Chapter 856 For Nathan Cross's Sake

A Volkswagen Passat arrived at the entrance of the hotel in less than ten minutes.

Seeing it was the Director of Education, Mindy Stuart, and her secretary, Jedediah called upon Nathan, his daughter, and a fewothers to accompany him to welcome the unexpected guests, "Oh wow, what a pleasant surprise! Channing's Director ofEducation is here!"

Mindy took a respectful look at Nathan, following on with a polite reply to Jedediah, "Mr. Zinke, I'd heard that it is your sixtiethbirthday today. | hope that you won't mind me coming unannounced to give you a toast?”

Jedediah responded quickly, "I'm honored to have you here tonight. Welcome!"Meanwhile, two Audi A6 cars showed up. It was the Mayor of Channing, Russell Crow, and his group of officials.

Jedediah gasped with amazement. He then rushed over to welcome the VIPs. One could hear the excitement in his tremblingvoice, as he greeted him, "Mayor, to whom do | owe the pleasure?"

Russell smiled courteously, "| was informed that it is your birthday today. | have come here personally, to wish you."

The Zinkes and all their relatives and friends who were present were greatly astounded. What an honor and privilege to have themayor come personally, to wish him a happy birthday!

Jedediah was so flattered, that he had blushed with overwhelming exhilaration, "Thank you so much for gracing the occasionwith your presence. What did | do to deserve all of this? Mr. Crow and all reputable officials, please take a seat inside."

While everyone was getting ready to enter the hall, a red Hongqi and five jeeps suddenly arrived. A muscular middle aged man incasualwear alighted his vehicle with a group of soldiers.

Someone exclaimed, "Oh my heart, Franklin Wilson is here! The commanderin-chief of Channing's military base is here!"Major-General Wilson! Jedediah was beyond dumbfounded. He was awestruck.

Franklin greeted Nathan respectfully before turning to Jedediah and saying, "Mr. Zinke, | hope you don't mind me showing upwithout any prior notice. I'd discovered that it is your birthday today, so | wanted to send you my best wishes.”

The Zinkes made no mistake in their attempt to make sense of all of this. There could only be one reason why so manyinfluential political and military figures appeared suddenly at the birthday banquet. It was all because of Nathan Cross!

They saw how Franklin had greeted Nathan, with deference, even going as far as to address him as ‘Mr. Cross’. Then, they werereminded of the time when Nathan had suggested waiting for more guests to show up.

Having connected all the dots, everyone now had a different perception of Nathan.

If the act of Nathan purchasing a jewelry shop for Jedediah as his birthday present showed his great wealth, then what Nathanhad just demonstrated through inviting so many political and military figures, was his amazing power and status in society.Everyone looked at him with utter disbelief. Nathan was indeed second to none, in terms of power, privileges, and riches.

Soon, all guests were seated and the banquet began.Many key figures and socialites took turns and toasted Jedediah, providing him much pride and satisfaction.

Unwittingly, as he was getting a bit drunk, he held Nathan's hand and uttered emotionally, "Nathan, you are my best student. |am so proud of what you have become. You have never let me down.”

Nathan smiled at him gently, "All thanks to you."

Jedediah casually asked, "| can see that you are definitely experiencing success in your career right now, but what about interms of building a family? Have you found the one to marry yet?"

That was one question asked very bluntly!

Many turned to Nathan upon hearing that, especially Jarelle, who grew inexplicably nervous, secretly staring at Nathan."Oh yes, | am married and my daughter is already five years old," Nathan replied with a smile.

What?

Jedediah was flabbergasted at his words, whereas Jarelle could no longer hide the disappointment on her face!

Jedediah sighed, "Ugh, | used to think about letting my daughter marry you, making you my son-in-law. What a pity... It's too latenow!”

Russell knew that Nathan and Penny were as sweet as a pair of newlyweds, so he interrupted him, "Mr. and Mrs. Cross possesssuch a blissful relationship. Every day is a happily-ever-after for them. Mr. Zinke's daughter is a catch herself, and with suchoutstanding appearance and talent, | am sure that she has many admirers too! There should be no challenge at all, for you toreplace an ideal son-in-law."

Jedediah responded, "Haha, that's true, that's true! Now that Nathan is married, | should not talk about that anymore. Let meempty this glass as a penalty for bringing up the past.”

The multitudes clinked their glasses and drank happily. The banquet ended quite late.After the crowd had dispersed, Nathan personally drove the Zinkes back home.Jedediah was already drunk and he was now sleeping soundly.

“Hold on!" Jarelle stopped Nathan, as she gazed at his back with a complicated expression.Nathan turned and smiled lightly, "Is there anything else, Jarelle?"She bit her lip and then asked in a shaky voice, "Am | not good enough in your eyes?"
