Chapter 127


    “Mr. Adrian


    Samantha was lost for words when she saw how friendly Magnus was being. She shot a nce at the


    chancellor and thought that he was rather strange.


    But before she could say anything, Magnus extended his hand toward his office. “Pleasee in. You


    must be Mr. Adrian’s wife, right?”


    Samantha was slightly stunned when Magnus looked at her, not expecting the friendliness he was


    showing Adrian


    She pursed her lips and said, “Hello, Mr. Magnus My name is Samantha Cowell. I’m Ada’s sister–in–


    law”


    Magnus nodded and gestured for the couple to enter his office.


    Samantha behaved courteously, but Adrian had already plopped himself on the sofa while Magnus


    poured them some coffee.


    “Who’s the guy?” Adrian went straight to the point.


    Things were goingpletely differently from what Samantha had imagined. In her mind, she thought


    that the chancellor would be on the other party’s side andsh out in anger, while she would have to


    apologize profusely to try and quell the


    situation


    But now, it would seem as though Adnan had the upper hand, while she herself did not even need to


    say a single word.


    Magnus replied, “The man who took a fancy to Ada is Dn Layman, the eldest son of the Layman


    family. You’ve probably heard of Bucky Layman, the current family head. He’s a really famous


    underworld boxing champion.


    “The Laymans are powerful. Very few would be brave enough to provoke them


    “On top of that, Bucky is known to be a ruthless man, so everyone tries to stay out of his way out of


    fear of him. ”


    Samantha shuddered when the Laymans were mentioned.


    She never expected Adaline would p a member of such a powerful family. This left her at a loss for


    words or ideas to resolve


    the situation


    The Laymans were notorious throughout Swallowston for being ruthless, while Bucky was an arrogant


    man who cared for no


    She took a deep breath and said, “How did it end up being Ada provoking Dn? It’s obvious he was


    the one who bullied her.”


    Magnus smiled warily and said, “That’s just how the Laymans are, Ms. Samantha Dn’s taken a fancy


    to Ada’s looks and has been relentlessly wooing her over the past few days.


    “Adaline ended up pping him due to how straight forward she is, which in turn blew up the situation.


    “Bucky was furious when he heard that a girl dared toy her hands on his son, and I’m guessing he’ll


    be here with his men this afternoon.”


    “What should we do?” Samantha panicked as she looked at Adrian


    However, be merely leaned into the sofa as he calmly sipped his coffee.


    Despite Adrian’s silence, Magnus knew all too well that the Laymans were most likely going to be


    history now that Adrian was sitting in his office.


    “What do w…


    Mr. Adrian? Magnus Implored.

    Adrian adjusted his posture and looked at Magnus. “We haven’t had lunch yet, so get someone to bring


    us some food first.”


    “Of course,” Magnus hurriedly said.


    He immediately called for someone to bring them food.


    ”


    Meanwhile, Samantha was extremely shocked. She pulled at Adrian’s arm and whispered, “What are


    you doing?”


    “He’spletely different from how he’d usually react. It’s like he’s a different person altogether. But for


    some reason, Magmus is still being so respectful toward him.‘


    “You must be tired from all that driving, so why don’t you eat something and get some rest first? By the


    way, could you please call Mother and tell her that Ada’s okay?” Adrian said


    Samantha did notment any further and did as she was asked. Yet, she felt anxious.


    Soon, two delicious–looking lunch boxes were delivered to Magnus‘ office, to which Adrian immediately


    began to dig in.
