Leonard and the others were beyond excited and profusely expressed their gratitude to Dawson. He briefly chatted with Leonard and his family before instructing them to head back to their cells to pack.It was an emotional night filled with gratitude for them.The next morning in Swallowston, Adrian drove to the Xander Group and found Riley who had been waiting at the company entrance for a while.“Adrian!” she called out when she saw him.“Let’s go,” said Adrian.Riley cracked a heartfelt smile and got into the car. Together, they left Swallowston and headed to Skyton.Skyton was located near Swallowston—about a six-hundred-kilometer journey. Even though it was not far, Riley was deep in thought along the way. It had been a year and a half since the incident, yet it felt like a dream whenever she thought about it.“Have you figured it all out? What’s your plan after they’re released?” Adrian asked Riley casually as he drove.Leonard and the others would still be officially invo

Upon hearing Adrian’s remark, Riley’s heart raced. The man whom she loved was forced to leave her in the past because of her parents. She had never apologized to him and never had the chance to do so either.It was as if Adrian had awakened something inside her once again, making her feel that perhaps she should not run anymore.***The rest of the journey was quiet.Adrian and Riley arrived at Skyton in the afternoon. They did not head to the prison right away upon arriving at the city but picked out a restaurant to have lunch.At three in the afternoon, they headed toward Skyton Prison.The prison had already made arrangements for their arrival.They drove the car up to the prison entrance and a few patrolling guards walked over to ask for Adrian’s identification documents. He pulled out his war legate pass and gave it to the prison guard.The guard hastily saluted upon reading the document. “It’s you, sir. Please enter. Everything has been arranged for your arrival!”Adrian

They called out to Adrian from behind three times in a row, their voices were loud and resonant.Adrian did not linger and left the prison with Leonard and the others.***Leonard and the others walked out of the prison and saw the light of the day once again. They raised their heads and looked toward the Sun in the sky. They felt that their lives were wonderful and the sun was so warm.They got into the car and Adrian drove back to Swallowston, not saying a single word during the journey. No one spoke. Leonard and Wilfred attempted to start a conversation, but for some reason, they had no idea how to speak to their nephew who was the legate.The atmosphere remained cold and quiet for more than two hours.At last, Faye thought of a topic of conversation and said to Adrian, “We didn’t treat you well over the years, Adrian. We’ll change that from now on. Please don’t harbor what we’ve done in your heart.”Riley turned her head and glanced at Faye sitting in the backseat.Cedric h

Riley carried a hint of anticipation.Adrian smiled at her. It was perhaps another task that he wanted to complete. He could set his mind at ease over his family matters after Riley was married.***Adrian drove Leonard and the others back to Swallowston. At the same time, the Azure Creek command center made a call to Mount Sol Ecological Farmstead.In Sol County of Solville, Mount Sol stretched out for miles and was composed of dozens of interconnected mountains. The most prominent characteristic of Mount Sol was that the mountains were interconnected but were not especially high. On top of that, the mountains were not made up purely of rocks. Mount Sol was the most well-known mountain peak of all the mountains among the locals. As a result, the village and county were named after this mountain.Meanwhile, the interconnected mountains of Mount Sol had already been developed into the largest breeding farm, agricultural farm, and fruit orchard in Southrive. The farmstead was steadi

Marie spoke out against the injustice on Benson’s behalf. There was a rumor that had spread across Sol County about how Benson went to meet his girlfriend’s parents in Swallowston in the past when he was a nobody. He was then kicked out and forced to break up with her.Benson still could not move on from that woman. Many people berated the woman without her knowledge, saying she was no longer a worthy match for him.Upon hearing Marie’s remark, Benson hastily said, “Stop making things up, Marie. Though Riley’s parents aren’t great, she herself is a great woman. Moreover, she’s very gifted. She’d be many times more capable than me if she wasn’t born into that family of hers.”“Whatever you say, my great teacher. Was I wrong to say that? Look at how you’re defending her after just hearing me criticize her a little. Since you can’t move on from her, why don’t you go find her? You’re a millionaire now, so you’re sure to be a worthy partner,” said Marie.Benson heaved a sigh and replied
