Adrian smirked at Leonardo's words.
Lately, Laura kept saying how Leonardo had fallen head over heels for Samantha after they got married. She even called Samantha nothing but trouble, saying all she did was wrap him around her finger.
That sparked Adrian's idea to use this moment to test Leonardo.
However, he never expected Samantha to sway Leonardo that much. He used to be curious about what could possibly get to Leonardo, who looked so invincible and cold-hearted. Much to his surprise, she was the reason that the tough-as-nails Leonardo had changed.
Adrian added, "Since you two are legally married, she's your wife."
With the weight of experience, he slowly continued, "If she can't even guide you in the right direction, what good is she? She doesn't have a solid family background or status. Someone like her doesn't deserve to be your wife, Leonardo."
Leonardo fired back, "Samantha is your granddaughter-in-law, Grandpa. I'd appreciate it if you stop saying stuff like that."
Adrian responded, "She needs to prove she can help you get ahead. If she can't even do the simplest things, I won't accept her as my granddaughter-in-law."
Leonardo pursed his lips. His last name was Garrett, and he'd always be part of the Garrett family. That connection ran deep in his blood.
If he wanted Samantha to be part of the family, he had to do something about it.
After a long pause, Leonardo finally let out a sigh. "Fine."
Adrian asked, "Will you be on time?"
Leonardo grunted in acknowledgment.
"That's great. I'll be waiting for you in the meeting," Adrian responded before ending the call cheerfully. After all, he got what he wanted.
