The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 279

“Will you die if you don’t brag?” Samantha said.

“I’m telling the truth, Mrs. Legate!” Barry replied.

Adrian heaved a sigh. He hastily pulled out his phone and sent Daniel a text message to transfer the money out of the ATM card. Otherwise, he would be in deep trouble.

Daniel quickly got someone to do it after receiving the message.

Samantha grabbed her phone and dialed the bank’s phone number while she asked Adrian, “What’s your pin?

Adrian replied, “Your birthday.”

Samantha keyed in the card number into her phone followed by the pin to check the account balance and it showed there was twenty–six thousand dollars.

Adrian was relieved. On the other hand, Barry was utterly confused. He scratched his head and said, “That’s not right. There were a few billion dollars in the card earlier… Why is it just a few thousand dollars now…

“Will you die if you shut up?” Adrian glared at Barry.

Barry was sensible enough to zip his lips.

Samantha glared at Adrian furiously and said, “You told me you gave me all your money. You spent seventy thousand dollars on a painting and coupled with the twenty–six thousand dollars inside this

card, where did you get this ninety thousand?”

Rue let out a soft cough. She knew by now that her son was extremely wealthy. War Legate Draco was no doubt the wealthiest man in the world.

“This is the military pension that I just received recently. I haven’t had time to give it to you.”

Adrian hastily made up an excuse but Samantha doubted him.

Juno laid her head on the table covering her mouth. One could see that she was having a hard time stifling her laughter.

The dignified War Legate Draco was actually afraid of his wife. If people were to hear of this, he would surely be made fun of

At this very moment, Barry finally realized that Samantha was clueless about Adrian’s real identity.

Samantha kept the card and stopped fussing with Adrian. “We can’t give this painting to Grandmother. I’ll prepare another gift tomorrow.

She could not bear to spend so much money on a gift

“Sam, I just took a can of tea leaves from the department. Battle Warrior Lacas enjoys this particular tea and one can is worth more than ten thousand dollars. Why don’t we give that to her instead?”

“You took it from the department? Isn’t that theft? Sir Lucas will beat you up if he found out,” Samantha said ferociously. NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

“Sam, I’m not bragging but if Lucas has the courage to beat me up, I’ll call him daddy.”

“Yikes? You make it sound like you’re some big shot. He’s the battle warrior who controls the whole Southrive while you have nothing. Yet here you are saying such big words.”

Adrian burst out laughing while Samantha sniggered. With that, she stuffed the card into the bag and stopped fussing about

this with Adrian

Then, he said, “Oh right, Sam. Let’s get a new house. The place is getting a bit cramped, and we should have enough to put down as a downpayment for a new house.”

“What do you think, Mother?” Adrian asked Rue.

“I’m with We’ll get one if she says yes and won’t if she says no.”

Adrian looked toward Samantha,

Samantha wanted to get a new house too. However, she was slightly hesitant and said, “Frankly, I’d love to get a new house too but we only have a little over ninety thousand dollars on hand right now and it’s your money, Adrian. What if something were to happen to us and we need the money in the future?”

“How much money will we need? Don’t worry about the housing matters. I’ll get a mortgage. Moreover, veterans are

exempted from paying interest so we should be able to get a high loan. We can get a new house without using any money from our savings,” Adrian said.

“Really?” Samantha’s interest was piqued.
