Chapter 235

“Jaden tricked me, Riley. You have to believe me,” Leonard said in a panic to his tearful daughter.

Riley had been constantly advising Leonard of what was happening, but he just would not listen to her.

Crying, Riley said, “What else do you think is going to happen now, Father? You two should confess to your sins at the Battle Warrior Department later and hope that you’ll get a lighter sentence!”

-…

Both Leonard and Wilfred were completely dumbfounded, trembling away at what they just heard.

Meanwhile, Jaden laughed uproariously and said, “None of you are getting away with this. Leonard, Wilfred, we’re now on the same side, which means you’re my accomplices. In other words, it won’t be easy for either of you to get away scot–free.”

“I’m going to f*cking kill you!” Leonard yelled as he charged toward Jaden

However, a bodyguard stepped out and threw Leonard onto the floor.

“Father“” Riley yelled and ran over, helping Leonard back to his feet.

Leonard yelled, “I trusted you, Jaden! How could you do this to me?! As the director of both the Xander Group and Paraiso, I hereby retract all of your shares and mitigate all your investments!”

Jaden laughed. “It’s too late. The Rivers now have both companies in our possession. Our contract clearly states that you have no power to take away my investments”

Lennard broke down. He had no idea what to do.

Wilfred was frozen to the spot, his mind gone blank from the turn of events.

Riley cried and said, “I warned you, Father. I told you Jaden must have his motives for investing in us, but neither you nor Grandfather believed me. Do you regret it now?”

“It’s too late…” Leonard trembled as he munnured.

Meanwhile, Jaden took a step forward and respectfully said, “Sir, these people already know our secret, so I suggest we kill them and wipe off the Xanders from existence.”

“What?!”

Riley looked up and trembled.

Bath Leonard and Wilfred’s mouths hung wide open.

At that moment, Hydra nodded and gestured, “Kill them.”

Suddenly, like lightning, a bodyguard appeared before them and whipped out a dagger before charging toward Riley.

Riley just sat there with her eyes open as she watched the dagger fly toward her neck like a flash of light.

Just as the dagger was about to reach her neck, a pen suddenly flew over, piercing the bodyguard’s forehead. He fell to the ground with a loud thud, undeniably dead from that one attack.

Everyone was shocked when they saw this.

Jaden turned to look at Adrian fiercely. ‘He’s the one who threw that pen!‘

At that moment, Adrian was already seated upright with the file removed from his face. Yet, he still seemed as calm as ever, which left Jaden shocked.

Hydra had also noticed Adrian as he said, “I wasn’t expecting for there to be another veteran here. What’s your name?” Adrian smiled and leaned back into his chair. “My name is Adrian Xander. Some people know me as Draco.”
