The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 228

Adrian left home after that.

Samantha was originally planning on stopping him but decided against it in the end.

“Ever since he came home, he seems very confident in himself every time he says he’s going to do something…

Meanwhile, Riley happened to nam into Adrian, the latter having just left the neighborhood.

She stopped her car and rolled down her window. “Where are you going, Adrian?”

Seeing Riley, Adrian walked toward her car and said, “I’m just about to head over to Paraiso. What are you doing here?”

“I was just about to go looking for you!

Adrian gestured and Riley nodded before they left the neighborhood together.

Inside the car, Riley said as she drove, “Do you know that both Paraiso and the Xander Group have been handed over to my Lather and Uncle Wilfred?” Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

Adrian nodded his head. “I do”

Riley continued, “Jaden has booted all of the company’s investors, turning himself into the second largest investor. You know what he’s aiming for, don’t you?”

Jaden wanted to boost his family’s wealth into becoming the strongest throughout all of Southrive by using the Xanders as his stepping stone

Adrian knew this, naturally.

Riley continued, “Plus, my father’s trying to push me over to Jaden. He wants me to be his partner and marry him. I feel like I’m being sold off.

“Paraiso belongs to your father, Adrian. I doubt he’d be happy if it fell into the Rivers‘ hands.” Inley turned to look at Adrian, who remained silent.

She had conse to seek him out today in the hopes he would be able to come up with something.

‘If Adrian can get his hands on Paraiso, I doubt he’d do anything to harm Father or Uncle Wilfred. After all, we’re a family.

‘However, if it falls into Jaden’s hands, the family will become nothing and end up becoming like a slave to him”

At that moment, Adrian sneered, causing Riley to purse her lips and say, “Now that Jaden’s in Paraiso, he’s laid off all the original employees and got people from his family to replace them.

“He did this because he wants to tum Paraiso into his own company. Yet, Uncle Wilfred still trusts him!

Adrian laughed and said, “What kind of man do you think Wilfred is?”

“He’s a complete idiot without any opinion of his own who only thinks about money all day.”

“Then none of this is out of the ordinary. Come on, let’s go to Paraiso,” Adrian said.

“What for?” Riley was confused.

“We’re going to arrest someone!” Adrian replied.

Riley was startled for a moment but did not think too deeply into t atter as she drove toward Paralso.

The pair soon arrived at Paraiso.

When they entered, a number of employees were carrying their belongings in the office building upstairs. All of them seemed

rather dejected.

It would seen as though they had been laid off.

“Uncle Jack? What are you guys doing?” Riley ran toward a middle–aged man who was about in his forties.

The man’s name was Jack Creek. He had been an employee of Paraiso for a long time.

Jack joined the company when he was in his twenties and climbed his way up the company under Henry’s leadership. He stayed in the company after Henry passed, and it was Riley who helped him up the corporate ladder a good many times.

When Jacksaw Riley nanning toward him, he said, “Riley?”

Riley nodded. “What are you guys doing, Uncle Jack?”
