“Agreed”

Something very strange happened in Swallowston over the next two days.

Harold called for a board meeting at the Xander Group. He announced his retirement and that Leonard, his eldest son, would become the next director, while Wilfred would handle all matters related to Paraiso

The board of directors objected to Harold’s decision, but that was when something strange happened.

Jaden from the River family pumped in another seven million and three hundred thousand dollars into the Xander Group, buying out the majority of the shares and kicking out almost everyone on the board.

Shortly after, Jaden came to hold forty–nine percent share within just two days, owning only two percent less than Leonard,

A lot of people unrelated to the company were shocked when they heard this, believing that the Xander Group would be taken over by the River Group very soon.

Two days later, as Samantha and Adrian were having breakfast, Samantha learned about what was happening at the Xander Group

She did not know what else she could do except sigh when she read the news.

On the other hand, Rue seemed rather saddened by this. After all, Adrian’s father was the one who had built up the Xander Group and Paraiso

How could she possibly find it comforting to know that both companies were about to become someone else’s?

“Sam, is it really too late to save the Xander Group?” He could not help but ask Samantha when they sat down in the living room, still finding the situation rather pitiful.

“It’s obvious that Jaden is planning to chase Leonard out of the company and take over all of Xander Group’s shares. No one can save them now.” Samantha shook her head.

Rue heaved a sigh and looked at Adrian. “I’m not heartbroken that the Xander Group is gone, but Paraiso was Henry’s company. Many of his former employees are still there.

“I’d still feel Henry’s soul alive within Paraiso, so the thought of it falling into the River family’s hands just doesn’t sit right with me.” Rue wiped away her tears.

H

Rue and Henry had been freely in love and lived together blissfully after they got married. Henry would be out earning money for his family, while Hue stayed home to take care of the house and children.

Hue may not have been great at parenting, but she had taught both her children to become decent human beings.

Hence, she could not accept the fact that her husband’s company was about to fall into the hands of another family.

“Don’t overthink it, Mother. It won’t be that easy for the Rivers to take Paraiso away,” Samantha consoled.

Adrian suddenly spoke up at that moment, “Sam’s right. They aren’t taking Paraiso that easily.

“Sam, go visit Mandy and buy out Paraiso when I give you the signal.”

“What?” Samantha was taken aback. “You want me to buy Paraiso? How could I possibly do that? There’s no way I’ll be able to fight Jaden. Plus, he might end up buying out New Paraiso if we’re not careful.”

“I’ll handle it. I just need you to look for Mandy and tell her what you’re planning to do,”

After that, Adrian stood up, but Samantha hurriedly grabbed onto him and said, “What are you going to do? Don’t do

anything reckless. There’s no way Daniel will agree to help you every time. And please don’t ask him for favors so frequently when you can’t repay them.”

Samantha tried to dissuade Adrian, who merely replied, “Don’t worry, I have a plan.”
