The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 46

Mario laughed. “He really is enjoying his life. Not only is he a deadbeat, but he seems really proud of it too, Hah!

“It’s a shame that Sam chose to marry such a loser despite her pretty looks.”

Samantha remained speechless, not knowing what to say.

Cassey then continued, “It’s decided then Wait for my call, Sam. I’m expecting you to attend my wedding. No excuses!”

The Mercedes Benz sped off, taking with it whatever good mood Samantha had earlier. She was so speechless that all she could think to say at that moment was, “What were you thinking, Adrian? It’s obvious she’s trying to humiliate me, so why would you agree to attend her wedding?”

‘I know very well what Cassey and her friends are like, she added silently.

“You have no idea what kind of criticisms they’re going to hurl at you if you don’t go. So, you have to come as well.”

“And you think they won’t if I do?” Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Well, they’ll hurl it at your face if you do.”

Samantha was confused. ‘What in the world is he thinking?”

“I doubt that will happen.”

Adrian then said, “They’re humiliating you because you aren’t dressed well. Do you think they’d still do it if you buy some nice clothes and change your style?

“People like them just want to insult you for fun. Plus, the insults will grow to become even worse if you don’t go. Are you really planning on avoiding them forever while they scorn you?

“Remember, you’re a human being with dignity.”

Samantha heaved a sigh when she heard all this.

‘Adrian’s right. I’ll have to keep avoiding them for the rest of my life if I don’t go. Worse, they’d talk about me behind my back.

‘I’m about to receive twenty thousand dollars, so I suppose I’d be less humiliated if I got myself some nice clothes and a purse.”

“You’re right. Who knows what kind of insults they’d be hurling at me if I don’t go.”

‘All right then, it’s settled… I have to attend Cassey’s wedding!‘ Samantha thought..

Adrian and Samantha went home after that fiasco.

Since they were attending Cassey’s wedding, it was Adrian’s duty to help Samantha regain her dignity from Cassey and her gang. He could not stand having Samantha laughed at and humiliated by a group of people she was once close to.

After arriving home, Adrian immediately left again, telling Rue that he was not going to have dinner at home that night. He was off to prepare a present for Samantha.

“Women absolutely adore jewelry, so I’m sure Sam will be able to score extra points at the wedding if I get her a necklace.”

Adrian contacted Danicl. He reckoned that Daniel would be very familiar with the shops in Swallowston, which was what happened on the phone as Daniel gave his report.

“Sir, Belle Van Cleef from Swallowston Jewelers is the best jeweler in Swallowston. She has the biggest collection of gems to trade.”

‘Belle? All right, have her come pick me up.”

“No problem. I’ll notify her right away,” said Daniel.

‘Belle Van Cleef of Swallowston Jewelers eh… What a talented woman!

‘She’s managed to take control of the gem market in her twenties, plus she’s beautiful with perfect curves and a powerful temperament. Not only is she the prettiest woman in Southrive, but she’s also even at the top of the list of the richest people there.

I’ve heard a lot about her family. She’s said to come from a mysterious family up north. Her image and identity are even better than the most popular female celebrity. She even has thousands of fans behind her.”

Swallowston Jewelers was the largest jewelry store in Southrive with more than a hundred chain stores. They even had hundreds more outside of the city.

As Belle was the newly–appointed director, Adrian knew that he’d made the right choice to purchase a necklace from her.

Shortly after that, Belle personally drove up to Samantha’s doorstep in her Pagani Huayra–a car that’s worth millions of dollars. Her arrival shocked the neighborhood residents.
