Rue understood all of the Xanders very well.
It was a waste that Henry had passed away at such a young age.
Samantha said, “You’re right about my uncles-in-law being idiots. All they do is be angry and scold people all day long. On the other hand, their sons, Cedric and Jacob, are always stealing money from the company so they can spend it on partying with women.”
In truth, that was something Samantha had wanted to say all this time. However, she found it
inappropriate to say in the past when Adrian was not around.
She continued, “I really can’t figure out why my father-in-law is so outstanding while his two older brothers are so useless. Moreover, their sons are even worse.”
Rue chuckled upon hearing that.
She glanced at Samantha and said, “Sam, Henry inherited his mother’s talents and willingness to work hard. On the other hand, your uncles-in-law inherited their father’s laziness.
“You have no idea how lazy Harold was in the beginning. I heard from Henry that your grandmother chose to be
with him because he was good-looking when he was young
“Your grandmother-in-law was born to a scholarly family. All I know is that she was the heiress of an influential family but her family cut ties with her when she married Harold.”
Samantha could not help feeling slightly astonished upon hearing this for the first time.
She asked. “Mother, what was her name?”
Rue said, “Your grandmother-in-law’s last name was Harts. She called herself ‘Layla’ but she had changed her name after marrying Harold. I dont know what her name was before that.”
Samantha pouted and turned her head to look at Adrian. She had never heard of a family by the name of ” Harts in Southrive.
It seemed that Adrian’s grandmother had originated from a family beyond Dragonshire’s Southrive.
“What’s on your mind, Adrian?” Samantha asked in puzzlement after noticing his silence.
Adrian did not answer her question immediately.
In truth, he knew which family Harold’s wife, Layla-also his grandmother-originated from.
She belonged to the Hart family from Gorgonshire in Northrive.
The Hart family was one of the top three most influential families in Northrive. These families had sent Adrian and his troops a large batch of resources when he was on a campaign in Northrive.
At the time, one of the people who braved the storm of bullets to deliver the resources had the last name Hart.”
That man was a member of Northrive’s Hart family.
If Layla was from an influential family, it was highly possible that she came from Northrive’s Hart family. This was because there were nine states on the map of Navia and there was only one Hart family that was located in the Northrive zone.
“Adrian,” Samantha called out to him again when she noticed that he was distracted.
Adrian was jolted back to reality and hastily said, “Uh, nothing. I was distracted thinking about something
22
earlier.”
Noticing the situation, Samantha asked, “What were you thinking about? Did you hear what I was talking to you about earlier?”
Adrian smiled and said, “Let’s not bother ourselves with the Xanders’ affairs. It’d be best for you to concentrate on managing New Paraiso, Sam. I think that there will be quite a number of people attending the opening ceremony tomorrow.
“You should sleep early and make yourself look pretty tomorrow. That will be great.”
Samantha nodded upon hearing Adrian’s remark.
After dinner, Samantha showered and returned to her room to rest.
On the other hand, Adrian pulled out his phone and called Daniel.
Adrian said, “Daniel, reach out to Battle Warrior Skylar in Northrive and get him to look into the Hart.
family. I would like to know if they had an heiress that married and relocated to Swallowston a few decades ago.
“Get Skylar to call me back.”
“Yes, sir.”
