Salute To The General

Penny then whispered to Nathan, "Hubby, why did you come?"

Nathan chuckled, "Colin told me that Ariarica has sent people for the negotiation with Cross Group, so I came over to take a look. I wasn't expecting those robbers to be that conceited."

A bitter laugh escaped Penny at that. "Thank god you appeared. You've helped Cross Group through its crisis and stood up for me. Still, we didn't get to solve the root of this issue. I'm afraid that she'll definitely lie about some details when she reports to her superior. It's likely that Ariarica would try to take revenge on us for this."

Nathan laughed. "We'll take one step at a time. All we need to do is to go with the flow."

Affected by Nathan's optimism, Penny's gloominess seeped away a little. She then held Nathan's hand and smiled. "You're right. Even if Cross Group's overseas businesses are forced to close, our market stocks plummet, and we lose a tremendous amount of money, we must our and the county's honor. We must not sign Ariarica's oppressive contract and lower ourselves for meager things like these." Nathan chuckled. "Indeed. If we stand firm on this principle, Ariarica won't be able to do anything to us. However, we can't sit on our hands either. We can't just abandon all our overseas businesses without trying to defend ourselves. The best case scenario would be that we could protect our dignity and our overseas businesses."

Penny chuckled. "This will be up to you."

In the meantime, Jemma and her people scurried to Alberesque in the
