“What?”The Cowells were shocked upon hearing Adrian’s remark. Not even Violet had expected Adrian to agree so easily.On the other hand, tears instantly started streaming down Samantha’s face when she heard what Adrian said. She roared, “What nonsense are you saying, Adrian?! Bailar is mine! Why would I give it to them?!”“I’m your grandmother, Samantha! Do you not have any respect for me?!” said Violet angrily upon hearing Samantha’s words.“I…” Samantha was shaken. Violet was going back on her word. Moreover, she did it so shamelessly and her actions left Samantha feeling hopeless.Adrian simply smiled at Samantha and comforted her by saying, “Don’t worry, Sam. The Cowells are jealous of you and came to take back the company after finding out about your collaboration with Nine Kings and that it got a spot in Swallow Central. Since they want it, let them have it.”“Adrian, what nonsense are you on about?” said Samantha as she sobbed.Adrian paid no attention to Samantha. He lo

The Cowells shook with excitement as they made their way there.“Hahaha! Bailar is ours, Grandmother. We got a contract with Nine Kings and we have a spot in Swallow Central. Our family’s status will rise from today forth!”Francis was growing restless in his seat, his face beaming with excitement.Clara was delighted as well. She inhaled a deep breath and said, “Our family will hold a different status from today onward. We will become an influential family of Swallowston when we open up at Swallow Central.”Nathan nodded and said, “Clara’s right, Mother. Our family’s status is about to change. The collaboration with Nine Kings and the Swallow Central spot are contributions of our family.“I’d like to see who in Swallowston will look down upon the Cowells from now on.”The Cowells felt really good about themselves and were delighted beyond comparison.Violet nodded and said, “Thank you for your hard work, everyone. Put all your efforts into managing the company properly once we

Through painstaking efforts, Bailar got the chance to rise again, yet it was seized by the Cowells.To Samantha, losing the company was losing her only opportunity to succeed. But what else could she do now?She shut her eyes as she lay in Adrian’s arms. She did not want to think or do anything.“Come on, get up.” Adrian caressed her hair.Samantha’s red eyes brimmed with tears. She did not wish to move.Adrian said, “Sam, forget about what happened for now. Just trust me. I have my ways to handle the situation.”Samantha raised her head and said in a hoarse voice, “Ways? What ways do you have? If you had your ways, you wouldn’t have let the Cowells take Bailar.”“They’ll return it in the same way they took it. Don’t worry,” Adrian comforted her.It would be useless for him to explain further at this point.Samantha inhaled deeply. She made up her mind to deal with the situation. Then, she said, “Let go of me. I’m fine. I’m going to get ready to attend Cassey’s wedding.“Fran

On the contrary, it added a tinge of rusticness to her demeanor.After hanging up the call, Samantha said to Adrian, “Adrian, speak as little as you can when we’re at the wedding. I have many friends attending the wedding and they will target you if you talk.”Adrian nodded. He was aware of Cassey’s goal, of course, but he did not comment further.Samantha sped off to Swallowston Hotel where Cassey was getting married to Mario today.***As Samantha and Adrian headed to the hotel to attend Cassey’s wedding, the Cowells were at Bailar.Violet immediately called for an important meeting with Bailar’s staff members in the boardroom that morning. The managers of Bailar’s major departments and the Cowells were in attendance.During the meeting, Violet fired almost all the managers and assigned her family members to these posts. She fired Samantha’s assistant, Nina, too.There was a reshuffling in Bailar’s organization and the Cowells were promoted to top-level positions.At this ex

Nine Kings was a distinguished company in Swallowston that was considered one of the tops.The Cowells drove to Nine Kings in three separate cars and were beyond excited. After all, Liam was an influential person in Swallowston so it was a massive event for the Cowells to meet him.“Hahaha, Liam will treat us to the finest drinks for sure! Our family is truly impressive.” Francis could not refrain from chuckling in excitement as he sat in the car. He was convinced that Liam would feel more secure in the contract they signed with Bailar now that the Cowells had taken over.Clara said, “Francis is right. Liam will surely treat us with courtesy now that our status is different.”Next to her, Clara’s boyfriend, Simon smiled. “I heard talks about Liam. He’s fond of working with capable people.“On a side note, he nominated my family, the Blacks, as being capable in the past. He’ll certainly be very excited to host me today and to know that the Cowells and Blacks are working together.”

Meanwhile, Liam was busy going over documents in his office when the phone on his table rang.His secretary, June, walked into the room and answered the call on his behalf. “Hello, this is the office of Liam Starr.“What did you say? Why did they hit you?“All right. Don’t cry. Send them up and go get yourself checked at a hospital.”“Okay.” After hanging up the call, the receptionist wiped away her tears and said in a hoarse voice, “The director has given permission for you to head upstairs.”The Cowells beamed upon hearing this, and Violet walked straight into the elevator.Francis cussed the receptionist in a malicious tone, “F*ck. Would I have hit you if you had just done that from the start?”As he spoke, he joined Violet in heading upstairs.In Liam’s office, June put the phone back in the receiver and reported, “Mr. Liam, there are some people from the Cowell Group who want to meet you. They slapped our receptionist downstairs earlier.”“The Cowell Group?” Liam was puzz

Soon, the sound of someone knocking on a door echoed. The Cowells had arrived.“Come in,” said June.The door opened. Violet walked into the office, cane in hand and in the lead of the other Cowells.Every member of the Cowells appeared spirited and elated.Violet said, “It’s been a long time since we last met, Liam.”Violet was acquainted with Liam as he used to be a nobody in the past and used to work for Channing.Following Violet’s opening remark, the rest of the Cowells introduced themselves.“Hello, Mr. Liam. My name is Nathan Cowell.”“I’m Hugo Cowell.”“Hello, Mr. Liam. My name is Francis Cowell. Hugo is my father,” said Francis.“Greetings, Mr. Liam. I’m Simon Black from the Black family,” said Simon.“Mr. Liam. I’m Simon’s fiancee,” said Clara.Liam was rather astounded by the Cowells’ slew of self-introduction. In his opinion, it was unnecessary for him to get acquainted with all these people.The Cowells were expecting Liam to show them the courtesy by offering

Yet, this was his first time encountering people who indulged in such a high degree of self-glorification.The Cowells were useless and yet were completely unaware of it. They even described themselves as if they were exceptional.Liam could tell from the Cowells’ words that all of them combined would be inferior to Samantha. She was the most outstanding of Channing’s grandchildren.Meanwhile, June prepared a cup of coffee for Liam. He took a sip and said, “So, you’re all here to tell me that you’ve kicked Samantha out of Bailar and the company belongs to you now?”“That’s right.” Violet nodded. “Samantha isn’t capable of managing such a huge business. She’s the worst of all my grandchildren.”Clara, Francis, and the others expressed their pride when Violet praised them.However, Liam said, “Violet, if Samantha is useless, why did Bailar suddenly make enormous progress two years ago? In fact, under her management, the company is on the verge of becoming a listed company.“Afterw
