The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 127

“Mr. Adrian

Samantha was lost for words when she saw how friendly Magnus was being. She shot a glance at the chancellor and thought that he was rather strange.

But before she could say anything, Magnus extended his hand toward his office. “Please come in. You must be Mr. Adrian’s wife, right?”

Samantha was slightly stunned when Magnus looked at her, not expecting the friendliness he was showing Adrian

She pursed her lips and said, “Hello, Mr. Magnus My name is Samantha Cowell. I’m Ada’s sister–in– law”

Magnus nodded and gestured for the couple to enter his office.

Samantha behaved courteously, but Adrian had already plopped himself on the sofa while Magnus poured them some coffee.

“Who’s the guy?” Adrian went straight to the point.

Things were going completely differently from what Samantha had imagined. In her mind, she thought that the chancellor would be on the other party’s side and lash out in anger, while she would have to apologize profusely to try and quell the

situation

But now, it would seem as though Adnan had the upper hand, while she herself did not even need to say a single word.

Magnus replied, “The man who took a fancy to Ada is Dylan Layman, the eldest son of the Layman family. You’ve probably heard of Bucky Layman, the current family head. He’s a really famous underworld boxing champion.

“The Laymans are powerful. Very few would be brave enough to provoke them

“On top of that, Bucky is known to be a ruthless man, so everyone tries to stay out of his way out of fear of him. ”

Samantha shuddered when the Laymans were mentioned.

She never expected Adaline would slap a member of such a powerful family. This left her at a loss for words or ideas to resolve

the situation

The Laymans were notorious throughout Swallowston for being ruthless, while Bucky was an arrogant man who cared for no

She took a deep breath and said, “How did it end up being Ada provoking Dylan? It’s obvious he was the one who bullied her.”

Magnus smiled warily and said, “That’s just how the Laymans are, Ms. Samantha Dylan’s taken a fancy to Ada’s looks and has been relentlessly wooing her over the past few days.

“Adaline ended up slapping him due to how straight forward she is, which in turn blew up the situation.

“Bucky was furious when he heard that a girl dared to lay her hands on his son, and I’m guessing he’ll be here with his men this afternoon.”

“What should we do?” Samantha panicked as she looked at Adrian

However, be merely leaned into the sofa as he calmly sipped his coffee.

Despite Adrian’s silence, Magnus knew all too well that the Laymans were most likely going to become history now that Adrian was sitting in his office.

“What do w… Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Mr. Adrian? Magnus Implored.

Adrian adjusted his posture and looked at Magnus. “We haven’t had lunch yet, so get someone to bring us some food first.”

“Of course,” Magnus hurriedly said.

He immediately called for someone to bring them food.

”

Meanwhile, Samantha was extremely shocked. She pulled at Adrian’s arm and whispered, “What are you doing?”

“He’s completely different from how he’d usually react. It’s like he’s a different person altogether. But for some reason, Magmus is still being so respectful toward him.‘

“You must be tired from all that driving, so why don’t you eat something and get some rest first? By the way, could you please call Mother and tell her that Ada’s okay?” Adrian said

Samantha did not comment any further and did as she was asked. Yet, she felt anxious.

Soon, two delicious–looking lunch boxes were delivered to Magnus‘ office, to which Adrian immediately began to dig in.
