The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 157

Chapter 157 Leonard’s brows furrowed when he saw Riley. Wilfred said in a sarcastic tone, “Riley, you’re on Adrian’s side now. Why do you still care if your brother survives or not?” “Riley, look at how badly Adrian beat up your brother. Aren’t you angry?” said Cecelia in tears upon seeing her daughter. “Get out of here! I don’t have a disappointing daughter like you!” Leonard roared and pointed at the door. Riley pursed her lips. In truth, she was here to try to persuade her family again. She said, “Father, Uncle Wilfred, Grandfather, I have something to tell you, and I hope that you will think it over carefully. The truth is that Adrian isn’t the person you imagine him to be. He didn’t come back to seize Paraiso either. But all you’ve done is humiliate him over and over since his return. Nobody in his shoes would be able to put up with that. “I think all of you should reach out to him to apologize and treat him better in the future. After all, he’s family too. Is it wrong to live together in peace and harmony?

Riley was trying to improve the relationship between the Xanders and Adrian. Harold said coldly as soon as he heard her remark, “Riley, are you trying to lecture me? Adrian beat up your brother to this extent, and yet you’re asking us to apologize to him?” Riley said, “Adrian hit Cedric because he had no other choice. Look at it from another angle. If you hadn’t provoked Adrian, would he have lashed out?” She wanted them to calm down and think properly, yet the Xanders could not be bothered with this. Harold said coldly. “That’s enough. In my opinion, you too are an ungrateful brat. The family will be better off without both of you. “We’re working with the Rivers now and I will not accept you even if you come crawling back when our family has grown more influential.”

Harold stated his stand clearly. Riley said, “Grandfather, you’re still dreaming about the Rivers helping you? Stop kidding yourself. The Rivers are only aiming for the family’s company and the land.” Wilfred interrupted Riley by saying, “Are you envious of us or something. Riley?” Riley was flustered. “Uncle Wilfred, I’m telling the truth. The Rivers have deceived you. Do not accept their. investment. Otherwise, you will come to regret it.” “You’re an ungrateful brat for saying that. Get out of here!” Harold could not stand Riley’s tone and berated her. “Riley, you should leave. Why are you here making sarcastic remarks when your brother is Injured?” said Cecelia to Riley as she wiped away her tears. Riley did not mind. She had expected the family to kick her out from the start. She added, “Don’t provoke Adrian anymore from now on. It’s your fault for doing a disservice to yourself first. Also, please put serious consideration into the Rivers’ investment. Chap 157 “Goodbye, Grandfather.” Riley turned around and walked out of the ward. Noticing that Riley was leaving, Harold said, “Look at the daughter you raised, Leonard. The family took care of her, yet she’s siding with an outsider.” Leonard was infuriated by Riley but he was at a loss for words for a moment. “She’s no daughter of mine!” he spat out. “Not only do I not feel any more favorable toward Adrian after hearing Riley’s remarks, it pis ses me off even more. Father, Wilfred, we won’t ever let Adrian go. “I’m going to meet Mr. Jaden first thing tomorrow. He has plenty of connections in Southrive. We’ll make Adrian and Samantha regret what they did!” Wilfred said with a murderous expression on his face. Leonard nodded.

“There’s also Mandy. I won’t let her off either! Hmph!” He grunted. Then, the Xanders began to cook up a plan to deal with Adrian and Samantha.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
