed of yourself in the slightest?”Clara’s heart dropped the moment Samantha brought Simon up, not daring to retaliate on that particular topic.Adrian immediately pulled Samantha aside, thinking that she would be ruining her own image by arguing with Clara.Then, he said, “Enjoy your meal. There’s st

Everyone was instantly dumbfounded, feeling as though their entire lives had been turned upside down.Nathan and Hugo were still enjoying their drink when gun muzzles were suddenly pressed against their heads, leaving them stupefied.They immediately got down on their knees with their hands in the air. “Please, sir! We haven’t done anything wrong to deserve this! So why are we being held at gunpoint?!”The others were also in shock, with Violet almost falling off of the sofa at the sight of the guns.Francis was the biggest laughingstock amongst the rest of them—wetting his pants the moment a gun was aimed at him. Trembling in fear, he looked at the men and burst into tears. “Please, sir! I’m a law-abiding citizen!”‘Why the hell is this happening all of a sudden?! We were just enjoying a meal together!’Clara, on the other hand, had turned white.Tracy and Wendy were already on their knees with their hands behind their heads.‘What’s going on?‘What’s all this?!’“What’s goi
