    Harold did not speak but he nodded.


    “You knew huh?” Riley huffed.

    Harold nodded again.


    Riley inhaled a deep breath and said, “Grandfather, Sam is your granddaughter-inw. You can scold


    her. but how could you bring yourself to have her killed?”


    Harold did not know how to answer her. He was utterly incapable of answering this question.


    Riley inhaled a deep breath and wiped her tears as she eximed, “Adrian is War Legate Draco!”


    The Xanders’ heads whipped up upon hearing this, including Harold.


    “What did you say, Riley?” Cecelia asked in astonishment.


    “Adrian is War Legate Draco. It was he who saved the hostages from the hotel the other day. It was


    also he who killed Luposia’s War Legate Hydra today.


    “You’ve made a horrible mistake, Grandfather. All of you did!”


    Cecilia’s jaw dropped.


    Faye’s mouth hung wide open, and so did Cedric’s and Jacob’s.


    Harold looked at Riley in a daze and said, ‘Repeat that, Riley… Did you say that Adrian is War Legate


    Draco? H-How is that possible?”


    “Nothing is impossible. The war legate you’ve dreamt of meeting and wished to extend an invitation to


    ist your grandson. Do you feel good knowing that?” Riley said calmly.


    Harold slumped into the sofa,pletely stupefied.


    All the Xanders were rendered speechless.


    They had always talked about the war legate and wanted to make his acquaintance so badly that they


    would dream about it. They never expected him to be a member of their family.


    Harold burst outughing so hard that tears rolled down his face.


    The rest of the Xanders were at a loss for whether tough or cry. Soon after, their hearts were


    overwhelmed by fear.


    Cecilia said through her tears, “Oh G od… What have we done? If I knew Adrian was the legate, I


    would’ve treated Samantha like she was my own.


    “How can this be happening?


    “Riley, since Adrian is the legate, can you beg him to release your father? Your father knows that what


    he did was wrong


    Cecilia begged Riley while crying profusely.


    Riley choved Cecilia away and said tearfully, “What are you trying to do? What have Father and Uncle


    Wilfred done over the years? They’ll never learn anything if they don’t suffer a little.


    “Father attempted to have Sam killed. How could Adrian possibly let him off? It’s already generous of


    Adrian to spare his life.”


    If someone else was in Adrian’s ce, Leonard and Wilfred would be dead already.


    Riley could tell that Adrian did it out of affection for his family to a certain extent.


    Upon saying that, Riley inhaled a deep breath. She said calmly, “Mother, Cedric, Grandfather, pack


    your things. I’m sending you away from Swallowston tomorrow. You are to return to the old family home


    in Pane County.


    “It’s troublesome if you continue to stay here.”


    “But thepany” Cecilia murmured.


    “Why are you still thinking about thepany at a time like this? Paraiso never belonged to you.


    What’s the point of taking something that isn’t yours?


    “Will you pray and atone for your sins when you’re back in the old family home? Think of it as me


    begging all of you.” Riley said tearfully.


    The Xanders could not stay in Swallowston any longer.


    Riley did not want them to stay either.


    Harold’s old family home in Pane County was still there.


    Harold calmed down and said, “Let’s listen to Riley’s instructions. Let’s go back to Pane.”


    “What? Father, we’ve just stabilized our position in Swallowton yet we’re going back already?


    “Adrian is the war legate. Shouldn’t he be helping us?” Cecilia was flustered.


    Harold turned his head. “Do you have the nerve to ept his help even if he wanted to?” Cecilia was


    stunned upon hearing this.
