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."

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."

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."
