The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 723

The old woman was Cheshire Tate, Owen’s wife, who had experienced many helpless situations throughout her life with Owen.

Hearing this, Owen turned around and asked, “Why don’t you have money to buy meat? Didn’t I just give you some money yesterday?”

Cheshire felt a wave of helplessness when she heard this.

“Have you forgotten that money was used to pay off our water and electricity bills? You spend most of your salary on your students. When are you going to start saving it up a little?

“Just look at yourself. None of your children are willing to take care of you, and we don’t even have the money to buy something as simple as meat!”

Cheshire was on the verge of tears. This was because Owen spent most of his salary on his students, which caused his son and daughter to abandon him.

However, Cheshire’s words did not seem to faze Owen, who continued to water the plants as he said, “Ask our daughter to lend us some money. I’ll pay her back when I get my salary in a few days‘ time.”

“This again?” Exasperated, Cheshire continued, “How much money have you asked her to lend you over the past few months? Shouldn’t you be giving her money to spend instead?”

“I’ll pay her back, won’t I?”

“What are you going to pay her back with? Your salary? It’s true you’re earning a decent sum, but you spend most of it on others. Have you ever thought about me? About how I’d feel?” Cheshire angrily asked.”

“We’ll be able to get by if we save up on our daily expenses, but those children are at the age where they’re supposed to be studying. What else do you expect them to do otherwise?”

“You’re always using them as an excuse, but how are we supposed to live our lives now that we don’t have any money?”

“Then ask Tom to lend us some money. I’ll pay him back once I receive the school’s sponsorship,” Owen said.

“What?!” Cheshire pounded her chest from all the helplessness she felt.

At that moment, the sound of a car’s engine could be heard. Owen and his wife turned over curiously, only to see a few cars driving through the campus and into the courtyard.

Confused, Owen put on his glasses. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

“Is that Tom’s car?” he asked.

Cheshire shook her head. “No, it isn’t. It looks like they’re from another department. Wyvern something.”

“Wyvern Peak?”

“Yes, that’s it! It’s written on the car’s number plate.”

Owen was surprised, unable to understand why Wyvern Peak would visit them. Being the headmaster, it was natural for him to know about Wyvern Peak and Internal Affairs.

Soon, the cars stopped outside the courtyard as Owen and his wife looked on curiously.

Adrian and Nyssa then alighted from one of the cars and walked toward them.

Curiously, Cheshire asked, “Who are you two?”

Adrian replied, “Long time no see, Mr. Owen.”

Owen adjusted his glasses. “You seem familiar, but I don’t remember your name.”

“Allow me to introduce myself. My codename is Draco, and I’m from Wyvern Peak.”

Owen and Cheshire were instantly shocked when they heard this.

Cheshire then pointed at Adrian and said, “Y–You’re…War Legate Draco?!”

“That’s right.” Adrian nodded.

“I wasn’t expecting you to be so young. What brings you here?”
