Chapter 137


    Something happened at Xander Manor this afternoon that excited all the Xanders.


    Harold was sitting at home when Leonard walked into the house in excitement. “Father, the heir of


    Southrie’s River family, Jaden, is here in Swallowston. I’ve invited him to our home.”


    Harold immediately raised his head upon hearing that “Are you serious, Leonard? You managed to


    invite Jaden to our home?”


    Harold was beyond excited.


    The River family was listed as the most influential family in Southrive.


    Back in those years, Harold and the patriarch of the Rivers had been acquaintances. Afterward, the


    Rivers grew more powerful and Harold failed to keep in touch with him because Harold was beneath


    their level.


    He had not expected Leonard would sessfully invite Jaden to their home


    Meanwhile, the Xanders rushed into the house as Wilfred announced, “Father, Mr. Jaden is here!!


    A young man wearing a suit walked into the house.


    Noticing the situation, Harold hastily stood up and said, “You’re here, Jaden. Have a seat, please, have


    a seat…”


    The young man was Jaden River. He was a member of Southrive’s River family. Jaden was rather


    well–known in Southrive.


    It was absolutely wonderful that the Xanders managed to invite him as a guest today.


    Jaden walked into the house and said to Harold, “It has been a long time, Mr. Harold.”


    Harold burst out inughter. “That’s right, it has been a long time. You were thirteen years old when I


    last saw you. You’ve grown so much in the blink of an eye!”


    “Jaden, why are you still standing there? Come. Sit down” Cecilia nudged him to take a seat.


    The Xanders hastily attended to Jaden’s needs.


    The Xanders sat down as Harold asked, “It’s been a long time since you visited Swallowston, Jaden.


    What brings you here today?


    Jaden nodded. “I have some matters to attend to here. My family is nning on opening another


    branch in Swallowston. My father and grandfather assigned the task to me.


    “Hence, I’m here in search of apany to coborate with my family so that I may disy my


    capabilities in Swallowston,” The Xanders started discussing animatedly hearing Jaden’s words.


    “So, Mr. Jaden is here to look for apany to coborate with.”


    “Yes, yes. It’ll be incredible if our family gets to coborate with the Rivers.”


    “I hope we’ll be selected.”


    The Xanders discussed in hushed whispers.


    Leonard asked, “Mr. Jaden, what are your ns?”


    Jaden said, “My n is to invest in apany in Swallowston, and when that business grows, it will


    bear the River family name. I believe that it won’t take long before thepany grows to be the


    most powerfulpany in Swallowston.”Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org.


    Hiss!


    All the Xanders inhaled sharply


    This information came as a timely assistance to them.


    The Xander Group had failed to expand all this time while Paraiso was about to go bankrupt. The


    Xander Group would rise


    again if Jaden was willing to invest in theirpany.


    “Jaden, you’vee to the right ce if you want to invest in Swallowston,” said Harold.


    Jaden smiled. In truth, he had chosen the Xander Group before evening to visit Xander Manor


    today because he wanted to acquire and take over the Xander Grouppletely.


    Otherwise, he would never have epted Leonard’s invitation.


    Jaden smiled and said, “Mr. Harold, the Xanders have done very well in Swallowston so far.”


    Harold hastily said, “You’re right, Jaden. Even though our family is not as powerful as the others, our


    company has been


    around for many years. If you’re willing to invest in the Xander Group, I believe that our families will


    grow thepany into the biggest enterprise in Swallowston through our joint efforts”
