Chapter 75


    The Cowells grew increasingly excited when Violet said this.


    None of them were able to hold back their greed.


    “Hahaha! The Cowells will soon be a huge and powerful family!” Francis said excitedly, “Heaven


    is on our side. Bar will be part of Swallow Central, and the Cowells will grow to be a hugely


    reputable family!”


    To them, pride and ego were worthless notions at that point. In fact, they already assumed that Bar


    was theirs to im ownership of.


    They hadpletely forgotten about the agreement they made with Samantha when they epted her


    seven hundred and fifty thousand dors.


    That night, Samantha and Adrian returned home after she was done with her tasks at Bar.


    Rue had already prepared dinner and was waiting for the pair to return.


    “You’re home, Sam. Go wash your hands and let’s eat,” Rue hurriedly said.


    Despite being poor, Rue had never mistreated Samantha. Not even once.


    She would always make sure Samantha’s meals were nutritious to replenish her energy.


    To her, Samantha was her daughter–inw and held as much weight in her heart as Adaline. In fact,


    she already regarded Samantha as her own daughter a long time ago.


    Samantha was in a pretty good mood that day. She sat down with Adrian after washing her hands.Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.


    “I’ve got good news for you, Mother. Bar managed to get a contract worth four million and five


    hundred thousand dors with Nine Kings. Plus, we’ve chosen a decent spot in Swallow Central.


    “When everything is settled, we’ll deliver all the clothes we produce to Swallow Central to be sold. It


    won’t be long before I earn my first bucket of gold.” Samantha smiled from ear to ear.


    Rue was overjoyed when she heard this. “That’s wonderful, Sam! You’ve done really well. I’m sorry you


    haven’t been able to live a good life ever since marrying into the family.”


    At that moment, Rue shot a nce at Adrian and said, “Adrian, be sure to help Sam with thepany


    and help it grow. It was your father’s dream while he was alive.”


    Adrian nodded.


    Rue then turned to Samantha once more and said, “By the way, there’s something I’m not sure if I


    should tell you, but I’m having a really hard time holding it in.”


    “What is it, Mother?”


    “Now that Adrian’s back, don’t you think you two should…have a child together?”


    Rue’s sudden request plunged the dining room into silence.


    Samantha was stunned for a moment before her face and neck turned red.


    Meanwhile, Adrian was smiling away as he looked at her but chose to remain silent.


    “Let’s leave this for another time, Mother. I’ll be really busy with Bar for some time, so I’m worried


    that having a baby now might end up bing an inconvenience.”


    Rue sighed and said, “I’ve got all the time in the world now, so why don’t you have a baby and I’ll help


    you take care of it while you focus on your work?


    “Both your fathers have passed away for so many years and did not leave a single heir, so I thought I


    could help you two take care of your baby while I’m still young.”


    Samantha fell silent. She knew that Rue had been yearning for a grandchild for the longest time.


    Henry had passed away early, while Adrian had gone missing over the past seven years. Hence, it was


    only natural for Rue to yearn for them to have a child, now that Adrian had returned.


    Of course, Rue was also worried something bad might happen in the future.


    On one hand, Samantha did not wish to disappoint her mother–inw. On the other hand, she


    genuinely had no intentions of having a baby.


    Hence, she said, “How about this, Mother? We’ll have a child once things at Bar have settled down.”
