“I’ve seen many cases like this. There are people in every city who behave this way. Your mother was dealt a tough hand There was nothing she could’ve done to change it.” Adrian interrupted.
“You’re right,” Joanna replied, “My mother may have had a tough life, but she loved me very much and missed me every single day. Before she died, she asked me to stay overseas and not return home. If I ever did, the DuPonts would surely use me for a political marriage and force me into marrying someone I don’t love.”
Adrian smiled and said, “The son of a higher–up in Northrive’s Internal Affairs, eh? That would make this man as powerful as
the ten battle warriors.
“The battle warriors are mainly Lasked with International affairs, such as being responsible for the battles at the outlands. Meanwhile, Internal Affairs is tasked with national duties such as management.
“However, your father trying to get you to marry the son of someone in Internal Altairs for his own benefit could go both ways, depending on how he plays his hand.”
“You seem to know a lot about this.” Joanna turned to look at Adrian
Seeing this, Samantha said, “Jojo, Adrian’s actually-”
Adrian cut her off before she could finish her sentence. “What I’m trying to say is that not even the legate would be able to interfere with this matter. He’s only authorized to handle internal department strifes. In other words, he has no right to go against a higher up of Internal Affairs.”
Samantha had wanted to tell Joanna that Adrian was the legate, but his interruption made her realize that he would not be able to prevent Joanna’s marriage either.
“Is there really nothing we can do, dear?” Samantha asked.
“There is a way, but we should ask and hear what Jojo plans to do first,” Adrian replied.
Samantha turned to look at Joanna, who heaved a deep sigh before she gritted her teeth and said, “I’m going to sue my father on my mother’s behalf. My father falled to fulfill his duties as her husband when she was alive. Plus, he even got himself
Degitimate son while they were still married. I’m sure he must’ve broken some rules, hasn’t he?”
“If your father’s from Internal Affairs or the Hattle Warrior Department, he’d be suspended from duty if he were found to have broken the law. However, if he’s just a mere businessman, all you’d be able to do is have him compensate you,” Adrian replied.
“I don’t want his filthy money!” Joanna cried.
“Then there’s nothing you can do to him.”
Joanna buried her head and cried when she heard this while Samantha shed some tears loo.
“Could you not sound so negative, dear? Can’t you do something to help ber? I’m sure her father will come looking for her and force her to go home and get married.”
Adrian replec, “We’re living in a world where we’re free to choose who we marry while our parents are only allowed to recommend potential spouses, not force them onto us. What I’m trying to say is that nobody will be able to force Jojo into any marriage she objects to.
“However, I believe this would only be a temporary solution. A more permanent solution would be to put the Palouts in their place.”
“Then please, dear. Corne up with a way to help her,” Samantha pleated, “Jojo’s ruy best friend. Aside from you, she’s the closest person to me in the world.
“Won’t you help her?”
Alas, Adrian’s heart softened when be saw Sarmantha’s expression and nudded in agreement.

“Jojo, I want you to stay at my place for the time being. You can help Sam with her company while I deal with your father and your family.”
“You’re going to handle this?” Joanna was slightly shocked.
Samantha let off a dry cough and smiled as she got to her feet. “Take a good look at him, Jojo. Allow me to formally introduce you to War Legate Draco! The very man you said you wanted to sleep with just a moment ago!”
“Huh?” Joanna’s mouth hung agape as she stared at Adrian in a daze.
