Salute To The General

Chapter 1691

At this point, Kerk and Hayley were filled with so much dread that they would rather die.

Who would have thought that Nathan was really the renowned General himself?

They had assumed that he was nothing more than an ignorant bogus, and even called him a clown! Yet, they were the ones who had been the real clowns since the very beginning.

Their guts knotted up in fear and regret as they remembered how they had mocked Nathan and Penny at the entrance, attempted to have the guards arrest them, and hurled insults at them in front of all the other guests. How they wished they could dig a grave and bury themselves right there!

Of all people, they had offended General Nathan Cross, the most feared general of Eurasia.

Kerk and Hayley knew there was no escape. Despaired beyond tears, they kept their heads low and trembled in fear while walking hesitantly towards Nathan and Simeon.

“Do you both have a few screws loose in your heads?” Simeon lowered his voice, suppressing his burning anger as much as possible in front of the General.

“M-Mr. Carlton, I..." Kerk stammered as his eyes darted around in a panic. “Th-there was some m-misunderstanding behind this...”

“I didn't know that my cousin’s husband is the General of the North all along! I wouldn't even dare to speak against him if I'd known better...” Hayley defended in a shaky tone.

How she wished she hadn't been so harsh towards Penny and her husband If she had treated her cousin better, she could've earned herself a mountain load of privileges from being a relative!

If she had known better who her cousin truly was, she could've lived a glorious life with her head held high all the time. Her husband's career would've had an even brighter future too.

Alas, they had crushed such an opportunity in their own hands.
