Salute To The General
Chapter 1935

Chapter 1935

Over at Cross Group chairman's office, Penny was having a hard time contemplating her next step.

She rested her head on her hand as she sat by the table.

Things had been topsy turvy for the past month. She spent her days worrying about Nathan, only to receive news that he had gone missing.

Just as she thought things could not get any worse, people started gossiping about Nathan being a deserter, and now the Goldsteins were waiting to deal her a final blow. She felt she was on the verge of breaking down under immense pressure.

Knock knock!

The door opened and Kylie came in with a cup of coffee in her hand. She walked over softly and place the cup on Penny's table.

"Are you okay?" she asked gently.

Penny cocked her head and smiled weakly at her. "I'm fine, don't worry about it.”

Kylie sighed as she looked at her wasted cousin. “Penny, I heard people saying Nathan was a deserter..."

Penny grunted and nodded in distress. "Yes, I'm aware of that. Those people are making baseless accusations to damage his good name."

"I know. Nathan will never do something like that. I believe in him. I'm just worried that he might have run into some trouble. The war has already ended in the North, but we still have no clue of his whereabouts," Kylie replied.

A trace of worry filled her watery eyes. "Yeah... That's exactly what I'm worried about. Nathan is the God of War, the hero of Eurasia, but he has many enemies both within and without the country. They are ever waiting for an opportunity to ensnare him. I really hope he's not in some deep trouble. He has not contacted me for a long time, and no one from the army has any news about him."

Kylie went over and patted Penny on the shoulder tenderly. "Don't think too much, Penny. I'm sure Nathan will be able to face whatever comes his way. What we need to worry about is Webb Goldstein. Has he been bothering you?"

Penny rolled her eyes at the mention of that name.

She had already dealt with him once yesterday, but she did not expect him to come back and harass her again today.

This reminded her of what he said in the morning. If she refused to go to the hotel, he would send the article to the publishers and TV stations by tonight.

That would be the end of her.

Yet Penny also knew she would be walking right into his trap if she went to Aegean Hotel. Webb must have had all his men ready over there. That was why she had made up her mind to not go over.

But at the same time, Penny also knew full well that he was capable of ruining her reputation.

Given the Goldstein family's power and status, it was impossible for her to bring them to court.

"That guy is seriously giving me a headache. Could you help me call Thomas? Ask him to come over, I need his help."

If the law can't protect me from this man, I'm sure the King of the Underworld can. He's my last hope.

"I'll call him right away," Kylie said and dashed off.

Just as she was about to make a call, the door opened and a group of men came in unannounced.

Standing right in front was Jenny, who had excitement written all over her face. Behind her, was Thomas and his men.

Penny and Kylie were surprised to see Thomas. Penny sprang to her feet and darted over to greet him, while Kylie followed closely behind.

Before Penny could hold out her

hand toward him, Thomas stepped aside and his men followed suit,

clearing out a way leading to the et

door. Right after that, a sturdy and dashing young man appeared at the door, walking confidently into the room with a smile on his face.

Penny looked up and froze.

Nathan...? It's really him! It's Nathan!

It took Penny a good few seconds to come back to herself before she cried out in astonishment.

"Hubby!"

Kylie almost shrieked in shock when she saw Nathan. "Nathan! You're back!"

Nathan looked toward Penny and a warm smile spread across his lips. "Honey, I'm back."
