Chapter 10


    Not long after they arrived home, there was a knock at the door.


    Rue went to get it and when she saw who it was, she frowned. “ra, Simon, why are you here?”


    The woman was ra Cowell, Samantha’s cousin.


    ra had always been her grandmother’s favorite, but she could not stand how Samantha was doing


    better than her so she would always try to one-up Samantha.


    She came up with all sorts of schemes. Once, she even tried to make Samantha marry a disabled man.


    The worse Samantha’s life was, the happier ra would be.


    The man standing beside ra was her fiance, Simon ck, the eldest of the ck family children.


    Rue did not want to see them, so she quickly closed the door to stop them froming in. However,


    ra was able to push her way in and frowned. “Why are you so anxious, Rue? I’m here to see


    Samantha.”


    Rue was pushed aside.


    ra and Simon walked in and looked around.


    “What business do you have with Sam?” Adrian, who was sitting on the couch, asked when he saw


    them.


    That was when they noticed him.


    After they took a good look at him, ra chuckled. “Adrian Xander. I heard from the Xanders that


    you’re back. I guess you really are.”


    Simon smiled and said, “Adrian, is your wife home? We’d like to take her out. We’ve made reservations


    at a pub, so she won’t being back sober. Haha.”


    “All right, enough with the bullsh*t.” ra crossed her arms.


    “My grandmother asked me toe to see Samantha because we’re going to work with the


    Yellowstone Group. Grandmother wants her to meet George of the Livingston family.


    “Adrian, get your wife out here and have her dress up nicely. If we’rete, it’s going to be a problem,”


    ra said confidently.


    After Samantha married into the Xander family, Henry passed away and hispany, Paraiso, fell


    apart. The Cowells, who had always cared more about money and power, looked down on Samantha.


    Her grandmother, Violet Barker, did so as well.


    Adrian asked, “Is this one of your schemes?”


    ra smirked and side-eyed Adrian. “Why do you have so much to say? Get your wife to dress up.


    How she treats Mr. George will determine if we get to sign the partnership agreement with them or not.”


    “Hurry up. Where’s your wife?” Simon frowned and raised his voice.


    Violet had Samantha kicked out of the family home years ago. But now that they needed her help, they


    were not ashamed to drag her along.


    Adrian knew what Samantha’s family was like.


    “Get out of here,” Adrian said calmly.


    ra and Simon lost their tempers when they heard this.


    ra said, “Adrian, don’t be so arrogant. Do you know who the Livingstons are? George’s dad is one


    of the top ten richest men in Swallowston. Even the richest man, Donald Kushner, respects him. Who


    are you?!”


    Simon joined in. “Enough, Adrian. Tell your wife toe out. We’ll all be in trouble when Mr. George


    arrives. You’re just a soldier—nothingpared to him. He could get rid of you with just a finger!”


    ra and Simon were both furious.


    Seeing that Adrian was not moving, ra repeated. “Adrian, this is my grandmother’s order. Do you


    think Samantha will disobey her?”


    Adrian looked at them, then replied, “Seeing as you’re Sam’s cousin, I’m going to give you one chance.


    I won’t take action if you leave now. But let me remind you that I have a temper.”


    “You’re just a soldier who served for a few years. How could you disrespect Mr. George? Just wait. I’m


    going to call him and ask him toe over. After he kills you, your wife will be his,” Simon said as


    he pointed a finger at Adrian.


    “Simon, there’s no need to reason with him. Call Mr. George,” ra said.


    Adrian ignored them and continued reading on the couch.

    Simon started making the call and it was picked up quickly. “Hello, Mr. George? It’s Simon ck. Could


    you bring some men to Samantha Cowell’s home? Yes, her husband’s ce. He’s so arrogant he


    doesn’t think you’re important. All right, we’ll be here waiting.”


    After he hung up, he sniggered.


    “He’ll be here very soon. No one can save you now.” Simon pointed at Adrian.


    “I’d like to see you beg for your life. George’s father is one of the richest men in Swallowston. No one


    dares to defy his wishes. We’re going to have a good show.” ra covered her mouth and giggled.


    Adrian looked up at both of them, then said, “If he doesn’t show up, I’m going to tear you two new


    mouths.”


    “You’re such an arrogant thing. I’ll see how long you’ll keep this up when Mr. George shows up,” ra


    scoffed.


    Adrian ignored them but picked up his phone to send a message. He then continued reading his book.


    ra frowned when she saw what Adrian did because she was disgusted. He was supposed to be


    very afraid, but he remained absolutely calm.


    ‘He must just be pretending,’ she thought.


    ra squinted and smirked. “Simon, men like him just love pretending to be tough. When Mr. George


    gets here, he’ll probably pee his pants.”


    Simon nodded. “You’re right. I’ve seen lots of men like him. He’s going to get a good beating after this. I


    feel sorry for him. His wife is going to be taken away and he’s going to lose his legs.”


    ra and Simon shook their heads, then stood there awaiting Mr. George’s arrival.
