The Return of the War Legate By Celestial Clouds

Chapter 21 No matter how dumb they were, it was evident what was happening. That was why Adrian said he could get an invite from the legate because he was legate! The Cowells lost their minds. They all did. They stood up and looked at the couple. Hugo said, “Samantha, here! This way! It’s me, your Uncle Hugo!” “Sam, look over here!” Francis waved at her too. Never would they imagine that Adrian was the legate. If they had known, they would not have treated him the way they did. Violet picked up her cane and waved it at Adrian too. “Adrian, Samantha, it’s your grandmother. I’m over here.” The Cowells seemed to have forgotten how they treated Samantha before this and all they wanted to do was to get close to her. However, the couple ignored them. Mother, we need to speak to Adrian!” Hugo said excitedly. Violet nodded. When the Cowells were going to leave their seats and walk over, they were blocked by the crew members. Meanwhile, on the Xanders’s side. Harold shook. “My grandson is the war legate! The gods are smiling upon us. Quick. Let’s go talk to him. That’s my grandson!” When Harold saw Adrian and Samantha, he was delighted. All the Xanders too stood up from their seats to try to get to Adrian. The crew member blocked them and said, “Please sit down. No one is allowed to leave their seats.” “Who do you think you are?! That’s my nephew!” Leonard yelled at the crew member. “Lots of people pretend to be the legate’s relatives. Now, sit down!” the man yelled back as he took out a taser. Everyone immediately sat down. They were restless as they watched the couple get on stage. Never would Harold imagine that his own grandson would be the legate. The Xanders would surely become the most important family in Swallowston. “Quick. Go home and make preparations. We need to invite Adrian over tonight,” Harold barked. “Okay, Father!” Leonard and Wildred jumped up, then left with the rest of the family. No one would have believed what was happening if they had not witnessed it for themselves. Violet, on the other hand, also quickly ordered some of the Cowells to go home and make preparations. She intended to invite Adrian and Samantha over too. Adrian would never have been treated that way if he was not the legate. The conference began. Adrian gave a speech and said that Swallow Central was now open for bidding by all the major corporations and that he would be focused on fairness. After two hours, the conference finally ended. The guests slowly left the venue. That afternoon, Daniel personally drove an armored car and drove Adrian and Samantha away from Swallow Central back to their home. During the journey, Samantha still felt like she […]

Chapter 20 “He’s here!” “His wife is finally here too!” “I’m finally meeting the legate from my dreams!” Cheers rang throughout the rooftop garden as Adrian and Samantha stepped out of the chopper. Samantha was shaking. Everything that was happening was like a dream. She was still shocked. She finally understood that she was not

Everyone agreed with Nathan. If Samantha was shameless enough, she could get in by pretending to be a Cowell.  If she went in with Adrian, they would be so ashamed.  Violet rushed to the front desk and asked the receptionist and security guard. “If a woman named Samantha Cowell tries to get in saying that

Chapter 18 In the next few days, the city grew increasingly excited about the Swallow Central investment conference.  The legate and his wife became a hot topic.  There was then further news that Battle Warrior Lucas was back in Swallowston and Swallow Central was locked down in preparation for the conference.  This sent ripples throughout

Chapter 17 Everyone looked toward Adrian.  There was a three-second pause followed by an explosion of laughter.  “Haha! Adrian, you trash! You’re such a funny man!” Francis held his stomach as he pointed at Adrian with tears of laughter rolling down his cheeks.  All the Cowells laughed uproariously.  Simon chastised Adrian, “You said that you

Chapter 16 That night, Samantha went home straight after finishing work at Bailar.  As usual, dinner was ready at home.  “Mother, is Adrian back?” Samantha asked once she got home.  After leaving the Cowells’, she went to sit in her office and pondered for a long time. She knew that she had gone overboard by

Chapter 15 Had Adrian’s call really made the war legate send an invitation to the Cowells?  “Thanks to the legate. Thank you, General Summers.”  Violet gazed at the invitation. Her tears started falling as she put out her hand to accept it.  Daniel nodded and said, “Everyone here is invited. We’ll reserve seats for you.

Chapter 14 “Wow, your family’s famous!”  “You’re so different from that piece of trash.”  “Yes, you’re so much better than him.”  Everyone started licking Simon’s boots after he said that and compared him to Adrian.  When Simon heard this, he became even smugger and smirked at Adrian.  Simon said, “The legate will personally be there,

Chapter 13 Meanwhile, at the Cowells’.  The Cowells used to be an affluent family in Swallowston. But after John passed away, Violet took over the family affairs and caused the family to go from an upstanding family to a low-class one.  Violet Barker was an arrogant, self-centered woman who loved to look down on people.

hapter 12 Night time.  When the family was having dinner, Adrian’s phone rang. It was Daniel on the line.  “I need to take this.” Adrian got up and went to the garden.  Once he picked up, Daniel said, “Sir, the Cowells sent you an invitation for a gathering at their home. I haven’t replied. Will
