Salute To The General

Chapter 2063



Upon hearing about Nathan's arrival, Sage and his family rushed out of the hotel.

Shae, being the conceited woman she was, thought that Sage was there to welcome her.

She smugly approached him with her bodyguards in tow. She simpered and said, "Oh, General Tomlinson, you're too courteous! It's your fortieth birthday today! It's simply not right for you to come all this way to greet me."

While Shae appeared bashful on the surface, her mind raced with a vastly different sentiment. My family has been planning to unify the family with the Chief Military Governor through marriage. Good on Sage for realizing that I'll be his superior's wife and having the foresight to welcome me personally

However, what happened next was a slap in the face for Shae.

Sage exited the hotel with his entourage and made a beeline for Nathan. He brushed past Shae without even sparing a glance in her direction as if she did not exist.

“General, I can't believe you made it! It's such an honor to have you at my birthday banquet!"

The onlookers were befuddled when they saw how Sage treated Nathan with such respect despite Nathan's downfall.

Shae looked like she had smelled something putrid, her features twisted in an ugly grimace.

After all, she had assumed that Sage was there to greet her, but the general ignore her completely and gave Nathan a warm reception instead.

She was mortified.

Her blood boiled as she thought, How dare you, Sage Tomlinson. I am the bride-to-be of the Chief Military Governor, and when the time comes, I'll be your superior! But instead of trying your best to curry favor with me, you're sucking up to Nathan? Are you insane? Just wait till I marry the Chief Military Governor; I'll make sure that you regret your actions today!
