The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 112

Alas, Samantha’s show of respect was not received in kind.

“Who are you to call me ‘grandfather? I don’t acknowledge you.” Harold admonished.

Leonard had a menacing look on his face as he angrily said, “Drop the act. Samantha. What makes you think you’re worthy of being a Xander?”

He then shot an even angrier look at Adrian before he stepped up and said, 1 was just about to find you to settle a score for beating up my son, Adrian.”

Samantha was initially embarrassed, but instantly became confused when she heard what Leonard said.

‘Adrian beat up Cedric? When?

“I’d advise you to mind your tone, Leonard. You’re free to disregard my father as your sibling, which means I’m also free to disregard you as my relative,” Adrian retorted.

After that, he took hold of Samantha’s hand. “Let’s go.

Samantha nodded, not wanting to be involved with the Xanders either.

Cecilia watched as the couple walked into the club and said, “Father, that was so rude of them. Do they even have any respect for you?”

Harold became furious and questioned Adrian by saying. “Is this how you’ve been taught to treat your elders? No matter what, I’m still your grandfather!

“Have some dignity, will you?” Adrian turned around to reply.

“What?” Harold was left dumbfounded for a moment.

“I wouldn’t harbor a grudge if you had dictated yourself like a proper grandfather, but I’m amazed how you’re able to utter such words with a straight face.

“Have you ever treated me like a human being since my father died?” Adrian said.

Harold was left stumped at that point, and his face turned beet red.

Seeing this, Leonard furiously said, “What’s the meaning of this, Adrian? How could you hold a grudge against your grandfather while being a deadbeat yourself?!

“It’s your fault for trying to seize the family business in the first place, and yet you blame us for your misdeeds?

Leonard was able to say all that with a straight face, which Adrian found laughable.

That’s the biggest joke in the whole wide world.”

“Looks like you’re even more shameless than your father, Leonard. Don’t you know who owns Paraiso? | dare you to ask anyone in Swallowston that question and see what answer you get.

1 wanted to take over the business? You must be joking. What makes you think I’d want your measly assets?” Adrian said without restraint, which left Leonard speechless.

Alas, shameless people never know when to back down, and the same went for Leonard. When he could

no longer win that argument, he immediately changed the topic and said, “Our assets are measly to you, eh? I doubt you’re even able to secure a proper meal for your family right now.”

The Xanders laughed when they heard this.

Wilfred suddenly stepped in and said, “He’s probably living such a tough life that he won’t be able to remedy his situation even if his wife became a prostitute.”

“Hahaha! The younger Xanders laughed even harder.

However, this was just the spark that sent Adrian into a rage. He stepped forward and grabbed Wilfred by the collar.

Repeat that sentence, Wilfred, I dare you. Go on. Say it. Adrian furiously said.

Wilfred was shocked and yelled, “Let me go, Adrian! I’m your uncle! This is preposterous!”

“Let him go, Adrian.” Samantha thought her husband was overreacting as well.

Wilfred’s still his uncle at the end of the day.” Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

She stepped up to pull Adrian back, but he pushed her away.

He stared at Wilfred and said, “I asked you to repeat what you just said if you dare. Or are you too cowardly to say it?“
