The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 137

Something happened at Xander Manor this afternoon that excited all the Xanders.

Harold was sitting at home when Leonard walked into the house in excitement. “Father, the heir of Southrie’s River family, Jaden, is here in Swallowston. I’ve invited him to our home.”

Harold immediately raised his head upon hearing that “Are you serious, Leonard? You managed to invite Jaden to our home?”

Harold was beyond excited.

The River family was listed as the most influential family in Southrive.

Back in those years, Harold and the patriarch of the Rivers had been acquaintances. Afterward, the Rivers grew more powerful and Harold failed to keep in touch with him because Harold was beneath their level.

He had not expected Leonard would successfully invite Jaden to their home

Meanwhile, the Xanders rushed into the house as Wilfred announced, “Father, Mr. Jaden is here!!

A young man wearing a suit walked into the house.

Noticing the situation, Harold hastily stood up and said, “You’re here, Jaden. Have a seat, please, have a seat…”

The young man was Jaden River. He was a member of Southrive’s River family. Jaden was rather well–known in Southrive.

It was absolutely wonderful that the Xanders managed to invite him as a guest today.

Jaden walked into the house and said to Harold, “It has been a long time, Mr. Harold.”

Harold burst out in laughter. “That’s right, it has been a long time. You were thirteen years old when I last saw you. You’ve grown so much in the blink of an eye!”

“Jaden, why are you still standing there? Come. Sit down” Cecilia nudged him to take a seat.

The Xanders hastily attended to Jaden’s needs.

The Xanders sat down as Harold asked, “It’s been a long time since you visited Swallowston, Jaden. What brings you here today?

Jaden nodded. “I have some matters to attend to here. My family is planning on opening another branch in Swallowston. My father and grandfather assigned the task to me.

“Hence, I’m here in search of a company to collaborate with my family so that I may display my capabilities in Swallowston,” The Xanders started discussing animatedly hearing Jaden’s words.

“So, Mr. Jaden is here to look for a company to collaborate with.”

“Yes, yes. It’ll be incredible if our family gets to collaborate with the Rivers.” Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“I hope we’ll be selected.”

The Xanders discussed in hushed whispers.

Leonard asked, “Mr. Jaden, what are your plans?”

Jaden said, “My plan is to invest in a company in Swallowston, and when that business grows, it will bear the River family name. I believe that it won’t take long before the company grows to become the most powerful company in Swallowston.”

Hiss!

All the Xanders inhaled sharply

This information came as a timely assistance to them.

The Xander Group had failed to expand all this time while Paraiso was about to go bankrupt. The Xander Group would rise

again if Jaden was willing to invest in their company.

“Jaden, you’ve come to the right place if you want to invest in Swallowston,” said Harold.

Jaden smiled. In truth, he had chosen the Xander Group before even coming to visit Xander Manor today because he wanted to acquire and take over the Xander Group completely.

Otherwise, he would never have accepted Leonard’s invitation.

Jaden smiled and said, “Mr. Harold, the Xanders have done very well in Swallowston so far.”

Harold hastily said, “You’re right, Jaden. Even though our family is not as powerful as the others, our company has been

around for many years. If you’re willing to invest in the Xander Group, I believe that our families will grow the company into the biggest enterprise in Swallowston through our joint efforts”
