The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 146

Samantha realized she was no longer able to figure out Adrian’s thought

Still, she chose not to think too much since time was of the essence.

Instead, she brought Rue with her to New Paraiso’s official opening ceremony.

Meanwhile, Adrian had someone deliver him a car so that he could drive over to Swallowston Cemetery.

The area was rather quiet, seeing how it was in the suburbs.

The cemetery was not luxurious per se, but it was the place where Layla Hart, Adrian’s grandmother, rested.

Adrian did not know much about Layla’s life, but from what he knew, she was born into the Hart family– a wealthy family in Northrive. She had gone through life with a silver spoon in her mouth, receiving the best education possible.

When Layla grew up, she became not only the most beautiful woman in Northrive but a learned one.

Perhaps it was during the later years of her life that she crossed paths with Harold and got together with

her. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Despite her family’s objections, Layla went on to marry into the Xander family and later helped him form the Xander Group.

In the end, Harold’s three sons grew up, with Henry single–handedly developing the company to become the strongest company in Swallowston after he graduated from university.

Later on, Henry left the Xanders and formed his own company–Paraiso. His company also became a highly reputable business in Southrive after a few years.

Unfortunately, Layla passed away due to a chronic illness, and Henry soon followed her to the grave due to an accident.

Harold took Paraiso away, which Adrian should have inherited. That was when the Xanders began to

nosedive.

Layla had not left behind much of a legacy, but she did help Harold, an average Joe, become the owner of the Xander Group. On top of that, she also raised Henry–a son with extraordinary capabilities.

All in all, she had given up her entire youth for her family’s sake, and that was what made her a grandmother to be proud of in Adrian’s eyes.

Adrian parked his car outside the cemetery when he arrived. There were not that many people around the area. He then walked in with two flowers in hand, searching for Layla’s grave based on memory.

Soon after, he arrived at a tidy–looking grave with no weeds in sight. Adrian believed that Riley was the one to thank for Layla’s grave remaining so

pristine after a decade.

‘I doubt anyone from the Xander family would come to visit unless it was her death anniversary.”

Meanwhile, there was another grave just next to Layla’s, which was also very tidy with zero weeds.

This was where Henry, Adrian’s father, lied.

Adrian walked over and first placed a flower before Layla’s grave before placing the other before Henry’s.

After that, he sat down before both graves.

He was suddenly at a loss for words as he gazed at both his grandmother’s and father’s photos. He had never visited them since he left seven years ago.

At that moment, Adrian realized that his life had been filled with laughable moments.

This was especially true as an air of sadness loomed over him as he sat in that quiet cemetery. After a while….
