Chapter 246


    The address was that of Swallowston’s top high school.


    Kendall’s hometown was in Pane County, but he was working as a teacher in Swallowston.


    Looks like Kendall isn’t doing so well in life.‘


    Adrian reported to Samantha after obtaining Kendall’s address, who marked it down with the intention


    of looking for Kendall.


    He had nned to go with her but she had other ns for him. Instead, she asked Adrian to meet up


    with Riley to discuss Paraiso and the Xander Group.


    Now that Riley was in charge of the Xander Group, they could consider it having sessfully


    prevented thepany from falling into foreign hands.


    Of course, the Xander family would undergo massive changes now that Riley had taken over. Hence,


    Samantha prepared to coborate with the Xanders, but this would be something that would be more


    reliable if she knew Adrian and Riley were working together.


    Hearing this, Adrian decided not to refuse her instructions and made an appointment with Riley to meet


    up that afternoon.


    Meanwhile, Samantha drove off to meet Kendall. She was alone in handling this project, so she had


    Danton go with her.


    The pair picked up a few more people before they headed to Swallowston High.


    They decided to visit Pane County if they could not find him at the high school.


    Thus, both Samantha and Adrian had their own stuff to work on.


    Adrian met up with Riley in a cafe, who began talking about casual family matters after their discussion.


    Meanwhile, Samantha and Danton managed to locate Kendall at the high school.


    However, Samantha was unable to aplish her task on that trip.


    Samantha seemed exhausted when she returned home at eight that evening.


    Rue was already asleep, while Adrian wasying in bed and waiting for her to return.


    He smiled when he saw her walking in and asked, “How did it go? Did you find him?”


    Samantha nodded and straightened her hair before sitting down at the bedside. “I found him, but…”


    Samantha shook her head, and Adrian could tell that things had not gone smoothly for her.


    Tm beat. I need a shower first. We’ll talk after that,” Samantha said.


    She quickly washed up, not wanting to let Adrian walt for too long. She stood by the bed and was


    drying her hair with a towel as she asked, “First, let’s talk about you. How did your chat with Riley go?”


    “She is my cousin, so we have familial bonds. Plus, Riley has always been very ambitious. I’m sure


    she’s the best candidate to take over the Xander Group,” Adrian reported.


    “That’s good. I heard that Harold and the rest of the family are going to head back to his hometown in


    Pane County, is that right? I suppose that’s a good choice since Swallowston really isn’t the right ce


    for them.”


    Adrian merely smiled.N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    After Samantha was done drying her hair, she got onto the bed and put on her pajamas before sitting in


    front of Adrian.


    “Mr. Danton and I found Kendall at Swallowston High, but he didn’t seem to be doing very well


    mentally. He’s currently a history teacher and lives on campus when he’s working. He only goes back


    to Pane County during the weekends.”


    “What do you mean he isn’t well mentally?” Adrian asked.


    “Kendall refuses to tell us a word about what happened. Plus, his skin’s badly corroded with a lot of


    scars.


    I checked up on him and found his condition is because of the virus.


    “Also, he chased me out when I mentioned Henry’s name. He adamantly refused to cooperate.


    “I think it’s a lost cause.”


    Samantha plopped onto the bed in disappointment, seeming dejected.
