Salute To The General

Chapter 287 Such Arrogance

As the time approached 8 pm, distinguished personages from all walks of life, who were attending the

cocktail party, started streaming into the Channing Hotel.

Most of the guests only knew, when they arrived, that the organizer of the event had been changed to

the Russo family, and that Dip Turner would not be present.

The Russo family was one of 'The Southern Four', and was highly regarded in the South.

As such, even though it was disappointing for most of the guests to hear that Dip Turner was not going

to turn up, they chose to stay on at the party, as a sign of respect for Shannon Russo.

Among the guests were Sean Smith and his family, who had specially come to butter up Shannon

Russo.

Nathan and Penny were among those who only knew of Dip Turner's absence, and the change in the

main organizer to the Russo family, when they reached the hotel.

Penny had a look of distress and was feeling unsettled when she heard the news.
