Chapter 100


    The truth was, Cedric had no idea where thisrge sum of money woulde from.


    He was a deadbeat and was clueless about rumming apany. Yet, Harold regarded him as one of


    his best grandsons. Harold thought very highly of him.


    Riley was furious beyondparison upon hearing Cedric’s remark


    Receive arge sum of money?”


    Riley said, “Cedric, you don’t even go out to secure business deals and spend all day flirting with


    women and drinking here. Everyone in thepany knows that.


    “Didn’t you sleep with a married employee once? The woman’s husband came seeking justice from the


    company.


    “You’re going to inflict great damage sooner orter if you keep doing this.”


    Riley appeared worried.


    Cedric raised his head and burst outughing. “You think too much, Riley. I’ve never yielded to anyone


    in Swallowston. No one in the city dares to im that they’re more capable than me.


    “I believe that I deserve to enjoy the process before 1 seed in my career.”


    Cedric leaned back into his chair.


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    Riley was at a loss for words to nag him with. She inhaled a deep breath and said, “y then, Cedric.


    If you say so, nothing much else that I can say either.


    there’s


    “I can’t save thepany, so I’ll leave that to the both of you. I will hand in my resignation to


    Grandfather tonight.”


    Riley ced all the folders in her hands on the table. She then turned around and walked out of the


    office.


    Cedric called out after witnessing the situation, “What are you doing, Riley? You’re going to regret this.”


    Riley did not wish to reply and was utterly disappointed in the whole family.


    Ever since Henry’s passing, she witnessed how her grandfather had treated Adrian’s family.


    She was constantly hesitating and her mind had been wandering over the years. When she saw


    Paraiso’s current state, finally came to realize that the Xanders would pay the price for their actions one


    day.


    she


    Riley was the only reasonable member of the Xander family. She attempted to reach out to Adaline


    over the years so she could get close to her cousin.


    However, Adaline had always thought of her as an enemy because she was Leonard’s daughter. This


    fact made Adaline very


    uneasy.


    Yet, there was nothing Riley could do. She could only watch helplessly and do nothing as these events


    transpired because she too was a Xander.


    Hiley left Paraiso in frustration


    However, she saw a car driving into thepany building as she was exiting the building.


    The car stopped and a man and a woman got out.


    Riley was instantly stunned when she saw the man.


    “Adrian?” Riley called out.


    She knew that Adrian was back but she had yet to cross paths with him.


    Riley was Adrian’s cousin and they had been quite close when they were younger. Riley sympathized


    with Adrian for the


    radical changes he faced in his life but Adrian’s family loathed her because of Leonard.


    Riley’s eyes reddened with tears.


    Meanwhile, Adrian and Mya got out of the car and gazed at the buikling.


    Adrian said, “Thepany has undergone major changes and ispletely different from how it was


    seven years ago, Mya, I’ll leave thepany in your care after 1 acquire it.”


    Mya, who was standing next to him, nodded.
