The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 158

Claim 1/2 Chapter 158 The next day, Leonard and Wilfred met up with Jaden. They wanted to get him to mobilize the Rivers’ resources to deal with Adrian and Samantha. Jaden pondered for a bit upon finding out Leonard and Wilfred’s intentions. He asked, “Mr. Leonard, are you incapable of dealing with someone as lowly as Samantha?” Leonard and Wilfred sighed upon hearing that. “Mr. Jaden, it’s not that we’re incapable of dealing with her but our family is affiliated with Adrian to a certain extent. I’m afraid that the others will gossip about us if we were to deal with her,” said Leonard in frustration. Jaden chuckled. “I understand, Mr. Leonard. So you’re trying to get someone else to take out Samantha, right? “The thing is, I can’t find it within myself to kill her because she’s so beautiful.”

Leonard said, “Mr. Jaden, Samantha is by no means a great beauty. Swallowston may not have much but there are plenty of beautiful girls here. One less Samantha will be nothing. Jaden, you’re investing in the Xander Group so you’re considered a member of the family. Do you think that you can figure out a way to help us in this matter?” Jaden nodded and said, “I can figure out a way for sure. By the way, Mr. Leonard. I’m not really interested in Samantha because I like your daughter, Riley, more. “I wish to pursue her, Mr. Leonard.” Riley was considered one of the rare beauties in Swallowston. On top of that, she was still single. Leonard and Wilfred exchanged a glance upon hearing Jaden’s remark. Leonard had not expected Jaden to be interested in his daughter. Meanwhile, Wilfred said softly, “Leonard, Riley will be marrying into an influential family if she marries Mr. Jaden. Our families would be considered in-laws from then on.

“Mr. Jaden is a fine young man too. I think Riley and him will make a good match.” Leonard pondered for a short while. Riley had refused to date anyone all this time and she was growing old. Jaden was the successor of Southnive’s River family and no one from Swallowston could compare to him in status and identity. Riley would be marrying into an influential family if she could marry Jaden. Leonard said at once, “So, you have feelings for Riley huh, Mr. Jaden?” Jaden replied, “That’s right, Mr. Leonard. Part of the reason I’m here is to secure a date with Riley, But I’m worried she won’t be interested in me.” “Don’t worry, Jaden,” Leonard sald, Tll be at ease if my Riley has a boyfriend like you, Mr. Jaden. How about we fix a time for you to seek permission to marry Riley from the family? I’ll talk to Riley about this. “What do you think?” 212 Jaden was overjoyed upon hearing this. He had dated countless women and had heard about the numerous beautiful women in Swallowston. Yet, the one that caught his attention was Riley. Jaden smiled upon hearing Leonard’s remark and immediately said, “Are you serious about me coming to seek permission for a marriage, Mr. Leonard? I’m afraid that Riley won’t be interested in me.” “Don’t worry. You’re a fine young man and a member of the River family, Mr. Jaden. Riley will be interested. Moreover, you have her father’s support,” said Leonard. “Great!” Jaden nodded eagerly. “If you say so, Mr. Leonard. I won’t hold back then.” Leonard beckoned Jaden to continue to speak. Jaden said, “In truth, it’s easy to get someone to kill Samantha. All you need to do is trick her into going to the Swallowston Business Hotel in the morning three days from now and she’ll be done for!” “Swallowston Business Hotel?” Leonard was stunned. Jaden nodded and said, “That’s right. If you can trick her into coming to the hotel, she will not walk out alive.”

Leonard and Wilfred were astonished. He asked, “Jaden, what’s going on? Are you going to send someone there?” Jaden shook his head. “I’m not going to send anyone but someone will show up. I won’t tell you about this matter in detail. Just do as I say and you’ll find out in three days.” “Sure, in that case, we won’t inquire any further.” Enjoy Ad Free ReadingNôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
