Chapter 115


    Adrian had many candidates in mind, but one particr person should prove to be of great help to


    Samantha.


    Adrian turned to look at Samantha and said, “Riley


    “Riley?”


    Samantha was really surprised when she heard this name, naturally knowing who Riley was since the


    woman was a Xander.


    Although she and Riley had not interacted with each other much, she could tell that Riley was the only


    one of the Xanders with a decent personality.


    The fact that Adrian brought up Riley’s name was proof that he acknowledged her,


    But..


    “Will she on me though?” Samantha asked in a worried tone.


    Adrian’s been at odds with his family for the longest time, so I doubt Riley will agree to help even ifi


    asked.‘


    Adrian simply smiled and said. “We’ll never know what she’ll say until we try.”


    He’s right Plus, Riley is indeed a capable woman, Samantha thought


    Riley had graduated from a reputable university and even learned a thing or two from Henry when she


    had been under his tutge


    “Should we invite her for a meeting?”


    “Sure. Do you have her number?”


    Samantha pondered for a while. “My friend might have her number. Let’s see…”


    She then dialed this friend’s number, asking whether she had Riley’s contact. Shortly after that, her

    Adrian picked up the phone and dialed Riley’s number, who answered shortly after it started ringing.


    “Hello?”


    Adrian said, “It’s me.”


    you?”


    Riley was rather stunned when she heard Adrian’s voice. “Adrian? Why are you calling me? Is


    something the matter?


    “Are you f


    “Now?”


    “Yeah.”


    free tonight? Can we meet up?”


    Riley pondered for a moment before saying, “Sure, where should we meet?”


    Adrian contemted, then replied. “There’s a diner near my ce. I’ll wait for you there.”


    “Okay,” answered Riley..


    After ending the call, Samantha sounded rather displeased as she said, “Why are you being so stingy?


    Riley’s your cousin. Plus, I may not have been in contact with her over the years, but I know she has


    gone out of her way to help Ada a few times.


    remember Ada was being bullied in schoolst year, and Riley went directly to the school when she


    found out.


    “She’s actually a decent girl, but I can’t say the same for her parents.”


    Samantha felt a little helpless at that point,


    Meanwhile, Adrian had nothing to say. Riley had always been protective of Adaline. Hence, it would be


    impossible for Adrian to change his opinion of her even though he had a huge grudge against Leonard


    “We aren’t that well off, so we should save up whenever we can. Plus, Riley’s family. Wherever we
