Salute To The General

Chapter 296 He Is Indeed The Greatest Philanthropist In...

At 7 p.m. in the evening, when night fell and the city was all lit up, Nathan and Penny arrived at the

Grand Hyatt Hotel to attend the charitable auction. The couple had brought along with them a third

wheel, Kylie Tonkins.

Penny looked elegant and graceful, and was absolutely stunning. On the other hand, Kylie was sweet

and adorable.

Flanked by two beauties, each with their own merits, Nathan Cross was the focus of many other guests

as they turned their attentions to the three of them the minute they walked in.

Jude Hay came forward to welcome them accompanied by two assistants. His eyes sparkled with

desire as he sized Penny up in a gorgeous evening gown. With a broad grin, the man said, "Welcome,

Mr. Cross, Ms. Smith! You guys really made it here."

Penny replied with a chuckle, "We're raising funds for our alma mater tonight. How can I miss it!"

There was a good turnout at the charity auction, with the majority being entrepreneurs and business

men who were alumni of Channing University.

The guests were all allocated to different tables, and each table had a unique number card for them to

raise in order to indicate their interests in the items at auction.

Naturally, Nathan, Penny and Kylie were seated at the same table, while Jude Hay and his two

subordinates sat at the table beside.

The emcee for tonight's charity auction was Yale Xenakis, who was one of the most well-known and

experienced auctioneers in the city.

He was able to accurately appraise any item just by taking one look at it, be it ancient relics or modern

luxury goods.

As such, apart from being the emcee, Yale Xenakis was also appointed the main auctioneer of the
