Salute To The General

Chapter 2340



A banquet was taking place at the Smith residence in Channing.

Sean and his extended family of more than a hundred were crowding around Penny and Nathan's family.

Sean was glowing with pride as he sang praises about his granddaughter. "The honor of being awarded the World Peace Prize is not only Penny's - it is the honor of the whole Smith clan to be associated with this!"

Smiling broadly, he raised his glass and toasted, "Here's to you, Penny! Thank you for making our family

proud!"

Penny was blushing a little, overwhelmed by all the attention lavished on her. "This award is not solely my achievement. It would not have been possible without Nathan and the past efforts of my late father-in-law. We owe it all to the support and encouragement from our family and friends too! Thank you, Grandpa. And a big thank you to my dear family!"

She raised her glass respectfully toward her relatives to honor them as well.

The whole clan joyously did a bottoms-up and congratulated Penny.

Benson and Leah were beaming from ear to ear. They had always been insignificant in the eyes of their family, but because of their daughter and son-in-law's achievements, they had become the star and the pride of the Smith family.
