Chapter 196


    Samantha slept fitfidly.


    It was most probably due to Adrian’spany.


    Samantha discovered that she was lying in Adrian’s arms when she woke up the next morning and her


    head was on Adrian’s


    Her face blushed ever so slightly and she hastily sat up. She was afraid that Adrian would wake up and


    tease her

    Samantha took a shower and put on a business suit. She went to wake Adrian after she was done.


    “Wake up” She shook him gently


    Adrian woke up and rubbed his eyes. His eyes lit up when he saw Samantha standing in front of him.


    The sight of her was breathtaking to him. She had a button nose and cherry–red lips and exuded a


    mature presence. Anyone whoid eyes upon her would not be able to help but stare at her because of


    her beautiful face which looked great from all angles.


    Adrian was no exception, of course.


    “Are you a fairy?” Adrian asked in a surprised tone.


    “What nonsense. Get up, quick Mother has prepared breakfast.” Samantha red at him.


    Adrian was bing more and more of a sweet talker.


    Samantha left the room after waking him.


    Adrian got up and the family gathered for breakdast


    During breakfast, Rue said, “Oh right, Sam. I heard from a neighbor this morning that Southrive’s River


    family has already invested in the Xander Group.


    “The Rivers has already wired seven million three hundred thousand dors worth of capital to the


    Xander Group. I also heard that Cedric and Jacob have bought a car worth more than one hundred


    forty thousand dors each.”


    The old neighbors were all big bbermouths. They were fond of criticizing and discussing other


    families because they had ample free time on their hands.


    Hence, the Xanders became the topic of their conversation that moming.


    Upon hearing this, Samantha said in frustration, “I really can’t figure out why Harold and the others are


    behaving like children despite their age. They’re constantly assuming that their family will rise again


    and that they’re blessed with good fortune. They’re really something else.”


    Adrian shook his head in frustration ton


    “Adrian, it seems that your grandfather is past the point of no return this time,” said Rue.


    Adrian fell silent. He had already done everything he could. He could not help Harold change his


    behavior. Besides, he had. already given up on Harold.


    He said, “Just leave them be.”


    Hur wanted to say something else, but she stopped herself. “He’s still your grandfather at the end of


    the day. Can you bear to see the Xanders being taken over by the other families?”


    Adrian said, “Harold will only learn his lesson by experiencing loss.”


    “Sigh…” Rue let out a sigh. “If your father was still alive, the Xanders wouldn’t be in its current state.”


    There was nothing much to say about that now because Henry was a piece of history.


    After breakfast, Adrian and Samantha headed to New Paraiso


    Their rtionship had improved perhaps due to them sharing a bed yesterday where Samantha had


    spent most of the night sleeping in Adrian’s arms.


    Samantha was less awkward than usual. She chatted andughed with Adrian like a joyful child.


    However, ra approached her as soon as they arrived at thepany.


    “Samantha, Danton ck of Swallowton’s ck family and also the president of Herbalis ising to


    thepany to discuss


    a coboration,” said ra.


    Samantha was slightly stunned.
